Worst in the World: Kevin Sullivan vs Dave Sullivan-SuperBrawl V

I'm getting really tired of watching WCW matches. I feel like the fact that four WCW matches in a row came up randomly is punishment for something I did wrong in life. Whatever it was, I'm pretty I don't deserve this. And I especially don't deserve to have to watch this match. This is a match where both men in the ring have zero business being in a wrestling ring at all.
Let me just get this out of the way, Dave Sullivan might be one of the worst wrestlers of all time. This man throws without a doubt the least convincing punch in the history of wrestling. I'd seriously put him with The Great Khali and Giant Gonzales in terms of talent. Whoever let this guy wrestle should have been fired. Kevin Sullivan isn't much better either. The man can't sell to save his life, and has one of the absolute worst looks in professional wrestling history. In fact, both of these guys look awful, and don't look like wrestlers in the slightest.
The match is a lot of bad punching and horrible selling. Neither one of them is on the same page, so there's a lot of messed up spots, mostly consisting of Kevin having to stop running or fighting so Dave can do his move. At one point, the two are fighting and Dave knocks Kevin down, but Dave is so uncoordinated that he falls out of the ring for no reason. Tony Schiavone keeps going on about how neither one of the Sullivan's wants to pin each other, even though Dave had gone for multiple pins throughout the match.
So Kevin tries to hit one of those Kevin Nash middle rope leg drop thing, but Dave moves and he misses (mostly because Kevin was about a foot off and wasn't going to hit him anyone), so Dave starts running wild. This leads to Sullivan's stable mate The Butcher (aka Brutus Beefcake) to hop on the apron and distract Dave. Kevin shoves Dave into The Butcher, they collide incredibly lightly, and Kevin pins Dave with the worst roll-up in history.
This might have been the worst wrestled match on this list so far. Neither of them belong in a wrestling ring, especially not together, and their in ring work clearly shows. So many messed up spots and so many slow spots that look like their wrestling at half speed the entire time and make the match worse. Like I said earlier, whoever booked this match should have been fired immediately.

The Verdict

As bad as this match was, it's still slightly better than Hogan vs Warrior. Hogan-Warrior manages to 10 minute and do nothing right at all. Kevin-Dave doesn't do anything right either, but at least it only goes 7 minutes.

Rankings (Best to Worst)

  1. The Chamber of Horrors-Halloween Havoc 1991

And next on the list is...I hope to God it's not WCW again...

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

(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: The Gimmick Battle Royal-WrestleMania X-Seven

(Special thanks to Frost for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.) WrestleMania X-Seven. Heavily considered the not just the best WrestleMania, but the greatest wrestling show of all time, WrestleMania X-Seven took place during the hottest period in the WWF's history, and features just about every one of the hottest acts in wrestling at the time. An undercard featuring the likes of Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, William Regal, Kane, and the Big Show. One of the biggest female stars in the history of wrestling in Chyna. A killer TLC match between the Dudley Boyz, the Hardy Boyz, and Edge & Christian. A wild brawl between The Undertaker and Triple H. A massive main event between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Hell, even the father vs son Street Fight between Vince & Shane McMahon. It's a star-studded affair. However, there's one match that sticks out like

Worst in the World: D-Generation X vs Brothers of Destruction-Crown Jewel

This match didn't need to happen. After Triple H and the Undertaker had one of the most brutally bad matches of 2018 at Super Show-Down not even a month earlier, nobody wanted to see them try to wrestle again. Also, nobody wanted to see Shawn Michaels come out of retirement after his fantastic sendoff in 2010, especially for a match like this. But here we are, Triple H & Shawn Michaels facing The Undertaker & Kane in 2018. The combined ages of these four at the time is 206. That's a number you'd expect to see from a match at Heroes of Wrestling. And anyone can come up with their own reason as to why this match is happening, but that would just be ignoring the actual reason. For those of you who don't know, Crown Jewel was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That might not seem like important information, but you can't really discuss this match without mentioning it. Despite the numerous reasons that running shows in Saudi Arabia is morally wrong (their abuse

Worst in the World: Nia Jax's Worst Matches

Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. Nia Jax's first run with the WWE can really only be described as hard to watch. Sure, she had a few stand-out matches, most notably (and surprisingly) her match with Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank, and an underrated gem with Bayley at NXT TakeOver: London, but those were always outshined by her most infamous matches and moments. She's since returned to WWE and, for the most part, seems to have improved a bit, but the reputation she got from her initial run is gonna be hard to shake off. This week, I'll be looking at some of Jax's worst matches. These include just flat-out bad matches, and matches that have become infamous examples of her reckless in-ring work. Match #1: vs Charlotte Flair-April 10th, 2017 Raw The first match we'll be looking at is from the April 10, 2017 episode of Monday Night Raw, when Nia took on Charlotte Flair. The two had been on the losing e

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

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
