10 Worst WWE Moments Of 2002

10. That Disastrous Mixed Tag Match

The look on Trish's face said it all! On the 8 July 2002 Raw, Stratus teamed with Bradshaw vs. Jackie Gayda and Chris Nowinski. What should've been a routine mixed tag-team bout ended up being one of the year's worst. In fact, it'd likely be up there if one put together the 100 worst Raw matches in history. All 4 stunk the place out in a wretched showing, but the most miserable moments were reserved for Gayda.

Trish was clearly ticked off as Jackie blew practically every spot they'd mapped out for the match. In fairness, Gayda didn't look like she'd been properly trained - this was akin to seeing some punter storm the ring before a TV taping and try to hit some moves on their friend before being tackled by security. That had to be distressing for Stratus, because she was still in the early knockings of her own in-ring career, and she didn't want any of this stench to cling to her behind the curtain.

Anyone watching who knows a thing or 2 about wrestling could see that Stratus was blameless. Gayda was uncomfortable, uncoordinated and unaware of how somebody should even stand mid-ring. You had to feel sorry for her, but it was all unacceptably poor for WWE's flagship nonetheless, and there was just no getting away from that. 

By the time referee Jack Doan raised Trish's hand post-match, she was flashing an angry look down at Jackie. It wouldn't be a surprise if there were some choice words involving talent and management once everyone returned backstage. Nobody could've been pleased with the match, but it was Gayda's performance that stood out most.

Oh dear.
