Use this thread to nominate angles/segments/matches you believe to be terrible enough to deserve a place in the Hall of Shame for 2009. Basically, if you see something in wrestling and you think "oh man I can't believe how bad that was" then mention it here. Name and shame the companies and wrestlers involved.
A few that spring to mind for 2009 so far:
Feuds: Triple H vs Randy Orton
Boring feud that dragged on way too long and should have ended at Wrestlemania....
Kane vs Khali
Was there any possible reason to redo this feud? Plus, it's got on two PPVs and is STILL going.
PPVs: TNA Victory Road 2009
Horrible.
TNA Bound For Glory V
Pretty much worse than any WWE PPV, and this is supposed to be their Wrestlemania.
Matches: Triple H vs Randy Orton - Wrestlemania XXV - WWE
All that build, all that hype, and they go out there and do... that? Match was so slow and boring. Triple H in main events basically guarantees a snoozefest nowadays. Sure, Orton was bad too, but Cena could have got something great out of him I'm sure, as he did at Summerslam 2007. Finish was god awful and the wrong man went over.
Lakers vs Nuggets - RAW - WWE Nominated by Nicky Talent
Pretty pointless way to bash Kroenke on TV... if thats what it was.
Vickie Guerrero vs Santina Marella - Hog Pen Match - Extreme Rules - WWE
This was just painful to watch on every level...
Sharmell vs Jenna Morasca - Victory Road - TNA
lmao
Mick Foley vs Abyss - TNA Bound for Glory
Contender for Worst match of the decade.
Segments/Angles/Other terrible decisions: Santina Marella -WWE
Fucking terrible. Don't even need to explain it, and I have in other threads anyway. Not funny.
A Night with ODB - TNA
...Or whatever it was called. lol @ the shitness of that segment at Destination X. Went on longer than any match.
Kid Rock performing at Wrestlemania - WWE
...and taking time away from other things, such as one of the most hyped matches on the card, which was too short as a result =lol.
Supershane - WWE Nominated by Lord Steventon
The bosses 40 year old son making main eventers look like shit.
Samoa Joe's new gimmick - TNA Nominated by Number Nine
Joe going round with a machete, a penis tattoo and some generic indy jobber pants ftw?
Diva Battle Royal - WWE Nominated by Horrorfan_1986
Calling back former divas for a clusterfuck match in which they didn't even get a name check.
"Dr Stevie"/Abyss segments - TNA Nominated by Nicky Talent
Yeah its basically just horrible. Abyss's character is cringeworthy nowadays.
General Hot Potato-ing of Titles - WWE
Nominated by RaiZ-R
Nearly every PPV in 2009 (until Extreme Rules) has had World title changes, with a lot of pointless month long reigns. Extreme Rules alone had 4 World Title changes. The belts basically mean nothing anymore.
Donald Trump buys RAW - WWE Nominated by The Brain
A man with no real connection with wrestling somehow manages to buy a show within a company, then Vince buys it back a week later.
The RAW Guest Host idea, ESPECIALLY Piven -WWE
Terrible. Just a way for celebrities to come in and shamelessly plug their shit at the expense of hyping the next PPV. Piven/Dr Ken were particularly cringeworthy.
DX Reunion skits - WWE
The ones with Michaels working as a cook. Good God they were bad.
DX/Vince segment from 24/8 - WWE Nominated by Goldberg, but everybody knows how bad it was
30 minutes of TV time went into this fucking abortion of a segment, full of unfunny comedy and pointlessness.
Chavo/Hornswoggle - WWE
Hornswoggle defeats Chavo week after week for about 2 months in a variety of different match types, all in the name of "comedy". TERRIBLE.
Cody Deaner/ODB - TNA
More god awful "guy wrestling women" shit. TNA decided to take the idea and make it that bit worse by adding the title into the mix. Nice going guys.
The Bella Twins - WWE
So you have a couple of twins who are only employed for the very reason that they're twins. You have no idea what to do with them, hence the constant brand switches, and yet you insist on trying to get them over regardless, having them beat talented wrestlers (Katie 3 times), giving them a shitload of shoots, putting them in the new game etc, even though nobody gives a fuck about them. There's no diva tag titles, neither is ever going to get a singles push, so whats the fucking point? Terrible.
The Gimmicking of PPVs - WWE
Don't you miss the time when every PPV wasn't restricted to showcasing a certain gimmick match? I miss when those matches came about naturally at the end of long feuds. Now we have a PPV for all hardcore, a PPV for Hell in a Cell, a PPV for Submission matches, a PPV for TLC. It's awful stuff really.
Teddy Long/Undertaker Limo Segment - WWE
This was as cheesy and ridiculous as wrestling gets. Especially the gasp of terror from Long.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Lacey Von Erich - TNA
Angelina Love is talented, charismatic, beautiful and sexy as hell, but her replacement is none of that and less. Why didn't they just keep it to Velvet and Madison rather than replace the LEADER of the stable with somebody who just stands in the background killing their vibe?
Non-Booking Terribleness/General Ineptitude Angelina Love Visa Situation
You would think that a wrestling company would keep tabs on one of their top stars (star of the Knockouts division, which draws high ratings, one half of the Beautiful People team), but apparently, TNA didn't, allowing her visa to her expire and forcing them to release her on the spot, despite her being advertised for the upcoming PPV. BRILLIANT.

I will update this if people nominate more terribleness from the year so far, or in future as it happens, then we can have our very own wrestling hall of shame for 2009.
