If you asked me what I enjoyed from 2010 I would only tell you 3 things. Bret Hart's return, Kane's title reign and Daniel Bryan's push. The rest stunk so badly it was unreal.
Now 2010 had a bad start. The company basically lost Shawn Michaels, HHH, Undertaker and Batista who were 4 of the biggest stars so that alone left a huge gap.
Maybe I'm wrong but I believe a total of 22 wrestlers debut on the main roster and the only ones still active to this present day are Alberto Del Rio, Bray Wyatt, Darren Young, Curtis Axel, Konnor, Fandango, Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil.
Only 2 of that list you could say are pretty huge and that's Del Rio and Wyatt but the rest are mid/lower card
I don't know if Konnor, Ryback, Fandango and Bray Wyatt would count considering they were repackaged years later with different gimmicks.
So all these wrestlers debut in 2010 and it was as if no one knew what to do with them and worst of all none had gimmicks and most wore trunks which made them all like clones.
First you had Nexus who were 7 generic guys who couldn't handle the one man army John Cena.
Then Swagger won the world title which was basically an epic fail because no one cared. After that Alberto Del Rio arrived who was cool at the time with his fancy cars and personal ring announcer but a while he proved to be a no draw who couldn't get over with the crowd.
Then to end the horrible year THE MIZ BECOMES CHAMPION. I'm not a Miz hater but I don't think he should've been anywhere near the title and his reign proved that. The general fans didn't take him seriously and he was one of the worst drawing champions ever.
The only person from 2010 who I would call a success story is Daniel Bryan. He was over with the crowd. had a great return at Summerslam and if his career wasn't cut short he would still be a top guy today.
I have watched from 1997 but in 2010 I almost called it a day because it was so bad. Did any of you feel the same?
