'WWE PG'

 

There was that little period around 2008-2010, fresh of the Benoit thing they went ultra kid friendly, everything was bright colours and they even stopped matches for blood. I always remember the Summerlsam logo/poster looked like a holiday camp wrestling show. Obviously they stayed PG for a good few years but it evolved into something a bit more serious.

Just 'WWE Champion Jinder Mahal' would do it for me.

Actually, 'WWE Champion Bradshaw' still annoys me 20 years later. Low points both.

I believe the “one sentence” you’re looking for is “JBL is poopy.”

I mean that didn’t actually happen as they switched the belt to AJ but aye.

In between around 2019 and Vince leaving, I think WWE hit its creative low point. I genuinely couldn’t tell you what they were doing at that point; the stories were either non-existent or abysmal. 

The Kurt Angle/Booker T/Sharmell storyline was a real low point, particularly the line where Angle described sex with Sharmell as ‘bestiality’ 

Sheik Abdul Bashir was also pretty grim in TNA - specifically his theme song, which began with the sound of a plane engine.

The ‘piggy James’ storyline was pretty awful on a number of levels, as were any of the angles in which Santino compared Vickie Guerrero to a hog. 

Anything involving Vince McMahon being taken aback by or even looking at his daughter’s breasts is pretty vomit inducing, as is any sexual angle involving Stephanie or even Linda (Bischoff making out with her, Vince making out with Trish in front of her) as you can’t help but suspect Vince was genuinely getting off at some or all of this, and it’s just nasty.

Onita booking Bruiser Brody's murderer for Japan then running an angle where he gets stabbed.

Truly the worst of all the million variations of "evil management" they did and by a significant margin. Stephanie in particular was such an insanely terrible heel character. Awful to watch and always dominant. Everything this angle touched turned to complete shit.

James Ellsworth taking down the briefcase in the first women’s MITB match. More “hilarious” Vince humour and evidence of the sheer cuntery of the man.

The fat baby oil thong guy who Vince clearly found absolutely fucking hilarious.

Wasn't he a very hated guy in the back? I'm sure i read he was a bit of a d!ck so the writers would keep suggesting it to Vince knowing a)he loves it and b)how embarrassing it was for that guy.

Real healthy work culture obviously.

I know he did more but I feel from 04 to 09 Big Show bounced around Cena-Kane-Taker on a loop.

Not sure of the specifics but I am 99% certain he was an office guy. 

It felt like their entire idea of comedy for years was "...and then the lubed up guy comes out LMAO!!!!! And Ron Simmons says DAMN!!!!!! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOL"
