Horrible Finishes to a title match in the WWE
 

#1. Cena versus Sheamus- WWE TLC

#2. HHH versus Orton- Wrestlemania 25

Quit being a smark

Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena's only mark on TPWW.

Where's Cena Ass Soldier when you need support.

HHH defeating The Rock, Iron Man Match, Judgment Day 2000.....

Pretty much every Triple H match since 2006.

when yokozuna beat bret hart only for hogan to pop up. they would probably get slaughtered for that now but when i was 9 i thought it was the tits.

Hm, good point.

The only non-"Cena"-named Cena mark.

The Empty Arena match's finish was just corny as hell, with the camera on the lift.

Agreed, Not only was i a big rock mark. It just seemed lame after such a good match.

I hated Vince winning the title in 1999. If you think Sheamus is booked badly, take a look at HHH's first 6 months with the world title. Luckily Foley made him a star.

Luger beating Yoko via count out at Summerslam '93. Surely he should have tried to stop the count or get Yoko back in the ring.

Cena vs. Sheamus wasn't a horrible finish. It was a table match, and it ended when John Cena went through a table. Maybe you didn't like the result, but the finish in and of itself was fine.

Triple H vs. Orton wasn't a horrible finish, either. It was basically a squash match, and I definitely feel Orton should have won or at least put up more of a fight, but the finish itself was fine.

A horrible finish was the Teddy Long 'screwjob'.

Are you kidding me? Dude those guys were shivering on the top rope and Cena took forever to fall and made it look lamer than it could have been.

Orton versus HHH at WM was horrible. You don't excpect a crappy main event finish at the 25th Anniversary.

How about every raw dark match since god knows when. Its always Cena vs Sheamus for the WWE title which has ended the EXACT same way Cena wins via DQ after sheamus pushes the ref

In the Cena/Sheamus match it seems what they were going for was to make it look like Cena could've slipped so it was a mystery for a bit. And it worked.

Thought it was a decent ending.

Triple H vs Booker T at Mania 19.

Hunter kicks out of every single one of Booker's finishers, hits one Pedigree, takes a ten-minute nap, then gets the three count. I very nearly threw my tv out the window.

I think he did try to get Yoko back in the ring but he couldn't lift him up, and for some reason, the ref didn't keep restarting the count.

Dammit, just came to say Booker and HHH, DAMN YOUS NOWHERE

I used to really hate the main event of Summerslam 2001. I think it was the first PPV i'd had since Wrestlemania 17 and I was really excited about the Austin vs. Angle match. If I remember correctly, Austin gave Angle three stunners, and Angle kicked out every time. Desperate, Austin attacked the referee or something and got himself disqualified. At the time i felt really screwed over. I'm quite a bit older now though and I think I understand quite a bit better what the purpose of the match was: to get Angle really over as a face.

Upon further review, he did not attempt to stop the count or get Yoko back in the ring.

Yeah, I didn't think he did. We'll put it down to him knowing he wouldn't have been able to lift Yokozuna's dead weight.

It would have been so different if only he could have kept his mouth shut.

Well it's Luger's fault for having a finishing move where there's potential to send the opponent to the outside and using it on a man the size of Yokozuna.

dude seriously, wreslting has been on TV/PPV forever and you name matches within the last year?

Luger has never been known for his intelligence....

Something I tried to forget about. K-Fed's interference in the 2006 World title champion of champions match.

I used to think that the finish to the Ultimate Warrior/Sgt Slaughter match at Royal Rumble 1991 was terrible, only because Slaughter did a weak looking elbow drop on Warrior after Savage KO'ed him with the scepter. Once I got older and looked back on everything, I began to understand the reason Slaughter did that, in terms of match psychology (or whatever you want to call it).

HHH/Orton in the September PPV in 2004. Worst ending ever.

That fuckin asshole. What a bitch. I'm still angry about that and it's nearly 6 years later.

Eddie vs. JBL in the Strap Match

going with the same premise

Sting vs. Nikita Koloff in the Strap Match

That was such a great move on Slaughter's part. I had completely forgotten that until I bought the Royal Rumble Anthology. Someone KO's his opponent, and he slips the elbow drop in there so that he can claim credit for the win. Priceless.

It's a good thing this thread is limited to WWE, or we'd have to sift through most of Hogan's shitty title matches during his nWo time.

tell you what, as a kid that Rumble match along with HBK throwing Marty through the window are probably the two defining moments that hooked me on wrestling forever. I'll throw Jake's snake biting Savage in there as well.

I remember just being upset for days when Warrior lost the belt. At 7 years old I just remeber thinking how the referee missed all that bullshit with Savage. But it was so well done and it remains one of my favorite matches ever. I watch it every now and then

Pretty much any strap match where you win by touching the corners is shitty. There's little logic in the match at all. What do you prove by being the first guy to touch all of the corner pads?

ECW Championship
CM Punk v John Morrison

SummerSlam 2007

For those of you who don't remember.

FYI: at 1:32, that is my friends and me holding up the CM Punk signs.

Not the worst, but the ending of the Austin/Benoit/Jericho match at KOTR 2001 was pretty underwhelming. Benoit hits a superplex on Jericho, then Austin who had just been beat up and thrown through a table by Booker T climbs back in the ring and pins Benoit.
