6. Who Is The Bunny? WaitTheres A Wrestling Bunny?
The runner up for worst story of the year has to be without doubt the abomination that was Adam Rose and the Bunny. Yes thats right in 2014 WWE there was a wrestler called The Bunny. How the writers managed to segue a four years too late Get Him to the Greek rip-off gimmick, into a feud between a rock star and a bunny is storytelling alchemy that would be remarkable if it wasnt so infuriating. The Bunny was initially a member of Roses Rosebud entourage - one who JBL inexplicably had a pathological interest that bordered on obsession with. The Bunny then starting getting involved in matches, and it was clear based off the fact he could pull of some good in ring work and a pretty decent super kick, he was a wrestler. Briefly there was speculation and a bit of buzz amongst the WWE Universe as to who the Bunny could possibly be. Was it Shawn Michaels? Was it Xavier Woods? Was it someone else from NXT about to burst onto the main roster in probably the worst way possible? WWE encouraged this speculation, even going so far as to cover up the Bunnys forearms after they were visible during a match, implying that there must have been some sort of identifying mark. http://youtu.be/l4PrYT4bCdY This interest and speculation waned very quickly as it became clear that not only was the Bunny not going to be revealed, but in fact was going to become involved in matches and would be the catalyst for an unwanted heel turn from a mid-card talent that the audience had lost pretty much all tolerance for. The WWE is clearly not planning on revealing who is under the mask and has moved on from even pretending its a mystery. The Bunny is the Bunny, and his rival is his former tag partner. And we are all a little poorer as people for having endured this dreck.
