10 Controversial Wrestling Matches You'll Never See Again
7. Rey Mysterio Vs. Seth Rollins (WWE The Horror Show At Extreme Rules)
The nadir from WWE's wretched and enforced Performance Center era, Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins' "Eye For An Eye" match was the worst of the organisation's bizarre situational excesses.
COVID-19 was and is a very serious threat to one's immune system, but it seemed to warp the minds of promotion and performers alike, acting as a masking agent to common sense and giving all involved the feeling that everything would be forgotten when the empty arena era had passed. This despite wrestling being the show that never ends and careers constantly defined more by what they've done in the past than the "story" they're involved in day-to-day.
Foolishly from WWE's point of view, the wilder the ideas got, the more they burned themselves into the memory. Eye For An Eye was the perfect example - nothing simmering between Rollins and Mysterio justified the removal of an eye, particularly via corner of the steel stairs. Nor could any of this be bought watching at home. And the stunt eye looked like a ping pong ball dripping in ketchup, as if a good prop would have made this any better.
