The Most Boring Match!!! (main event match)

[BodySlam]

OK this is a thread for THE MOST BORING MAIN EVENT MATCH you've ever seen from either WWF/E or WCW or TNA

could be a main event at a P.P.V or a house show or live on TV???

[Haze]

First one that comes to mind is Batista vs. Big Show for the ECW title.

[RGWhat316]

Lesnar/Goldberg from WM 20, and even as recent as HHH/Kozlov at Survivor Series until Edge got involved were both pretty bad.

[Mr. C]

Shawn Michaels vs. Umaga

[Volare]

John Cena vs Khali

[Fignuts]

Antonio Inoki vs Masa Saito- Abndoned Island match.

[Haze]

Actually The Rock vs Goldberg at Backlash was really bad.

[Fignuts]

Pretty much anything with goldberg is really bad.

[Triple Naitch]

Hogan/Sting was more disappointing than boring, but still...

[#1-norm-fan]

Hogan vs. The Giant at the first NWO Souled Out has always stood out for me as the most boring main event I can remember. Ridiculously terrible atmosphere, no energy whatsoever, awful wrestling match, lame ending... and it was on PPV.

[The Fonz]

Batista vs Big Show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Really...who the fuck thought THAT was a good idea?

[Nicky Fives]

Hulk Hogan/Undertaker.....Judgment Day 2002.... absolutely horrible

[NeanderCarl]

It would be better if you restricted this to PPV... far more offensive to have a boring or lame main event at a show that television viewing fans have forked out extra money to see rather than on 'free' TV.

(House shows are another matter, arguably even more offensive to the ticket buying fan but at the same time, you have to appreciate that short cuts and low work rates are more likely at an untelevised event, when these guys are wrestling so regularly and saving themselves for the shows that actually 'count'.)

[NeanderCarl]

Undertaker vs Undertaker, SummerSlam 94, just HOW boring was that match?? Yikes.

Speaking of 1994, WWF World heavyweight champion Bret 'Hitman' Hart vs Mister Bob Backlund, Submission Match, Survivor Series. It was the billed main event, even though it didn't close the show, and it was lame.

[Fox]

Lesnar/Goldberg from WM 20, and even as recent as HHH/Kozlov at Survivor Series until Edge got involved were both pretty bad.

Goldberg/Lesnar wasn't the main event.

[Fox]

Batista vs Big Show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Really...who the fuck thought THAT was a good idea?

That match definitely does not belong here. The workrate was terrible, but the fans made that match entertaining.

My vote goes to Ric Flair vs. Hollywood Hogan at Uncensored 1999 in a First Blood Steel Cage match. I was a mark back then and I'd bought into the whole "barb wire on top of the cage" deal they had running up to it. In retrospect, it was just a way to get fans to believe in two 50 year olds fighting it out for the big gold belt.

Worst match I've seen. Absolutely plodding and it ended with Flair pinning Hogan. Yes, PINNING him in what was billed and touted as a First Blood Match. Terrible.

Kevin Nash vs. Hulk Hogan at Road Wild 1999 is also up there. Fucking awful match with a total move count of 6 (yes, that is combined).

undertaker vs the dudley boza at the 2004 great american bash

[NeanderCarl]

Yeah the Concrete Crypt match was craptacular, but not especially BORING.

Matches can be absolute bollocks without being even slightly boring.

Wasn't this the match with that awkward "double turn?" Didn't AA throw in a tire iron or something?

So happy I got PPV for free in those days, couldn't imagine how I would have felt if I had paid for that shit.

[SuperSlim]

Actually The Rock vs Goldberg at Backlash was really bad.

I didn't think that match was too terrible. Albeit it was rather slow and moves were very limited to make sure that Goldberg wouldn't be gassed and could keep up.

Rock sold everything well.

[Fox]

Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan from Judgment Day 2002 was pretty terrible.

[Stickman]

Booker T vs Buff Bagwell on RAw.

[Juan]

I could list a bunch of matches from the late 80's, early 90's

[blake639raw]

Diesel vs. King Mabel - SummerSlam 95

[Rammsteinmad]

Actually The Rock vs Goldberg at Backlash was really bad.

The Rock was pretty funny in this match.

"You are in trouble now!" :lol:

[Skippord]

Kozlov/HHH at survivor series

god awful

[CSL]

First one that comes to mind is Batista vs. Big Show for the ECW title.

Whaaaaaaaaaat??? That was one of the most entertaining matches on TV that year. It had to have been some kind of rib from Vince on the 2 of them. I mean, yeah, the match sucked but watching Batista fall apart from almost the second he comes through the curtain in front of a live audience because he didn't know how to adapt was genius (His idea of adapting: Go OTT with the shouting, chest pounding etc and taking the arm out of the tie up. Cause ya know, they wanna see wrestling moves. To see how it's done properly, see John Cena ONS '06, although tbf his circumstances weren't doomed to fail from go) The crowd made the entire thing though. "CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen in wrestling

Where the fuck are these crowds today :(

[CSL]

RoH, just with the Dick-O-Meter turned up by about a 1000% and the wit and charm eliminated completely

[Vastardikai]

:'(

Where the fuck are these crowds today :(

last sighting of a crowd like this was in Augusta, GA, in time for December 2 Dismember. "Where's my refund" was among the chants for the main event.
