Posted August 12, 200420 yr OK so what(IYO) is the worst match of all time? For me the worst would have to be Big bossman/Undertaker HIAC match from WM 15. Edited August 12, 200420 yr by RvD3:16
August 12, 200420 yr I thought Chris Candido Vs The Artist was awful, from slamboree i think it was. lots of missed spots and badly worked bits, then the ref and bell ringer get confused and one calls the end of hte match when the other one doesn't. tammy gets confused and starts to get into the ring as the match continues coz she's so coked up. then it finally ends, thank god
August 12, 200420 yr If you can call it a proper match I would have to go with Hulk Hogan vs Yokozuna. I like Hogan big time but I still cant believe what happened. It was the most stupid move ever and I bet Yokozuna was seriosuly annoyed at it.
August 12, 200420 yr Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant and Mankind vs Undertaker HIAC at KOTR only because they are so overated and 'loved' by marks when I just do see the entertainment factor. Hogan/Andre is dull. I think there's only 1 whole move in the match which is when Hogan slammed Andre. The rest is just punching and rest holds for around 15 minutes. The most action is when Andre is leaving on his cart and the fans of Michigan toss loads of filth onto him and Heenan. Taker/Foley is also a prime example of why Foley is not even a wrestler, and nothing but a stunt man. It's also a wonderful example of Undertaker not selling anything at all in most of the match. And finally, it's a prime example of how little some people appreciate the flow in a match as the match is just 'spot-wander around-spot-wander around-spot', etc.
August 12, 200420 yr Lesnar vs Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX and Mankind vs Undertaker in HIAC was one of the greatest matches of all time so I disagree on that one Chris. El Rey Doin' it 209 Style
August 12, 200420 yr Bradshaw and Trish Stratus VS Jackie Gadya and Christopher Nowinski from Raw sometime in 2002. This match was so amatuerish and sloppy it defied belief
August 12, 200420 yr The Raw straight after Wrestlemania XX: The Dudleys vs RVD and Booker T for about the hundredth time in a year. It went on for ages about 30 or 40 minutes and was sooooo tedious. I was sitting in the crowd trying not to fall asleep. D-von: Fetch the pillows!!!!
August 12, 200420 yr If we're talking about high profile matches, then the War Games main event of Fall Brawl 1998 was abysmal
August 12, 200420 yr Hogan/Andre is dull. I think there's only 1 whole move in the match which is when Hogan slammed Andre. The rest is just punching and rest holds for around 15 minutes. The most action is when Andre is leaving on his cart and the fans of Michigan toss loads of filth onto him and Heenan. This is a typical example of todays mark not understand how pro wrestling works. No offence bro, but you seriously dont seem to understand. The match wasnt supposed to be a technical masterpiece, it was a match of brute strength, nothing more. And look how into it the people were, all 93,173 of them! The reason being, is that they worked the audience to PERFECTION, which is a lost art and much more important than people doing moonsaults and flipping around the ring like acrobats. Look at todays matches, do you ever seen 93,000 people packing into a building to see Chris Benoit, HBK, Paul London, Rey Mysterio or Kurt Angle put on a match?! LOL No way, and those matches are much more energetic, but the plain and simple fact here again is, they know how to wrestle, but they cant WORK as well as Hogan and Andre could. Again, no offence, as loads of people bitch about Hogan vs Andre and alot of the old classics, and I dont think its right.
August 12, 200420 yr Lesnar vs Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX I agree! I think when the Honky Tonk Man lost his Int. title to the Ultimate Manic in less than 3 minutes was bad too.
August 12, 200420 yr Let me just add: Kronik vs Kane & Undertaker (Unforgiven 2001) Big Show vs Big Bossman (Armageddon '99)
August 12, 200420 yr Taker/Foley is also a prime example of why Foley is not even a wrestler, and nothing but a stunt man. o dear :roll ..Emmm not to insult your intelligance but you really don't know much about wrestling if you think Foley is simply a stuntman??? think i'm rong?? take a poll..im pretty confident I'll win!! lol :lol
August 12, 200420 yr sorry about the other post exactly the same i was trying to eidt it because i accedintally put a spoiler in it and i ended up with 2 of the exact same threads
August 12, 200420 yr Mankind vs Undertaker in HIAC was one of the greatest matches of all time so I disagree on that one Chris. Why don't you try to explain what was so great about the match. Was it the excitement of seeing the power struggle move from Undertaker to Foley, then back to Undertaker (didn't happen..it was a prolonged Squash match). Was is the fast paced action of watching Foley lay immobile after being thrown off the Cage for 10 minutes? This is a typical example of todays mark not understand how pro wrestling works. No offence bro, but you seriously dont seem to understand. The match wasnt supposed to be a technical masterpiece, it was a match of brute strength, nothing more. And look how into it the people were, all 93,173 of them! LOL! Bro! What's not to understand. It was a piece of boring shit. Test of strength? How about Ultimate Warrior versus Hulk Hogan or Ultimate Warrior versus Randy Savage from the same time frame. Both of those were at LEAST more entertaining then seeing a Andre slap a sleeper onto Hogan for 5 minutes ...YET AGAIN. Look at todays matches, do you ever seen 93,000 people packing into a building to see Chris Benoit, HBK, Paul London, Rey Mysterio or Kurt Angle put on a match?! 93,000+ is a bullshit figure by the way. It's hugely exagerrated. None of the arena's where recent PPV's are held can hold that many. How many people were at Wrestlemania X7? XIX?
August 12, 200420 yr as big a Kronik fan as I am, that match with the brothers of destruction was one of the worst matches ive ever seen in my life.
August 12, 200420 yr 93,000+ is a bullshit figure by the way. It's hugely exagerrated. None of the arena's where recent PPV's are held can hold that many. How many people were at Wrestlemania X7? XIX? so you wanna talk about the WM 3 attendance do you? for anyone who doesn't want to believe that the attendance at WM3 was 93,173 all it takes is answering these 2 questions... Question 1: what is the silverdome's seating capacity for wrestling? A: it is 90,000+, which is a fact you can go look up since smarks claim the attendance was 78,000 that would mean there would have to be 12,000 empty seats during WM 3, so... Question 2: do you see 12,000 empty seats when you watch WM 3? A: no you don't so there...if you have a simple grasp of basic mathematics and relatively good eyesight you can figure out it was 93,173 thank you i'll be here all week
August 13, 200420 yr Lesnar vs. Goldberg was booooooring. I was there live and we we're so bored we just started chanting anything and everything all out of boredom. And Chris about Hell in a Cell between Foley and Taker.... that match was meant to be brutal. Sure it was a definite spotfest, but it did bring in the element of surprise. And since when is a HIAC match supposed to be fast-paced?? Saying Foley is not a wrestler and is a stuntman is just ignorance in just looking at one match. Plain and simple HIAC matches= spotfest and not a wrestling match and don't expect actual wrestling in a HIAC match cuz it won't happen.

None of the arena's where recent PPV's are held can hold that many. How many people were at Wrestlemania X7? XIX? If its such "boring shit", then why were 93,173 PEOPLE on the edge of their God damned seats, going totally mental and blowing the roof off of the Silverdome? Yes, it wasnt a technical masterpiece as I said, and no, it wasnt physically as impressive as some of the matches you see these days, but you tell me another match that it held in such high regard, you tell me another match which is more talked about, you tell me another match that drew 93,173 people, you tell me another match that had that much emmtion in it?! You may have thought it was boring, because I would imagine you think that WORKING is highspot after highspot with ZERO crowd interaction. Dude, there is a reason fans gave a crap about guys like Hulk and Andre and enjoyed their matches alot more than they give a crap about people today and their matches, its because Hulk & Andre knew how to WORK! Something you obviously know nothing at all about. And you say none of the arenas today can hold them?! What are you on about?! The Silverdome is still standing bro, why not put on Benoit vs Angle and see how many people 'pack' in there! LOL Lastly, Andre was highly immobile at this stage and was recovering from major back surgery he had over here in England. Its a tribute to the man that the match was as good as it was. Plus, it was their styles to work that kind of match, what, do you expect Andre to come off the top with a whisper in the wind or something?! :lol Edited August 13, 200420 yr by The Beltster
OK so what(IYO) is the worst match of all time?
For me the worst would have to be Big bossman/Undertaker HIAC match from WM 15.
