10 Worst WWE Wrestlers Ever (According To The Internet)

4. Nicole Bass (0.83/10)

Wrestling and late-1990s pop culture chewed Nicole Bass up and spat her out, and the Cagematch panel weren't a great deal kinder. Bell-to-bell, they weren't given much reason to.

The late Bass' wrestling CV is a truly bizarre one considering the relatively normal beginnings. A 12-year bodybuilding pro by 1997, she'd gained fame and notoriety thanks to an association with Howard Stern that led her (via, bizarrely a NEO tournament in Japan) to Extreme Championship Wrestling and eventually to WWE.

Capturing the attention of Vince Russo as much of Stern's output did, she was thrust into the spotlight as Sable's bodyguard, but left to flounder when the Women's Champion left the company mere weeks later. The matches almost always sucked thanks to Bass' lack of making her obvious physical dominance feel real within the confines of the predetermined action.

With no major companies interested in the longer-term investment of it all and lingering legal issues with WWE in particular, she floated around the indies before working her last match in 2002, 15 years before her passing and presumably long enough to leave the industry in the rearview mirror.
