2. Show Goes On After Owen Hart’s Death
The WWE was left in a state of shock when Owen Hart plummeted to his death in a stunt that went horribly wrong during the 1999 edition of the Over the Edge pay-per-view. While that incident never should have been allowed to occur in the first place for the obvious reasons, that the WWE decided to continue to show up through its planned conclusion was offensive to those watching and also to employees. Cooler heads likely would have prevailed had those making the call had more time to think about it, but they were instead up against it when they chose to continue the show.

1. Chris Benoit Tribute Show
Those within the WWE were left shocked upon learning of the tragedy involving the family of Chris Benoit. With the facts of that horrific incident very much so in the air as of that Monday afternoon, the company understandably went ahead with an edition of Raw that served as a multi-hour tribute show to the life and times of Benoit. It was not until very early Tuesday morning that the public began to realize the true nature of that crime, but it was far too late for the WWE by then. Thus, the Benoit tribute show stands at the ultimate regrettable moment in the history of the company.
