Worst in the World: That Match From the Cody Rhodes Story

Click the link here to vote in the poll and help decide the next edition of the Worst in the World. I'll be honest, the only reason I gave this entry that title is because I'm 99.9% sure Google would not be cool with me titling something "The Fuck on Me Match." On paper, this match doesn't seem like one that would really stand out. A six-man tag match pitting Daniel Bryan, the original Sin Cara, and Ezekiel Jackson against Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr., and Wade Barrett on a random episode of SmackDown (The June 17, 2011 episode, t doesn't even sound too bad in general, let alone an all-time bad match. Sure, there's a pretty obvious botched finish, but that's about it. The match itself probably would've stayed a random multi-man midcard match, had it not been for one of the participants, Cody Rhodes, recounting his experience of "the worst match of his career." Cody first told this story during a YouTube livestream in 2017 alongside his t...

Worst in the World: The Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber-Elimination Chamber 2015

(Note: Hey everyone. Since I ended up posting a week late after my wisdom teeth removal, I decided to post the next edition now instead of after two weeks to get back on my normal schedule. Hope you enjoy!)      Special thanks to camilo jaramillo for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below. Man, the Elimination Chamber is a cool match. Remember how we almost lost it for good? Like the Royal Rumble, the Elimination Chamber is easily one of WWE's most successful gimmick matches. While it's not as popular as Hell in a Cell, Money in the Bank, or TLC, the Chamber has firmly etched itself into WWE's lore since debuting in 2002, so much so that in 2010, it got its own self-titled pay-per-view dedicated to it, replacing the long-standing No Way Out as the final pay-per-view before WrestleMania. However, after only five events, WWE shelved the Elimination Chamber event in 2015 for the non-gimmicked Fastla...

12 Terrible Things That Happened To The Intercontinental Championship (That Are Worse Than a Diva Winning It)

WWE.com On New Year's Day, WWE.com put up an article titled " 10 things we want to see in 2016 " with the above picture of Sasha Banks with the Intercontinental Championship as the picture on the first page. This goes with #9 on the list; "A Diva wins a male championship". While this would of course be impossible due to WWE's views on male-on-female violence, it would be cool to see someone like Banks win a male title, as she has shown to be a better wrestler than some of the men on the roster, and has experience with intergender matches (like this one, where she says her future fiancee has a tiny dick and gets kicked in the mouth by said future fiancee ). In an era where people like Candice LeRae can fight in hardcore matches with three other male wrestlers and we have independent pay-per-views where every match is intergender, it seems wrestling has grown to accept intergender wrestling as another kind of wrestling, instead of just "watch this g...
