10 Absolute Worst Matches In WWE SummerSlam History
6. The Kat Vs Terri (SummerSlam 2000)
It was the best of times. That wasn't made overtly clear here.
Competing against one another in a sequel to a poorly-received WrestleMania match, Kat and Terri were made to work a "Thong Stinkface" clash at SummerSlam, with victory confirmed by who could perform Rikishi's trademark gross-out manoeuvre whilst sporting the non-existent bikini bottoms.
Empty titillation followed, as Jim Ross sardonically critiqued their 'deep crotch slams', whilst Jerry Lawler squealed himself to neargasm as per f*cking usual.
Of all the unsavoury moments from the Attitude Era that don't age well, this sort of mistreatment of women at large is easily the hardest to revisit. No 21st Century match should really have been this exploitative, no matter the expectation or game willingness of those involved. And, objectively speaking, the presentation was total trash. Neither could wrestle, rendering nearly all their physicality as horribly exposed to the elements as they were.
Fans popped for the finish, of course. WWE were in touch with that portion of their audience, even if that version of entertainment was rapidly becoming out of touch with society at large.
