Worst in the World: Brothers of Destruction vs KroniK-Unforgiven 2001

Oh boy, this match is quite the infamous one. KroniK, the team of Bryan Clark & Brain Adams, better known as Adam Bomb and Crush in the WWF respectively, were put together in WCW in 2000 and held the WCW Tag Team Championships on two occasions. Despite not being picked up by WWE after the buying of WCW, they eventually got signed and were put right into a feud with the Brothers of Destruction Undertaker and Kane. It was this feud that ended their WWE careers just as they began. The feud led to their infamous match at Unforgiven 2001 where they did such a bad job, it was their last WWE appearance, ending their run at under a month. Let's get into this. KroniK rushes out of the ring to brawl with the Brothers of Destruction on the outside during their entrance, with Adams fighting Undertaker and Clark fighting Kane. Undertaker sends Adams in the ring and hits a big boot followed by a leg drop. Undertaker & Kane continue to beatdown Adams before Adams hits a backbreaker o...

Worst in the World: Tyson Tomko vs Stevie Richards-Unforgiven 2004

So uh...this is a match. Yeah, there's not a lot I can say about this. It's Tyson Tomko, aka that big dude who used to follow Christian around in WWE & TNA, against Stevie Richards, who didn't really do anything in WWE. How does this come about? Well, brace yourselves, because this gets a little weird. Back in 2004, Victoria was winning matches with the help of a mystery woman. That woman was Stevie Richards in drag. At Unforgiven, after losing to Women's Champion Trish Stratus, Trish's bodyguard Tyson Tomko tried to attack Victoria, only to get attacked by the mystery woman. After "she" ran off, Tomko grabbed a mic and demanded "she" come out and fight him. So, with that being said, let's get into this. Richards slaps Tomko to start, only for Tomko to knock him down and take off his wig & jacket. Tomko then proceeds to strip Richards down to his underwear. After almost FIVE WHOLE MINUTES of Tomko just battering Richards, Richard...

Worst in the World: The Kennel From Hell Match-Unforgiven 1999

Photo credit: thesportster.com I'm just going to be completely honest: the Attitude Era is by far the most overrated period in wrestling history. I'm not saying the Attitude Era was bad, it was amazing, and the hottest wrestling ever was. What I'm saying is is that people tend to look at it with rose-tinted glasses. Guys like Stone Cold, The Rock, and Mick Foley are easily some of the biggest stars in wrestling history, but things like Hawk's addiction issues being used in storyline, the Pretty Mean Sisters (P.M.S), and Mae Young giving birth to a hand are generally left out of the conversation about the Attitude Era and ignored like they never happened. It seems like people just try to ignore any bad thing that happened during that time, which is a huge contrast to today's wrestling where if something is bad, they'll never forget it. You can't just ignore the bad parts of an era and act like it was perfect. There is one match from the Attitude Era, how...
