10 Most Awkward "Didn't Get All Of It" Wrestling Moments

5. Jackie Gayda "Sells" For A Trish Stratus Bulldog

A match so bad that it is known in shorthand as "That Jackie Gayda Match", Jackie Gayda is itself a synonym of "f*cking sh*te".

It wasn't her fault. She was woefully unequipped to work a match on television, but WWE did it anyway because they had a reality series to promote and, honestly, while this is cynical, certain higher-ups probably thought the cruelty was funny.

Gayda was useless, bless her. She didn't even know how to get into position to complete basic sequences she had no idea how to execute. She ducked a back body drop over the top rope, making Trish Stratus look like she was mimicking Matt Hardy's entrance pose, and Stratus was not amused. She took Gayda near the ropes and b*llocked her. Stratus covered her mouth, but her eyes bulged with such fury that it was easy to infer that she wasn't calling a spot.

Chris Nowinski looked like Kurt Angle in 1999 by comparison, but sadly, he was not tasked with the finish; in an all-timer of a "didn't get all of it", Gayda told for Trish's bulldog like she was trying to get a wasp away from her head.
