Worst burial ever

[Rock Bottom]

What was the worst burial you've ever seen in wrestling? Not talking casket match, talking about a wrestler just destroying the credibility of another, whether it be promo, match, etc. And I don't mean baby/heel heat, I mean bury, to where people look at them and LOL and remember them by how bad they got buried.

For the sake of the obvious, I have to go with Austin over Roberts. I'm sure guys like Goldberg/Rock have plenty as well.

HHH buried Scott Steiner pretty badly.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kane once buried Undertaker alive (Survivor Series '03, I believe):shifty:

[Rock Bottom]

Yokozuna vs. 1-2-3 Kid.

[Outsider]

The Undertaker/DDP fued during the invasion

[Rock Bottom]

LOL yeah that was pretty horrible.

[The Mackem]

Pretty much everyone who came to the WWF from WCW. Booker T and DDP stand out the most.

Terry Taylor as the Red Rooster

Hogan at Wrestlemania 9; buried Yokozuna and Bret Hart

Nash and Hogan against WCW

Nash when he won the title kinda buried both Backlund and Bret Hart

Any of the Rock's promos where he insults the wrestler because he was that good at it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Christian pretty much got buried in the fold the instant he hit SmackDown! back in '05. That being said, if ECW folds and nothing takes it's place, these days I feel Christian would be better used on SD!, even though I'm sure a lot of folks may see him as a long time staple of RAW, to which I'd say, "nah, their biggest loss came last Monday when Jericho couldn't win to get back on RAW."

[Ermaximus]

HHH vs Hurricane.
Cena vs Miz
Cena vs Carlito

Anything Swagger does these days. :(

[Mr. Nerfect]

It really depends. I mean, there is being systematically buried, like Christian was in 2005. "Oh, hey, this guy is getting over. Just what can we do to kill his heat?" I truthfully believe the WWE did all they could to stop Christian from getting over in '05. Especially with the move to SmackDown!. His status never really changed, but they just put all these measures on him to try and quell his heat. I also feel, despite how many people take the piss out of this suggestion, that CM Punk faced a similar obstactle in 2006. After Survivor Series, where Punk got a chant during DX's spot, the then undefeated Punk would lose his streak to who? Hardcore Holly of all people. There was no real logical reason for that. He was then the first man eliminated in the Elimination Chamber that next week, and the fans in attendence were pretty pissed. It got worse when Rob Van Dam was eliminated.

Punk lost a lot of momentum after that, and only really regained it when he won Money in the Bank the following year, which surprised a lot of people at the time. I think most were calling an MVP win? I changed to Punk at the last second when I realised that Matt Hardy returning and costing MVP the match would make logical sense, and Punk was the next best choice for winner. But the point is that Punk should have gained so much momentum after teaming with DX and The Hardys successfully, whilst being undefeated, and no, she should not have won the Elimination Chamber or anything; but I definitely feel there was a sudden movement to say "Hey, let's slow this Punk guy down."

But that's not the worse burial ever. Just something that Christian's situation in 2005 reminded me of.

One I'd like to bring up is Paul London & Brian Kendrick. Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch and someone Triple H was feuding with at the time were beating him down. Londrick ran out to make the save for Triple H, because they were feuding with The Redneck Wrecking Crew. I thought "Brilliant -- six-man tag and Londrick will get this awesome rub by teaming successfully with Triple H." Wrong. Triple H immediately goes on to Pedigree both guys for no reason at all, as they stand around looking like goofs who don't deserve to belong in the same ring as him.

The earliest one I can remember: Test pretty much squashed William Regal to win the European Title. I wasn't really reading dirt sheets at the time, and I remember being a massive mark for Test, so the result made me happy. I remember Jerry Lawler actually sounded shocked on commentary, though, and said that Regal must have been sick or injured. But I do not remember him taking time off. He would then become the Commission and move on to feud with Chris Jericho. So I guess he moved up, in a way, but it was weird to see Test destroy him. Made Regal look like a joke, in my opinion.

[The Mackem]

Were Londrick tag champions then? Similar things seemed to happen to the Dudleys quite often.

[RatedGSuperstar]

MVP's losing streak. He finally beat Big Show in a Last Man Standing match. And even that match he needed help from Triple H to win. He hasn't been taken seriously for sustained periods of time since.

[Theo Dious]

HHH buried Scott Steiner pretty badly.

You have got to be kidding me.

[SuperSlim]

HHH buried Scott Steiner pretty badly.

In HHH's defense... Scott Steiner performed horribly in both of those matches. I mean so bad that he could have hurt Hunter in both of those matches. Steiner was sloppy, slipping while performing moves inside the ring, it was just nasty to watch. So you can't totally fault Trips for that burial... if you wanna call it that.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

British Bulldog was just as sloppy against Bret at SS '92, and Bret got a classic out of him, even after Bulldog was on a 2 month crack/steroid binge.

hahahaha

[Haze]

D'Lo was buried pretty bad after the Droz incident.

[Theo Dious]

British Bulldog was just as sloppy against Bret at SS '92, and Bret got a classic out of him, even after Bulldog was on a 2 month crack/steroid binge.

hahahaha

I can't beleive you're comparing Steiner to the Bulldog like that.

[Innovator]

-Jericho cleaning up dog crap as champ

[The Mackem]

I often wonder what have happened if Steiner wasn't injured when he returned to WWE.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I can't beleive you're comparing Steiner to the Bulldog like that.

It's not like Steiner wasn't a balls to the wall worker when he was in his prime.

[Theo Dious]

It's not like Steiner wasn't a balls to the wall worker when he was in his prime.

Ok, comparing even a coked-up Bulldog to the version of Steiner that HHH worked with in 03.

[Savio]

Booker T was buried when he first came in First he loses to the his WCW title to the Rock, then he loses the Rematch, then he loses a 2 one one handicap match against him.

[Haze]

Tazz also comes to mind when he first hit the WWE.

[Anybody Thrilla]

British Bulldog was just as sloppy against Bret at SS '92, and Bret got a classic out of him, even after Bulldog was on a 2 month crack/steroid binge.

hahahaha

Stop bringing that up, you son of a bitch. You're marring my memories. :'(

[TGR]

In terms of a heat-killing move, Rikishi's heel turn (admitting he ran over SCSA) and the subsequent revelation that he was simply a lackey of Triple H's.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He did it. For The Rock.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, I think The Rock threw the final shovelful of dirt on Rikishi's burial when he called him a thong-wearing fatty.

[Wolfpack423]

I don't think The Rock ever buried anyone. He put over so many people: Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, The Hurricane.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't think The Rock ever INTENTIONALLY buried anyone, but like The Mackem mentioned, he was so great on the mic that he made his opponents seem inferior just by making fun of them.

[McLegend]

When HHH beat beat Booker T at WM19.

That was a good burial.

[Haze]

When HHH beat beat Booker T at WM19.

That was a good burial.



beat beat? ;)

[McLegend]

Yes beat beat.

Also HHH beating Orton a month after he won the title. It took Orton years to get over that.

That is a painful memory for me.

[Lock Jaw]

Austin buried Lance Storm when he called him boring.

[Favre4Ever]

Um when Devon Dudley became Vince's religious advisor or whatever, after Devon got Batista over he got buried pretty hard.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That Scott Steiner video is amazing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sort of on topic...another big burial was WCW burying itself. They broke kayfabe so many times to bitch about the state of the company it was ridiculous.

[KIRA]

I was gonna mention triple h vs booker but you beat me to it

that match still pisses me off

Why the hell can't scott speak


How That promo didnt get him fired is a wonder

[Anybody Thrilla]

Stop watching it.

[KIRA]

never do but when its brought up I have to relive the horror

[KIRA]

I never do but the memory is still there and when it surfaces I'm prone to punch small children within arms reach

[ozzman6669]

Ultimate Warrior vs HHH was a pretty good burial !!!

[Innovator]

HHH vs. Orton from Unforgiven 04, brought about the phrase Orton'd

[Fabien Barthez]

I think Backlund in 94 is the worst burial ever. Massive effort went into building his character, it got over, and everyone was loving his really top quality matches, and just squashed him with someone who really didn't need the title at that point as he was getting over anyway.

But unfortunately, when given a world class mat wrestler or a 7ft man....

Massively underrated is Bobby.

[RGWhat316]

Cena/Miz was the worst of the past year I know that. When Cena calls Miz a nobody, then easily beats him was terrible. Luckily he has gotten back on a stride and is working his way back up.

Evan Bourne is another that has been buried. He was great when he debuted on ECW, even having a really competitive match against Matt Hardy on ppv. I even saw commercials of him being advertised as ECW champion. But he gets injured, then goes to RAW and essentially has accomplished nothing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yes beat beat.

Also HHH beating Orton a month after he won the title. It took Orton years to get over that.

That is a painful memory for me.

What made that even worse was how it also "buried" Chris Benoit's title reign and the special moment from the previous Wrestlemania of him and Eddie celebrating.

Orton's road to the title looked good even though Benoit wasn't pushed as the main wrestler on RAW and then his title reign which should have been special since it was his 1st gets cut before anything could occur.

[Emperor Smeat]

MVP was buried pretty bad for a while during his time on RAW. He went from the big loosing streak to starting the rise to a future main event spot. Then gets drafted on RAW and keeps some momentum but eventually writers forget about him and his push starts to fall apart.
