10 Worst Years To Be A WWE Fan
5. 2019
WrestleMania should go a long way to determining how a year in WWE will be remembered. It is simultaneously the finale of one and the beginning of another despite the company advertising itself as the show that never ends.
It's the most brightly coloured of all the events but exists in the grey area - a turgid 'Mania can be blamed on the bad year that came before it, whilst a great one can be spun as kicking off a year with promise and hope.
2019's edition of the show did both of those things, and still couldn't haul an all-time stinker of an annum over the line for WWE thanks to Vince McMahon's worst excesses.
On the same legendarily bad Raw, the self-proclaimed "genius" introduced a horribly destructive Wild Card rule to his failing split brand operation, changed it during the broadcast and buried the Raw Tag Team Division under the weight of wafer-thin punchlines - the Revival were heading for the exits a*se-first for the duration of their deals.
It was WWE's 2019 in a nutshell - chaotic undermining of otherwise interesting events, including but not limited to the untenable 2-out-of-3 falls matches spell, the reducing of Kofi Kingston's Championship reign to rubble and risking the pedigree of NXT to wage a new wrestling war.
