Most embarrassing or sad wrestling moments

[alko]

Saw this footage from Scott Hall from 2011. Unbelievable, they even put him into the ring in that condition. Very sad moment in wrestling history.



Also last match from Andre the Giant.

The death of Owen Hart.

Embarassing:

- The Katie Vick storyline
- Mae Young giving birth to a....hand??
- The “Sexual Chocolate” Mark Henry storyline with a transsexual.

Also the on-air mocking of Jim Ross’s Bell’s Palsy amongst other health issues was both sad and embarrassing.

 

[These Are The Days]

To this day probably the worst segment I have ever seen





Honorable mention to JR's "heel turn" after he came back from his Bell's Palsy attack that had him shelved for early 1999 God that shit was absolutely horrible

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

The Eugene character was embarrassingly bad IMO.

 

[Unholy Diver]

The end of the Moxley/Omega exploding death match was probably the most embarrassing recently

 

[JackSlater]

Brian Christopher's "return" checks off a lot of these boxes. Not the all time biggest instance though as this is wrestling.

The thing that gets me was how silent the arena is. And that’s before they started having attendance problems.

 

[Eye of Ra]

when i found out my dad was not string. my dad was lying to me for years that he was sting.

 

[Brodeur]

The Eugene character was embarrassingly bad IMO.

Definitely a gimmick with a limited lifespan, but one of the most memorable segments I got to attend live:



Edit: other video edited out the Rock's surprise entrance

That Jeff Hardy vs Sting title match

The silence is embarrassing. I have a soft spot for Brian Christopher and he was once over for his place on the card, but it seemed like no one knew who he was or at the very least cared. Him doing the Too Cool dance to the silence of thousands of people is... not good.

I'm guessing that your father is Jeff Farmer.

I think that Eugene could have been an alright gimmick in terms of lifespan if they just let him say that he was faking it. Of course it's in poor taste but nothing so far out of the ordinary in wrestling. They also could have very slowly phased it out as with Rick Steiner I guess.

I thought the work he did was good once you got past him being completely out of breath, I liked the segment when it took place.

Wrestlers returning to Puerto Rico was a disgrace.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Sad = what happened to Droz

 

[Satire]

Saddest:


RIP Connor the Crusher.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Heros of Wrestling managed to both be embarrassing and sad in one PPV

 

[Kaner9]

Hhh beating Bookah T still bothers me

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Virgil at wrestling conventions and autograph signings.

Virgil at wrestling conventions and autograph signings.

At $20/autograph, he's not the one who should be embarrassed.

You're right, the man is making f*** money.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Tragic..

Brock Lesnar, not Triple H, SCSA, or Rock, being the one to end the Undertaker's WM streak.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Embarassing was JR being fired by the entire McMahon family.

Sad? Probably Mick Foley at 1999 Royal Rumble. With the documentary crew filming too. You can hear Rock say several times "Is he ok"?

 

[Hockeyholic]

The death of Owen Hart.

Totally avoidable too.

What was the audience supposed to get out of a guy coming down in a goofy costume. Where's the payoff?
