10 WCW Moments So Bad They’ll STILL Blow Your Mind

10. WCW Mimics Montreal

Bret Hart's entire WCW career (aside from a few select matches) was woeful. The icon's heart wasn't in wrestling after Vince McMahon ripped it out in 1997, then the death of his brother Owen seemed to extinguish whatever passion the 'Hitman' left. Then, there was Starrcade 1999.

It was a calamitous night for Hart. One errant kick to the head from Goldberg ended Bret's full-time career, but that wasn't the only nightmare. Roddy Piper emerged as a stand-in referee late on, then weirdly called for the bell without Goldberg submitting. This was a clear rip-off of the screwjob Hart suffered two years prior at Survivor Series '97.

The angle was also an unwanted, confusing one that made no sense. Looking back on it now, it's easy to see that fans in Washington didn't have a clue what was going on. This was probably the poorest pay-per-view ending WCW's creative brain trust could've picked for their biggest show of the year.

What were they thinking?!
