10 Worst WWE United States Title Matches Of The Modern Era

10. Big Show Vs. Eddie Guerrero (No Mercy 2003)

Months following No Mercy, Eddie Guerrero would be elevated to WWE Champion status. In October 2003 though, he was WWE United States Champion on SmackDown. In fact, Guerrero was the first man to hold the title when it was brought back in July. His tournament final against Chris Benoit at Vengeance was classic.

The same couldn't be said for his No Mercy battle with The Big Show. A major problem with the match was the end result. Big Show seemed like a poor choice to supplant the popular Guerrero as United States Champ. It also didn't help that portions of the bout were slow.

Compared to Eddie's slick exchanges with Benoit, this 11-minute match felt interminable. That first title switch should have been huge, something meaningful for fans to embrace as colossal. Instead, it was just another excuse to give Big Show a title run.

The giant wouldn't really defend the gold up until dropping it to John Cena at WrestleMania XX. That match to come seemed to be the only reason for Show beating Guerrero at No Mercy.
