    Reach for the (Minus) Stars: Sky's Collection of Bad Matches

    It's called "STORYTELLING". Something wrestlers in the 80's who lacked the in-ring ability of today's stars were great at. And you talk about the celebrities, having the "Where's the beef" lady is a pretty bad, but some of the others were moderately famous back then. Meanwhile today WWE is...

    Finally someone else who gets how f'ed up the Billy Gunn/Road Dogg switcheroo was. Not only was Billy Gunn going for the I-C Title and Road Dogg going for the Hardcore Title, Gunn was involved in the Ryan Shamrock love quadrilateral(?) angle.

    WrestleMania 11: how about turning the Smoking Gunns heel ahead of time and them facing Allied Powers for the titles. Then have Owen Hart face Bret Hart in a submission match. Also, Undertaker's streak wasn't really a think back then. He was just randomly winning WrestleMania matches until...

    WrestleMania 9: I strongly believe that the tag team championship match would have gone on last if they weren't planning on Hogan winning the WWF title. Of course Hogan couldn't take a pinfall against either DiBiase or IRS, and Beefcake, being Hogan's buddy, couldn't either. Bob Backlund is a...

    WrestleMania 2: George "The Animal" Steel was popular, especially with kids, Macho Man was a new I-C Champion, it worked to give him the title match. Sure, it would have been better with a Savage vs Santana rematch, though. Mr. T had more legitimacy in a wrestling/boxing ring than many celebrity...

    You go from guys getting beaten nearly to death to a guy getting beaten and still getting up.

    At first, reading this, I was expecting it to end up like the ECW Mass Transit Incident, but being the promoter's fault this time. I can't watch any of that. I'm disturbed just reading it. I owned an XPW video tape back in the day but did not enjoy it. I own nearly every WWE-produced ECW DVD...

    I've GOT to watch that battle royal now. Sounds too ridiculous to pass on.

    When was Ezekiel Jackson a babyface? More importantly, WHY was Ezekiel Jackson a babyface.

    WrestleMania "matches" I skip the most are this, the Miller Light Catfight Girls at XIX, Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler, Beth Phoenix & Melina vs Maria & Ashley at XXIV, Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal at 25, and Firefly Funhouse "Match".

    So Network vs DVD for this match? Network doesn't have Ice-T (doesn't he just basically say "Pimpin' ain't easy" on repeat), but Network also doesn't have blurred out WWF logos which made up the W in the WrestleMania logo that year, so they were everywhere.

    Wow, there were quite a few ants. Was there also Sign Guy Ant, Big Dick Ant, Dances With Ants, and Ant Ant? And you mention the low ceiling venue, I went to an indie show once that was at a bar. There was an I-beam hanging over the center of the ring and anytime the wrestlers ran from corner...

    I think big ticket matches are more likely to win Worst Match of the Year than smaller matches. Especially when you count the time elapsed from when the match took place to when the awards were voted on people may have forgotten about a match like Torrie Wilson vs Dawn Marie, especially since no...

    So not only did New Japan hire these two losers, they put them in a match with each other??? But, since it's Japan, no doubt Dave Meltzer gave this match 5 stars.

    I think the first time I saw PN News was on WWE's Best of Clash of Champions DVD in a Battle Royal, I saw him in the ring and didn't know who he was (I had heard his name previously but had never seen him). I saw this fat white guy in a neon yellow spandex bodysuit and was like "what the fuck is...

    I just rewatched the Chamber of Horrors Match and it's one of those rare matches that not only is the very concept bad but the execution is bad as well. One of the things that makes this match hard to follow is that you have 8 men brawling but with the giant chair and cage in the ring limiting...
