In a refreshing change of pace, this is the first match on the list to actually have a stipulation. But even that couldn't save it from being boring.

Big Show captured the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XXVIII, defeating Cody Rhodes in a real feel-good moment for The Giant.

A rematch was scheduled for the following month's Extreme Rules and, because WWE wanted people to at least think they cared about the names of their pay-per-views, the bout was made a Tables match.

The build-up was centred around the idea that Cody simply wouldn't be able to put Show through a table due to his sheer size. This would have made a lot of sense if Show was a heel and Rhodes was a face, but, because this is WWE, obviously it was the other way around.

The match itself is probably one of the most boring tables matches you'll ever see. It went fewer than five minutes and the one memorable spot came right at the end, when Big Show accidentally put his foot through a table on the outside of the ring when he tried to get back inside, costing him the match and the championship.

Sounds like a finish straight out of CZW, right?
