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

Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. One of the most common storytelling devices in wrestling is the classic ref bump-pinfall combo.

Now, granted, that number isn't as bad as it seems, as all but one of them is under 10 minutes (even if that one is over 15 minutes.) But that's still double the most matches I'd ever covered in one post. However, I'm up for the challenge, so here we go. Scott Hall would make his return to the WWF after nearly six years away at 2002's No Way Out. Alongside Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash, the nWo was officially par...
