10 Wrestling Matches That Were Sent Out To Die
Because who cares about your stinking match anyway?
In a perfect world, every single wrestling match would serve purpose and progress storylines. In a perfect world, cards would be stacked with bout-after-bout of action that was discussed positively. In a perfect world, a captive audience would be left drenched in their own euphoric sweat after cheering the babyfaces and booing the heels.
This isn't a perfect world.
Some matches are sent through the curtain even though promoters know full well the finish, actual wrestling or chosen combination cannot win. They're thrown to the wolves when it'd be easier to either place them elsewhere on the show, eliminate them from already-rammed match lists or book them differently, and this never leads to anything good.
It's almost like companies are trolling their own fans when this sort of thing happens. You've paid for your seat, marks, now sit in it and react accordingly to what's presented without protest. Sure, that'll work out, but these matches all suffered from some varying degree of that fate.
They were set up to fail, and had zero chance of succeeding against all the odds...
