1. What has been the worst piece of short term booking?

CM Punks feud with the Undertaker and the whole referee thing. Jesus that was bad.

2. What has been the most successful use of using a returning wrestler in a storyline

Tough call. If you would count it, HBK returning after a week or two out to save Triple H from the Spirit Squad and reform DX. That took off. Became a massive cash cow, and was immediatly over with the crowd.

1:Worst piece of short term booking?

The Nexus should have been fantastic but in the end it absolutely sucked.
The invasion angle
Straight Edge Society

I know you could argue they were long term booking but they moved very quickly in all cases and don't think they were thought out properly in the slightest.

2:Most successful return?
HHH's return two weeks before the Rumble really ignited the product at that time. The Rock returning during the Invasion was also a fantastic development.
Undertaker at Wrestlemania XX and his return at Judgement Day 2000 as the ABA.

1. The Anonymous GM
Let's have a off screen GM who communicates with the audience through the medium of an annoying email and a heel spokesperson of Michael Cole.
Sounds good.
Where we heading with this?
Erm... We'll just drag it out for a few months, then just ignore it and several months down the line reveal it to be Hornswoggle to really push the buttons of those pesky IWC brigade.

2. Can't honestly think Of many where past the initial fanfare etc that didn't turn out to be a damn squib and then wishing that they hadn't because it spoilt my original memory of them ala Star Wars and Phantom menace.

Bret Hart, The Rock, anytime Austin returns to bury a promising heel, the annual Undertaker return, Flair for Invasion storyline, all for me a letdown.

I'll go with one of two. HBK returning, the initial return wasn't that great as part of WWEs NWO attempt but after that he was just as good if not better than when he left, the other Jericho with the Save Us vignettes just because I thought it was very well put together (although the Internet ruined it partly).
