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

    Entry #330 Yokozuna vs. King Mabel WWF In Your House 4: Great White North - October 22, 1995 And so we come to the end of King Mabel's adventure. Or not, but we've seen the end already. And the Survivor Series match is apparently fine ignoring the fact that Mabel legit hurt Taker, second major...

    Entry #329 Diesel (c) vs. King Mabel for the WWF Championship WWF SummerSlam - August 27, 1995 Of course, per tradition, King of the Ring builds up to the big title match at SummerSlam! And the champ at the time was Diesel, so we get this! I can't imagine this will creep into the positive stars...

    Entry #328 Mabel vs. Savio Vega King of the Ring 1995 Final Match WWF King of the Ring - June 25, 1995 So we go straight to the final, as Mabel faces a man who's wrestling for the fourth time this night. This would be a great underdog story, but we know the way this is going. Let's endure it...

    Entry #327 The Undertaker vs. Mabel King of the Ring 1995 First Round Match WWF King of the Ring - June 25, 1995 King of the Ring's fast approaching, and it's taking place in beautiful, progressive [REDACTED] again this year. So I'd be completely mental if I didn't take a look back at the worst...

    Entry #326 Kane vs. "Kane" WWE Vengeance - June 25, 2006 Oh yeah, it's May 19, isn't it? Which reminds me, there's another instance where a Brother of Destruction fought an impostor version of himself. May 19 is an important date for Kane, ostensibly as it was the release date of See No Evil...

    Entry #325 The Undertaker vs. "The Undertaker" WWF SummerSlam - August 29, 1994 Okay, so. The Undertaker had disappeared, but there were reports he'd been sighted again. Not least Ted DiBiase, who took it upon himself to reveal Taker was under his employ. Though it seemed Taker had gotten...

    Entry #324 Yokozuna (c) vs. The Undertaker Casket Match for the WWF Championship WWF Royal Rumble - January 22, 1994 I'm very aware of the approaching death of the international WWE Network in favour of whatever the hell Netflix is going to do, so I'd better get a bit of a shift on, hadn't I...

    Entry #323 Konnan vs. Cibernetico Lumberjack Match AAA Rey de Reyes - March 12, 2010 I actually went back to the wheel for this one. Been a while since I touched the wheel, and it's shown me a match that I didn't know about! This is a match between Konnan and Ciber from AAA in 2010. Given that...

    Entry #322 Mr. America vs. Roddy Piper WWE Judgment Day - May 18, 2003 And so we come to the end of this Hogan/Piper retrospective, with the end of their shared story. And it came here, where Hogan's good friend, the very unrelated Mr. America, faced Piper, who was managing Sean O'Haire...

    Entry #321 Bret Hart vs. Will Sasso WCW Monday Nitro - February 15, 1999 I was going to move on to the sad little coda to the Hogan/Piper saga... but apparently this Nitro features Bret Hart vs. Will Sasso! A wrestler vs. a comedian! How can that work? Bret had clashed with the cast of MADtv a...

    Entry #320 Hollywood Hogan (c) vs. Roddy Piper for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship WCW Monday Nitro - February 15, 1999 There was one more singles match between Hogan and Piper on WCW... and it was on a random Nitro. Let's try to make sense of this. The nWo Elite are coming in, Hogan's...

    Entry #319 Hollywood Hogan/Kevin Nash vs. Roddy Piper/The Giant Baseball Bat on a Pole WCW Spring Stampede - April 19, 1998 Of course, it wasn't over, as Hogan and Piper would continue to clash on PPV. This was part of the nWo's gradual implosion into Hollywood and Wolfpac sides. Hogan wasn't...

    Entry #318 Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper Steel Cage Match WCW Halloween Havoc - October 26, 1997 And now we get to the reason why I'm looking at Hogan/Piper do the thing again and again! Age in the Cage! The match of theirs that earned a WON Worst Match of the Year award. And, as it turns...

    Entry #317 Hollywood Hogan (c) vs. Roddy Piper for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship WCW SuperBrawl VII - February 23, 1997 After that surprisingly non-awful Hogan/Piper affair, we go to the Cow Palace in San Francisco. And since it's in San Francisco, we get shots of Alcatraz, where Piper...

    Entry #316 Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper WCW Starrcade - December 29, 1996 "Sky, don't you ever get tired of bashing Hulk Hogan matches?" No. Shut up. I do know that he's the most covered wrestler in this thread by some distance, and this can only extend that lead. But really, a Hogan match...

    Entry #315 Yokozuna vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan WWF Rampage Bercy - April 8, 1993 As it turns out, there's another bad match from France that got filmed... and made it on to a relatively easily-accessible classic home video release! This was from the same tour as the WWF UK Rampage show (which, as...

    Entry #314 Andre the Giant vs. Junkyard Dog WWF from Paris, France - October 7, 1988 So, how about that Backlash show from France? Hell of an atmosphere. I will be forever disappointed when I don't hear "simplement deux" after every two-count from now on. I checked, and it's the first WWE show...

    Entry #313 Scott Hall vs. Larry Zbyszko WCW Souled Out - January 24, 1998 The other name I heard was Scott Hall, or rather Razor Ramon, so here's a bad Scott Hall match. It's with Larry Z in 1998. A guy who was supposedly being set up for a World Title shot feuding with a commentator who talked...

    Entry #312 Crash Holly (c) vs. The British Bulldog Hardcore Match for the WWF Hardcore Championship WWF Insurrextion - May 6, 2000 In the chatbox I asked people to name wrestlers who'd worked for WWE. One of the answers I got was Max Moon, but there are as far as I can tell no bad Paul Diamond...
