15 pro wrestling bookings that went horribly wrong

Over the years, WWE has nailed a number of major decisions when it comes to their bookings in feuds and storylines. Unfortunately, there’s been a few that have been absolutely awful. Here’s 15 of those horrible bookings that have stuck out over time.

No matter what decision WWE makes in terms of who wins and loses a match, a feud or who looks stronger in an overall storyline, fans are never going to agree on everything about something wrestling-related.

(Seriously. Ask a Roman Reigns fan about their opinion on him and then someone that isn’t and see the massive differences.)

But for some situations, the masses can agree on a few bookings that went completely off the rails and were just flat-out bad. (I know you remember the Katie Vick storyline.)

Having mentioned bad moments in WWE’s history, here’s a list of 15 bookings that were terrible, starting with the only impromptu world title match in WWE (and WrestleMania) history with arguably the company’s biggest star of all-time.

15. Hulk Hogan, with Bret Hart’s “blessing,” defeats Yokozuna at WrestleMania IX, 1993

There’s been plenty of bad bookings in WWE history, long before WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas. The event, the company’s first ‘Mania that was held outdoors, is probably one of the worst productions in WrestleMania history and the main event after the main event is a big reason why.

In the true main event of the evening, Bret Hart defended the WWF Championship against Yokozuna. The challenger’s Hall of Fame manager, the late Mr. Fuji, threw some salt in Hart’s eyes and it helped the big man win the title.

After the match, Hulk Hogan returned to the ring following a match with Brutus Beefcake for the WWF Tag Team titles. Hogan, who had spent some time away from WWF because of some intense steroid allegations, returned in February 1993 before WrestleMania IX.

With a “blessing” from Hart to go after Yokozuna, Hogan got in the ring and basically won a Money in the Bank Ladder match cash-in match without a briefcase. It was short, silly and still makes no sense to this very day.
