When you look at the storied, Hall of Fame careers of Scott Hall and Sean Waltman, it's difficult to think that they count this among the highlights.

After a series of back and forth matches between the then 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon, Waltman turned on Razor to join the Million Dollar Corporation. Razor, looking for a finale to their feud, proposed a Crybaby Match, wherein the loser would be diapered, powdered, and given a bottle, since Waltman had been acting like a crybaby.

Flawless logic.

The Million Dollar Man accepted on Waltman's behalf, and the match was set, with no stakes except embarrassment on the line.

Razor won the match with two Razor's Edge slams and the result was an unconscious 1-2-3 Kid being dusted with baby powder, put into an oversized diaper, and being given a baby bottle to suck on. When Waltman woke up, he pouted and cried. No one looked good coming out of this mess.

This was one of the last big matches for either man before they headed for WCW, possibly leaving partly because of the lingering shame of this match.

It's stunning to think that this New Generation garbage was just a few months before Steve Austin would deliver his iconic 'Austin 3:16' promo and the formation of the NWO, both of which would turn the professional wrestling world on its head.
