10 Awful Wrestling Matches That Stunk Up Arenas

10. Hollywood Hogan Vs. The Warrior - WCW Halloween Havoc 1998

A mat classic was never on the agenda, but Hogan and the Warrior's match at WrestleMania VI eight years earlier was cause enough for some optimism - even if both men's performance level had subsequently degenerated through selfishness and ring rust, respectively.

"They are two of the greatest wrestlers of all-time", said Tony Schiavone euphemistically, as the two circled one another in the early going, which consisted of little more than basic locks. "Come on, Hogan - feel the power!" Warrior cried, challenging his opponent to an '80s-style test of strength.

Meanwhile, in the WWF, Stone Cold Steve Austin was popularising the crazed arena-wide brawl commonplace in the company's Attitude Era.

Warrior, as if seeking vengeance for Hogan's limelight-hogging shenanigans at 'Mania VI, mistimed his selling to an almost comical extent. Hogan laughed in arch villain fashion during one of the match's many, many tests of strength, to which fans rain down apathetic jeers.

It is as lazy and arrogant a match you're ever likely to see, and the finish included a spectacular - and literal - misfire: Hogan was meant to throw a fireball in Warrior's direction, but it instead blew up in his hand and scorched his own face.

That just about sums the whole thing up.
