10 Worst WWE Matches Of 2019
1. Seth Rollins Vs. The Fiend - Hell In A Cell
In the content production game, there are certain events that the integrity of a list demands coverage of.
If the theme of a list is centred on game-changing botches and or controversies, the Montreal Screwjob and the Summer of Punk must be included, and it's the only source of work dread this job we are privileged to have inspires. You're bored of reading about those events. These events have been covered to death. It is near impossible to extract any new insight. The horse is dead.
This disaster of a match will in the years to come create a profound sense of apathy and familiarity because it is so inextricably linked to WWE's wider creative demise. You'll find it significantly harder to escape from the match than Bray Wyatt did.
The red light was bullsh*t, the preposterous content even more rancid. You couldn't bear to watch - this captivating new character was dying out there like a first-time stand-up - and mercifully, you could barely see. WWE made a horror movie, get it, because Bray is scary, and clumsily welded those cinematic tropes onto a context that ruined itself. The Curb Stomp isn't a kitchen knife. It wasn't in any way frightening or powerful that Bray Wyatt was impervious to it. It was a move that wasn't even all that protected by modern standards. A mallet wasn't a sledgehammer either, somehow. And, most pointedly, Bray Wyatt wasn't Mankind.
Enough was enough, in fairness.
