14 Reasons 2015 Was The Worst Ever Year For WWE Creative

11. Hardly Anyone Is Over

In thinking about 2015 creatively, you might be tempted to say that 1995 or 1993 was worse. Allow me to share with you one major difference between then and now. In those years, the WWE had several talents that were OVER! When Luger flopped in '93, Vince went back to Bret Hart. When Diesel flopped in '95, Vince went back to Bret again and then tried Shawn Michaels. Nobody on the current main roster, outside of John Cena and Brock Lesnar, is over. That is a major problem! In 1995, the company was running on Diesel power and while Kevin Nash's year-long run as WWF Champion was considered a failure, there were plenty of other superstars that captivated crowds throughout the year. Bret Hart was over. Shawn Michaels was over. The Undertaker was over. Razor Ramon was over. Hell, even Diesel got over once he dropped the title late in the year and turned heel/tweener the night after Survivor Series '95. And 1993? Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Yokozuna all headlined various PPVs that year and, like 'em or not, those men were over. These superstars of '93 and '95 made the best of any poor storylines the WWE put them in, and the fans believed in these men. There is no such correlation to 2015.
