Orton/Trips/McMahons was great and showed that WWE can do edgy within the confines of PG. Was it over the top? Of course but I still enjoyed the hell out of it as a feud. Every week they were doing more crazy shit. Was great. I'm talking purely in terms of storyline here. Obviously the matches left a lot to be desired. I definitely have it ranked as one of the top storylines of the PG era if I' being honest. We don't really see anything like that anymore and Orton's character portrayal was top notch all the way. One of my favourite heel characters ever.

Couldn't get into it tbh.

Too much Loony Tune shit for a supposed heated blood feud. And the podgy, 40 year old non wrestler Shane McMahon taking out all of Legacy with his air punches of doom killed all the interest I had following Orton punting Vince angle the week before.

RAPE?

Orton was the only reason my interest peaked for it. Only b/c it was so over the top. WrestleMania was TRASH though.

EDIT ~ Touche, Kenny.

Shane's air punches are

Great PG Era programs for me:

Ric Flair's retirement story arc
HBK/Jericho
HBK/Taker
Cena/Batista
Punk/Hardy
HHH/Hardy
Orton/McMahons/HHH
Punk Pre-MITB
HHH/Taker
Taker's entire Mania 25 to 28 story arc as a whole
The Nexus (before they fucked it up)
Brock Lesnar (before he lost to )
JBL/HBK

I'm probably alone on that last one but I loved it with the whole money thing and HBK having to work for JBL lol.

Orton losing that match was trash.

HHH V Taker from the year peaked too early imo.

The promo where HHH agreed to face him was great. Then the next few weeks the three of them (HHH/HBK/Taker) really had nothing new to say and were just going in circles.

Besides from a few great promos the Jericho/Punk angle just evolved into something completely out of left field and unnaturally so.
They should of just stayed with the whole "who's the best int he world"gig instead of the whole CM Drunk deal.

The Rock/Cena feud was a complete joke tbh.

Brocks return was really good, but then Cena happened.

Agreed.

I'm the only guy who didn't think losing to Cena hurt Brock. I wanted Brock to win, but as I've stated about 100 times over...blame Rocky. Brock beat Triple H in the Summer. It evened out for me. Especially when Brock lost to the guy I like and beat the guy I dislike.

JBL vs Shawn was such a bad program. I hated it.

When did WWE go PG? I thought Flair/HBK was before that. If not, then Flair's retirement angle DEFINITELY belongs.

I completely forgot about Shane's phantom punches. Someone PLEASE link a vid to that.

Another decent mention IMO for best PG era storylines was Taker/Kane 2010 up until Bearer turned on Taker. Loved everything with Kanes promosabout finding out who did it to Taker coming back to Kane always getting the better of Taker and Taker being weakened until Bearer came back. Good shit IMO.

I hated that Brock lost to Cena.
