It was way before that. Wrestling fell off the cliff in 2007. Both TNA and WWE weren't good after that.

It's been going down hill before they showed up. Around late 2000 is when things when downhill.

2011 CM Punk

went from a steady drive down to a fucking freefall

When those Shield faggots showed up on the main roster.

Cm punk's idea

Because they were WWE's big chance to make two new stars and Bryan got hurt when they eventually pulled the trigger on him, and Punk was always treated second best to Cena and Rock and walked out. Punk is a whiner but he really did get wasted.

This. Faggot phil had to politics his way to burying the big guy too.

this is because he was

False, wwe went back up with Batista and cena

When Benoit died is the correct answer.

>>1540676
2001

>>1540695
The correct answer. The shieldettys have killed the company.

>>1540880
He's better than Cena in every aspect. It's only that his gimmick didn't have as much definition as Cena's.
You can "hi Phil" me all you want, but I know for a fact that every single one of you tryhard contrarians would shoot loads of joy if he'd return, just because it's Phil.

If a 434 day title is 'being wasted'. what would not being wasted look like?

This is the exact moment that wrestling died. They had a chance to reach new heights, and they pissed it away to spite themselves. Wrestling will never EVVVVVVVVVER be as popular again.

This! This! This!

They should've just held out until all those AOL-Time Warner contracts expired in 2002 and just give Sting a truck load of money.

>>1540676
PG era is when it fell off big time.

>>1540695
THIS.

>>1540697
So given the choice between Bryan vs Eddie and Khali vs Strowman you choose the latter? Crazy motherfucker

It was the combination of a lot of things including Benoit's murder suicide and Linda's run for Politics. There would be no way the WWE would continue living if they didn't decide to go PG/PC. I honestly don't blame the roster considering that's what Vince wants you to think.

Furthermore the WWE is still making millions of dollars by regressing to their previous child friendly product. Vince still wins.

Getting to main event PPVs and not have the belt be treated like a midcard title for over a year

It wasn't; that happened a decade earlier.

GET SHIELDED

>>1541419
Hey phil! I would be glad to have you back to feed yourself to Roman after losing your first ufc fight

Shield splitting made it even worse then it was before it was getting slightly better until then, still it hasn't been the same since around WM 21-22...
