AEW Exploding Ring Wire Death match is the best example. The ending should have been the best thing of the whole ppv, but instead we got sparklers and not alot else and it was ridiculed quite rightly as being an absolute disaster and a huge letdown for the fans
But the exploding ring death match is also the perfect analogy to AEW as a whole; all build up, no substance, shit pay off. Thats why they'll never be a main contender in the long run.
@William Smith I wouldn't really say that. They're already contending better than anyone else could. The problem with the exploding barbed wire match is the fact that you can't blow someone up on TV, and people legitimately wanted to see that. AEW picks bad ideas to do because they want to make the fans happy, but the hardcore fans of AEW will never be happy unless someone dies or gets injured.
@@williamsmith666 very very true. AEW is a COMPLETE MESS. as opposed to wwe being a mess.
Who in their right mind thought that having a match at an ECW event end in No Contest would be a good idea? And don't say Vince, we all know he is never in his right mind.
Whoever was clearly they broke the golden rule of ECW: never piss off ECW fans. More rabid than the rabid wolverine himself.
If we're excluding Vince then I guess nobody thought it was a good idea. He booked a no-contest in a Hell in a Cell not too long ago
Vince mchanon it was his stupid choice go ask him
@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty. They had to come up with something, because they didn’t want either Rey Mysterio or Sabu to lose. They didn’t want Rey to lose because Sabu as world champion would’ve been ridiculous, and they didn’t want Sabu to lose because they wanted to keep him strong to face Cena.
So that’s why.
I've always hated interference finishes
The only time they work is when the person interfering is the one who is feuding with the target of the attack.
I don't mind them when it's renewing of a rivalry. Randoms IDC for.
The Kane interference at Taker vs HBK hell in a cell was a classic though.
Roman reigns vs Demon king?
AEW revolution ppv ending with the sparkles?
1000% agree with that Roman vs Demon Balor match
The finish could've been good if it was one of the bloodline members cutting the rope and not a cameraman
...... Piccolo?
No bitches?
AnglevLesnar is such a great twist, everyone expected Kurt's neck to explode and it was actually Brock's. Expectations subverted lol
How about Top 10 Wrestling Matches that started terribly but turned into a Great later on.
Royal rumble 2020, drew eliminating brock was amazing, but brock's dominance dragged on a little even if it helped the story of the match
Watching wrestling as a kid is much better than Watching as an adult. Coz when you're a kid, you don't care if "matches were ruined by a the finish" or "matches where the wrong person won" you just enjoy whatever they do. Watching wrestling as an adult sucks.
Wrestling is very much an 'enjoy it as a child, then enjoy it with your children' kind of event
You can add Cody vs Roman to this list.
🤡😂
Cope
So Cody comes in, wrestles for a few months, gets injured, spends several months out, comes back, wins the rumble, then faces Roman at mania. Do you really think it's believable for Cody to somehow beat the entire bloodline and Paul heyman along with Roman then become the new champ? Really? Bet you'd have been tired of Cody already since that's some super Cena shit.
cry a river
3:46 if lesnar actually died or had his career ended from a neck injury, would Roman have been the one to break the streak? Or would the streak have forever remained unbroken?
Well Taker wanted Roman to break his streak anyway. But Vince was convinced that Brock needed to
I still don’t think that would’ve helped Roman though. They already tried shoving him down everyone’s throats as a babyface, and we know how that worked. I can almost guarantee having him beat one of the most beloved superstars of all time and end his undefeated streak would do much to endear him with fans. Maybe if they’d already had him heel at the time…but even then idk. I feel like at that time, Brock wasn’t a bad choice. Everyone else didn’t want to break the streak.
Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar Summerslam 2015. That was an awesome match to welcome an aging Undertaker and it goes to show how well Taker and Lesnar's chemistry was but that screwy finish was a bit ehhh.
First match that instantly comes to mind is Michael's vs Mankind. It was such a great brawl with a fantastic sweet chin music into a chair on Mankind whose sitting on the turnbuckle. Bona-fide five star match... then Vader ruined it.
Amazing video! You're my fave wrestling page..right to the point..no geeky jokes and no mess.
I dont know if it meets the "starting out great" criteria, but Goldbergs elimination chamber comes to mind. Crowd was hot for him destroying everyone then the air gets sucked right out when out of shape triple H pins him
Yeah perfect example, literally all the signs were pointing to the timing being right to crown him champion, But HHH just HAD TO retain his title no matter what.
Well I can think of one more
Thank You! This was my idea!
On the flip side what were matches that started horribly but had a great ending?
Hogan's last match in TNA. The great thing being he never wrestled again afterwards.😁
Brock vs Reigns at WM31
@@ibtunesoriginals2629 yeah. i was gonna comment that too.
Ripley vs Flair WM 39…. now hold on it didn’t start terrible by any means but the crowd was not invested into match at the beginning (can’t blame them there was a minimal build to the match) but when the match ended and Rhea Ripley’s hand was raised the crowd was RED HOT but before that there was point where I think both women are knocked down and the crowd was electric, as they get back up they share a look that imo read “We got them now. They’re in the palm of our hands.”
Roman Reigns vs Demon Finn Balor at Extreme Rules 2021. That rope snap when Balor was about to do the coup de grace didn't make sense but overall great match. The music and red lights sequence was also funny and memorable.
Sabu is terrifying. You just know you're gonna get messed up in a match with him.
What about Austin vs Owen at summerslam97? Great match which ended with austin famously breaking his neck.
First match that comes to my mind is Cena VS Rollins at SummerSlam 2015. I was genuinely mad at Jon Stewart because he interfered
Brock Lesnar was lucky to just get a concussion from that botched shooting star press. He could have broken his neck from it.
Lesnar vs Angle at Mania 19 is still an awesome match though it is a shame Lesnar couldn't land the shooting star and that's what the match is known for. Glad Brock made it out able to move his body.
And yeah that Smackdown match pissed me off. If Taker was going to lose the title anyways, then give him the win over the animal in cage since they were escaping in the end.
Rollins vs The Fiend hell in a cell
Totally agree.
Honorable mentions :
- Lesnar vs Rollins at Battleground 2015. Taker interfered and ruined a great match. That's the first time I didn't like Taker.
- Brock vs Romans at Summerslam 2022 (Last Man Standing Match) The match was lit but such a great match was ended in the worst way due to outside interference by Jimmy and Jey who helped Roman to win.
I looked at the jeff hardy scenario like if he got the pin right after triple h then he would become the champion but the time ran out before he could get the pin
As much as that sabu/ rey ending sucked, i hate how battered these guys become in their old age. Look at sabu. He's in terrible shape. I'm glad they weren't put at greater risk by continuing the match
Right? I remmeber attending a beneifit show for him in bellvile mi back in 2003, to pay for surgery. ton of early tna guys there
Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble 2021. Roman was handcuffed while he was down while Paul Heyman struggled to unlock it, and as the ref was counting to ten he just randomly stopped counting halfway. Botched finish indeed in an otherwise great match
The Mind Games match is the best example of a "ruined orgasm" in wrestling.
In wwe it always start well but ended in terrible
foley vader michael taker would been great match
im not a big fan of a dq finish.. I miss mankind / Foley but he's old now 😔😵
The ring collapsing on the Demon vs Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules was so bad. Especially after the Demons' resurrection.
Sabu vs Rey Mysterio was ahead of its time ...a masterpiece that didn't get the deserving ending
Bray Wyatt
ruins just about everything he touches lol. The reverse midas touch.
Bray Wyatt and completely ruining the momentum of a wrestler. Name a better duo.
Captions @3:58 "that spot made my match one of the most famous matches of Russia"
Also Reigns vs Balor at Extreme Rules 2021
Fuck Sturgis, that sounded like an awesome match between Malenko and Benoit
Lesnar/Angle is still my favorite match of all time, but when I saw it in real time I legit jumped and screamed. Thought he was dead for sure.
The finish for rey and sabu was great.
5:09 I’m sure if that had been a man we’d get the same reaction 😂
Are you Phil from WhatCulture?? 😦
What about finn balor and roman reigns in survival series when that rope cut out seen happened
am i tripping or is the sound ou of sync
What's said in the intro? Was that from a theme song
It’s from triple h’s theme my time
Roman Reigns VS Cody Rhodes was ruined because of result of the match.
Yup, the wrong person went over that night. Why? Timing that’s why, timing and momentum are everything in pro wrestling
Weird list. Some big options just missing (e.g. the Rollins vs. Wyatt Hell in a Cell match from the 2019 PPV of the same name which saw a referee stoppage, the ending to Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega's Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch that tried to sell sparklers as explosions or Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin at Summerslam 1997 where Owen broke Austin's neck) while there are matches on the list that don't really fit the premise. Orton vs. HHH didn't have a terrible ending since Orton's bad selling of his injury occured during the match, and Malenko vs Benoit didn't end horribly, either, it just suffered from a crowd full of people that didn't care about wrestling.
The ending made Orton look pretty bad though. Tries to use a weapon then gets beat clean
@@CeemPlay Legit point, but the video emphasised his bad selling more than the ending. Thought that was weird.
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 Probably cause it it didn't play into the finish or cause the selling was why the match started so well. It was still a way better match than the one they had at Unforgiven.
Lesner didn’t even want to do the shooting star. It was because of John Laurinaitis convincing him to do the spot
Hey Kurt 4:24 tell that to deelow brown.
Brock v Kurt is literally my favorite match ever even with the ending 5 stars to me
8:23 VAR 😂
Noble and Mecury were Seth’s security team not managers lol
The ending may be bad but damn if the actual match was good or even great then to me it was a good or great match just with a bad ending
That AEW 2020 Revolution PPV ending should be on this list. That sparkles finish to a exploding ring match was one of the worst things to a wrestling match I have seen.
Can i use your videos in my indian language ?
Your Forgot about Randy Orton Vs Brock Lesnar at Summer Slam where is ended horribly.
I thought this video maker was quite good with his facts but just pointing out Angle vs Lesnar. Lesnar was also very sick as well as Angle aside from the broken neck and Angle wasn’t to far away for the shooting star as Lesnar had been hitting it front that distance in practise, Lesnar actually slips on the turnbuckle and rushed the move. Pretty obvious to see.
Kurt Angle vs stone cold summerslam 2001
John Cena vs. RVD ECW One Night Stand 2006
Add cody vs roman to this list
Also add John Cena vs. RVD ECW One Night Stand 2006. IMO that was such a b.s. way to end a match especially one for the WWE Championship.
Great finish ruined by pointless wrestling matches
5:35 oh now he has a problem with lewd behavior huh??
I don't know why the fck wrestling always does this to us 😢😑🙁😒😕
hhh vs hbk double countout in 2004
Reigns vs Rollins at Royal Rumble 2022?
Ending made sense
@@gavobxnds4790 Ah yeah. It kinda did.
If there's four people in the match that enter every 5 minutes and a 20-minute time limit wouldn't the last one come in right as the clock runs out
Understandable confusion, but it works out (assuming you're talking about the championship scramble match)
1 and 2 - 0:00 elapsed
3 - 5:00 elapsed
4 - 10:00 elapsed
5 - 15:00 elapsed
That means all participants would be in with 5 minutes left.
@@Starsaber222 so this means that after the 15th minute where the 5th wrestler enters, that's when the number of pins/submissions are registered or...?
@@Maxximum_ As I recall, for the Championship Scramble, it was whoever got the last pin before time expired, not whoever got the most.
@@Starsaber222 oh I see, thanks. If I'm not mistaken there was another championship scramble match not too long ago, on NXT, or at least a match similar to that
@@Maxximum_ Yeah, that's when I worked that math on the entrances out (because I was confused about the timing too), but that one was most pinfalls (across the whole match), not last to get a pin.
10) I get that people wanted to have a clean finish, but they were kind of booked into a corner here. Shawn couldn't drop the title because he was supposed to drop it to Vader and do that whole deal (which ultimately became Sid as those plans changed) and Mankind couldn't lose because he had just gotten two wins over Undertaker on PPV and needed to be protected heading into their third epic bout in the Buried Alive match. And with the new once a month PPV format, they had to do SOMETHING in September and after beating Undertaker, it felt like Mankind could believably take the title from Shawn. They were in a tight situation here and a DQ was the only way to get out of it.
9) This was dumb. They should have just made the match Non-title and have Sabu win. That was an ECW audience that was rabid to have their guy win. He couldn't have the title, so just make the match non-title and that problem is solved. RVD was winning the title in the main event anyway, so they didn't need to have two world title matches.
8) I skipped Mania XIX live because I was scared to death that Angle was going to kill himself given his bad neck. I decided I would watch the show after I heard nothing seriously bad happened to Kurt. However, I never envisioned that Lesnar would be the one to almost die. I will say this. I gained a ton of respect for Kurt Angle after that match (as if I didn't have it already) because he went out there hurt and needing surgery and then had to pull a new ending out of his ass after the major botch. He didn't let the situation get any worse than it already was and he deserves major praise for that.
7) Yeah, this match was fantastic and had the best build heading into that Mania, but that botched finish took a little out of it. Still, great match. Also, the V-Lick ruled and Vince can suck it for his reaction to it.
6) The Hog Wild/Road Wild events never worked because of the audiences. They weren't wrestling fans and almost none of it worked.
5) Creative editing kind of saved this one from being worse.
4) I hate the Scramble Matches. Even if the finish was executed well, I still wouldn't have liked it.
3) Honestly, I almost never liked HHH/Orton matches so...whatever, lol.
2) That ending was terrible and killed a match I was actually really excited for.
1) I can't believe how badly they botched the Summer of Punk. Hottest storyline in years and they did everything in their power to do it wrong.
Ok bye
🙊🤯💗😃
The Blue Blazer vs The Godfather
That started and ended horribly.
Doesn't count since that match didn't even start.
@Bodenlose Dosenhose it was a great start to the match. Excellent finish too.
@@robertnapier624 He's trying to be funny. And I actually thought his remark was meant a genuine grief over Owen's death. Oh, how naive I was.
First to comment 🎉
No one gives af
I was at wm 17, I thot brock killed himself. I was in the upper deck and it looked worse up there
No one likes a draw… no one cheers for a draw.. there must be a winner.
Hogan vs Yokozuna
I don't care if it's bulshit still going to put up with it
leave it to Bray to ruin a good thing. Never fails.
