5 biggest screw-ups of WWE in 2014

Running a wrestling promotion is never easy. It requires a lot of effort, guts and determination to have a successful run.Vince McMahon is someone who has always had all that ammunition in his pocket. He has done a great job in pushing forward his empire all through these years, and 2014 was supposed to be a milestone for the genius with the launch of WWE Network.Those dreams however came crashing down thanks to some forgettable booking by the creative team. The writers failed to give a credible product for the fans to buy, and all the hype regarding the Network went in vain.The WWE is at a crossroads at this moment and the booking is to blame for that. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the decisions that messed up the year for the company.

#5 Expecting a lot from Batista

One of the biggest paradoxes about the WWE Universe is the excitement about part timers. The fans go wild when they hear that some old star is returning, but that excitement turns into hatred when they see the same old star getting more priority than the regulars.

This was the situation with Batista. The news of his return was a big hit with the WWE fans but when the Animal made it into the ring, the cheers turned into jeers.

The WWE Universe didn’t want Batista to end up winning the Royal Rumble but that’s what WWE did. From there on, the Animal started getting a lot of heat wherever he went.

There were a lot of missed opportunities while booking Batista, and WWE would have to be extra careful the next time he comes in.
