Worst in the World: ODB, Taylor Wilde, and Roxxi vs The Kongtourage-Genesis 2009

By
Back to TNA we go. Everytime I see someone online say that the Knockouts are better than the women in WWE, all I can really think is...what show have you been watching? With the exception of a select few (Gail Kim, early Awesome Kong, Taryn Terrell. etc.), I would gladly take just about any woman on WWE's roster over a TNA Knockout. In this match, we get 6 of the most interchangeable woman TNA had on its roster in 2009 and puts them in a 6 Knockout Tag Match. It's the teams of ODB, Roxxi, and Taylor Wilde against Awesome Kong's Kongtourage, Rhaka Khan, Raisha Saeed (Cheerleader Melissa under a veil), and Sojournor Bolt. It's TNA, it's the Knockouts, and Rhaka Khan, so that should set your expectations right there. Let's get into this.
The match kicks off with Taylor Wilde going to work on Sojo Bolt with a lot of nice, quick offense. Saeed & Roxxi tag in, and Roxxi dominates her with forearms and a submission hold before tagging in ODB. Saeed is able to tag in Rhaka Khan, and ODB responds to this by grabbing's Khan's boobs (?). So despite Khan tagging in supposedly being a big deal, she is immedatley dominated by ODB, who makes the tag to Wilde. Saeed distracts the referee, which allows the Kongtourage to take control and beat down Wilde at ringside.
Saeed beats down Wilde for a bit, making me realize this match would be so much better if it was just Taylor Wilde vs Raisha Saeed. Sojo tags in (dammit) and hits a second rope elbow drop for a two count. Don West on commentary says that Wilde is getting a three on one beatdown "and not in a good way." What the f*ck does he mean "in a good way". When is getting beat down three on one ever a good thing?
Wilde and Sojo do a double hair pull whip, which allows Wilde to make the tag to ODB. ODB runs wild on the Kongtourage, bodyslamming Sojo and Saeed, but can't manage to slam Khan, so instead goes for a fallaway slam. ODB hits a running powerslam on Saeed and makes the pin, but Sojo breaks it up by running past ODB without making contact. What, did the wind break up the pin? Chaos ensues as everyone brawls in the ring. Roxxi takes Sojo and Khan to the outside, the three fall over and get back up, which allows Wilde to hit a top rope dive to the outside. Jesus Christ, Taylor Wilde is awesome. ODB rolls up Saeed in the ring for the win.

The Verdict

Well...that was a match. There were parts that were pretty good, specifically super-worker Taylor Wilde, but nothing else was really that noteworthy. There was only one real botch (the outside stumble), and the action wasn't terrible. It was just kind of...a match.

Worst in the World: The Last Rites Match-TNA Destination X 2007

By
(Special thanks to an anonymous user for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.) An often discussed aspect of professional wrestling is the backstage politicking of Hulk Hogan. Throughout his career as a major attraction in wrestling, Hogan's philosophy has always been to protect Hulk Hogan...OK, sometimes he'd help Ed Leslie, but most of the time it was to protect Hulk Hogan. Because of that philosophy and Hogan's influence as a top guy, there have been multiple instances where a company's booking and other wrestlers have suffered as a result. Would having Mr. Perfect win the 1990 Royal Rumble made sense and could have elevated a rising star and potentially created a new main event player? Yes, but that would require Hogan to not win, and that doesn't work for Hogan, so he wins the Rumble even though he doesn't need elevating. Would booking Randy Orton to beat Hogan at SummerSlam 20...

Worst in the World: Carmella vs Asuka: How to Destroy an Aura

By
Throughout the entire history of the WWE, we've never seen, and probably will never see again, a woman booked as strong as Asuka was to start her run. Coming into WWE in 2015 with over a decade of experience wrestling in her native Japan as Kana, Asuka was immediately treated like a huge deal. Hell, even from the first time we saw her on a WWE broadcast, she was seated in the crowd of NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn next to two Hall of Famers in Ric Flair & Sgt. Slaughter. Officially debuting in October 2015, Asuka would go her entire NXT career, nearly two full years, without being pinned or submitted. She was booked so strong, in fact, that instead of dropping the NXT Women's Championship in what would be her last match in NXT at the time to Ember Moon (even after sustaining an injury), an act that is almost always the case for champions leaving NXT for the main roster, Asuka retained and later vacated the title, keeping her streak intact. For a company that is more than willing t...

Worst in the World: WrestleMania XV: The Ragin' Anticlimax

By
(Special thanks to an anonymous user for suggesting this post's idea. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.) 1999 was one of the most important years in the history of the then-World Wrestling Federation. After being thoroughly beaten in the ratings battle by WCW for nearly two years, the WWF had regained its footing mid-1998, and would head into '99 on a winning streak in the Monday Night Wars that would never end. At the same time, WCW had begun to fall apart, with the now infamous Fingerpoke of Doom being the first of many nails in the coffin of the company. With their main competitor going from a genuine threat to a distant second, the WWF was absolutely on fire. With that said, it's kind of surprising that, in one of the best years the company ever had, the WWF put on one of the worst WrestleManias of all time in WrestleMania XV. It feels weird to say that. After all, this is the show that featured the first Wre...

Worst in the World: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar-WrestleMania 38 (Night 2)

By
(Special thanks to an anonymous user for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.) Over the last few years, WWE has developed a bad habit of trying to make already big matches even grander. Take, for example, the main event of WrestleMania 35. After Becky Lynch won the Royal Rumble that same year, the stage was set; Becky Lynch, a breakout star of the women's division, and one of the most prominent women the company has ever had, challenging Ronda Rousey, a trailblazer in women's MMA that reached mainstream recognition before transitioning to pro-wrestling, for the Raw Women's Championship. It was a match-up that we were supposed to get at the previous year's Survivor Series, only for that match to get changed due to Lynch suffering a concussion. That's already a huge match, and almost certainly the biggest women's match WWE would have ever had at that point. However, that apparently w...

Worst in the World: David Flair vs Kimberly Page-Mayhem 1999

By
OH BOY...let's talk about David Flair. The eldest son of the legendary Ric Flair, David would make his wrestling debut at Souled Out 1999, teaming with his father against Curt Hennig and Barry Windham. He had big shoes to fill from there on out...and boy, he didn't even come close. Not only was David nowhere near as good in the ring as his father, but he was also about as charismatic as a plank of wood. David's two-year career in WCW ended when WWE bought out the company, and after getting the living piss beat out of him by the Undertaker twice, he was pretty much done with wrestling. In those two years in WCW, he managed to snag a United States Championship reign, and Tag Team Championship reign with Crowbar, and Stacy Keibler. That's not a joke, David Flair actually dated Stacy Keibler in real life at one point. Good for him. Anyways, onto the match. This match came about after Diamond Dallas Page injured Ric Flair, so in response, David injured Page with a crowb...
