10 Most Unprofessional Performances In WWE History

1. Kane & The Undertaker Vs. KroniK - WWF Unforgiven 2001

When you get drafted in to play a prominent role in a still-hot, unprecedented angle, you'd think you'd do everything in your power to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.

If you're Brian Clark and Bryan Adams, though, you enter a performance so staggeringly bad, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter would award it a similarly-unprecedented -** match rating. It's hard to describe just how much of a calamity it was. Adams in particular forgot how to coordinate himself, walking into neckbreakers like they were backbreakers and missing his cue entirely for a chokeslam. Not one to let the side down, Adams missed the incredibly-basic head to the ring-post spot by, and this no exaggeration, a foot. At least. Even 'Taker got in the spirit of things by missing punches by several inches.

It's also hard to pin-point the reason for this disgrace of a performance. It could have been attributed to a lack of preparation. The insane amount of juice running through their systems might have messed their heads up. Clark, as a known friend of 'Taker's, having thought his job was automatically safe, might have lived up to his team's hur-hur moniker backstage beforehand. In any event, it was incredibly unprofessional.
