10 Times WWE Completely Buried Ring Of Honor World Champions

4. Beat The Boss

Vickie Guerrero Jamie Noble

Fresh from a comprehensive humbling by Hornswoggle, Jamie Noble remained in the on-screen doghouse by virtue of yet another needless heel-to-heel deconstruction from a p*ssed off and p*ssed on authority figure.

In this case, it was SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, herself smarting over one crisis or another on the blue brand. An initial misunderstanding saw Guerrero give Noble punishment matches against The Undertaker and The Great Khali. Her announcements resulted in the former Cruiserweight Champion throwing toddler-quality tantrums before marching gamely to his fate all the same.

He was of course squashed like a bug in both, just in case his status on the roster wasn't made clear enough by the aforementioned 'Little B*stard' losses, compounded by weeks of being foiled by his child-like schemes.

The low point for the largely ineffectual non-sequiturs came during Noble's final crack at freedom. Attempting to woo Vickie one last time, he engaged in some cringeworthy flirting with the General Manager before getting booked to take an ungodly kicking from World Heavyweight Champion Batista. As James Gibson, Noble likely would have rose to the challenge and made an effort to outwit and outwrestle his bigger foe.

On this night, he squealed, stomped his feat, and mimicked Batista's entrance like an imbecile.
