It shouldn’t have been though. Had it been 5 minutes of King beating up Cole and winning it would have been fine. I remember reading poewerslam magazine before Wrestlemania 27 and they said Cole vs King should be fun but instead of a booking a comedy squash they gave us the crap they did.
Jeff Hardy vs Sting at Victory Road 2011. This goes beyond bad wrestling, this was a total embarrassment to the industry. A dangerous drug addict prioritizing his own thrill over the safety of his coworkers
Jeff Hardy vs Sting at Victory Road 2011 was bad beyond wrestling. The match was terrible, and I felt bad for everyone involved. It was truly something we were never supposed to see.
My least favorite match was Kofi Kingston vs. Brock Lesnar on the first episode of smack down on fox. Throughout the night I kept checking the time. By the time I knew what was about to happen I was so disheartened. Wwe had the chance to make kofi look like a legit future challenger. Instead they bury him for Tito Ortiz, who got the same treatment in Saudi Arabia.
Of all the matches mentioned I definitely agree with the figerpoke of doom as the worst. Unlike the others this helped kill a company and brought down the most over stable in wrestling history
Heroes of Wrestling: Jake "the Snake" Roberts (plus Yokozuna) vs. Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart (plus King Kong Bundy) WrestleMania 20: Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg WrestleMania 27: Michael Cole vs. Jerry "the King" Lawler Victory Road 2011 Jeff Hardy vs. Sting ECW House Show 11/23/96 D-Von Dudley & Eric "Mass Transit" Kulas vs. the Gangstas WCW Nitro - 1/4/99 Hollywood Hogan vs. Kevin Nash (the "Fingerpoke of Doom") ...just a few that come immediately to mind. There are more, but these are memorably fecal.
"Rosie O'Donnell" (Kelly Adkins) vs. "The Donald" (Ace "Nom" Steel) on Raw. The absolute miserable peak of WWE's "audience of one" mentality. Thank God that Vince is gone.
3 WCW matches plus the Fingerpoke of Doom are arguably worse than any of the WWE matches mentioned - Hogan vs Warrior, that triple stacked ring cage match where Hogan and Savage beat 20 guys including one they almost accidentally named after the Holocaust. And a personal "favorite" of mine - the Bunkhouse Brawl. A battle royal with a steel cage around the ring, so in order to be eliminated wrestlers had to go fight each other on the top rope for no apparent reason. About 15 times over the course of the match. And let's throw in the Hogan vs Sting Starrcade main event while we're at it.
15:40 They followed Taker vs Michaels I. The crowd was probably spent. Triple H went on record saying he and Orton argued they did not want to go on last, did not want to follow Taker/Michaels, but had to because it was for the title.
The Brock Lesnar v Roman Reigns match was made even worse because the very next night on RAW, Reigns came out and basically complained that Lesnar had resigned with the company, saying he thought he was going to be rid of him Backstage powers had changed the finish of the match He was being given another title shot at Crown Jewel Yes, a wrestler who had just lost completely clean in the main event of Mania complained that he was being given ANOTHER title shot for absolutely no reason. Those two nights completely destroyed Roman Reigns until the tribal chief.
Sting Vs Abyss Last Rites...the crowd was chanting "fire Russo". I get what they were trying to do and I liked the angle, and the idea works on paper as it is basically a casket match but the execution was bad.
Undertaker vs Big Boss Man hell in the cell Wrestlemania15.This was the first (and until HITC 2019) worse cage match of all time.Everything about the match was bad from the pacing,excitement,lack of violence or bloodshed.Hell WMXV itself wasn't good especially with the tagline "The raging climax"if someone were to watch WMXV today and heard that.I wouldn't be surprised if they thought the event was presented by pornhub.The worse part of the match is the ending where the undertaker LITERALLY hanged BBM by his neck.A bad match plus simulated attempted murder equals all kinds of awful and one of the rare bad undertaker matches.
My worst wrestling match by far has to be any Punjabi Prison Match and thank God Vince is gone from WWE to where we don't have to suffer those matches anymore 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Honourable mention ..... Kaitlyn v Maxine. NXT, 19 Oct 2010. Nobody ever remembers this match but it was so bad that Michael Cole publicly disses it on commentary while the match is taking place. If youve never seen it then you can't imagine just how bad it is.
- Everything to do with Raw Underground. - Every cinematic "match" ever. None were actually wrestling matches. The absolute worst: Viking Raiders vs Street Profits at Backlash 2020 - El Torito vs the Slater Gator (Hornswoggle as a mascot) on an October 2014 Raw - Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler (WM 27) - Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville (WM 38) And that's just scratching the surface.
@@sammyramirez6869 I said something about it. Not only was it embarrassing, but the big finale with the mouse trap failed. Worse, Knoxville was put on the same plateau as Zayn and was still trying to make hay of the match as recently as this May, more than two years after it took place.
9:36 Bruh. You could had picked anything else. Sting hardy 2011 Warrior hogan 2 Hornswoggle vs soaring eagle But no, belittle the grudge match of their at least righr now, last singles encounter
I have always thought that the fiend should’ve targeted people that beat him as Bray Wyatt. They started off with Finn beat in under five minutes perfect. Then I thought he should’ve gone after Stroman in hell in a call it would’ve made so much more sense. Then he could’ve gone after the undertaker survivor series and John Cena at the Royal rumble Randy Orton at wrestlemania. Originally I did have him winning that Royal rumble and then facing Randy Orton for the WWE championship after Randy be Kofi for the title but the fiend doesn’t need the title he never should’ve had it.
Those cinematic "matches" were poop. They were obviously marketed well as people will defend them with their lives as good matches. WWE went full corny and so did the fans.
12:30 i highly doubt that knowing something as SOARING EAGLE VS SWOGGLE exist yet oh "cinematic is what killed my love for wrestlig" Bruh. Have you seen cole lawler, have you seen yokozuna mabel Have you seen kennel from hell Have you seen the 2015 royal rumble
For me the worst match I’ve ever seen has to be punk vs the rock the booking was terrible it made no sense to book punk to lose to the rock and it killed punks momentum
That Tree/Box vs Robot Ninja match or whatever the hell they are supposed to be, that partsfunknown did on their worst match series is pretty dang hideous .... if it wasn't for how sadly hilarious it was, youd be hard pressed to find one redeeming quality, as well as any reason a match like that lasts more than 80 seconds, if it "must" exist 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My choices for worst ever match would be: 3rd AEW Stadium Stampede from 2020 - a microcosm of everything wrong with modern wrestling 2nd The Kendo Nagasaki hypnosis match - which almost single-handedly killed British wrestling 1st The doomsday cage match from WCW Uncensored ‘96 -
3rd for what. Tryinc to do something new at the time for us stuck at home with a virus going wild, oh wait wait a sec, is it because of the whole dives crap and what not. What you dont care of the wrestlers safety? Look at fing kairi 2 weeks ago in raw vs the pure fusion collective. They went to catch her, but moved. She hot the table, and her eye began bleeding to the point her pupip was red, yet you want to diss any match of this spots because ⬆️👀 mean your a dummy.
The most disappointing match ever was Lesnar vs Goldberg at WrestleMania XX. The worse in-ring performance ever was Undertaker vs Goldberg in Saudi Arabia.
Jerry Lawler Vs Michael Cole. Completely pointless waste of everyone's time..
It shouldn’t have been though. Had it been 5 minutes of King beating up Cole and winning it would have been fine. I remember reading poewerslam magazine before Wrestlemania 27 and they said Cole vs King should be fun but instead of a booking a comedy squash they gave us the crap they did.
We don't talk enough about just how unbelievably terrible the Vince vs Pat McAfee match was. Excellent pick
Jeff Hardy vs Sting at Victory Road 2011. This goes beyond bad wrestling, this was a total embarrassment to the industry. A dangerous drug addict prioritizing his own thrill over the safety of his coworkers
Why WWE does wellness tests. I don't mind they do it after seeing that
FACTS.
For me it's Undertaker versus Giant Gonzalez WrestleMania 9
The Vince WM 38 match is like the result of leaving Grandpa in the booze room unattended 😂😂
Hogan vs Warrior 2 in WCW.
Jeff Hardy vs Sting at Victory Road 2011 was bad beyond wrestling. The match was terrible, and I felt bad for everyone involved. It was truly something we were never supposed to see.
Definitely up (down?) there!
I love how bad Kennel From Hell was. Not many people can say they witnessed wrestling history in person but I was there and it was worse than you saw.
My least favorite match was Kofi Kingston vs. Brock Lesnar on the first episode of smack down on fox. Throughout the night I kept checking the time. By the time I knew what was about to happen I was so disheartened. Wwe had the chance to make kofi look like a legit future challenger. Instead they bury him for Tito Ortiz, who got the same treatment in Saudi Arabia.
Tito? I thought it was Cain? But either way your point stands, made even funnier by naming the wrong UFC guy.
@@GLJosh no your correct. It was Cain valesquez
@@BigMike_HD Easy to make that mistake Tito came out on TNA to crickets as well.
@@GLJoshhas someone got him off that damn stage
I clicked on this video largely to see if Brock vs kofi was on here. I agree
Of all the matches mentioned I definitely agree with the figerpoke of doom as the worst. Unlike the others this helped kill a company and brought down the most over stable in wrestling history
Heroes of Wrestling:
Jake "the Snake" Roberts (plus Yokozuna) vs. Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart (plus King Kong Bundy)
WrestleMania 20:
Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg
WrestleMania 27:
Michael Cole vs. Jerry "the King" Lawler
Victory Road 2011
Jeff Hardy vs. Sting
ECW House Show 11/23/96
D-Von Dudley & Eric "Mass Transit" Kulas vs. the Gangstas
WCW Nitro - 1/4/99
Hollywood Hogan vs. Kevin Nash (the "Fingerpoke of Doom")
...just a few that come immediately to mind. There are more, but these are memorably fecal.
Vince vs McAfee was absolute bogus. We're supposed to believe that a near 70 year old guy can easily beat the shit out of a guy in his mid 30s?
The stunner on Vince at WM38 is pure GOLD 😂😂
The finger poke of doom was, by far, THE BEST bump Kevin Nash EVER did!!!!!
Hogan vs warrior wcw
Zombie lumberjack match, so Miz can go do Dancing with the Stars.
KOTR 2000: Gerald Briscoe vs Pat Patterson- Hardore Evening Gown match. Nuff said
Fact
Bloody hell, I forgot about that but that was terrible.
"Rosie O'Donnell" (Kelly Adkins) vs. "The Donald" (Ace "Nom" Steel) on Raw. The absolute miserable peak of WWE's "audience of one" mentality. Thank God that Vince is gone.
Hahaha 😆 "Nom" hilarious 😂
vince vs mcaffee was truly the first clue to me no one ever tells vince,"no."
obviously not one person in his inner circle said, "this is a bad idea."
3 WCW matches plus the Fingerpoke of Doom are arguably worse than any of the WWE matches mentioned - Hogan vs Warrior, that triple stacked ring cage match where Hogan and Savage beat 20 guys including one they almost accidentally named after the Holocaust. And a personal "favorite" of mine - the Bunkhouse Brawl.

About 15 times over the course of the match. And let's throw in the Hogan vs Sting Starrcade main event while we're at it.
Adam out here saying what was on everyone's mind. If only a certain 80 year old former promoter shared such logic 😅
15:40 They followed Taker vs Michaels I. The crowd was probably spent. Triple H went on record saying he and Orton argued they did not want to go on last, did not want to follow Taker/Michaels, but had to because it was for the title.
The greatest wrestling ever was from 1983 - 1993 ❤ !
Goldberg vs Taker would be the one for me
Anyone remember Miz getting eaten by zombies? Yeah, thats another one for the list.
It was either to promote a game or movie. Nonetheless, terrible for a fan lol.
Really loving these new chatty faces style vids, cheers guys!
The Brock Lesnar v Roman Reigns match was made even worse because the very next night on RAW, Reigns came out and basically complained that
Lesnar had resigned with the company, saying he thought he was going to be rid of him
Backstage powers had changed the finish of the match
He was being given another title shot at Crown Jewel
Yes, a wrestler who had just lost completely clean in the main event of Mania complained that he was being given ANOTHER title shot for absolutely no reason.
Those two nights completely destroyed Roman Reigns until the tribal chief.
David Flair Vs Eric Bischoff in 1999 WCW , this is when we saw where all the talent went in the family
I relate more to this kind of wrestling discussion. Do more like this.
You can't say Ciampa-Gargano was bad and, in the same breath, defend the Firefly Fun House segment. No.
The Finger Poke of Doom is UNSTOPPABLE!!! I heard that Hogan's index finger once won The World Arm Wrestling Championship!!!
Sting Vs Abyss Last Rites...the crowd was chanting "fire Russo".
I get what they were trying to do and I liked the angle, and the idea works on paper as it is basically a casket match but the execution was bad.
Undertaker vs Big Boss Man hell in the cell Wrestlemania15.This was the first (and until HITC 2019) worse cage match of all time.Everything about the match was bad from the pacing,excitement,lack of violence or bloodshed.Hell WMXV itself wasn't good especially with the tagline "The raging climax"if someone were to watch WMXV today and heard that.I wouldn't be surprised if they thought the event was presented by pornhub.The worse part of the match is the ending where the undertaker LITERALLY hanged BBM by his neck.A bad match plus simulated attempted murder equals all kinds of awful and one of the rare bad undertaker matches.
@@PoeticPoker262 I'm sorry you had to waste your time watching that match
My worst wrestling match by far has to be any Punjabi Prison Match and thank God Vince is gone from WWE to where we don't have to suffer those matches anymore 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Isnt he the reason for the other great matches though?
Daniel Bryan joining Team WWE against The Nexus could've been interesting if they had him cost Cena the match and rejoined The Nexus
Honourable mention .....
Kaitlyn v Maxine. NXT, 19 Oct 2010. Nobody ever remembers this match but it was so bad that Michael Cole publicly disses it on commentary while the match is taking place. If youve never seen it then you can't imagine just how bad it is.
The entire Heroes of Wrestling PPV..lol
Which Triple H match will Sidgwick pick this time🤔
- Everything to do with Raw Underground.
- Every cinematic "match" ever. None were actually wrestling matches. The absolute worst: Viking Raiders vs Street Profits at Backlash 2020
- El Torito vs the Slater Gator (Hornswoggle as a mascot) on an October 2014 Raw
- Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler (WM 27)
- Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville (WM 38)
And that's just scratching the surface.
Nobody says anything about Sami Zayn vs Knoxville alot of people liked it alot
@@sammyramirez6869 I said something about it. Not only was it embarrassing, but the big finale with the mouse trap failed. Worse, Knoxville was put on the same plateau as Zayn and was still trying to make hay of the match as recently as this May, more than two years after it took place.
9:36
Bruh. You could had picked anything else. Sting hardy 2011
Warrior hogan 2
Hornswoggle vs soaring eagle
But no, belittle the grudge match of their at least righr now, last singles encounter
Am I the only one who didn't think One Final Beat was that bad? There are way worse things WWE has put out.
I have always thought that the fiend should’ve targeted people that beat him as Bray Wyatt.
They started off with Finn beat in under five minutes perfect.
Then I thought he should’ve gone after Stroman in hell in a call it would’ve made so much more sense.
Then he could’ve gone after the undertaker survivor series and John Cena at the Royal rumble Randy Orton at wrestlemania.
Originally I did have him winning that Royal rumble and then facing Randy Orton for the WWE championship after Randy be Kofi for the title but the fiend doesn’t need the title he never should’ve had it.
The fight pit between Riddle and Rollins i think it was, or Ronda Rousey vs Bazler at WrestleMania
Shocked Bret vs Vince didn't make it. I don't think the goal of the match should've been for me to feel sympathy for VINCE MCMAHON!
Pat Patterson vs Gerald brisco in an evening gown match is by far the worst match ever in my opinion
Summerslam 2023 Shayna Bayzler vs Ronda Rousey that one sucked.
Wrestlemania 2 Rowdy Piper vs Mr. T in a boxing match.
nobody mentioning Undertaker vs Goldberg in Saudi Arabia? Or any of the blood money matches
Those cinematic "matches" were poop. They were obviously marketed well as people will defend them with their lives as good matches. WWE went full corny and so did the fans.
I love the it’s always sunny shirt
The worst wrestling match of all time to me was Rebel in tna and also Sharmell vs the survivor chick also in TNA
Bonus points for wearing a Melvins shirt. Give that lad a pay rise.
12:30 i highly doubt that knowing something as SOARING EAGLE VS SWOGGLE exist yet oh "cinematic is what killed my love for wrestlig"
Bruh. Have you seen cole lawler, have you seen yokozuna mabel
Have you seen kennel from hell
Have you seen the 2015 royal rumble
Royal Rumble 2015, No Questions Asked!☹😠
Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler
I was at Wrestlemania 33 and 34…Im glad Roman recovered from those two stinkers..lol
That 1 Raw match of character gimmicks of Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell 2006/07. Idk
For me the worst match I’ve ever seen has to be punk vs the rock the booking was terrible it made no sense to book punk to lose to the rock and it killed punks momentum
How did Cole v Lawler at mania not get picked????????
Yet gargano ciampa did
I watched the full thing. And i dont feel stupid. Idk what simon was thinking
Moolah match mania 2.
opponent had lower leg and foot outside the lower rope. No mention of it. counted 3 gave Moolah the win.
Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX
All of the punjabi prison matches have no redeeming qualities about them.
I still remember the first one when Khali couldn't compete, and they had to sub another wrestler into someone else "special gimmick" match.
the Finger Poke of Doom. the beginning of the end of WCW, and when i knew the NWO storyline was never going to end
Undertaker v Sid
Roman v brock wm 38
Wild indeed
Bushwackers vs sheik and volkoff heroes of wrestling! If just wwe stooges vs posse on raw
That Tree/Box vs Robot Ninja match or whatever the hell they are supposed to be, that partsfunknown did on their worst match series is pretty dang hideous .... if it wasn't for how sadly hilarious it was, youd be hard pressed to find one redeeming quality, as well as any reason a match like that lasts more than 80 seconds, if it "must" exist 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The hell you talking about😂😂😂
I thought this was going to be a narration video...boring. These dude already talk enough 🙄
Quit starting these kinds of videos with Adam Wilbourn!!!!
Firefly funhouse and ricochet Vs osprey at the super jrs are the best examples of my least Favourite types of wrestling
Worst match ever? Easy. Bret v Vince at Wrestlemania 26. You're welcome to disagree with me if you want to be wrong 😉
Nah, Uncle Elmer vs Adrian Adonis at WM II
My choices for worst ever match would be:
3rd AEW Stadium Stampede from 2020 - a microcosm of everything wrong with modern wrestling
2nd The Kendo Nagasaki hypnosis match - which almost single-handedly killed British wrestling
1st The doomsday cage match from WCW Uncensored ‘96 -
3rd for what. Tryinc to do something new at the time for us stuck at home with a virus going wild, oh wait wait a sec, is it because of the whole dives crap and what not.

AEW has given us at least 10 contenders for the worst matches ever just in 2024 alone.
You can't even name them lmao.
The wrestling in aew in 2019 was some of fakest botch filled crap I’d ever seen wilbon.
And this is the fakest comment I've ever seen
No TNA Aew or WCW yeah this channel hates WWE
😂
Hangman vs Swerve at All Out.
Video and comments are wrong, nothing is worse than Flair's final match.
The most disappointing match ever was Lesnar vs Goldberg at WrestleMania XX. The worse in-ring performance ever was Undertaker vs Goldberg in Saudi Arabia.
