Pat Patterson vs Gerald Brisco (WWF King of the Ring 2000) | Worst Match Ever?!

[@Jessejames7321]

4:40 Pete: "I feel like this will be the quietest episode" I've got King Of The Hill vibes from everyone saying "hmm, yep, mhmm"

[@Boom12]

Nothing says greatness, than 2 legends of the business wrestling in a strip match for a lower midcard title.

[@m_agamer2730]

Not even a lower Midcard title. It's just a jobber belt

[@jackryan8736]

I don't think I've ever wished for something like that to end quicker then it ended up ending. Somehow 3 minutes was 2 minutes too long, and that's probably being generous. I'm really enjoying your Worst Match Ever series guys, keep up the amazing work! Also, I have a few suggestions for Worst Match Ever, if they've not been suggested already or aren't in the box already: Hulk Hogan vs. The Giant at Halloween Havok '95 (both the Monster Truck Sumo match and the actual match on the show itself, probably both together as one sitting). Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. The Warrior at Halloween Havok '98 (the rematch nobody wanted). Any of the Punjabi Prison Matches. Goldberg vs. The Fiend Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown 2020. Diesel vs. Mabel at Summerslam '95. Diesel vs. The British Bulldog at In Your House 4. Anything from WCW New Blood Rising 2000.

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

All great shouts

[@SirSketch4th]

The only saving grace for this match was Crash Holly ending it. I agree with Pete as well, that did not feel like a 3 minute match. The ECW Chamber is gonna be rough.....can't wait! Another great episode. Makes my week, every week. Keep doing what y'all are doing!

[@tobyburgess2684]

Best series on KZbin. I still think, as I’ve seen someone else say previously, that you need two separate lists though. One for how fun the match is to watch, and one for how objectively bad they are.

[@a.jfercho1864]

How dare you insult Survival Series like that

[@honoratagold]

What's really gotten me about this series is that these matches have all been bad in wildly different ways. Two aging stars wrestling with head injuries and almost seriously injuring each other, two non-wrestlers in a singles match for some reason, a comedy match that isn't funny, blatant product placement, and coming up: a series of terrible booking decisions. Truly some Anna Karenina "every unhappy match is unhappy in its own way"-type vibes.

[@patrick7784]

Absolutely brilliant! How about adding the Doomsday Cage Match?

[@Binvernon]

I love this series. Great content, congrats lads!

[@bobbycashshow]

Gerald Brisco is the same age in this match as Triple H is now.

[@rishisaaptacha]

HHH vs Batista was nearly as offensive as this.

[@EddieLopez-q2t]

@@rishisaaptacha WrestleMania 21 bad or WrestleMania 35 bad?

[@Vesperitis]

As the old adage goes, cheering a wrestler is good, booing a wrestler is good, but the real kiss of death is silence, as the boys here demonstrated.

[@swaggleboon]

Okay that "honestly" after Pete says "who throws a shoe" was so perfect. You guys are great

[@DawnIgnited]

I busted out laughing at the next match reveal. "Oh you think THIS match felt too long at 3 minutes, did you?"

[@shachardahan1081]

Still the best thing in wrestling currently on youtube. Keep it up!

[@davidasnoddy]

If you're looking for suggestions, what about Trish and Bradshaw vs Jackie Gayda and Christopher Nowinski? Raw, July 8th, 2002? I *think* Trish said that it was the worst match of her career; IIRC, Al Snow said in his book that Gayda should never have been sent out to wrestle so soon, she should have been a manager while she received more training, and that she was rushed.

[@diabeticman2194]

Always enjoy a Worst Match Ever episode! If you need another match to put in the box, RVD/Mr Anderson from TNA Turning Point 2011 is one I found out about recently, and boy I was gobsmacked by it. Immediately thought of this series when I saw it lol Edit: Got Turning Point mixed up with Victory Road, my bad

[@ChrisJerico2]

I mean if we’re doing chambers… the IC Chamber in 2015.

Van Hammer vs. Doug Sommers from Halloween Havoc 1991 is one of the worst squash matches ever.

[@silverbackcp9765]

Since you guys brought it up, Shelly Martinez vs. Rebel, TNA Knockouts Knockdown 2016 on Impact Plus

[@thencsmaster4343]

Some potential suggestions for matches if they aren't already in the box: - Goldust vs. Ultimate Warrior (In Your House, 1996) - Randy Orton vs Big Show (Survivor Series 2013) -Trish Stratus and Bradshaw vs. Jackie Gayda and Chris Nowinski (Raw 2002) - Kennel From Hell Match - Eric Bischoff vs. Teddy Long (Survivor Series 2005) - Triple H vs. Scott Steiner (Royal Rumble 2003) - "Rosie O'Donnell" vs. "Donald Trump" (Raw 2007) - Kaitlyn vs. Maxine (NXT 2010) - Sting vs Jeff Hardy (Victory Road 2011) - The Brothers of Destruction vs. KroniK (Unforgiven 2001) - Booker T vs. Buff Bagwell (Raw 2001) - Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg (Wrestlemania 20) - Mr. T vs Roddy Piper (Wrestlmania 2) - Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon (Wrestlemania 26) - Hulk Hogan vs. Warrior (Halloween Havoc 1998) - Jerry Lawler vs Michael Cole (Wrestlemania 27) - DX vs Brothers of Destruction (Crown Jewel 2018) - Basically every match from Heroes of Wrestling - Intercontinental Chamber 2015 - Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez (Crown Jewel 2019) - Seth Rollins vs The Fiend (Hell in a Cell 2019) - Roman Reigns Wrestlmania Main Events 32, 33, and 34

[@jackryan8736]

They'd probably need to go through a whole Livestream for Heroes of Wrestling. 😅

[@calumbishop7082]

My complaint of this list is the lack of WCW, otherwise every match here would be a good choice.

[@jackryan8736]

@@calumbishop7082 I imagine there's a few WCW matches in the box. I can imagine one of them will be that age in the cage or the '97 Starrcade match.

[@JonathanH71]

Van Hammer vs Doug Somers-Halloween Havoc 1991 you’ve got to do that.

[@KaiMoya420]

I love the background music. Its sets the mood for the certain activity i take place in all day. Im still confused about the ranking, so the bottom is the best worst match and the top is the worst worst match?

[@codyjames52]

Oh boy the ECW Chamber...the 1st ever Chamber match i watched on KZbin in 2010 in 240p

[@mactiger1983]

If you haven't got it already, you should do the "Chamber of Horrors" match from Halloween Havoc 1991. Sting, Steiner Brothers, and El Gigante vs. Cactus Jack, Abdullah the Butcher, The Diamond Stud, & Big Van Vader.

[@Moe_GC94]

Can i ask: with the ECW Chamber next, could the Intercontinental Chamber Match also be in the Box for Options? ;) I would love to see you guys laugh your a**es off when Ziggler shouts commands to everyone xD

[@lazypaladin]

Fantastic! Now I can make my recommendation: _Eugene vs Triple H, RAW. Couldn't tell you the date, but _*_you know the match!_*

[@adamdenby1282]

Pete has the look he working out who the real killer is in the room haha

[@KPnutz1995]

Oh hell yeah!! So hyped for next week! I'm sure it was in the box from the start but I know I recommended the extreme chamber match at some point and I cannot wait! It is a guilty pleasure match for me and I'm so hyped

[@dylanjamieson4300]

Just thought of these matches that HAVE to be added: - Miss Hancock vs. Major Gunns in the Mud Rip Off the Clothes match from New Blood Rising (2000) - Buff Bagwell vs. Kanyon in a Judy Bagwell on a Forklift match from New Blood Rising (2000) - Buff Bagwell vs. Booker T (c) for the WCW Championship from Monday Night Raw (July 2, 2001) - Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg from WrestleMania 20

[@DeltaDan320]

As an April fools joke in this series you guys should do omega vs osprey

[@Brodysseus]

Is the IC Title Chamber match in the box yet? Also, if there are shorter matches, or just matches you think would go well together like they have so far, (Saudi + Zombie = bad idea matches, VR 09 + KR 2000 = dress matches) would match sets work for a video? Would make a decent podcast length video, plus would fill out the leaderboard a bit quicker.

[@whataminow333]

An argument for it to be worse than taker Goldberg is they didn’t even try from the start of booking for it to be good. Before it’s on paper it’s a bad idea. Didn’t start with any hope at all and still managed to deliver even worse. Going downhill, but starting at the bottom of the hill with some mining tool.

[@Jazz_Jackhammer]

If you guys haven’t got Shiek and Volkoff vs the Bushwhackers from heroes of wrestling in there ya’ll gotta get that in there.

[@Michael-oo6xn]

I witnessed this match live and in person. I can't believe it's been 24 years. Me and my buddies all made homemade Kurt Angle T-shirts for the PPV because there weren't any out yet.

Here's an old school bad match recommendation. Kerry Von Erich vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler from Super Clash III.

[@effarrjay]

My pitch for the box is WarGames 2000: Russos's Revenge, the main event from the 4th September 2000 episode of WCW Monday Nitro. The final Wargames match in WCW, that is held in the triple-decker Ready to Rumble cage match. There are teams for some reason even though the match is for the WCW World Heavyweight title, so only one man can win. It is an incomprehensible mess!

[@tafua_a]

Bushwhackers ve Sheik & Volkoff. The worst rated match by both Dave Meltzer (Absolute Zero stars, i.e. - 459.67 stars) and Bryan Alvarez (- all the stars in the universe, and the universe is infinite)

[@SamuelDoherty]

Giant Gonzalez vs undertaker at WrestleMania 9. Maybe just WrestleMania 9 in general

[@kingfrost_xx5]

The saddest part is that Vince and Russo (mostly Vince) is backstage laughing his ass off watching the match

[@riotd.r.8363]

So the first WWF Intercontinental Champion and one of the best tag team wrestlers of the 1970s are having a catfight, while wearing dresses. "Who let Vince book comedy?" Vince did.

[@zacomalley1825]

An episode of people laughing out of their noses

[@gamingblindwithsammobam5300]

I would like to humbly request the Doomsday Cage match from WCW Uncensored 1996. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage vs. 8 men (two of whom aren't wrestlers!) in a triple-layer cage. It's somehow boring and chaotic at the same time.

[@deadwafflez9685]

Thanks for the laughs.

Petitioning for another TNA match: Shelly Martinez v Rebel from TNA's One Night Only: Knockouts Knockdown 4 It’s so bad it’s good hopefully it gets added to the box

[@lavaery3229]

I hope it's in the box, It's Jeff Hardy vs Sting from Victory Road. It was so uncomfortable to watch, Jeff was gone when he was making his way to the ring. I hope it's in the box. I think that is worse than Miz vs Priest.

[@sleezboy992]

I enjoyed the match and according to Bruce Prichard, it was supposed to be Lita and Trish Status, but Vince 💡 to Pat and Gerry. Bruce also talks about how Gerry was mad and Pat was all in. The promo to it was hilarious. Poor Howard Finkel, he gets kissed amd you can tell he was not expecting the kiss.

This was the first PPV I saw as a kid. I thought the show was great at the time because I'd never really seen much wrestling to that point.

[@Tcarter1115]

For this series to work there needs to be discussion around matches and that's fine. But I think we need to be clear about what the Goldberg-Taker line is. Goldberg-Taker is legitimate risk of death/permanent brain injury. Anything that goes above that line we're saying "one of the competitors dying and/or being horrifically injured for the rest of their lives would have been a better outcome." Which is to say, I agree 100% with the list so far.

[@Darro85]

Funny in that the match for next week is possibly the 2nd best match on the show, and that goes to show how bad that PPV is overall. I think the match before it is worse though but this is more infamous of course. I look forward to when HIAC 2019 Seth vs Fiend pops up because I have never watched that match and thus saving it when the time comes.

[@KingKrakenSports]

I’m curious if the intercontinental chamber is in the box

[@OptimusProvost]

This gets the title for worst worst match because there was nothing fun about it. The only thing going for it is that it’s short

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

It puts things in perspective that during WWE's creative peak, the time that (uncritical) fanbois still want to come back and look upon with incredible reverence, and STILL compare modern product unfavorably to had crap like this. And 'Mania 15 and 2000. And some of the most appallingly awful writing on weekly shows ever. Wrestling is NEVER "perfect," no matter how many Best Of or revisionist looks back companies try to spoon feed fans.

[@tafua_a]

You know how "a broken clock is right twice a day"? This match is the proof that a perfectly functioning clock is wrong twice a year.
