10 Bowling Shoe Ugly Wrestling Matches

1. Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca (TNA Victory Road 2009)

Speaking of a lack of preparation, that's what happened in TNA at the Victory Road 2009 Pay-Per-View. As the wife of Booker T, Sharmell was portrayed as the main female presence in the Main Event Mafia. That was threatened when Jenna Morasca, a low-level reality TV star started muscling in on proceedings. Confusingly, this led to a match between the pair on Pay-Per-View. Much like Cena vs. Laurinaitis in WWE, this was something TNA expected people to pay to watch. Unlike the WWE bout, nobody really plumped up the cash to see Sharmell vs. Jenna. Even Morasca's entrance was awkward looking, as she slipped through the ropes with little grace. When the bell rang, the problems really started. Jenna Morasca was not a trained professional wrestler, and that always shows up instantly. Sharmell, who had previously went through some training, tried her best, but it was a impossible task. Jenna didn't sell a thing, but that didn't stop the match from lasting around 6 minutes. Poor Awesome Kong, a genuinely good female wrestler, had to stand at ringside and act as Morasca's bodyguard.
