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

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

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.

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'.) |

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. |

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). |

Yeah the Concrete Crypt match was craptacular, but not especially BORING.
Matches can be absolute bollocks without being even slightly boring. |

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
