Ranking What Was REALLY The Worst Wrestling Match Every Year 1990-2021

17. 2005 - Eric Bischoff Vs. Theodore Long

Eric Bischoff recently agreed with Dax Harwood's tweet that WCW "should have won" the Monday Night Wars.

If he hadn't sanctioned the insanity of New York Rules matches and the like, he wouldn't have had to put the wrestling public through this dog sh*t comedy match with Teddy Long. Long mocked Bischoff's martial arts hard man persona with wacky, mildly racist taunts performed with such a bratty, goofy demeanour that you were almost happy to see the heel beat his arse - and this was Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff.
