(Special thanks to Frost for suggesting the idea for this post. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.) On October 8, 1992, Midway Games Inc. released Mortal Kombat, a fighting game, into North American arcades. Created by Ed Boon & John Tobias, the game was a massive success, quickly becoming one of the most popular & highest-grossing arcade games in the United States in 1993. In the 30 years since, Mortal Kombat has spawned a massive franchise with 14 video games, three live-action feature films, and multiple other pieces of media, making it the best-selling fighting game franchise worldwide and one of the highest-grossing media franchises ever at over $5 billion total. Among the characters that stand out in the franchise is Sub-Zero, an assassin with the ability to generate & control ice as a weapon that debuted in the original game. Why am I telling you all this? Well, one company that took notice of the success o...

So I made, for lack of a better term, a goof...Last year, I got a comment from an anonymous user requesting I cover Konnan vs Stevie Ray from Slamboree 1999, a rematch from their match at World War 3 1998 that I'd already covered ....and then I forgot about it. Maybe it was because they accidentally said the match was at Uncensored 1999 and when I looked to find it on the card it wasn't there (and then I didn't look further than that), but whatever it was, it completely slipped my mind. If you're the person who recommended this match, I apologize for accidentally ignoring it, here is my consolation. Konnan and Stevie Ray had a bland, boring match at World War 3, but WCW decided that once wasn't enough for these two, so they got another pay-per-view match at Slamboree. This time, however, it wouldn't be part of the nWo in-fighting angle, as nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac had joined back together following the Fingerpoke of Doom earlier that year. Konnan, however, ...

You know what, I'm just going to copy-and-paste exactly what I put the last time a non-wrestler was in a match: "I've said this more than a few times on this blog, but since it has come up again, I'll say it again; NON-WRESTLERS SHOULD NOT WRESTLE. THEY ARE NOT GOOD AT IT."-Me, 2016 But unfortunately, there are countless examples of untrained non-wrestlers coming into wrestling promotions and stepping in the ring with the wrestlers. In this match, we see Pro Football Hall of Famer and at the time defensive end for the Green Bay Packers Reggie White face off against former football player Steve "Mongo" McMichael. This might seem similar to the famous Wrestlemania XII match between Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawerence Taylor. The problem is that Taylor had one of the most agile and underrated big men in wrestling to work with, and White has the guy who rivals Paul Roma as the worst Horseman of all time. Let's get into this. The two circle each other ...
