ITT: Wrestlers who seemed to be the next big thing that get dropped all of a sudden and ended up as midcarders at best

I've noticed more people are obsessed with the waifus rather than the product. Was there ever a bad season? I've given up on pro wrestling, is this worth a last look before I leave the industry to die until Brie Bella returns to the ring?

ITT: We correct the Wrestlemania main events, but in a way that wouldn't ruin the continuity of the actual timeline.

I'll start with where it went massively wrong.

WM 9: Hogan (c) vs Yoko.
If Hogan loses he has to retire, which he does.

>WM 10: fine

>WM 11: fine but obv the title match has to be the main event

>WM 12: fine

WM 13: Bret (c) vs Austin.
Bret retains, double-turn just like it happened.

>WM 14: fine

>WM 15: fine

>WM 16: basically fine, but should have been 1 vs 1

WM 17: Rock (c) vs Austin vs Triple H.
Result just like what really happened, except Vince, Austin and Trips unite that very night, not next night on RAW. Trips beats Jericho for the IC title the next night on RAW.

WM 18:
Title match: Jericho (c) vs Angle (Jericho doesn't get buried in his own feud, we get an actual good match, and interesting entertaining heel v entertaining heel dynamic)
Grudge match: Triple H vs Austin, as their year-long alliance crumbles
Main Event: Rock vs Hogan, as it was

>WM 19: fine

>WM 20: fine

WM 21: I can't correct this or subsequent ones without significantly changing the future timeline. To me, this is the night wrestling died, as The Steroid Wigger and The Steroid Annimul went over, kicking off a decade of their godawful dominance.

>Asuka as a worker is, with the possible exception of A.J. Styles, equal to or better than anyone in the company.

What did Dave Meltzer mean by this?

>In 2012, Brooks (aka AJ Lee) was due to take part in a series of goofy skits in which her character hallucinated, kissed a leprechaun and danced with dinosaurs from outer space. But, as a real-life secret sufferer of bipolar II disorder, and the daughter of a mom with the same condition, she couldn’t go through with it.

>“It felt like it disrespected both me and my mother,” says the 30-year-old, who at the time was only public about her mother’s mental illness. “It was a joke, but, to me, it wasn’t something to laugh at.” As punishment for her refusal to do the skit, she was taken off TV for two months.

WWE "creatives" might be better off writing storylines for DDT
