Worst in the World: Meng vs Jim Duggan-Uncensored 1995

By
So Jim Duggan's back for the second entry in a row. Yeah...why me? This time, he faces Meng, formerly known as Haku in what is called a "Martial Arts match." How is this any different from a regular match, well that is an excellent question...I have no idea. Let's just get into this
First off, Jim Duggan is sporting the most traditional of martial arts gear in jeans and cowboy boots:
I mean come on, have you ever even been to a dojo? So after refusing to bow initially (like a babyface), Duggan eventually bows after being yelled at by referee Sonny Onoo. Meng takes this opportunity to kick Duggan in the head. The two trade strikes, with Duggan throwing traditional martial arts moves such as punches and forearms before Meng hits Duggan to the ground. Duggan takes off his boot and hits Meng with it (like in most martial arts matches). I know I might sound like a broken record with these martial arts jokes, but seriously, what about this match is "martial arts" other than what Meng is doing. Duggan is doing exactly what he would do in a regular match. This is just a regular match with a name thrown on for no reason.
Meng is able to take the boot away and knock Duggan down, only for Duggan to take his other boot off. Duggan escapes Meng's claw hold by hitting Meng's barefoot with his boot. That's pretty clever, actually, I'll give them that. Meng keeps chopping away at Duggan before Duggan rips his tank top and punches away at Meng. And this is pretty much the majority of the match; Meng dominates, Duggan fires up for a bit, Meng takes control again. That's all that happens.
So after over SIX MINUTES of an almost uninterrupted beatdown by Meng, Duggan fights back and runs wild, hitting the ten punches in the corner before being stopped by Ohoo. Duggan then tries to throw Onoo out of the ring. Wow, what a babyface! Why would anyone cheer this asshole? Duggan hits the Three-Point Clothesline, but Meng gets right back up. Meng's manager Col. Rob Parker hops up on the ring apron to distract Duggan and grabs his arm. Onoo grabs Duggan's other arm to pull him back, and with both arms trapped, Duggan is prone for a savate kick by Meng. Meng gets the win.

The Verdict

God this was boring. Meng dominated the whole thing with random bursts of offense from Duggan throughout, and the match followed that formula for seven minutes. Seriously, just awful.

Worst in the World: The Gimmick Battle Royal-WrestleMania X-Seven

By
(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: 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: D-Generation X vs Brothers of Destruction-Crown Jewel

By
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: What is the Worst Wrestling Match of All Time?

By
  Note: This series is based off a YouTube series " The Search for the Worst " by I Hate Everything, where he reviews every movie on IMDB's Bottom 100. It's a great, funny series and I'd recommend checking it out. Have you ever just thought to yourself "What is the worst match of all time?"? I don't mean something like a boring John Cena-Randy Orton match, I mean a match where the wrestlers have zero chemistry, little wrestling ability, or literally no idea what they are actually doing. I've thought about this for a while, and I've decided to finally figure it out. So I'm going to watch any match that is: a) A winner of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Award for the Worst Worked Match of the Year. or:  b) Listed on the 100 worst rated wrestling matches of all time on the Internet Wrestling Database .   (Note: Some matches appear on awards that aren't on the list.) There are 115 (EDIT: Now 99)  matches on here. I pu

Worst in the World: The Reina de Reinas Championship Four-Way-AAA Triplemanía XXV

By
  Rest in peace to both Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt. Two incredible performers who will be missed dearly. Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. In 2014, Lucha Underground would premiere on the El Rey Network. Combining high-flying, death-defying wrestling with heavily stylized, cinematic segments that more closely resembled an AMC show than what you'd see on Monday Night Raw, Lucha Underground was a hit. Along with just being a unique, enjoyable wrestling experience, the show also provided a launching pad for several of the wrestlers, whether they be American wrestlers getting their biggest exposure to date in Ricochet (Prince Puma) and Jeff Cobb (Matanza Cueto), ex-WWE superstar John Morrison finding new life as Johnny Mundo, or luchadors like Pentagon Jr. and Fenix branching out into the United States. The latter is the case for Sexy Star. Debuting in 2006, Sexy Star would spend the first eight years of her career wrestl
