I saw a match last summer between Nikki Cross and I think Carmella that made me never want to watch modern wrestling again.

Also, Cena vs Miz, WrestleMania 27.

Sabu-Sandman from N2R 1997. An absolute disaster, mainly due to Sandman being so messed up on acid that he was hallucinating that he was fighting a giant lizard. Sabu said that at one point he was coming towards him going "Here lizard lizard!". Probably had among the most botched spots on a major PPV match ever.

The whole show was bad but you'd have a hard time finding a worse match in wrestling history than the Bushwhackers vs Volkoff/Sheik at Heroes of Wrestling.

That “Kennel From Hell” match with Al Snow vs. Big Boss Man.

Woof. :help: No pun intended.

The match was bad, but Bossman feeding Snow Pepper Steak was awesome. Bossman was such an under rated performer.

Pretty much any WCW match with Nash, Hogan or Hall involved. But when they hit Goldberg with the cattle prod and he lost the best to Nash was awful.

Bossman randomly becoming the most evil man in wrestling in the late 90s will always be funny to me. That feud and also his Big Show feud.

He gave all of Dustin's matches poor ratings, because he didn't like the Goldust gimmick.
Like, what the heck does that have to do with the match in question.

Also the Goldust gimmick has aged about as well as Saba Simba so yeah...

By all accounts he was a really smart and nice man behind the scenes. At the same time for a heavy guy he was a surprisingly good worker with really good speed, but he should always be remembered as the Big Boss man, not Big Bubba or the guardian angel.

I still remember playing him in that WWE arcade game all the time because that side walk slam was devastating.

Kinda funny, not sure where it belongs but I’m sure if Cameron is talking about an Alicia fox match it qualifies for being in here

I'll have to disagree with you there - as a longtime NWA fan I'll always think of him first as Big Bubba Rogers.

It didn't happen in a major promotion but watch the Iron Sheik vs. Mighty Maccabee at some indy show in NJ in 1997 (its on youtube), I watch it every once in a while to get a good laugh. Its basically 30 minutes of stalling, Sheik can barely walk and completely no sells, Maccabee isn't even a real wrestler (he is doing some sort of fundraiser) and there is a guy at ringside doing commentary on a live mic with horrible piped in crowd noise. Add Iron Mike Sharpe and Ken Patera at ringside too, classic

Its actually a four part match on youtube :eek::D

Every Oldies match is a disaster to watch. It was also with Andre The Giant last match in Japan.

There was a monster match in ecw. That was just brutal. I want to say it was mark henry vs kane vs khali vs viscera?

as the resident Big Daddy V fan I resent this post (but you’re right that was a beautiful, predictable trainwreck )
