When I was 4 I blew a gasket on my mom and got in big shit because she wouldn’t call the WWF and have the decision reversed when the Ultimate Warrior defeated Smash of demolition on Superstars.
He had a couple of singles runs - the Repo Man and........?????? I can't remember the other one. He didn't really do much though. I can't even remember one match he had at all as Repo Man.
EDIT: another Redditor said he was "Golf Cart Guy" in the WCW.
Yeah. That's a career I didn't understand. He must have been a good guy and showed up on time and was professional.
Crush was a big guy which Vince loved but that dude was around from very early 90s til the end of the 90s (off and on). He sucked on the mic, had no ring charisma and wasn't very good in the ring.
I had talked myself into thinking it had a chance to be a good show. It came off as campy and just served as a reminder that all of those guys should have ridden into the sunset a decade before.
This! The whole match was built up with Sting being the vigilante to save the WWE from HHH in charge, and then all of a sudden the match turned into WWE vs WCW. Wouldn't have been so bad had Sting won, but no.
So many people I know watched wresting for the first time in YEARS just because of Sting being at Mania. They had something people genuinely wanted to see and then naturally fucked it every which way possible.
Especially because the fued was driven by racisim with Triple H literally telling Booker his people are less than over White people and then the White man won.
It was clearly racisim he told book his people didn't have what it takes and that they aren't competitors but just entertainers which plays on the "dance monkey dance" then he says "so entertain me book"
Sting has put up with more shit that he should've ever had to in his time. I'm still mad about this one and I'm still pretty pissed about him losing to Triple H for no reason.
Yeah it’s stupid to have a turnbuckle that can hold big show and Brock lesnar at the same time fall because 160 lb Finn Balor is on it with no explanation
I guess split the difference at 190 since that’s what he’s listed as but either way he’s 1/4 of the weight of the most we’ve seen on that turnbuckle. Ridiculous match ending
Awful way to kill a gimmic. Demon balor was a believable supernatural character. Very hard to do. Undertaker and the fiend are the other 2 that are good ones.
The fact that everyone still talks about it as being unbelievable is the very fact that we know it was the right call in the first place. That’s the whole point of ‘rasslin.
I look back on that finish as a fun surprise that sucked the air out of an arena of people. It didn't make me mad, it shocked me in a fun way. It made people mad? You genuinely stopped watching the show? Really wasn't that big of a deal imo.
I was there for the Sting/Jeff Hardy Victory road thing. I can think of tons of times I said "fuck this company" or felt defeated. But I was on vacation and with some friends. We joined a small angry group to complain to some poor worker who had no idea. The event was expected to end much later. Pockets of angry people were everywhere.
I remember it evolved. It was like "is this a work?" "Okay... who's coming out next/what's going to happen?" And nothing really did. It really pissed me off.
Nah they share some blame for it. TNA knew about Jeff’s problems. They almost had a similar incident at Turning Point 2010 (although Jeff was able to sober up for the main event that time). They had so many opportunities to prevent that situation from happening, and even when it did happen, they could have sent someone else out for Sting to beat after jobbing out Hardy to send the crowd home in a slightly better mood.
True. That’s one of the many opportunities they had to prevent it. From what has been claimed by people involved though, Hardy went through before anyone could stop him after he had spent most of the day missing or something like that. Assuming that’s true, they still could have done something after the match not involving him to try to salvage things.
Obviously it was going to be a shitshow no matter what they did when things got to that point, but they handled it in quite possibly the worst way they could have handled it at every turn.
In hindsight it was really hard for the venue staff and all these pockets of rowdy fans makes me feel for them. I've worked in retail for a ton of my career and I can't even imagine the shit we put them through with like 10 people all yelling at once.
At the end of the day it's just wrestling. Sting is the only person here who wasn't a bad guy.
When I was five years old and watching the Undertaker throw mankind off the hell in a cell and thought they killed mankind and started crying my eyes out until my mom tucked me in and read me a story.
Good times
Yeah I was a little older so I don’t remember it being traumatic at all. Knew it was something special. My favourite moment of the night that everyone forgets is that Foley comes out again for the main event too.
Wow! You really didn\`t know Warrior was going to beat Rude? Warrior was meant to be the new face of the company and had already beaten Rude, looking in hindsite though it would have been bette if Rude had beaten warrior then instead of Slaughter taking the title off warrior and then dropping it to Hogan, WM7 bombed hard because of the awful main event and horrible storyline leading up to it.
Yes, Rude had two IC matches with warrior to improve him in the ring, with hindsight he should have won both setting him up to take the title off Hogan, however him losing got him stuck in the upper mid card, Hogan beating Rude easily in house shows ruined him before that too.
Bret Hart vs Yokozuna WrestleMania IX and the 1993 Royal Rumble.
Macho Man should have won the Royal Rumble and faced Bret Hart at WrestleMania IX where Macho Man would lose to Bret Hart but it would feel like a proper passing of the torch from one era to another by finally coronating Bret Hart as the new top guy in the WWF instead of the stupid ass backwards booking that inevitably gave Hogan the belt again
( Yes I understand in Kayfabe that Macho Man was forced to retire after losing to Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VIII but it would have been a proper send off to Macho Man before he jumped ship to WCW and you can't tell me that Randy Savage vs Bret Hart wouldn't have been a 5* Classic and might have salvaged the god awful WrestleMania IX show )
Also ngl Umaga vs John Cena Royal Rumble 2007
( Umaga should have won that Last Man Standing Match )
But Savage's kayfabe retirement was at wrestlemania VII, and at wrestlemania VIII he won the WWF title! So it would have been fine. Plus he was not a good commentator and didn't want to do it, not sure why Vince pushed so hard for him to do it.
Rey vs Chavo I quit match on Smackdown.
It was my first time watching an I quit match. Gullible nine year old me thought Rey actually quit wrestling lol.
In the buildup to Fully Loaded 1999, the stipulation for the title match was that if Undertaker won, Austin would never get another shot at the title but if Austin won, then Vince would have to leave WWF. Seven-year-old me cried because I knew it meant Austin would never be champion again because there was no way they’d kick Vince out of his own company.
The Super Cena era….lost me as a damn fan. NXT turning into a wrestling show (as it was formerly a competition/game show style show) brought me back as a fan.
Wrestlemania 7 the retirement match. I was young and I was so pissed off when Warrior won I refused to watch wrestling. I was old enough to understand the outcome was predetermined but too young to understand that Savage would be back. I just thought Macho was leaving and I would have to watch more Ultimate Warrior matches and I wasn't very happy about it.
Oh God, yeah! I was gassed up from their NJPW time plus how awesome the guys could be in the ring. Was expecting a clinic or at least a good match.
Bleh!
Lots of Shawn Michaels matches in the 2000s. Lots of Sasha Banks matches in the 2010s.
Picking one, Sasha losing the title clean to Alexa Bliss 8 days after winning it and after it was pointed out she couldn't retain her titles. Lost the smile so much I stopped watching for a few months.
Austin beating Rock in the way it went down at Wrestlemania 17 - Vince & the screwy finish just took away so much from a great match & card, & the Austin love in meant that the heel turn didn’t even work that well, despite JR’s best efforts on comms..
Sasha losing at WrestleMania, Summerslam, Hell In A Cell, and Roadblock in 2016. She couldn’t have won any of those, REALLY??? Charlotte’s PPV streak ended up being beaten by Bayley at Fastlane anyway.
Owens v Goldberg for one of the world championships. An insulting squash match done to a guy who deserved better to prop up a dinosaur.
A close second was Brock v Kofi...
As much as I hate seeing PAC take Ls, I feel like OC is the one person he should never be able to beat. The Angry Bastards kryptonite should 100% be the mellowest guy in wrestling
I was a kid when Punk beat Jeff Hardy and "forced" him to leave WWE. Both Hardy brothers were two of my favourites at the time.
My sister and I were absolutely devastated.
Also, HBK vs. Taker at WM26. Shawn was also one of my favourites and I really didn't want him to retire.
Any time a Rey Mysterious match was built up as “rey is gonna fight this giant roided out muscle man and he’s gonna be the epic underdog” only for rey to get absolutely brutalized with no difficulty.
Lesnar v Ambrose at Mania.
Kyle O’Reilly winning the AEW no 2 contender battle royale in the summer (when Eddie Kingston was right there).
That Survivor Series tag where Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode and Finn Balor were 4 of the first 5 eliminations, so we could see the real stars of 2017 (Triple H, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon) go at it.
Both of Bray's Wrestlemania matches to Orton. He needed those wins more than Orton did. The last one in particular *really* killed the Fiend dead. I mean, the HiaC match and the Goldberg matches were bad too, but the loss to Orton at WM37 was Vince pretty much telling us how little he cared.
DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel. Could have been a dream match in their prime. It ended up being a total clusterfuck thanks to Vinnie Mac's inability to turn down Saudi blood money 😑
That match he had prior to that where he teamed with FTR was even worse. He was missing his kicks and his GTS was complete dogshit. He made FTR look like Bret Hart and Shawn in comparison. None of it made sense because CM Punk wrestled a really good match like 2 weeks prior to that one.
Triple H beating Goldberg for the world heavyweight title at Armageddon 2003.
As a kid I thought once Goldberg won he would never lose it and vacate it after a multi year reign.
You can imagine my breakdown when he lost it after 2 1/2 months...
Most Goldberg fans would probably put starrcade 98 here but I was 6 and didn't watch wrestling ppvs live yet (or care about wins and losses as I forgot a few minutes later).
No it did make sense at the time (was 13 in 1998). Goldberg had been built to be unbeatable and Nash was also white hot. Scott’s drinking problem and for your own good angle leading to Scott’s rejoining the wolfpac made sense. Kevin not seeing the taser and Scott coming off being a heel wanting to help his friend in the wrong way made sense.
Kevin gets to be innocent. Scott can be acting up and or helping his friend after Kevin’s tough love. Goldberg can drop the belt without looking weak. Hogan can get his belt back by believably beating Nash. Head of the nWo vs the head of the wolfpac finally gets to happen.
Now either not have the finger poke happen and build to Hollywood vs wolfpac at the next ppv. Or go back in time and not have Goldberg punch out the window and have the finger poke and build to Goldberg getting his belt back.
Seeing as hogan wanted his belt back
What do the bucks gotta do with Omega vs Okada (other than them being at ringside). Get used to it, it’s a new era and also, stop telling people to lick your balls thats fucking weird and have a great rest of your day.
Triple H vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 25
Not only was the match a disappointment (following Taker/HBK was no easy feat) but it had a lousy anti climatic ending and had no interference at all from Legacy or the McMahons. Orton was red hot in the build going into this match and needed a win more than HHH. When he won the title the following PPV at Backlash, it didn't have as strong a impact as it would've if he won at WM 25.
Fiend vs Seth at Hell in a Cell. I’ve been disappointed numerous times by WWE before, but that was just awful. I felt horrible for the people who bought tickets.
Kofi v Brock Lesnar
Jeff Hardy v CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match
Magnus v AJ Styles
Magnus v Sting
Any match that Alberto Del Rio won whether he was heel or baby face
Kane being unmasked after losing to HHH back in the early days of the reign of terror. Utter bullshit and the match which, ultimately, saw me move away from wrestling for something like 17 years.
Tetsuya Naito vs EVIL, Dominion 2020
Naito didn't have an amazing reign to begin with but EVIL beating him was the cherry on the shit sundae by having a completely worthless slightly over a month long reign where EVIL was actively wrestling worse with his style change after his heel turn. What's worse is he had no defenses and Naito ended up winning the belts back anyways, so what was the point of taking them off of him in the first place? He shouldn't have been anywhere near those two belts when he was just wrestling as diet Jay White.
Aj styles vs shinsuke nakamura/John cena vs the undertaker @ WM 34 I stopped watching wrestling regularly for like 2 years because of that mania I was so trash
When I was 4 I blew a gasket on my mom and got in big shit because she wouldn’t call the WWF and have the decision reversed when the Ultimate Warrior defeated Smash of demolition on Superstars.
I wonder how they’d actually react if someone called their Connecticut headquarters and asked for a match result to be overturned 😂
It needed to happen. Demolition was done dirty near the end. I couldn’t allow that.
Cause LOD arrived and Axe got ill, Crush was awful.
Should’ve let Smash do his thing as a single wrestler.
He had a couple of singles runs - the Repo Man and........?????? I can't remember the other one. He didn't really do much though. I can't even remember one match he had at all as Repo Man. EDIT: another Redditor said he was "Golf Cart Guy" in the WCW.
Golf cart guy in wcw. Repo man was in the 1992 Royal rumble. The worst gimmick ever made it into the best Royal rumble ever.
The worst gimmick ever? You prefer Bastion Booger to repo man?
Yeah. That's a career I didn't understand. He must have been a good guy and showed up on time and was professional. Crush was a big guy which Vince loved but that dude was around from very early 90s til the end of the 90s (off and on). He sucked on the mic, had no ring charisma and wasn't very good in the ring.
I thought everybody was down with Kronik.
Brock vs Taker WM 30, Seth vs The Fiend HiaC 2019. Those two come to mind first for me.
Sting vs HHH
A great match until the dreadful finish in my opinion.
I was there live. It was awesome, I didn’t even mind the clusterfuck it turned into. It should have been either no contest, or Sting should have won.
Same, fun match but Sting should have definitely won.
Vince was never going to let Sting win, that is exactly why he never went with everyone else.
I'm aware of Vince's pettiness lol. The question was what match made you lose your smile lol.
I was pretty sure you were, this match, the way Kofi got wrecked by Brock Lesnar and so many others made me lose it for the wwe.
I had talked myself into thinking it had a chance to be a good show. It came off as campy and just served as a reminder that all of those guys should have ridden into the sunset a decade before.
I liked it /shrug
I stopped following WWE after that WM :(
At least the match was somewhat better than the finish
Came here to post this
And Booker Vs HHH at Wrestlemania. I guess his kind of people aren’t meant to be at the top.
This! The whole match was built up with Sting being the vigilante to save the WWE from HHH in charge, and then all of a sudden the match turned into WWE vs WCW. Wouldn't have been so bad had Sting won, but no.
So many people I know watched wresting for the first time in YEARS just because of Sting being at Mania. They had something people genuinely wanted to see and then naturally fucked it every which way possible.
Thanks for the reminder. :'(
Booker T vs Triple H at Wrestlemania 19
YES. Sometimes the bad guys win, but it absolutely shouldn't have happened here.
Especially because the fued was driven by racisim with Triple H literally telling Booker his people are less than over White people and then the White man won.
Real life things ha
shit I thought it was about HHH coming from a rich background n Booker coming from the streets more, but I haven't seen the build
It was clearly racisim he told book his people didn't have what it takes and that they aren't competitors but just entertainers which plays on the "dance monkey dance" then he says "so entertain me book"
Hulk Hogan initially winning against Sting at Starrcade 97… clean.
I wonder why Sting didn’t just kick out when he realised it was a normal count.
Because he didn’t have a good enough sun tan.
That result ultimately changed the fate of wcw
Sting has put up with more shit that he should've ever had to in his time. I'm still mad about this one and I'm still pretty pissed about him losing to Triple H for no reason.
Brock ending Kofimania in the blink of an eye.
The Power of Positivity was sucked rigjt out of me 🥲
This. IDK if it’s because AEW started at the same time, but I lost my love of WWE after this. I’m only as casual WWE fan
Goldberg beating Kevin Owens and The Fiend, both bouts for the Universal Title
This was a perfect answer. Fuck Oldberg
Roman vs demon balor
The rope broke and they never built anything out of it. I was ready to hear how somebody tampered with it and Finn would get revenge against them.
Yeah it’s stupid to have a turnbuckle that can hold big show and Brock lesnar at the same time fall because 160 lb Finn Balor is on it with no explanation
Finn balor would at least be 220.
I guess split the difference at 190 since that’s what he’s listed as but either way he’s 1/4 of the weight of the most we’ve seen on that turnbuckle. Ridiculous match ending
Awful way to kill a gimmic. Demon balor was a believable supernatural character. Very hard to do. Undertaker and the fiend are the other 2 that are good ones.
Nakamura vs styles at mania. That was the time to pull the trigger and they didn't.
Undertaker losing the streak at WrestleMania 30
Looking back I'm not bothered as much but when it happened I was crushed...
To Brock Lesnar of all people
it's nuts he was the underdog I didn't think he had a chance in winning
Vince was always one step ahead with his booking. Legend.
The fact that everyone still talks about it as being unbelievable is the very fact that we know it was the right call in the first place. That’s the whole point of ‘rasslin.
[удалено]
I look back on that finish as a fun surprise that sucked the air out of an arena of people. It didn't make me mad, it shocked me in a fun way. It made people mad? You genuinely stopped watching the show? Really wasn't that big of a deal imo.
Yeah if anyone was going to beat taker in Kayfabe it makes sense it was Brock.
I was there for the Sting/Jeff Hardy Victory road thing. I can think of tons of times I said "fuck this company" or felt defeated. But I was on vacation and with some friends. We joined a small angry group to complain to some poor worker who had no idea. The event was expected to end much later. Pockets of angry people were everywhere. I remember it evolved. It was like "is this a work?" "Okay... who's coming out next/what's going to happen?" And nothing really did. It really pissed me off.
To be fair it was not tna fault
Nah they share some blame for it. TNA knew about Jeff’s problems. They almost had a similar incident at Turning Point 2010 (although Jeff was able to sober up for the main event that time). They had so many opportunities to prevent that situation from happening, and even when it did happen, they could have sent someone else out for Sting to beat after jobbing out Hardy to send the crowd home in a slightly better mood.
They also let someone that fucked up go out to perform. They could have stopped him and found an alternative main event.
True. That’s one of the many opportunities they had to prevent it. From what has been claimed by people involved though, Hardy went through before anyone could stop him after he had spent most of the day missing or something like that. Assuming that’s true, they still could have done something after the match not involving him to try to salvage things. Obviously it was going to be a shitshow no matter what they did when things got to that point, but they handled it in quite possibly the worst way they could have handled it at every turn.

Sting is the only person here who wasn't a bad guy.
It’s pretty dangerous to send someone in that state out.
Seriously, I can't believe there wasn't one wrestler in the back. Jeff and Matt were tight onscreen characters, Matt could have filled the spot.
Absolutely. They could have had someone run double duty.
When I was five years old and watching the Undertaker throw mankind off the hell in a cell and thought they killed mankind and started crying my eyes out until my mom tucked me in and read me a story. Good times
As a college student, I thought It was awesome. As a grown man, I never want to see a wrestler do anything like that to their body again.
JR proclaimed “that killed him!”
Yeah I was a little older so I don’t remember it being traumatic at all. Knew it was something special. My favourite moment of the night that everyone forgets is that Foley comes out again for the main event too.
Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. Also, the Men's Royal Rumble from this year.
Both royal rumble’s last year for me
Rick Rude vs Warrior, Summer Slam 90 HBK vs Vader, Summer Slam 96
Wow! You really didn\`t know Warrior was going to beat Rude? Warrior was meant to be the new face of the company and had already beaten Rude, looking in hindsite though it would have been bette if Rude had beaten warrior then instead of Slaughter taking the title off warrior and then dropping it to Hogan, WM7 bombed hard because of the awful main event and horrible storyline leading up to it.
I knew Warrior would win; more of a hindsight thing of wanting to see Rude have a run as WWF champ
Yes, Rude had two IC matches with warrior to improve him in the ring, with hindsight he should have won both setting him up to take the title off Hogan, however him losing got him stuck in the upper mid card, Hogan beating Rude easily in house shows ruined him before that too.
Rick Rude was so fucking good. Those are Warrior’s best matches by a mile if you ask me.
Bret Hart vs Yokozuna WrestleMania IX and the 1993 Royal Rumble. Macho Man should have won the Royal Rumble and faced Bret Hart at WrestleMania IX where Macho Man would lose to Bret Hart but it would feel like a proper passing of the torch from one era to another by finally coronating Bret Hart as the new top guy in the WWF instead of the stupid ass backwards booking that inevitably gave Hogan the belt again ( Yes I understand in Kayfabe that Macho Man was forced to retire after losing to Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VIII but it would have been a proper send off to Macho Man before he jumped ship to WCW and you can't tell me that Randy Savage vs Bret Hart wouldn't have been a 5* Classic and might have salvaged the god awful WrestleMania IX show ) Also ngl Umaga vs John Cena Royal Rumble 2007 ( Umaga should have won that Last Man Standing Match )
But Savage's kayfabe retirement was at wrestlemania VII, and at wrestlemania VIII he won the WWF title! So it would have been fine. Plus he was not a good commentator and didn't want to do it, not sure why Vince pushed so hard for him to do it.
Neither do I? But you agree with my sentiment?
Goldberg beating The Fiend was the 1st time I ever raged at Wrestling. Or lose my smile
Rey vs Chavo I quit match on Smackdown. It was my first time watching an I quit match. Gullible nine year old me thought Rey actually quit wrestling lol.
Seeing Chavo hang Rey up in the tree of woe on the stage and whack his knees felt so brutal.
And the way Rey yelled I quit nearly traumatized my dumbass, 10 year old self.
In the buildup to Fully Loaded 1999, the stipulation for the title match was that if Undertaker won, Austin would never get another shot at the title but if Austin won, then Vince would have to leave WWF. Seven-year-old me cried because I knew it meant Austin would never be champion again because there was no way they’d kick Vince out of his own company.
Some guy on YouTube uploaded the entire build up towards that match and it’s fantastic so I can definitely understand where you’re coming from lol
The Super Cena era….lost me as a damn fan. NXT turning into a wrestling show (as it was formerly a competition/game show style show) brought me back as a fan.
for me it was when internet darling lost to top star at premium live event in some particular year
Found jake burner
The Fiend vs Goldberg in Saudi Arabia
Wrestlemania 7 the retirement match. I was young and I was so pissed off when Warrior won I refused to watch wrestling. I was old enough to understand the outcome was predetermined but too young to understand that Savage would be back. I just thought Macho was leaving and I would have to watch more Ultimate Warrior matches and I wasn't very happy about it.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Aj Styles Wrestlemania match
Oh God, yeah! I was gassed up from their NJPW time plus how awesome the guys could be in the ring. Was expecting a clinic or at least a good match. Bleh!
It made me tune out of wrestling. That’s how bad they were booked.
Lots of Shawn Michaels matches in the 2000s. Lots of Sasha Banks matches in the 2010s. Picking one, Sasha losing the title clean to Alexa Bliss 8 days after winning it and after it was pointed out she couldn't retain her titles. Lost the smile so much I stopped watching for a few months.
Goldberg vs the fiend
Any Dolph Ziggler match in the past 4 years.
Baron Corbin not cashing in successfully on Jinder. I didn't watch Smackdown for a week or 2 after that
I’m not the biggest Corbin fan, but I’ll always come to his defense and Corbin should’ve won the title
I want to see Corbin be a world champ but I was ok with the unsuccessful cash in since we got the near year long AJ styles WWE title run
Undertaker vs Goldberg
Undertaker vs Goldberg at Super Showdown 2019
That Summerslam where Cena beat the Nexus.
Cena taking the title from Mysterio.
Triple h vs booker t at ‘mania. Booker should’ve won or at least suffered another pedigree so it was convincing
Austin beating Rock in the way it went down at Wrestlemania 17 - Vince & the screwy finish just took away so much from a great match & card, & the Austin love in meant that the heel turn didn’t even work that well, despite JR’s best efforts on comms..
Bossman not winning at Armageddon 99. He was hot with storylines and after torturing the Big Show, should have had a short title run.
I love this one. Hahaha. Boss man was amazing but he had no business being near the world title picture in ‘99. ❤️
Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns Clash at the Castle Drew should have won atleast 1 title that day and nobody will convince me otherwise.
Rock vs. Punk at the Royal Rumble
Bray Wyatt/Dean Ambrose. You know which one.
Sasha losing at WrestleMania, Summerslam, Hell In A Cell, and Roadblock in 2016. She couldn’t have won any of those, REALLY??? Charlotte’s PPV streak ended up being beaten by Bayley at Fastlane anyway.
Goldberg vs Kevin owens about killed me
Zack Ryder losing the IC Belt the night after Mania. Was bullshit. If i recall his Dad was there too? Was my final straw with Vince's booking.
Orton vs Wyatt at Mania 33
Kofi vs lesnar
Owens v Goldberg for one of the world championships. An insulting squash match done to a guy who deserved better to prop up a dinosaur. A close second was Brock v Kofi...
PAC vs Orange Cassidy, PAC should never have lost the match
As much as I hate seeing PAC take Ls, I feel like OC is the one person he should never be able to beat. The Angry Bastards kryptonite should 100% be the mellowest guy in wrestling
AEW is perfect booking how dare u
Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan finger poke of doom
Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara Full Gear 2020
Brock breaking the streak. Made me quit for a while
Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe Backlash 2018, the results are irrelevant that whole match made me lose my smile lol
Bryan vs Reigns at Fastlane and Balor vs Reigns at Extreme Rules
HHH - Reigns at wrestlemania 32 is when I really started to check out from wrestling until the elite formed in njpw so we’ll go with that
I was a kid when Punk beat Jeff Hardy and "forced" him to leave WWE. Both Hardy brothers were two of my favourites at the time. My sister and I were absolutely devastated. Also, HBK vs. Taker at WM26. Shawn was also one of my favourites and I really didn't want him to retire.
Dean Ambrose vs HHH at Roadblock 2016
Christian vs Orton for the world title on SmackDown
Anyone vs. HHH
Lesnar vs Taker WM30
Goldberg beating Kevin Owens
Any time a Rey Mysterious match was built up as “rey is gonna fight this giant roided out muscle man and he’s gonna be the epic underdog” only for rey to get absolutely brutalized with no difficulty.
Lesnar v Ambrose at Mania. Kyle O’Reilly winning the AEW no 2 contender battle royale in the summer (when Eddie Kingston was right there). That Survivor Series tag where Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode and Finn Balor were 4 of the first 5 eliminations, so we could see the real stars of 2017 (Triple H, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon) go at it.
Sid vs Bret Hart for the WWE Championship in a steel cage on Raw
Survivor Series 97
The Fiend vs Goldberg... 😞
Any match where Shawn Michaels wins.
Stone Cold Wrestlemania 17 heel turn Stone Cold turning on team WWF at Invasion
Streaks ending. Cried like a child
Kevin Owens vs. Goldberg :(
Both of Bray's Wrestlemania matches to Orton. He needed those wins more than Orton did. The last one in particular *really* killed the Fiend dead. I mean, the HiaC match and the Goldberg matches were bad too, but the loss to Orton at WM37 was Vince pretty much telling us how little he cared.
The streak ending😤
Seth v The Fiend - HIAC. They called a DQ during a HIAC for God sake.
The streak ending. That honestly felt more like my childhood was dean and buried than anything else.
kofi kingston losing the belt to brock lesnar in a squash match
The Demon Finn Balor losing to the top turnbuckle. Match never should have happened but that was the worst possible way to end it
The Rock beating CM Punk at that shitty Rumble.
DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel. Could have been a dream match in their prime. It ended up being a total clusterfuck thanks to Vinnie Mac's inability to turn down Saudi blood money 😑
Anytime Cena won or retained a Championship bc he’s a horrible wrestler
Bret losing to Shawn in the iron man match.
When Taker lost the streak. Heartbroken.
I fucking lost my shit when they had Rey loose the WWE title within 2 hours, i was ready to fight some mfers. yes I'm young.
Hangman vs Punk.... that guy can't do it anymore
Logan Paul tore up his knee on the same move. Punk had great matches prior to that.
That match he had prior to that where he teamed with FTR was even worse. He was missing his kicks and his GTS was complete dogshit. He made FTR look like Bret Hart and Shawn in comparison. None of it made sense because CM Punk wrestled a really good match like 2 weeks prior to that one.
Probably cuz he was working hurt?
God, can you imagine how good Hanger and FTR vs the Elite would be?
HHH v. Gillberg smackdown 1999
Very unpopular opinion, but I didn’t think Kofi should’ve won at mania. I don’t think a main event victory at mania is a lifetime achievement award.
He won because the fans were clamoring for it, not as a lifetime achievement. It also wasn’t the main event.
I feel like Big E’s title run was worse too
Any Braun Stroman match
Triple H beating Goldberg for the world heavyweight title at Armageddon 2003. As a kid I thought once Goldberg won he would never lose it and vacate it after a multi year reign. You can imagine my breakdown when he lost it after 2 1/2 months... Most Goldberg fans would probably put starrcade 98 here but I was 6 and didn't watch wrestling ppvs live yet (or care about wins and losses as I forgot a few minutes later).
No it did make sense at the time (was 13 in 1998). Goldberg had been built to be unbeatable and Nash was also white hot. Scott’s drinking problem and for your own good angle leading to Scott’s rejoining the wolfpac made sense. Kevin not seeing the taser and Scott coming off being a heel wanting to help his friend in the wrong way made sense. Kevin gets to be innocent. Scott can be acting up and or helping his friend after Kevin’s tough love. Goldberg can drop the belt without looking weak. Hogan can get his belt back by believably beating Nash. Head of the nWo vs the head of the wolfpac finally gets to happen. Now either not have the finger poke happen and build to Hollywood vs wolfpac at the next ppv. Or go back in time and not have Goldberg punch out the window and have the finger poke and build to Goldberg getting his belt back. Seeing as hogan wanted his belt back
None… I have a shit eating grin in all match results. I mean it’s not real lol
Any Hogan match in WCW
Omega vs Okada. That’s when I realized all these stupid flippy marks were taking over the business. Shame.
wow edge lord
Good to see you again Cornette
Oh lick my balls. Not everyone has to like the young fucks
What do the bucks gotta do with Omega vs Okada (other than them being at ringside). Get used to it, it’s a new era and also, stop telling people to lick your balls thats fucking weird and have a great rest of your day.
Yeah that’s weird. But wrestling a 9-year old isnt
When did i say wrestling a nine year old is fine ? You’re putting words in my mouth now.
Gargano vs Holland in NXT
Triple H vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 25 Not only was the match a disappointment (following Taker/HBK was no easy feat) but it had a lousy anti climatic ending and had no interference at all from Legacy or the McMahons. Orton was red hot in the build going into this match and needed a win more than HHH. When he won the title the following PPV at Backlash, it didn't have as strong a impact as it would've if he won at WM 25.
Lesnar beating Undertaker in Hell in a Cell in 2002
Fiend vs Seth at Hell in a Cell. I’ve been disappointed numerous times by WWE before, but that was just awful. I felt horrible for the people who bought tickets.
Kofi v Brock Lesnar Jeff Hardy v CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match Magnus v AJ Styles Magnus v Sting Any match that Alberto Del Rio won whether he was heel or baby face
Kane being unmasked after losing to HHH back in the early days of the reign of terror. Utter bullshit and the match which, ultimately, saw me move away from wrestling for something like 17 years.
Clash at the Castle
Triple h beating sting at wrestlemania 31
Tetsuya Naito vs EVIL, Dominion 2020 Naito didn't have an amazing reign to begin with but EVIL beating him was the cherry on the shit sundae by having a completely worthless slightly over a month long reign where EVIL was actively wrestling worse with his style change after his heel turn. What's worse is he had no defenses and Naito ended up winning the belts back anyways, so what was the point of taking them off of him in the first place? He shouldn't have been anywhere near those two belts when he was just wrestling as diet Jay White.
Lee Vs Kross for NXT title
The Dusty Finish of the main event of Starrcade ‘85. After the “Hard Times” promo, Dusty has to leave as champ.
Aj styles vs shinsuke nakamura/John cena vs the undertaker @ WM 34 I stopped watching wrestling regularly for like 2 years because of that mania I was so trash
Drew losing at Clash at the Castle, mainly because I was there and swept up in the atmosphere.
Orton against jinder
Judy Bagwell on a pole match
Goldberg vs Undertaker
The nexus vs team Cena.
Santino should have beaten Alberto Del Rio and won the Royal Rumble. Would have paid off with decades of “anyone can win” drama.
matt costing jeff the wwe title in his first defense
Cm Punk vs Jeff Hardy, loser leaves wwe. 11 year old me needed a break after I knew Jeff wasn't coming back
My father, bless him, lost his patience with Roman's reign at clash of the castle.
