Worst in the World: Kevin Nash vs Sid Vicious-Starrcade 1999

One of the most common storytelling devices in wrestling is the classic ref bump-pinfall combo. It's pretty simple; the referee gets knocked out by one of the wrestlers (either intentionally or unintentionally), the babyface hits a finisher and makes the cover, he gets the visual three count, but not the victory because the referee is still down and can't see the pin. It's an easy way to extend the match while giving the match some more heat, and plenty of great matches have done this to great effect. WCW and Vince Russo, however, decided to put their own spin on that trope, leading to one of the absolute dumbest endings to a match you'll ever see. That ending came at Starrcade 1999 in the "Powerbomb match" between Kevin Nash and Sid Vicious.
The match is simple, the first man to hit the Powerbomb wins and is the true "Master of the Powerbomb." Is it Nash with the Jackknife? Or is it Sid with the...Powerbomb...Either way, the match was a bust, earning a negative one-star rating from Dave Meltzer, and currently holds a show-low 1.14/10 average on Cagematch.net. Like the Sting-Rick Steiner match I covered two weeks ago, this match is far less infamous for the actual match, and more for the incredibly dumb way it ends. Let's take a look.
The two lock up to start, with neither man gaining the upper hand before Nash knees Sid in the gut. Nash punches Sid into the corner, where he knees him in the gut three times. Nash then elbows Sid three times before going back to the punches. Nash whips Sid into the ropes, knocking him down with a clothesline when he bounces back. Nash makes the cover, and even though this a match where the only way to win is to hit a Powerbomb, referee Slick Johnson counts it. Sid kicks out at two. What are we doing?
Nash whips Sid back to the ropes and goes for the clothesline again, but Sid ducks it and kicks him in the gut. Sid goes for the Powerbomb, but Nash quickly low blows him to avoid it. Sid rolls out of the ring, with Nash following him out. Nash goes for the Jackknife on the outside, but Sid pushes him away before kicking him. Sid rams Nash into the ring apron before throwing him into the guard rail. Sid punches & kicks Nash before throwing him into the guard rail. Sid then grabs a chair and delivers a soft chair shot to the back.
Sid throws Nash back in the ring and whips him to the ropes, catching him with a clothesline when he bounces back. Sid follows up with a leg drop before punching away at Nash. Sid calls for the Powerbomb...and then picks him up for a bodyslam. What? Sid then tries to start a "Powerbomb" chant, but no one chants it. Nash plays dirty, poking Sid in the eye before attempting to whip him into the corner. Sid reverses it, sending Nash into the corner and inadvertently squashing the referee. Get ready for some dumb shit that's about to happen.
Sid quickly follows up with the Powerbomb, but the referee doesn't see it. Sid tries to revive the ref, only for Jeff Jarrett to run down, guitar in hand. Jarrett smashes the guitar over Sid's head, clearing it out of the ring before waking Nash up. Nash goes to pick Sid up for the Jackknife, but his back gives out and he can't get Sid up. He tries again, but still can't. Instead, Nash picks the referee up and tells him he hit the Jackknife. Now, if pro wrestling has taught you anything, it would be that the referee has to actually see the person score the pinfall, get the tap out, or do whatever is needed to actually win the match. Obviously, the referee would not just end the match because Nash said he Powerbombed Sid...
...

The Verdict

I'm dead serious, that's how the match ends. Kevin Nash tells the referee he hit a Powerbomb, and the referee just goes with it. Unbelievably stupid. This is a slow, boring brawl with two moves, one even remotely entertaining spot, and one of the stupidest finishes you'll ever see. Not even funny stupid, just obscenely stupid. Avoid this match, there is no enjoyment whatsoever from this match.

    I have a match from Raw May 4 2015 that saw a victory happen because one of the participants feared plastic spiders.

    R Truth vs Stardust

    Just wanted to point out that Bret Hart vs Mr McMahon took place at WrestleMania XXVI (26), not XVI (16). I’m assuming it was just a small oversight on your part.

      Thank you, I totally missed that. Honestly, I think I made that same mistake on the picture when I first posted that post. I must've made the same mistake in the rankings and never noticed or fixed it.

    Well with Wrestlemania 40 around the corner here's a Wrestlemania that showcased the worst aspects of The New Generation Era and home to a match Bret Hart would call the worst of his career: Wrestlemania 11

    Lex Luger/British Bulldog vs Blu Twins
    Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy
    Owen Hart/Yokozuna vs Smoking Gunns
    Bret Hart vs Bob Backlund
    Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigelow

      Taker vs Bundy has been requested before, but I'll add these new ones to the list. Thanks for the suggestions!

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...
