hey even the goats have a day off or two
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst matches by great WWE wrestlers
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list will be ranking the most
mediocre or disappointing matches from
WB superstars who usually can be relied
upon to deliver the technical goods
within the squared circle we’re gonna be
omitting matches which took place
specifically with an ECW or WCW but
allowing bounce which featured former
alumni so long as it took place after
dome to be acquired those companies also
of both competitors don’t need to be
considered great just so long as one of
them has in a solid reputation over the
years number 10 the Undertaker vs. Hulk
Hogan Judgment Day
The Hulk Hogan who wrestled the
Undertaker at Judgment Day 2002 wasn’t
the same performer who captivated the
populace during the 1980s rock and
wrestling explosion at this point in the
hulkster’s career he was basically
cruising around on heritage a notion
which was compounded by the fact that
Hogan was never the most technically
proficient wrestler conversely the
Undertaker could be relied upon to
usually deliver the goods in the ring
but even he looked out of sorts as this
match combined all of Hogan’s trademark
theatrics with a screwy finish to create
something both competitors would likely
rather forget
number 9 CM Punk this is Big Daddy V no
mercy
they say that a win is a win but this is
ridiculous a last-minute bait and switch
between Tommy Dreamer and Big Daddy V
led to the latter meeting CM Punk at no
mercy 2007 vying for a spot in that
year’s Money in the Bank ladder match
the wrestler formerly known as viscera
and Mabel was never an exciting
performer during the Attitude Era with
not much having changed by the time he
stepped into the ring
with Chicago’s best in the world
although Punk could usually have a good
match with just about anyone these
limited offense and methodical pace led
to a counter victory disappointing fans
and critics alike number eight brock
lesnar vs roman reigns wrestlemania 34
can you say beat the traffic
honestly we wouldn’t blame anyone who
left the arena prior to this
wrestlemania 34 main events which pitted
roman reigns
against brock lesnar again for the
universal championship
now we’re not knocking the in-ring
ability of both men here as Lesnar and
reigns have proven time and time again
that they can go and go hard even with
each other
the thing is though this match basically
was just finishing moved after finishing
move
after finishing move suplexes Spears
Superman punches f5s oh my it was
tedious repetitive like the height of
their first encounter and certainly was
not the saw thing which should headline
the grandest stage of them all number 7
Eddie Guerrero misses Chris Benoit ECW
one-night-stand Eddie Guerrero and Chris
Benoit were undoubtedly two of the
finest pro wrestlers to ever lace up a
pair of boots
but even the all-time greats have an off
nights the stars of the rowdy crowd at
ECW’s One Night Stand in 2005 wasn’t
particularly invested in the match while
the planned finish which saw guerrero
tap out clean to benoit didn’t sit well
with eddie
who had just come off a hot program with
rey mysterio the belt was a
by-the-numbers affair far below the
pair’s usual standard and the
frustration could clearly be seen on the
men’s faces chalk this one up two
majorly missed opportunity number 6
Shinsegae Nakamura vs. Jinder Mahal
SummerSlam okay so it is possible to
pull a decent match out of Jinder Mahal
as evidenced by his contest against AJ
Styles
ship champions 2017 unfortunately the
same cannot be said about this match
between mahal and w is resident perot
star schinsky Nakamura Nakamura has been
an electrifying before the long before
he stepped into AWA rink but all of that
ability and charisma seemed to go out of
the window in this plotting affair
against Mahalo George in Sky’s move set
in the WB isn’t as varied as it was in
Japan but Mahal’s methodical style did
nothing to help the fact that this bow
was barely a blip on the 2017
pay-per-view Calendar number five Cody
Rhodes Ted DiBiase jr. and Wade
Barrett’s versus Daniel Bryan Sin Cara
and Ezekiel Jackson WV Smackdown can you
say watch this match was more notable
for its mishmash lineup and
lackadaisical action than anything
remotely interesting that is until a
referee error sent this Smackdown bout
into true WTF territory it starts when
Daniel Bryan turns a hot tag into a
series of normal offensive maneuvers
including a dropkick in the corner to
Ted DiBiase jr. strangely the referee
counts to three
despite DiBiase’s corner sneaking up at
the last second
it’s a weird finish to what was also a
terribly boring match so lose lose we
guess number four John Cena versus Bray
Wyatt’s Extreme Rules
okay first the positives big match John
put over Bray Wyatt here in this steel
cage match a rare pay-per-view win for
the eater of worlds
however this Extreme Rules contest was
filled with so many shenanigans and
spooky antics that it severely derailed
any sort of momentum earned by the
actual wrestling Cena pulled out all of
the moves one might expect from the w/e
legend but the pair just didn’t gel on
this night oh and that little kid
serenading Cena as he attempted to
escape the cage
less said about that the better number
three Brock Lesnar versus Goldberg
WrestleMania 20 nor even the presence of
Stone Cold Steve Austin as this matches
special guest referee could have saved
this blow off much from bombing at every
conceivable level for starters
Goldberg’s explosive in-ring star was
best left as something quick strong and
impactful the longer it went the less
impressive Bills offense appeared and
this couldn’t be saved by Brock Lesnar
even at his most competitive plus the
crowd was well aware of both men’s
imminent departure from the company
giving this match the sort of surreal e
sour atmosphere that made it memorable
for all the wrong reasons
number two the Undertaker versus Roman
reigns Brussels mania 33 the sting of
taker losing his streak to Brock Lesnar
at WrestleMania xxx was still fresh to
fans even though the man in black had
since chalked up wins against Bray Wyatt
and Shane McMahon perhaps that’s why
this loss against Roman reigns at
WrestleMania 33 seemed to pour salt in
the wound reigns was certainly able to
deliver in the ring but his status as
the company’s golden child wasn’t doing
him any favors against a crowd firmly
behind the Deadman the pest contest was
basic and by the numbers with the
outcome being easily telegraphed by
anyone remotely aware of reigns his
place in WP hierarchy at the time we can
only hope that when Roman makes his
return the two can get a do-over the
better showcases their talent number one
Triple H versus Scott Steiner Royal
Rumble Triple H will always be a
polarizing figure amongst pro wrestling
fans but this doesn’t take away from the
fact that the game is one of the best WV
performers of all time trips can usually
be counted upon to provide at least a
fundamentally engaged
encounter but this was certainly not the
case against Scott Steiner at 2003 Royal
Rumble let’s set aside the fact that
this match also had a pose down angle
between the pair going in and you have
what’s basically a blueprint for Brock
Lesnar’s boring a suplex City gimmick
it’s over long overdone and overwrought
with Steiners complete cluelessness oh
and did we mention suplexes do you agree
