Vickie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero vs. Santina Marella There are some matches you just cant make up, and this might be the crown jewel of head-shaking-with-disbelief matches. Its one thing to have a hog pen match which is not wholly unprecedented in professional wrestling. But this particular match carries the distinction of being turned into a handicap match, as Vickie Guerrero was the Raw GM at the time and added her nephew Chavo to the bout, and was contested for the Miss WrestleMania crown, which Santina Marella originally won. Sounds like a winner, doesnt it? A match fought for a fake pageant title originally won by a guy in drag. In a hog pen. On PPV. Let that sink in for a second. The match was mercifully brief and featured Chavo flopping around in the mud and rubbing Marellas face in the filth. Naturally, Vickie got slopped and pinned, giving Santina the fake crown back. Announcers Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler of course laughed like it was the funniest thing they had ever seen. Probably the only redeeming thing about this match was Santina using Billy & Chucks old theme music. Otherwise, this match should be scrubbed from the public conscience.
