10 Worst Animal-Related Angles In Wrestling History

This article has been paid for by the Al Snow and Pepper foundation.

It's been said that entertainers should never work with children or animals. The unpredictable nature of both makes it difficult to act around their spontaneous nature, making for several hilarious mishaps. For example, at the 1999 Unforgiven Pay-Per-View, Al Snow and The Big Boss Man faced one another in the curiously-titled 'Kennel From Hell' encounter. The match was basically inside 'Hell In A Cell' but apparently-vicious dogs surrounded the ring. Basically, the idea was that these mutts would attack both Boss Man and Snow should they leave the ring, but the dogs were in a more playful mood. Instead of appearing violent, they defecated around ringside and actually appeared to get a little frisky on camera. It turned the match into a joke. More from Snow and Boss Man features in this article, one which aims to look at 10 of the worst animal-related angles in wrestling history. It's not only real-life creatures that feature on this list, WWE have weirdly tried to use mascots in intriguing, yet utterly horrible ways. Each and every single time, the storylines which involved these animals weren't received well by fans. The reasons for this vary, but it usually boils down the fact that they were simply too cartoon-like and unbelievable for people to really care about.
