Bottom of the barrel

[LaGoosh]

It was Chris DeJoseph, he was one of the lead writers. He went on to create Lucha Underground.

General feeling was it was designed to embarrass him for sneezing or something in front of Vince. Who knows why though? Finkel and Ross were model employees and Vince loved nothing more than belittling them on TV.

From the highs of The Bloodline, Sami & Cody for a couple of years to the absolute bottom.

Corporate Kane

“Kane & Big Show” is a good one for several years’ worth of “how can we waste everyone’s time instead of giving babyface X something decent?”

[The King of Old School]

Always made me laugh when a new champion was faced with the "impossible" task of Kane or Big Show as there first feud with them trying to get over how dangerous they were.

I've just seen the last 5 champions beat them, why would this one be any different?

A lot of moments being mentioned that I have zero attachment to, so I can't call them bottom of the barrel, but that period after Summerslam '97 where Bret had regained the belt for the last time, but is then shuffled down for Shawn to take over as top heel until Austin won the belt at WrestleMania the next year may be one of the most nihilistic periods I was a fan during. Austin gets the neck injury, Davey gets fucked over in the UK, Pillman dies, Bret gets screwed, Neidhart gets made a bigger joke out of, Owen can't leave, Shawn and Triple H hold the show hostage, everything has such a mean spirit to it. For me, it had gone from the best period I'd known with the Austin/Harts feud to just devoid of any joy.

It was always the same with “how is anyone going to be able to eliminate Big Show/Kane/Mark Henry etc from the Royal Rumble”. Well, I’ve seen them be eliminated in every Rumble they’ve competed in.

Christ, I had no idea this happened and with Max Caster, too.

That Lashley/Zayn feud always sticks out in my mind because not only was the content awful, they had Lashley win the PPV match with a suplex which just seemed to cement Zayn as a complete loser.

I could never get past Jack Swagger as a world champion, even if it was the shit belt.
