6. Four Doinks Vs Bam Bam Bigelow, Bastion Booger & The Headshrinkers (1993, DUD)

Bam Bam Bigelow was the right man at the wrong time in both his major WWE tenures. In 1987, the company simply didn't need a giant babyface as long as everybody basked in the afterglow of Hulk Hogan's red and yellow glare. Virtually everybody over 300lbs worked a leg drop loop with 'The Hulkster'. Bam Bam must have been devastated to not see one of those paydays.

The heel he should have been back then emerged in late-1992 right as Vince McMahon was desperate for naturally larger athletes, but outside of a passable rivalry with Tatanka in mid-1993, Bigelow was confined to comedy far beyond the logical range of the character.

Ignoring the fact that the poor schmuck had to contend with the woeful Men On A Mission and Bushwhackers wearing Doink masks, his own team succumbed to the lunacy that seemed to envelope the entire battle.

Frenemy Bastion Booger was distracted from the match by food, whilst one of the ordinarily awesome Headshrinkers literally slipped on a banana peel for a finish.

The newly repurposed Doink p*ssed himself at Bam Bam's plight as the tattooed bruiser left the ring defeated and dejected. He was the only one laughing.
