13 Worst Botches In WWE History

9. Undertaker/Hogan, And The Worst Chokeslam In History

For some time, Hulk Hogan had had a protected career in WCW before this match with the Undertaker in 2002 at the Judgement Day pay-per-view. The story goes that, frightened of taking too many bumps because of his ongoing and increasing back problems, Hogan and any one booking him had ensured that his opponent knew to coddle him in the ring to minimise injury to his back. In this WWF match (the company ceased using €˜WWF€™ and began the rebrand to €˜WWE€™ a month later, after being beaten in court by the panda), around a year after WCW had folded, the same does not appear to be true. In the full clip, you can see Undertaker going for the goozle but Hogan simply not being ready for it, stumbling forwards. €˜Taker then yanks Hogan back into position again and mutters something to him (which we€™re sure wasn€™t complimentary €“ you don€™t ever sandbag the Dead Man, even if you€™re Hogan). We€™re then witness to the most anaemic chokeslam of the Phenom€™s career, as Hulk jumps approximately six inches in the air. We€™re pretty sure that the Undertaker had more words for the Hulkster backstage after the match.
