Saw him at the Centroplex in BR while he was in Mid-South. I remember he could run on the top rope and was pretty nimble in general.

As a kid, I thought this story was creepy and cool. And there’s not much better than a Mr. Wrestling II angry old man promo.

Nothing will ever touch The Shockmaster as the worst segment ever.

Lots of good ones already mentioned. Can I add a Heel Hacksaw Jim Duggan on Team Canada?

It was because of that damn euphoric trance as evidenced by his tantric orgasmic stare

The Shockmaster is a national treasure.

The OP is a necrophilia angle that ended with Kane, while still mounting a corpse in a casket, saying "I really screwed your brains out" and throwing a fake brain at the camera.

A bunch of the things mentioned are character gimmicks. Those are not angles. Angles have to do with a story arc. Isaac Yankem was a gimmick. Doink was a gimmick. Terry Taylor as the Red Rooster was a gimmick.

Savage being jealous of Hogan over Elizabeth was an angle. Ken Patera being bought by Adnan Al-Kaissie was an angle. Andy Kauffman as intergender wrestling champ was an angle.

The whole Dungeon of Doom thing was ridiculous then and it still is but it’s fun to revisit.

The Katie Vick thing with HHH and Tim White’s suicide attempts to me were the worst.

The Tim White thing was especially bad because it was more personal and it was about a referee. I'm not a fan of referees being involved in angles just in general. You shouldn't care about them.

I never liked the Piggy James story either. Partly because WWE was doing some anti bullying campaign at the time and partly because Mickie was one of the hottest women on the show. I'm not against bullying overall but it should have that bit of wrestling stupidity so the audience can enjoy it without feeling bad.

Road Warriors/LOD angle where they added Droz/Puke, and Hawk became a suicidal alcoholic.

Particularly Bad taste when you incorporate a shoot alcohol/drug issue into an angle. Same thing for drunk Scott Hall in the NWO. The exception to this rule is the Giant smoking cigs on the way to the ring on wcw. That ruled.
