Worst in the World: Pat Patterson vs Gerald Brisco-King of the Ring 2000

By
If you've never seen or heard anything about this match, then the above image might be very confusing to you. So let me just clear some things up real quick. No, this is not some kind of weird fever dream. You are not hallucinating, this is something that really happened in real life. This is the first ever (and only) "Hardcore Evening Gown match", contested by two men in their fifties for the Hardcore Championship. How could the WWE have possible thought of this? Well, let's go into a brief history lesson.
Back in the late 90s, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco were part of the Corporation as Vince McMahon's "stooges". They were a duo of bumbling heels who would provide some very funny moments over the years. This was not one of them. You see, it all started when Brisco won the Hardcore Championship from Crash Holly with the help of Patterson in 2000. While celebrating in the back, however, Patterson poured champagne in Brisco's eyes and broke a bottle over his head before pinning him and winning the title.
So where do the evening gowns come in? Well, as a way of avoiding Brisco, Patterson dressed up as a woman and hid in the women's locker room. Brisco responded by dressing up as a woman himself and going in to get him. This led to McMahon booking them in a Hardcore Evening Gown at King of the Ring 2000. It's pretty obvious that there was no Wellness Policy in 2000 because the writers must have been on every drug imaginable to think this was a good idea. Well, I guess it's time to look at Vinne Mac's Drag Race, this is the Hardcore Evening Gown match. Let's get into it...God help me.
The two hug before the match starts, only for Patterson to knee Brisco in the junk. The first move of the match, everybody. After that, Patterson pulls out a banana and shoves it in Brisco's mouth.
Patterson then reaches under his dress and pulls out a Maxi-Pad and shoves it in Brisco's mouth.
JR says that this hideous. He's right.
Patterson pulls up his dress again to reveal big red granny panties and tries to do a stinkface, but Brisco low blows him. The fans are having absolutely none of this, as they boo the match out of the building. This is not good heat...this is the Roman Reigns kind of heat. Brisco whips Patterson into the corner and gives him a Bronco Buster
I need to bleach my eyes after this. The two start tearing each other's dresses off before Crash Holly runs down with a trash can. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that Crash got a MASSIVE pop when he ran down. Like, probably the biggest pop of his career. It's a shame it's more than likely because he's saving us from this eyesore of a match. Crash beats down both men before smashing the can over Patterson's head and making the cover. Thanks to the 24/7 rule, Crash gets the three and the win to win the Hardcore Championship and end this nightmare. But of course, not before the bra & panty clad Patterson & Brisco fight on the entrance ramp. I've already used it three times in this post, but you know what, LET'S GO FOR FOUR!

The Verdict

There are somethings that should not be seen. This is one of them. This is, without a shred of doubt, the most unpleasant experience I've ever had watching wrestling. This makes Christy Hemme vs the Big Fat Oily Guy look like Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker, It was all just gross gags and ugly visuals from start to finish. And normally I would give a match a worse rating for the interference, but in this case, the interference was absolutely necessary. God bless you, Crash Holly. Just...God bless you.

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: 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: 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: Nia Jax's Worst Matches

By
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: Eric Young & Shark Boy vs Generation Me-TNA Destination X 2011

By
Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. Throughout the late 2000s and 2010s, few tag teams made as much noise on the independent scene as the Young Bucks. Really breaking out at a time when WWE made their tag division a borderline afterthought, Matt & Nick Jackson were almost unmatched in terms of elite matches on the indys, most notably in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla & Ring of Honor before joining New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Bullet Club, becoming mainstays of the group as it reached its peak throughout the mid-2010s. Sure, their style hasn't endeared them to old-school wrestling fans, but you can't deny their impact on wrestling. And with the arrival of All Elite Wrestling in 2019, North American fans would finally get to see the Young Bucks on national television for the first time... However... In what has become somewhat of a footnote in their careers, the Young Bucks had been on a nationally televised wrestlin...
