What is the worst run in raw history
- Thread starter Ed MOTHERFUCKING G
- Start date
Anything from 2005 to 2011. That was easily the WOAT time period for WWE. I flat out did not watch WWE during that time frame. Thank goodness I discovered TNA in '07, and I wish I had discovered it sooner, because that turned shytty around 2010 (Bischoff/Hogan era).

Besides this current era being so bland, I think what makes it worse than previous eras is that the WWE has been continuously siphoning other feds for their talent, only to not maximize that talent. This entire roster is loaded with an amount of in-ring talent they haven’t had in years, but outside of NXT, you don’t see that talent flourishing weekly. AJ and Nakamura have wrestled 3 WWE matches, and none have come close to the feel of NJPW. The WWE’s build of that feud has amounted to “look, these guys wrestled in Japan, and now they’re in front of the WWE UNIVERSE

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!

Man, when Corey Graves said at WrestleMania that we were about to see a classic, I almost felt sick. They have to go too far every time they get their hands on something good. The WWE Championship being on the line didn't even factor into the build. It was just a bunch of "dream match" shyt. Even with Nakamura turning heel, I still feel like the feud has no direction. They've almost completely sabotaged something everybody was looking forward to seeing.
You know what else was a dream match? Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels. And I don't remember them running that shyt into the ground. I was watching a segment from 2009 where Undertaker told Shawn he was going to realize how dangerous he was in the ring and he should be concerned with what's going to happen to him physically. It was simple. Both guys had to win this match and that was that. They didn't keep saying "dream match" every time they advertised it. Even though RAW in 2009 wasn't looked at well, they still knew how to make us want to see a match at that point.
Then again, some things never change, because originally, the match was going to go on third or fourth and only get 15 minutes.

Intentionally sabotaging a match. They know you don’t advertise a championship match by screaming a million times that it’s a dream match. You sell the importance of the match and what’s at stake. You also never draw attention to if the match is going to be good. If they wanted it to succeed, they’d have built it up like rock vs Austin 2 for example. Once again this goes back to them not wanting it to be good, not wanting anyone to be as big as they can be, and wanting the brand to be the draw.Man, when Corey Graves said at WrestleMania that we were about to see a classic, I almost felt sick.

Last time WWE was good was SmackDown 2016
Before that ..... 1999
But even in 1999 you could feel it kinda starting to slowly fall off
Like not super noticeable but it feels different

2000 > 1999, your point still stands though

The HHH reign of terror that forced Eugene, Kane, Taker down our throats for months on end. Just horrific 
The Two Man Power Trip was pretty rough as well.... chair beatdowns every single week was super cheeks too

Two Man Power Trip was before the brand split, so i just mixed the sorry ass Taker timeframe up. Either way, the shyt was unwatchable.
Taker wasn’t on raw at the time

I don’t even have to flip to Raw to know it’s shytty, yet I flip to it for a couple seconds and am proven right. I never thought I could be more disinterested in wrestling after sitting through Smackdown 2004 after Raw swiped them during the draft, and during the major PG shift from 08-11. What a disgrace this company is.
