4. The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzales (WWF WrestleMania IX)
For years, the WWF felt the best way to book The Undertaker was to put him up against monstrous foes. The likes of King Kong Bundy and Kama Mustafa provided some of the worst bouts 'Taker would ever have, but they all paled in comparison to The Giant Gonzales. Once known as El Gigante in WCW, Gonzales was barely mobile, making it hard to draw a decent match from him. Undertaker tried his best at WrestleMania IX, but simply couldn't get the big guy to do much. For many fans, 'Mania IX is still one of the worst cards in the history of the infamous event. It's hard to disagree with that when The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzales was one of the most-hyped matches on the entire show. Overall, the match featured little else other than slow clubbing blows from the giant and the traditional thrusts to an opponent's throat that 'Taker used to perform. Incredibly, the pair would go on to have another big match at SummerSlam 1993. Whilst that match was also horrendous, it wasn't quite as bad as the WrestleMania IX effort.
