10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Hide Their Anger At Doing A Job

3. Tori - WWF WrestleMania VX

Sable was the heel, technically, in her storyline with Tori heading into WrestleMania XV.

It was weird, but it was Vince Russo's creative. Basically, Tori had arrived as a stalker figure with no awareness nor respect of her hero's boundaries. Sable had made it expressly clear that she wanted no part of the advances made towards her. Tori, obsessed, did not listen until Sable gave her a Sable Bomb. setting up the Women's title match at the big show.

The match was atrocious. When they were trying to escape one another's holds, they couldn't stop falling on top of each other. When they were meant to hit each other, Sable missed a cross body block to the outside by miles. Working in two different universes, the match was as confusing as the build.

Might that explain Tori's boo-boo face heading into the ring? Or did she, an actually trained worker who before going on hiatus did the odd spot for All Japan Women, resent doing the job? Was Sable just that difficult to work with?

In any event, she walked to the ring with no discernible expression on her face at all. No determination, no game face, no nothing. Ever walked home and realised that you've passed a few streets in a total daze and simply arrived at your destination? Tori looked so disinterested in her performance that her entrance looked like an out of body experience.

Now, respectfully, Tori was not an incredible actor. Maybe she just forgot to do anything.
