10 Worst Animal-Related Angles In Wrestling History

2. Vickie Guerrero And 'Santina' Marella's Hog Pen Match

At WrestleMania XXV, WWE decreed that they were going to crown the first ever 'Miss. WrestleMania'. Instead of treating the match seriously, Santino Marella won the Battle Royal. Entering as his "twin sister", Santina, Marella continued using the gimmick after 'Mania. Smelling a rat over Santina's validity for the title, Vickie Guerrero wanted the 'Miss. WrestleMania' crown for herself. The persona of Santina Marella continued on for months, even into June's Extreme Rules show. In the mid card, Guerrero faced Marella in a 'Hog Pen' collision. Chavo Guerrero was inserted into the bout too, making it a handicap match. The entire thing only lasted a few minutes, but it still wound up being a complete waste of air time. This was typical WWE comedy at its worst, and didn't really have a place on the Pay-Per-View. The pigs, instead of looking filthy, were actually the cleanest involved by the end of the disaster. Worse yet, they seemed scared by the fact that Marella and Chavo were trying to hurl one another in between them. This is one match type that many fans hope to never see again.
