10 Absolute Worst Matches In WWE Survivor Series History

6. Theodore Long Vs. Eric Bischoff (2005)

Triple H Kozlov

The 2005 event's build saw WWE lean heavily on the brand warfare theme, resulting in a fun night of action highlighted by Triple H's attritional Last Man Standing war with Ric Flair, but dragged down when the company decided a Raw vs. SmackDown show couldn't possibly go down without their two non-wrestler General Managers doing battle.

More of a glorified angle than a wrestling match, it was, nonetheless, an awful sack of sh*t. The most obviously awful sack of sh*t on our list, in fact - just look at the participants.

Network executive Palmer Cannon was ringside, and the bout was officiated by referees from both Raw and SmackDown. Smoke an mirrors were already guaranteed, but the extra personnel brought it to ridiculous levels, creating an encounter that felt like a parody of a wrestling match.

The Boogieman showed up after a few minutes of distractions and shoe-slaps, battering Bischoff, but stopping short of filling his mouth with worms. This allowed Long to score the pin, bringing the clash to a sweet, merciful end, though it was already clear that its only purpose was to humiliate 'Easy E.'
