8 Ways WWE Have Already Been Worse Than WCW In 2019

7. Lars Sullivan's Lucha Disaster

There were a lot of things wrong with WWE's Super ShowDown disaster, and Lars Sullivan's disqualification victory over the assembled trio of the Lucha House party was arguably the least troublesome of the lot. But it was also entirely symptomatic of the rot devouring WWE's booking in the first half of 2019.

Originally, the plan - as many expected - was for monster Sullivan to obliterate the tumbling triptych, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with and causing no appreciable damage to an act few are particularly invested in - especially a localised Middle Eastern crowd. Instead, the three leathered Lars in front of a completely dead audience, handing the loner a disqualification victory.

After the beatdown, a seething Sullivan laid on one of his own, braying the winners on the entranceway. Ultimately, the match achieved the sum total of absolutely nothing. Why didn't Reddit's least-favourite message board member simply win in the first place - which he then did in a handicap match on the very next Raw anyway? Logic is on a permanent vacation.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
