What are some matches where you feel the wrong person won?
1) Edge vs Cena Royal Rumble 2006.
Since 2002, WWE had been working hard to try to make Edge a star. When he finally won the title, it seemed as if they had finally did just that. TV ratings increased and fans were excited. But just 3 weeks after winning the title, Edge lost clean to Cena at Royal Rumble.
Now, losing to Cena was not a problem; the problem was that it was far too soon. Not only should Edge's 1st title reign been longer than 3 weeks, the match with Cena should had been stalled until Wrestlemania.
It was the perfect "face chasing the heel champion" story that Wrestlemania is made for.
2) Wrestlemania X9: Booker T vs HHH
Booker T, whom few expected to fight for the title at Wrestlemania, was a fresh face in a dull main-event scene in 2003. Goldberg didn't arrive yet; HBK vs HHH had been done too many times; and HHH-Steiner didn't fare well in the prior 2 PPVs.
Booker T was essentially a last-resort, though I can't understand why. He had the crowd support and was talented on the mic and in the ring. Had he won, then he would had become a star. It's a shame that he had to wait until 2006 to get his time.
After losing (In a match with a terrible finish), he was tossed into the IC title hunt while HHH started a weak feud with Kevin Nash.
