20 Worst WWE Wrestlers Since 2000

17. KroniK

While the brevity of their WWE tenure almost excluded them from our list, the fact that KroniK were able to tank their mainstream wrestling careers on the back of a single, disastrous pay-per-view match means their spot is more than justified.

Bryan Clark and Brian Adams weren't part of the initial WCW invasion, but joined WWE in September 2001, having had their initial contracts dropped following the takeover. They were immediately thrust into a mainline feud with WCW Tag Team Champions Kane and The Undertaker, which would've ideally established them as major players. It didn't, though. Their Unforgiven 2001 bout was a disaster, and KroniK were the culprits, with their sloppy, mistimed offence spawning many a noticeably disjointed spot.

It was one of the worst WWE matches of the past two decades, and The Brothers Of Destruction were so angered by Clark and Adams' that the company felt compelled to send them to OVW for further seasoning. KroniK refused, and they were cut loose just 21 days after signing, marking Brian and Bryan as a set of colossal post-Invasion failures.
