* Explain why it's a Dethroning Moment Of Suck.

* No ASSCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.

 

== WWE ==

*** Gravityman: Christian did win the title back a little while later, but unfortunately they apparently decided that Christian isn't allowed to look competent or anything. To put the belt on him, they put them in a match were if Orton gets disqualified, Christian gets the belt. The match then ends with... Orton randomly kicking Christian in the junk, a move so bizarrely out of character that it comes off as nothing but incredibly forced.

* Jables6: [[John Cena]] and [[Alberto Del Rio]] failed to stop CM Punk from escaping MITB with the championship. In repsonse, Vince holds a tournament of eight superstars, and none of them is Cena. [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] and [[The Miz]] enter the finals, but their match is postponed by Vince, who wanted to fire Cena in front of the entire WWE universe. Cue HHH. He walks in, not only to stop Vince from firing Cena, but to fire Vince as well, with HHH taking his place. Fast forward one week. Mysterio beats the Miz to obtain not only the first post-McMahon championship, but his first world championship. Now all that's left is to see how long it will be before Del Rio cashes in his MITB. Then, [[Triple H]] pulls what many sports analysts call a 'dick move' and forces Mysterio to defend his title against none other than John Cena in the same night. in less than two hours, Mysterio lost his championship, and not even [[CM Punk]] walking out with the real belt around his waist his old indy theme, Cult Of Personality, blaring through the speakers could end the fan rage felt that night.

* Goldeneye101: I'd say the [[CM Punk]] / Cena Feud after Money In the Bank 2011. Not only did the aforementioned tournament happened, but at the actual match, [[Kevin Nash]] attacks Punk after he wins and [[Alberto Del Rio]] wins the title by cashing in the Money in the Bank. Cena gets pissy because him and Punk work their asses off to end in THAT. There then is a No. 1 contender matchup, where Nash interferes again by distracting Punk. Cena, completely contradicting his actions last week, capitalizes on it to win.

* clownishchimp: The whole [[Triple H]] as the COO angle. Before that the angle was about [[CM Punk]] shooting on [[Vince McMahon]] and WWE, taking shots at their behind the scenes activities and their attempt at a PG public image. As a result Vince suspended him and decided to give someone else a shot at the title until [[John Cena]] confronted him and demanded that Punk get his shot or he would walk out. Vince agrees but says if [[You Have Failed Me...|Cena fails to beat Punk, he is fired]]. So Punk gets his shot, and despite Vince's attempts at another [[Montreal Screwjob]], Punk wins and escapes with the title. At this point WWE is getting a ton of praise over the angle and people can't wait to see what happens next. The following night they hold a tournament to crown a new WWE Champion, while Cena is about to be fired by Vince, making people wonder if Vince would actually do it or not. Then the angle goes downhill when [[Triple H]] shows up completely out of the blue and announces that the Board of Directors has relieved Vince of his duties (even though [[Vince McMahon]] is the majority owner of the company) and that he is the new COO. There's also the fact that this is [[Vince McMahon]] the man whose been running WWE since the 80's and brought wrestling to the mainstream and boom periods such as the [[Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling|Rock N Wrestling]] and {{Attitude Era [[Attitude Eras]]}}, and who has played the [[Big Bad]] of WWE programming since the [[Montreal Screwjob]], and yet he's just kicked out of his own company out of nowhere and dropped and forgotten about like a bad date, just to stop him from firing Cena. It gets worse when Cena simply gets the title back the next week and Punk shows up right after he wins it. This has lead to an extremely confusing angle in which HHH and Punk are feuding, yet neither wants to do a [[Face Heel Turn]], making it hard for the fans to figure out who to root for. Then at Summerslam Punk beats Cena to be undisputed WWE champion, but is then attacked by [[Kevin Nash]] so that [[Alberto Del Rio]], a heel whom WWE had pushed to the moon despite his lack of overness with the fans, can become the new champion. So Cena is now busy feuding with Del Rio for the title, while the angle turns into a three-way feud between Punk, HHH, and Nash(who is the one playing the heel), two of them being semi-retired from in-ring competition. There's a whole mystery over who sent the text to Nash, but he then reveals he sent it to himself, so HHH fires him. HHH and Punk finally face each other at Night of Champions, which has interference from [[The Miz]], [[Ron Killings|R-Truth]], and Nash, and HHH winds up winning the match, thus burying Punk. He then fires Miz and R-Truth and makes a Triple Threat match for HIAC between Punk, Cena (who beat Del Rio cleanly to win the title), and Del rio for the title. It ends with Del Rio winning the title despite just losing it weeks ago when Miz and R-Truth attack Punk. This incident leads to the entire roster becoming threatened by an "unsafe workplace"(yeah, they are afraid of the [[Smug Snake|MIZ]] of all people), and pretty much everyone on the roster walks out since they do not have confidence in [[Triple H]] and want him to step down. Yes, almost the entire roster pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]] because they do not support HHH, whom is being portrayed as the sympathetic face of the storyline. And there's no end in sight for this angle. To make things even [[It Got Worse|worse]], they are playing up [[Yes-Man|John Laurinitis]] as the [[The Man Behind the Man|the person, or one of the people, behind the conspiracy]], meaning that potentially the angles payoff of this whole storyline is a semi-retired [[Triple H]] fighting one of his [[Vince McMahon|father-in-law's]] former stooges for control over WWE. Alternatively it could also lead to yet another feud between [[Triple H]] and his wife [[Stephanie McMahon]] for control over their father/father-in-law's company. What would make the latter potentially worse is that it may extend to Wrestlemania 28, in which the Wrestlemania ten years earlier saw the last feud between HHH and Stephanie, which was terrible and the match that the feud was building up to, HHH vs [[Chris Jericho]], [[Epic Fail|somehow got to be the final match on the card over]] [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] vs [[Hulk Hogan|Hollywood Hulk Hogan]], one of the biggest matches of all time. And Wrestlemania 28 has Rock vs Cena as the schedule main event. [[Fridge Horror|Which means WWE could be repeating history by booking HHH and Stephanie's marriage problems over one of the biggest, most anticiopate matches of all time.]] So basically it looks like this whole thing is just to make HHH [[Creator's Pet|the center]] [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|of attention]] once again. And as big as this rant is, it still probably doesn't fully cover how bad this is, but I will leave that to anyone else who has something to say about it.

* erics: At TNA's ''Against All Odds'' '12, Jesse Sorenson accidentally takes a knee to the top of the skull, temporarily paralyzing him and almost killing him. The very next night on Raw, in order to help [[John Cena]] get over even more, Kane throws an already "injured" [[Zack Ryder]] off the stage, "paralyzing" him.

* Tropers/Das Nordlicht 91: At ''[[Wrestlemania]] XXVIII'', [[Daniel Bryan]] vs. [[Sheamus]] for the World Heavyweight Championship opened the show. You would expect a back-and-forth and hard-fought match to get the crowd going for what could be one of the best [[Wrestlemania]] events in recent memory, right? {{spoiler|1=Nope. Sheamus squashes Bryan in 18 seconds flat with one Brogue Kick to become the new WHC. I mean, wow. You've got two guys who were bumped off WM27 the year prior in a big title match, and it ends in eighteen fucking seconds. Wow.}}

* SNL95: The whole TNA World Heavyweight Title drama leading up to, during and after Bound For Glory 2011 is one massive DMOS for the company. First some background, in the lead up to Bound For Glory (read 5 months before hand) TNA started doing a "Bound For Glory Series" which was a round robin style tournament where the winner would get a TNA title shot at Bound for Glory. The series itself was a mess, nobody understood the points system, it was continued through house shows leaving many viewers hopelessly confused about the standings which would change on a whim. Points were won through the most ridiculous means and Crimson, the guy who was at the top of the series, was injured forcing TNA to give Robert Roode the series victory. Despite this fans were happy for Roode and after he wins he gets a huge buildup going into Bound For Glory making people sure he would beat [[Kurt Angle]] for the title. However Roode loses the match in a screwjob finish which was a blatant ripoff of the Summerslam 2011 ending (Angle pinned Roode while Roode was touching the ropes) and despite the fact that Kurt injured his hamstring and could barely wrestle a match. It was later revealed that [[Hulk Hogan]], who buried Roode in a shoot interview before the show, got the match result changed because he felt Roode wasn't ready to hold the title. So already Hulk blatantly screws over young talent because of his own opinion, not the opinion of the fans who were almost completely behind Roode to make his face turn the highlight of the show instead of Roode's victory. Then on the next Impact taping James Storm, Roode's tag team partner, squashes Angle for the belt despite having no buildup and there being no reason for his victory other than the fact that Hogan wanted it. The question here is: Why didn't TNA build up Storm in the first place? Fans were pissed because there was literally nothing stopping them from building up Storm over Roode. Instead TNA wasted months of storyline, screwed over a young talent before he got his chance, created a contrived author saving throw that pissed off several TNA "fans" and showed how terrible their bookers actually are. Good job TNA, good fucking job.

* [[The Notorious AMP]] It gets even worse, my [[The C Show]] friend, during the next tapings they have Roode wrestle Storm where he ends up turning heel by hitting storm with a beer bottle. Which he follows by spitting on storm and then standing on him, declaring that he felt great after having betrayed his "brother" of 4 years. Note, this would not be a bad storyline if played out over a series of months, but it was so compressed it just sucked the potential out of it.
