Wrestling fans understand that WWE shows will provide some variety, realising that has often been a prerequisite for enjoying the promotion's pay-per-view output. With that in mind, people do still expect to see actual wrestling matches take place inside a 20x20 ring when tuning in. What they don't expect is to see the worst game of dodgeball since Vince Vaughn and Average Joes were learning the ropes. At SummerSlam 2004, however, that's exactly what those who plonked down their pay-per-view dollars received. Admittedly, they also received a good main event between Randy Orton and Chris Benoit, as well as Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero, but who exactly thought this segment was a good idea? On one side, there were actual WWE divas and on the other, Diva Search contestants. All in all, the actual 'match' was over in a little under 3 minutes, making it one of the shorter entries on this list. However, brief length doesn't excuse the fact that WWE management felt it was alright to make their audience pay to watch dodgeball on the Summer's biggest pay-per-view. Hilariously, the WWE divas were taken to wrestler's court after the event for, rather embarrassingly, losing the match to the rookies!
