WWE Matches That Were PAINFUL To Watch

10. JBL Vs Eddie Guerrero (Judgment Day 2004)

It was the blade that made it, so the festival of violence that was JBL Vs Eddie Guerrero probably wouldn't make this or any list if the late great 'Latino Heat' hadn't bled a total gusher in the main event of Judgment Day 2004. Nonetheless, it remains at times an excruciating viewing experience.

Ironically, the very strike that caused the cut gets forgotten because of the scale of Guerrero’s bloodletting, but it’s a monster as well. Bradshaw absolutely waffled Guerrero, but such violent headshots happened regularly enough then that standard wrestler justification called for the one triggering this gusher to be a doozy.

In real life in 2004, Guerrero was glad to be freeing himself of the responsibility of being Champion, but few speak of this match as a kayfabe failure to win the belt back - they only remember the horrifying visuals. That’s how ends constantly justified means once upon a time.

It’s all very of-the-era, simultaneously serving as a reminder of why said era eventually had to change.
