10 Worst Years To Be A WWE Fan
1. 2007
2006 was a worse year on television. Batista went down hurt. John Cena went from getting 50/50 reactions to getting booed out of buildings. The spectre of Eddie Guerrero hung over the product, not least because they wouldn't let the legend actually rest in peace. Rey Mysterio was pushed then punished then both for being his best mate and being over. Last great earnest babyface hope Rob Van Dam was popped with pot a month into his run. ECW fell apart within weeks and sent Paul Heyman packing from the company completely.
But 2007 reminded you how little any of that mattered.
The Benoit family tragedy cast a shadow over the industry, it's ills, and the company at large. A series of suspensions that spun from increased pressure on a laughable wellness policy made stories impossible to see through, not like they even felt important after real life and death had intervened.
This went beyond bad episodes of Raw and SmackDown, or crap angles with no stars. This was a show that suddenly felt like it shouldn't be airing at all if double murder-suicide was a possible byproduct, indirect or otherwise.
