Worst in the World: Rick Rude vs Jake Roberts-WrestleMania IV

WrestleMania IV; One of the biggest clusterf*cks in WWE history. After the infamous "Two Hebner's" incident went down on The Main Event, where Andre the Giant pinned Hulk Hogan to win the WWF Championship with the help of an imposter referee Earl Hebner, trading places with his brother Dave. Andre then sold the title to Ted Dibiase, only for president Jack Tunney to declare the sale invalid and make the title vacant. The new champion would be crowned in a 14-man tournament held entirely at WrestleMania IV featuring some of the biggest names in the WWF. Hogan. Savage. Andre. Dibiase...Dino Bravo...Unfortunately, this made the card go especially long, as the fans had to sit through 16 matches in about 3 and a half hours. And because of that, the majority of the matches went very quick, with the main event and tournament final not even making it past nine and a half minutes.

Worst in the World: Ultimate Warrior vs Hercules-WrestleMania IV

I hate these kinds of matches. Not because they're outrageously bad, but because they're pretty much...nothing.

Before I start, I just want to point out that Hercules is by far one of the most pale people in history, and this is coming from one of the most pale people in history. Rumor has it that Hercules didn't actually die, but he dyed his hair orange and changed his name to Sheamus. I'm not saying that's true, but I've never seen Hercules and Sheamus in the same place. Just saying. Man, first Summer Rae...
