I've been thinking of storylines in the past, and for some of them I can't help but feel that the booking went the oppositie direction, which seems like the wrong direction. Sometimes it isn't even storylines, but how wrestlers are treated and what they accomplished (or should have accomplished).
So this thread is pretty much to just list the ones that come to your mind from any era, from any promotion.
- Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude and Ted DiBiase were amazing heels and great in ring workers, yet for some reason they never held the WWF Championship.
- Randy Savage has to go down of the one the greatest of all time. He had the look, the in ring skills and tons of charisma. Yet in his WWF and WCW days, this man never once pinned or submitted Hulk Hogan.
- Ultimate Warrior was WWF Champion and was over as hell. An interesting feud started with him and Savage. Instead of letting that be the main event of WrestleMania 7 - Title vs Career, they had Warrior drop the title to Slaughter at the Rumble, ONLY for Hogan to win the championship at WM7.
- WM8 was the first time the WWF Champion did not main event (last match) a WrestleMania. Why was that? Because Hogan was not the champion and busy main eventing (although the ending of the match did justify it a little bit).
- At WM9, Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart to win his first WWF Championship. A few minutes he was humiliated by Hogan and his reign ended on the same night.
- In one on one compeitition, Chris Jericho has never once beaten HHH. In fact he did once on Raw to win the WWF title, but it was ruled unofficial.
- Heading up to WM19, Booker T was the most supported face in the company. He was probably working the best he had in his WWE career. Couple that with the racial storyline they decided to throw in; everything pointed to the Booker man winning the title from HHH. But of course that didn't happen. HHH literally buried him. He hit his pedigree and allowed about 15 seconds to pass, before he crawled over and pinned Booker for the three. A few weeks later, Booker beat HHH in a lame non title match on Raw. Yeah, that made up for it.
I'll stop there for now, but will add more later.
