Worst in the World: Fall Brawl '98's Five Matches of Doom

Usually, when I do entries in the Worst in the World, I'll cover a single match. Sometimes , I'll bust out a double feature . One time I took on three matches . Hell, I've even gone for four at once . But today, I'm going all out. Five matches in one post. And all of them come from Fall Brawl 1998, quite possibly the worst top-to-bottom wrestling show that has ever been put on by a major company. The average star rating for the matches on this show from Dave Meltzer is below a quarter of a star. The whole show; less than a quarter of a star.

I'm going with Kalisto, because I think it would be a terrible idea to take the title off of him at the moment, especially if they're going to put it back on Del Rio Main Card 1. AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho Winner: AJ Styles I know I've said this before (like, a l...
