Makes sense. A successful babyface's job is to make themselves look good, but a successful heel's job is to make someone else look good. The second job requires that you just be a better person, that you put the show above your personal brand, and that you think of someone else's needs. It's also why Triple H's "reign of terror" is on the list, since he was a heel who was squashing babyfaces instead of making them look good, and costing WWE some top talent in the process.

There was a LOT more to Kennedy being fired than just Orton complaining about him. Both Orton AND Cena complained that he was unsafe, Kennedy repeatedly got injured at inopportune times as he was being pushed, and most importantly of all, he tested positive for HGH immediately after he gave an interview on national tv in which he lied and he said never touched steroids or other PED's- and crucially this was in the immediate wake of the Benoit tragedy, so the whole thing made him and the company look really bad. I'm not saying that I necessarily think it was right that he was fired- especially when it comes to getting injured- but it definitely wasn't just Randy Orton that made it happen.

[@jeremywilliams5141]

Another instance of Hogan abusing his power happened in 1991 when Hulk falsely claimed that the Undertaker injured his neck from the Tombstone piledriver at Survivor Series, trying to make Taker look unsafe and reckless. I believe that is why Taker dropped the world title back to Hogan at the "This Tuesday in Texas" PPV days later.

I think because of nostalgia and all the kids 10 years ago now being adults, a lot of people have forgotten how bad the "CENAWINSLOL" era was. He was a big star and that's fine, but there's a problem if nobody is allowed to rise to his level/exceed it. WWE refusing to make new stars during the cena era is partially the reason why the roster is so low on star power today, and why roman was hot shotted to the "FOTC" role. They put all the eggs in Cena's basket thinking he'd never leave, and when he did they weren't prepared. Having only one top guy is a dumb strategy because if that guy ever dies/leaves/gets hurt, you're screwed. Cena is a legend, but his booking in the late 00s and early 10's damaged the company.

Another factor in Kennedy being fired, instead of simply having his push ended or something like that, was that Vince was in a really foul mood that time due the original arena for that raw being switched due to their original one having a basketball game. It's why the match, where Kennedy dropped Randy on his shoulder, had them all in jerseys.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

I think the biggest factor is that he was upsetting the big names in one way or another. He injured Cena (torn pectoral muscle), dropped Orton on his shoulder, and angered The Undertaker, who rarely ever acts out, but remember when he wrapped that chair around Kennedy’s head? Apparently he wasn’t happy with Kennedy during their feud at that time. So really it’s his own fault that the other guys were going to McMahon to say “hey, we don’t want to work with this guy, he’s not safe”.

Triple H's reign of terror is something that I personally, can never forgive. The careers of RVD and Booker T are prime examples of ones that would have turned out completely differently had Triple H done the job. Instead, these insecure Divas used their political sway to destroy other people's careers and it is disgusting. If RVD was allowed that world title reign in 2002, the precedent would have been set for him to stay in the main event scene, rather than waiting years later in 2006. He would have been as big as the legends we all know and love like Austin. And I get it, people are afraid of losing their position in the company, I get that. But c'mon man, Triple H was with Stephanie McMahon at that time, the idea that he would be relegated to the midcard for any long period of time was a joke at best. No, rather he was afraid of someone like RVD or Booker T staying in the limelight with him. I mean RVD is around the same age as Triple H (2 years younger to be exact) so he could have been replaced theoretically. Sigh, it just gets me so frustrated. These fragile egos just couldn't stomach the idea that someone was as good as they were, if not better. One of the biggest tragedies of the Ruthless Aggression era, for sure. And I do admit that Triple H has done good things for the wrestling business, but his politics are bullshit. Edit: I don't get people referencing RVD's 2006 arrest. My statements have nothing to do with that, nor is it at all relevant. RVD was at his prime in 2001 and 2002, in 2006 he was past that. Still a great performer and one of the best, but he was closer to 40 at that point.

That's why, Mark Calaway aka The Undertaker is the greatest of all time, he had all the power backstage and was well respected by all wrestlers, but he never abused that position.

The Rock is among the greatest yes, but not greater than Hogan, Bret, Undertaker IMO I love him more as an actor, he quit wrestling at the peak of his career, the others continued putting their health on the line for the wrestling industry, now they are physically broken, that alone deserves more recognition.

There’s a few that makes sense, or shoulda happened, like the Roman table spot, Roman was ultimately right, and even tho the Nia/Lana table feud was their thing, it was ultimately stupid, and shoulda been dropped a long time ago, Cena not allowing Swagger to win the WWE belt, as we saw, Swagger just wasn’t over enough at that time, why give it to someone who clearly wasn’t ready yet, and proved he wasn’t ready when he won the heavyweight title

[@kyuubimadara]

Whenever I come across one of these lists, I'm surprised at how no one ever mentions how Cena took credit for the storyline developed by Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins wherein the story would involve the duo harrassing wrestlers backstage. They pitched this to Cena under the promise that the latter would propose it to Vince for them. Cena would eventually steal this idea and give the story to Miz and R-truth and take the credit for it. Tyler Reks who revealed this in an interview said that Cena did what was called a "Birchalll" which was a term wreslters used to to describe how storylines pitched by wrestlers were given to others. It was named after Paul Birchall who had it done to him repeatedly.

[@KlawMan27]

Reigns was just smart enough to not let a joke match use a spot fit for the main event. That wasn't abuse, it was quality control

[@LadyCoyKoi]

And saved the wrestlers' life. Too many table spots can do a number on the spine. Reigns is known for being and playing it safe. Which is why when a wrestler is in the process of recovery and has to have a match, the likes of Reigns, Orton, Kane or Undertaker are safe beats to not botch that recovery.

Jack Swagger now Haggar was a lousy champion, like it or not he offered nothing. His highest personality movement was "We the people," and even AEW has not given Haggar a title knowing he lacks personality. Number 7, Roman was right, two table breaks on the same show would have watered down the effects of it. 5 Triple H reign of terror had him beat everyone using outside help making his opponent look strong in defeat. Booker needed something more, King Booker was perfection. Goldberg was defeated with a sledge hammer, think about it. To beat Goldberg a sledge hammer was needed. This made Triple H seen as he could not beat his opponent unless he recieved help. Stiener before piting Scott look at the matches, Triple H was throwing himself all over the place, Stiener was robotic in moving and finding out he needed surgeries and was really injured made me wonder what really could have been. Fact is Scott was in no shape to wrestle he needed to get the ring rust off, and rebuild himself in squash matches so he could heal and make himself bigger. Instead Triple H did his best to make Scott move. What was not shown here was the Montreal Screw Job, like it or not as seen on the eyes of an owner Bret was wrong in demanding not to lose the title on his last match on his last day. Think about it, if a wrestler was leaving the company with a title that represented your company what would you do? Satisfy a selfish wrestler that was leaving or what needs to be done for your company? That should have been #1.

in the case of Kofi no, it's ridiculous , kofi just forgot the end of the match that's all, it's not catastrophic ( if jofi repeated several times this error then yes the action of orton would have been justified ) Otherwise we can talk about the times when orton botch or when he forgot his line in front of sheamus then break the kayfabe and ask to sheamus his line Wrestlers are human beings like us, you can imagine that for a moment they will make mistakes, especially since wrestling is a difficult profession. the important thing is to improve and avoid repeating the same mistakes to avoid putting the life of others in danger
