10 DUMB WWE Matches (We Didn't Want To Admit Were GENIUS!)
10. Crybaby Match
Old wrestling magazines used to tear strips off the infamous 'Crybaby' gimmick from In Your House 6. Razor Ramon beat The 1-2-3 Kid on that 1996 pay-per-view, then dressed Kid up like a literal baby as he floundered around in talcum powder. For some reason, this hate continued onto various message boards into the 2000s.
Want to know something cool? It wasn't actually bad. Like, at all.
The actual baby stuff didn't come into play until afterwards, so Razor and Kid were able to have a predictably kickass match before getting silly. Also, and this is something a lot of the critics flat out denied, 1-2-3 Kid had been acting like a spoiled little brat for a while before the pay-per-view. Basically, the gimmick was hokey but made sense.
Again, this wasn't Ramon in a nappy vs. Kid in a nappy. It wasn't even some dire 'On A Pole' variation. No, it was Scott Hall and Sean Waltman tearing the house down, then both guys giving fans a laugh after the fact. It fit the story, and doesn't deserve the misplaced hate.
