January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580653 Sid Vicious vs Nightstalker is a great pick btw. I love the concept, that two wrestlers had no excuse to suck. No bullshit or gimmicks holding them back. They just sucked. Yep - a good pick by Jerry. Just an incredibly bad match.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580655 I gotta wonder who had more pro wrestling training between Raja Lion and all four of these Midlothian guys combined Zeus/Abby is great for the forearms in the corner.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580657 I don't know if there were any matches with Naked Mideon but if so they should be moved to the top of the list. Also, doomsday cage match from Uncensored 96 for its stupidity. Hogan/Savage vs 8 guys with no real rules to the match. Of course it ends with Flair taking the fall.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580658 Naked Mideon made it to a match on PPV! The unlucky opponent was William Regal.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580660 Scott Hall vs. Roddy Piper, for whatever reason, hasn't seemed to stand the test of time as a terrible match the way that Warrior vs. Hogan II has. Hall vs. Piper might be the worse of the two. Also I think there's a Bob Backlund vs. Aldo Montoya match somewhere on YouTube (maybe DailyMotion) that goes 20+ minutes.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580663 Backlund vs Swede Hanson MSG 10/22/79 is an abysmal piece of shit of a match for what it's worth.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580665 I think anything under 5-7 minutes has to be DQ'd. WOAT has to be painfully long and torturous.
January 18, 201411 yr Author comment_5580668 How about Rude/Chono from Halloween Havoc? At the very least, it has to be in the running for worst match relative to established level of performance. Sid or Zeus being in a terrible match is hardly noteworthy. But Rude and Chono were both more than capable of having good matches. Hell, they were capable of having good matches with each other. Then Havoc happened. The torturous length is the icing on the cake.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580669 I think anything under 5-7 minutes has to be DQ'd. WOAT has to be painfully long and torturous. There is something to be said for a 4 minute match that feels like it went 20 or 25 minutes. If it feels long and torturous but isn't actually long, that says something.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580670 How long was Sting/Hawk vs Nasty Boys ar Starrcade 93? 6, 7 hours? Certainly felt it anyway. Horrid match.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580672 How long was Sting/Hawk vs Nasty Boys ar Starrcade 93? 6, 7 hours? Certainly felt it anyway. Horrid match. how does it rank compared to Sting/Booker T v. Road Warriors in a 30min long street fight? Also, if we're ranking worst as compared to expectations, then there's gonna be a bunch of Muta matches on the list
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580674 Actually I think Jay Lethal v. Eddie Edwards from PWG last year is the worst match I've ever seen. I can't think of anything more offensive to my sensibilities as a fan at least.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580675 upon further further reflection, there may be a difference between worst match and laziest match. And stuff like "don't show up our guys Chono/Muta" matches might be closer to laziest than worst YouTube yanked the videos of the guy who just uploaded ESPN AWA awhile ago, although I don't know if the Rocky Mountain Thunder videos were yanked on copyright, or objectionable content. Pretty sure Rocky Mountain Thunder is currently applying to job postings for over the road truckers right now
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580676 This thread deserves an entire page dedicated to Al Snow vs. Big Boss Man in a Kennel from Hell match, Unforgiven 1999.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580692 Should Bret vs Vince get a mention? No. Yes, it was really bad, but I disqualify it from my list just because of Vince's "WHO'S BAD NOW???!!!"
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580694 Should Bret vs Vince get a mention? This is not a bad choice at all given the hype going in.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580703 Andre vs Studd from '83 with the almost 9 minute front facelock?
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580707 Andre vs Studd from '83 with the almost 9 minute front facelock? Beat me to it. Every Andre-Studd match sucked.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580708 The Titans referencing that on their latest show made me interested. Awesome that someone just puts the facelock online.
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580709 Never saw it but this had to suck ass...Lou Albano vs Fred Blassie in a Steel Cage (9/85). Two fat, old men who could barely move. Wonder if either bladed?
January 18, 201411 yr comment_5580714 The Doomsday Cage Match from Uncensored '96. So much wrong. I don't know if it's actually the worst, but it's probably the one most audacious in it's badness.
