cwoy2j Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 On the heels of the first card you attended thread, what was the worst show you've been to? Let's leave out local yokel promotions and focus on the major feds. Only one word can sum up the worst card I've attended...Yapapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I guess... Royal Rumble '99? The undercard was pretty crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't remember the full card, but I know the two main matches with the biggest names were Shawn Michaels vs. Bob Backlund for the IC title and the main event was Big Boss Man vs. Nailz in a cage match. I believe a Koko B Ware vs Tim Horner match and Tatanka vs. Repo Man match also helped fill out the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I went to a wrestling show in Newhall that had the guy that complained about Demott before WWE picked him up. He wrestled in Jeff Hardy facepaint and an Edge jacket in the first match. He left the jacket at ringside. Nobody picked it up. Everyone tripped over his fucking jacket the rest of the night. Demott was probably right this whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The one and only Pro Wrestling FUSION show in Elizabeth NJ, the one co-promoted by Evan Karagas and the Maximo's.You know, where the Maximo's put themselves over Ultimo Dragon? The one where they also advertised Mitsaharu Ogawa and Yoshinaki Misawa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I almost wonder if Raws should count. I did go to the Higher Power one though. I guess... Royal Rumble '99? The undercard was pretty crap. I really loathe the crowd for that show. You can see the pan over and it shows why we never want the Attitude Era ever again. It just appealed to the worst, self-aggrandizing scum. I mean, not you, but you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 First one that to mind was the Raw right after New Year's Revolution 07. The main things I remember were the god-awful "Rosie"/"Donald" match, and segments leading up to it. Also the main event was a sub 2-minute Cena/Khali match. From the results, it doesn't appear I forgot any hidden gems. http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/070108.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I attended a Nitro that was just total crap, really. The opening was a Vince Russo promo in which he talked about "your hero Bill Goldberg" (Which was confusing to us because he'd been a heel the week before) and it was the day after that "going off script" three-way with Goldberg, Nash and Steiner. Here's the card -The Franchise/Reno vs Kidman/Vito -Lance Storm vs Mike Awesome (With interference from Karl Ouellette and Elix Skipper_ -Jeff Jarrett vs Booker T (With Goldberg interference) -Karl Ouellette vs Norman Smiley -Rey Mysterio/Juventud Guerrera vs Vampiro/Great Muta (With Sting interference) -Elix Skipper vs Kwee Wee -Sting vs Vampiro vs The Demon vs Great Muta The main event was Kevin Nash talking to a cardboard cut-out of Scott Hall until Booker T and Scott Steiner came out and Goldberg gave Midajah a Jackhammer backstage and everyone just kinda sauntered away. The matches were pretty bad. The Russo-ness was over-the-top. The crowd was deflated because Bret Hart had shown up the night before in Vancouver and WCW officials were telling people waiting for tickets that Hart was here tonight and he never showed up. But, you know what, I can't complain because I got to see Lance Storm (Who was my favourite wrestler in the world at the time), Mike Awesome, Rey Mysterio, Scott Steiner, Juventud Guerrera and The Great Freakin' Muta live in one evening.

cool arrow Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 In 2000 I went to a tv taping for a local group in Indianapolis called WCWO (which originally stood for World Championship Wrestling Outlaws but I assume they got a cease & desist letter and so the first W started standing for Wild). Said taping was held at a Holiday Inn. I remember very little about the matches, other than the best worker on the show was a 130-pound black kid doing an Urkel gimmick. Oh, and there were lots of mullets. And not just in the ring, either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Oh, i just remembered that I once went to a Thunder taping that I left after only about an hour in the middle of the show. I think we just walked in without any tickets, walked around the arena while they were shooting the show, watched a few "matches", and decided to leave because it was so bad. I don't remember one match from the event and am pretty sure we finally left while a Kevin Nash promo was going on in the ring. Pretty sure that was also the last time there was any sort of WCW show in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a taping in San Diego around 2001 with Sweetser and another friend of ours, and we were surrounded by 8 year old children swearing like sailors. We ended up moving to an empty portion of the arena to get away from the obnoxiousness. The only other person sitting in the area? A pre-debut John Cena.

Jingus Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Dean wins. Thread over. (Although, I have seriously worked several bottom-of-the-barrel indy shows which had matches just as bad as that one; sadly fortunately, they didn't make tape.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 a few years ago, some friends of mine went to a Raw taping.

J.T. Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I went to this. is this from the infamous Midlothian Worst Show Ever? IIRC, either you or Hangman Tim uploaded that entire show to the old board. It is no coincidence that the old board died as did the hard drive of the computer I downloaded the vid to. It is the pro wrestling equivalent of the Cursed Videotape from the movie, RING. GXW's first show in Prince George was pretty horrible. Not Midlothian bad, but if the guys in the show were any greener, they would've taken in carbon dioxide and produced oxygen. Second show was light years better because Neil Sharkey is awesome. It also helps when your main event consists of Da New Bloodz and Standards & Practices beating the shit out of each other. I also went to a show in Gastonia, NC that was very close to being Midlothian bad. The dude working the Ricky Morton's cousin gimmick looked more like a Mulkey than he did a Morton. I paid five American dollars and bought popcorn so there was no way I was walking out before the end of the main event... which had a Brody ending AND a Dusty finish... ugh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd have to go with the Raw the night after SummerSlam 2002 at MSG with the godawful HHH-Taker match that finished high in the Observer worst match of the year voting. For major companies I've been pretty fortunate to mostly see good shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It replaced wrestling fans with disrespectful pieces of shit Does the Hart Foundation/Steve Austin feud count as Attitude Era? I've been to some absolutely terrible indy cards. Especially in the late 90s. It does, and I have a specific story. Apparently at a card at the Pond a fan decided to bring eggs to hit Bret Hart. He throws an egg and misses and hits some other fans instead in what must have been a horrible throw. I didn't see it. I also didn't see the guy's buddy telling him I did it. But I was a big, scary looking dude. So I found out about all of this when my friend told me "hey those guys were totally going to fight you until they saw how big you were." Yeah bro thanks for the heads up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVanderlay Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wasn't there an indy show with a bunch of ECW guys and after a few matches, they stopped the show and Axl Rotten came out and announced that the promoter had fled and stiffed everyone on pay, and they passed around a hat to collect money for the workers?
