10 Best (Worst) Wrestling Horror Matches

4. Graveyard Match

Quick, what's the only way to make a Buried Alive match even worse? If you said, "Make the whole thing take place in a graveyard with really bad lighting," congratulations - you could have worked for WCW. Unfortunately, the company's been out of business for 16 years.

In 2000, Vampiro got a major heel push that led to some moments that were memorable for all the wrong reasons. He feuded with Sting (more on that later) and The Demon, battling the latter in a Graveyard Match at Bash at the Beach 2000. Though the match was less than seven minutes long, it felt a whole lot longer, and saw the two men fight around a barely-visible cemetery and down by a river. In the end, Vampiro managed to lock The Demon in a casket and throw him into an open grave, so apparently, he won.

This was the only Graveyard Match in WCW history, though Vampiro and Sting did have a poorly-lit brawl in a cemetery on an episode of Nitro two months earlier.
