12 Worst WWE Storylines Of The PG Era

1. May I Have You Attention Please?

World Wrestling Entertainment has an obsession with antagonistic authority figures. The Mr. McMahon development of the late 1990s was such a success that the decades since have seen evil authority figures come and go and come once again, all the way up to the modern day with The Authority themselves.

In any normal world Mike Adamle would take the cake as the worst example of this, but for an entire year RAW was ran by an anonymous character who acted by sending emails to a laptop at ringside, to be read out by an increasingly irritating Michael Cole.

The messages would often come with a number of delicious red herrings, well-known phrases designed to move the speculation of the audience in a particular direction.

Initially the idea came with some intrigue, but soon it became clear that WWE didn't actually have an endgame to this story. There was no figure behind the emails, and WWE had no idea how to get out of this funk.

The Anonymous General Manager took an entire year to amount to nothing, eventually fazed out. A year after being removed from TV the reveal came, and if you haven't worked out who it was by now then you haven't being paying attention.

Remember for future reference; if WWE has a big reveal and it takes a little too long to come out, chances are it will be Hornswoggle.

Whilst this story takes my personal biscuit as the worst of the PG Era, truth be told any number of these atrocities could have taken the top spot. It's been bleak, to say the least.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
