11. 3 Most Abysmal Moments Of The Year/Saddest Promotional Tactics Of The Year
1. Unlimited Wrestling in Germany booking and crowning someone named in Speaking Out as their champion only a few months after the pandemic allowed wrestling bookings like this to be possible again.
2. WWE Releasing Mass Amounts Of Staff And Talent While Turning Record Profits This Year
3. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair throwing a championship on the floor in a shoot after WWE forced them to "switch" titles to they could match the colours of the brand they are now working for. Solifing what was known behind closed doors for a while: Complete disregard for talent, championships, storylines and audience. All in one. Now fully embodied in one segment on live tv. Why should we care?
Opinions are my own.
