10 Wrestling Matches That Sucked So Bad You Can't Believe They Were Booked

[@imranzafar1781]

Lol I'll never forget the Rock's expression after realizing he's getting booed for raising Reigns Hand 😂

[@glennwelsh9784]

That Fiend vs. Seth HIAC match still burns me. They booked themselves into a corner and had no logical way out. They didn't want Seth to drop the belt, but they also didn't want The Fiend to lose decisively because it would ruin his whole gimmick as a scary supernatural monster. But they had no choice but to book them in an "anything goes" match that by its very design forces a definitive winner because HIAC was the next show on the calendar. It feels like no one had any foresight and was just booking stuff on the fly, and they didn't realize that they had royally screwed up until the last minute.

[@karol.gorski99]

The best part is that Rollins eventually dropped the title a month later xD

[@kingextreme88]

I got another idea: "10 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon Ruined Due To Bad Creative".

[@i.am.king89]

@@BasadoDepartmento You forgot a zero lol

[@arashitendou5941]

It’s not so much bad creative It’s just Vince’s overly obnoxious ego and a council of Yes-Men WWE has creative people all over, both in the corporate side and wrestling side But as long as people like Vince and those who side with him are around we get crap like what’s mentioned in this video and in previous ones Example: as much crap as Johnny Ace gets, and in many cases rightfully deserves, he did play quite a few good parts in wrestling history The best one I can recall was being the personal friend who got in touch with Vader and brought him back to Japan for his proper final tours in AJPW after WWE nearly killed Vader’s love for the business

[@Dr_1212]

If stupid WWE doesn't insert Cody back into mania match with Roman prepare for another repeat of crowds booing Rock & Roman

[@DragonHeart613]

Amen dude. Amen.

[@danwaleby]

There's still plenty of time, anything can happen

[@Lance-wn9dc]

Nobody wants to see a triple threat match. Rock vs Roman is a dream match

[@DragonHeart613]

@Lance-wn9dc Dream Match for next year. Not this year. Dam right no one wants to see a Triple Threat Match at Wrestlemania 40. Cody vs Roman 1 on 1 is what the overwhelming majority of fans want to see closing out Wrestlemania 40. If Rock shows up in Philly, they'll boo him to hell & back even worst than the fans already are.

[@robertbarrows4795]

But yet when rock asked if he should sit at the head of the table the crowd lost it's mind wanting it to happen...... You all saw this coming for a while it was reported

[@JohnORatcliffe]

Best Ladder match ever is TLC II. I watched it live as a child and till thisbday nothing has topped it

[@sarge5741]

Coming soon at number one on Vol 2....Roman Reigns vs Dwayne the Egomaniac

[@TheThird1977]

Another list featuring Undertaker vs. Goldberg, another list mentioning THAT Jackhammer, and another list completely omitting THAT Tombstone that spiked Goldberg on his head.

[@cdmit27]

Goldberg deserved it.

[@thanoswest6754]

Goldberg is overrated asf he ruined bret career, nearly killed taker, buried bray and kevin owens

[@samtheone9680]

Love recycling lists and changing the title don't you?

[@markjagger2412]

Though it’s tough to watch now for multiple reasons, my favourite Ladder Match is Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit for the IC Title at the 2001 Royal Rumble. My favourite TLC Match is an easier call- TLC II at WM17.

[@Mkelm444]

Jackie Gayda and Chris Nowinski v Trish Stratus and Bradshaw. That match SUCKED

[@Aragorn7884]

Surprise!, but there WAS wrestling _before_ The Attitude Era 🤔

[@j.b.gruberiiiesq6582]

Eddie vs edge on smackdown in 03? 04? Is my favorite ladder match

[@aaronmcclellan12345]

IF it happens, Roman Reigns vs The Rock at WrestleMania 40 will be on a list like this, because the crowd at Wrestlemania of Pennsylvania will hijack that match, and won't care about the match at ALL, they'll hate every bit of it, if Cody isn't in it, plus the botches that will be in the match in the match due to The Rock being rusty, it'll be a complete disaster waiting to happen.

[@travismcmillen3485]

The rock vs Roman WrestleMania 40 but watch dp will cash in

[@dallasisgood]

The Michael Cole heel turn and the anonymous RAW gm were both great.

[@nosickl]

The fact the Lawler vs Cole Wrestlemania match did not receive minus 5 stars is beyond confusing

[@Kant3n]

WhatCulture with the timely thumbnail. Well played.

[@MykaTheDevil]

Having Maxine lose to Rhea in squash match could make sense if you look at it as a “learn how to take moves/sell moves” with a trusted wrestler.

[@Mewtwo976]

To this day I can’t believe Undertaker & Goldberg wasn’t fined for that embarrassing performance and boo’d out of the arena.

[@drums4lyfe0987]

Blood money talks is the WWE quote of the decade.

[@devilmandotson5505]

My favorite ladder match is a tossup between the Money In The Bank match of 2014. Or the Intercontinental Championship ladder match at Wrestlemania 31.

[@KaitoKiara]

I love the Zombie match. To put it in Simon Miller's words: goofy wrestling for life 😂

[@raymarsh8175]

The year NXT did a 6 man(I think) for the inaugural north American championship. That ish was crazy

[@arashitendou5941]

What’s it say that everyone involved in that match is no longer in WWE or never even left NXT before being fired or left Even worse, many on that match’s very PPV aren’t even in WWE with some only JUST coming back like Andrade or hardly doing anything like Zelina

[@BobZombie8806]

The Cole/Lawler match literally made me stop watching wrestling until 2016 lol

[@TYR77]

I can believe “Undertaker vs Goldberg” was booked, no one thought it was going to be amazing because Goldberg has never had a great match because he can’t wrestle. I think that match makes lists like this mainly because of Goldberg dropping undertaker on his head then undertaker being too messed up to finish the match

[@benniehackworth8781]

Have to put the House of Horrors match with Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton in there as well.

[@Weatherisbad]

This video needs an update for The Rock vs Roman

​@SportPhilosophiesand here you are watching them and crying about them. 😂😂

[@Filmation77]

Taker vs Goldberg and Nash vs HHH were just Monday Night War Tribute matches

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

Batista was showing support for the zombie match. Then he got mad when fans tweeted him about how bad the match was 🙄

[@CJM8615]

Can you do one for AEW now?

Honestly, any Britt Baker match ever. Not even Saraya could get a good match out of her... and Saraya gets good matches out of most people

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

Wondering how Goldberg vs Undertaker would ever work 🤔 Quick pace Goldberg vs Slow Mo Taker, even in their prime

[@HardlyQuinn]

RVD v Jeff Hardy in the follow up to there invasion clash is my favourite ladder match

[@Burkaboi]

I don’t get how so many people can hate 1 wrestler as much as they do and somehow the wwe is like .. hmmm, book him to win the RR and wrestlemania and then have him keep his belt for the next 4 years so we can break a record

[@K-Dub159]

Holy hell, was 2019 HORRENDOUS for wrestling 🥴🥴. Anyways, my fav Ladder match is probably one of the early MITB matches on mania. Can’t recall at the moment. I do know that TLC 4 is my fav TLC match though

[@thefuturist8864]

It was better than 2017, and nothing could be worse than the specific period between Rumble ‘17 and Summerslam ‘18. 2019 brought us a good Rumble, a top 10 WM, and the birth of AEW Dynamite (which was a great show when it first started). It cemented Becky as the star she was meant to be, and it gave a much-deserved WWE title run to Kofi, a man whose patience has few rivals.

[@flippineck2825]

No slight on the person, but Bray Wyatt outside of cult leader was pure trash.

[@DG_Raizen]

I think his art simply didn't work in the confines of professional wrestling. The stories and characters he wanted to present are things you'd expect out of a comic or graphic novel. This isn't the first time a character or concept didn't really work due to the constraints. I'd argue that ministry Undertaker was the worst version of Taker for a similar reason. Conceptually, a satanic cult should have worked, but went way too far down the rabbit hole.

[@jetla22]

Wish Vince got booted out of the company years ago. So many bonehead choices that drove viewers away

[@mlevo1011]

Not defending Vince, but it's hard booking, producing, and overall having a hand in every inch of every live event for 40 years week in, week out is a lot of work and some things just won't click.
