Yes, the match is terrible. But it has a bunch of nonsense and had no stakes outside of winning a belt that means nothing.

      Standard whatever Roman Reigns match. Standard whatever ref bump. But then it makes three of the top guys all look weak when Roman kicks out of a triple finisher combo. Then to top it all Solo comes back to interfere after getting ejected, and there was zero follow up.
      Part of what makes pro wrestling work is the rules that viewers believe the wrestlers have to work within. One of them being, what the referee says goes. If the ref sends you to the back, you stay in the back. But now that rule clearly doesn’t exist, which not only makes the ejection in this match stupid, but devalues any time in the past or going forward that someone gets ejected.
      Tl;dr match was bad because it broke a fundamental rule of the sport with no follow up. Is it top ten worst of the year? In a vacuum maybe not? Is it really bad and deserves to get called out? Yes.

    15:26 completely agree. I hate that people say John is a great promo cause he breaks the rules of kayfabe, undermines the people he is talking to, then acting like nothing affects him. He never does anything to actually build up, opposite to literally every good promo artist in history

      I haven't watched every promo he's done but that's what I like about MJF from what I've seen. Regardless of all the other stuff he says, he definitely builds up his opponent's achievements, which makes it seem like a big deal when he beats them.

    Say what you will but I popped through the entirety of "Shane McMahon VS The Miz." I popped like an idiot when Shane McMahon returned, I popped like an idiot when he instantly tore his quad after one move, and I popped like an idiot when Snoop ran in and desperately did anything he could to try and salvage it. I was continuously so hyped from the moment Shane came out to the moment Miz left

    I still to this day believe they should’ve had Jey win the championship at summerslam clean, then go on a slow turn to corruption and become worse than Roman ever was, turning on his brother at Survivor Series in a brutal attack that puts him on the shelf for a couple months before the royal rumble where he returns in Jey vs Orton and costs Jey the Title setting up the USOs mania match and setting up Orton vs Cody for mania to finish Cody’s story, which to me can be a better story than Cody vs Roman

    Oh my worst match was that Tyrus vs EC3 match. I was watched that match out of morbid curiosity, and to say I was astonished people had to pay money to see that is the understatement of a lifetime. Tyrus as champion and that match really tanked any credibility NWA and Billy Corgan as promoter had. The cocaine bit was the cherry on top of NWA’s shitshow of a year.

    10: get over it
    9: it was a tough one to watch but it's one of those matches that should have been a cinematic match to truly be good. I agree with Dan, his creativity wasn't translated well with those in the back.
    8: here's a match that proves that anything can go wrong in the ring. But the cover by Miz and Snoop deserves more respect.
    7: this was a typical Roman match. Yawn. Roman's matches are more of the storyline than the actual matches and they screwed up the story too. Lest we forget we still lost our collective minds on the Jimmy turn.
    6: x vs Tyrus this whole year could make this entire list
    5: this match wasn't bad as much a sit was boring and didn't achieve anything. Ok wait that's a bad match.. lol.
    4: silly fun gone wrong. It was ok if you consider it was a promotional match for a movie but it was bad in the bigger picture.
    3: this was soo bad. What was even the point? It was very out of place.
    Dan: the match where people voted for was chris Jericho vs Paul Heyman. I believe it was the last match where wwe collected votes for a match.
    2: Gable is the worst. Imagine having a match with the most hyped up man in your company vs the most reliable man you can rely on.. and this was the result. Shame on wwe.
    1: thus was so boring omg. This wasn't going to be the best but the story should have carried it. Nevermind

    Cody vs Roman was built to be amazing. The whole hype had that Austin vs Rock Wrestlemania XV feel to it. You have Roman, who like his cousin Dwayne, was feeling himself and over confindent. You got Cody, who like Austin, was going against absolutly everything The Bloodline threw at him. Everything was pointing to Cody winning the belts. As we know, it didn't go down like that.

    Maybe you could do it without the WM IV tournament, or make the whole tournament an entry in and of itself, but there is probably a list to be made closer to that time of wrestlers who have had multiple Mania matches in the same night/year. Miz almost in the same boat as Daniel Bryan again, if not that it was at a 2 night Mania.

    Ronda Rousey's Vlog where She complained about not even needing to do Wrestling but getting booed anyway left an aftertaste of her inability to face the media after her UFC loss to Holly Holm
    There was a repeat in being unable to work through the adversity™ in a professional way and the Fans both in MMA and in Pro wrestling aren't welcoming to people who are actually upset if things don't go their way while showing a perceived unwillingness to put in the work to get better
    Ronda is an incredible Martial Artist and able to make even the safer variations used in pro wrestling look realistic, but it seems like the pressures of the entertainment industry might be holding her back

    Some of their WWE picks seemed more disappointing then bad matches. Jey vs Roman wasn’t bad it just wasn’t aa great as expected. By no means is it one of the worst matches of the year same with Roman/Cody. Bad and disappointing are two different things.

    Also yes Roman-Cody deserved to be here, or 11, the ending was THAT bad.

    And it could of been a No DQ match. Save the non sanctioned matches for the lights out stuff they used to do.

    For me the worst match was Shayna Baszler vs Ronda Rousey at Summerslam… here is why
    I’m not going to pretend that I was a fraction excited for this match during the build… I could care less… I had no hopes for this match
    As a wrestling fan watching a bad match is not an issue for me it comes with the territory
    Sometimes 2 good wrestlers can have bad matches
    Sometimes 2 bad wrestlers can have good matches
    My issue with this match is that
    THEY TRIED SCRIPTING MMMA RULES
    If it was just a normal match it would have been a tiny bit better
    But no they tried scripting MMA in WWE
    That match was just bad
    I knew it was going to be bad but that stipulation made it worse
