Asukas booking that year was deplorable and tbh she’s never fully recovered from it.

That subtle laugh when announcing Shane McMahon at #2 made me laugh way too hard. The more I look back at WWE from 2014 to today, the more I realize there were a LOT of dark times.
Ellsworth really was an awkward time for WWE.

1:03- That match will never make any sense...Asuka was undefeated for so long and then jobbing to Carmella whom Bayley legit defeated...Only Vince's book would do that
TLC 2018 was a strange ppv cause the first half had mixed match challenge finals but the ending was stacked with like 4 consecutive huge matches
DX vs Brother Of Destruction would’ve been great if it was 10, 15 or 20 years prior to 2018
Here's a fun fact about that Universal Championship triple threat: before Roman went down with his diagnosis, he informed WWE officials in September that he wasn't making the trip to Saudi Arabia.

The thing that gets me about Joe and Roman was that they had a good match on Raw a few months earlier. They were perfectly capable of putting on a decent show.
I was at hiac 2018 and it was quite a show but the entire crowd was so confused and the super stars literally had to tell us to leave because the show was over
Top 10 worst things in WWE 2018: 10. Mixed Match Challenge Season 2 9. Baszler's NXT Women's title reign 8. Crown Jewel's "Best in the World" Cup 7. Strowman's Money in the Bank contract 6. Raw dominated SmackDown on Survivor Series 5. The rise of Charlotte getting title opportunity after opportunity 4. Rousey dominated Raw 3. Asuka's defeated streak 2. Corbin's title as Acting GM 1. Lesnar's Universal title reign
I had forgotten just how bad some of those matches were.
Y'know, despite all the negatives, 2018 was kinda awesome for the company. For the most part Smackdown, NXT, 205 Live and the PPVs were usually a really good time around then, especially when compared to the next...3 years.
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT ELLSWORTH. New memory unlocked.

It is *amazing* how different Dean Ambrose is from MoX. Always blows my mind.
Wasn’t Ambrose vs Rollins supposed to be a TLC match? I swear I remember WWE announcing it as a TLC match then it randomly changing to a singles match.
New Japan gave us some bangers in 2018
It’s sad, but this list is making me remember all these off of matches I had forgotten blocked from my brain lol
Cedric Alexander Vs. Kalisto was by far the best reason to watch the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Honestly 2019 was meh but 2018 was a bit better. Hey any tag team getting wrecked by DX is fine by me since honestly it's DX plus Dash and Dawson probably didn't have a problem with it since they are pretty respectful guys that respect legends
"Go to hell... Von Wagner" killed me xD
What about the HHH vs Undertaker match from Super Show-Down? Also, remember Super Show-Down (the one in Australia) had some bad matches on it as well.
It would have been a good idea if randy orton vs bray Wyatt was a boiler room brawl or a street fight

i met James Ellsworth and got a high five from him. yeah that was weird.
Yeah. I'm glad that NJPW was firing on all cylinders at the time and that All Out happened. 2018 is where mid-2010's WWE optimism died.
Asuka to me always felt like a woman’s division Roman Reigns, overly pushed into the main event too quick

Personally I just like to block that DX/BOD match out of my mind completely. Michaels has stayed retired since WM26. Just never happened. I will never admit otherwise.

Honestly Charlotte didn't need that win over Asuka at all it pretty much ruined her momentum
Actually, 2018 was why I stopped watching WWE. I felt so insulted by what they were trying to force feed us that I booed out completely. Canceled my network subscription abruptly. I haven’t watched since. Vince is gone so I may give them a chance again, but I don’t do cable tv or Peacock so I’m not sure.
Charlotte going over on two people in particular I’ll never be able to forgive her or wwe for. 1. Auska at wrestlemania 34. 2. Rhea Ripley at wrestlemania 36.

And now Wrestlemania 38. Now you know you hate her match there.
The fact that Ambrose and Rollins was on this list disappoints me overall. I liked the story but the progression gets worsen and I didn't mind it until they announced their match at TLC. It's surprising that this emotional-driven match doesn't have any stipulation! Why did they think Corbin and an injured Strowman would be a good idea?! If I were them, I'd put the former having a stipulation rather than the latter.
saw james ellsworth at wrestlecade.
"... and then Brock Lesnar arrived" sure seems to be the introduction t a lot of recent WWE disappointments, huh?
Universal Champion Roman Reigns Intercontinental Champion Solo Sikoa SD Tag Team Champion Jimmy & Jey Uso SD Women's Champion Naomi Cruiserweight Champion Sean Maluta
Why’s Ellsworth in the thumbnail when he was the lifeblood of WWE at the time?
5:47 several months? It had been a month.
It’s almost like Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley…..isn’t a very good wrestler.
The entire Asuka vs. Carmella feud was AWFUL! And made Asuka look like such an imbecile the whole way through.
OK let me clear up this weird idea that in a stipulation match, like hell in the cell, there can’t be ref stoppage. I know it’s scripted, and that they can make anything happen, but it would make sense if the violence that occurred inside the cage could not lead to one. yes, I know that it’s scripted, and that they can work around that to give it of more satisfying ending. But sometimes in a real fight, things do get stopped by the ref like an MMA or boxing I’m not saying that this specific instance was a good way of showing that, but down the line it would make sense for there to be stoppage because at the end of the day that’s almost more impressive if someone beat somebody so bad that even in an extreme match, they feared for their life and stopped it. That’s pretty brutal. It’s a really good way to tell a story.
Seems like everyone forgot about Cena vs Undertaker.

Clown. She can put on great matches
asuka was a sacrificial lamb just for carmella to keep the smackdown women's title warm going into summerslam when she dropped it back to charlotte leading to that angle where becky lynch attacked charlotte "turning heel" in the process. but tbh the smackdown's women's roster at that time was in bad place where asuka's booking was affected badly, they went all in on charlotte to lead the roster but that didn't work out for the best because people were getting tired of her being in main event scene all the time & a lack of credible babyfaces & heels played a role in why wwe tried to turn becky lynch heel
Asuka and Charlotte should definitely been on the list. Instead of a great new champion, we got the second WWE reign of terror.

Can we just all agree that the best thing from this time was Braun Strowman as an absolute Monster? When he screamed 'I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!' and then absolutely destroyed Roman Reigns Was beautiful for All Fans who where sick and tired of his superman push.
Tbh Braun should've just won thy HIAC match in 2018 so then after the MATCH Brock could just attack him instead of interfering in the match and causing a no winner. Lol you didn't include CM Punk in the go to hell list but Von Wagner? Lmao
Yeah I’m not sure if you even remember the TLC match between Rollins and Ambrose, it was fantastic. Reigns vs. Joe was also great outside of the finish, it wasn’t even a slow match like you’ve falsely argued
Rollins vs ambrose at tlc should've been a tlc match for the title instead of just a normal match... the fact that the entire crowd was yelling this is boring.
Hmm, seems Roman Reigns had a ton of bad matches in 2018. Well, why not go ahead and give him a nearly 3 year title run as a reward?

The Undertaker has never had a bad match in his career, the fact is that too many wrestling fans these days especially the internet and KZread ones are wrestling purists so unless a wrestler rolls around the canvas hugging his opponent for 20 minutes or takes to the sky like a fly on speed then internet wrestling fans will say it's bad and because Undertaker couldn't do either for the last few years of his career he gets unjustifiably slated
Of course your idea of the best wrestler is kenny
