10 Wrestling Matches So Annoying They Lose You In The First 60 Seconds

In another case of a bout looking like bad news from the get-go, who will ever forget that glorious moment in time that played host to a despicable heel Michael Cole going one-on-one with Jerry Lawler on The Grandest Stage of Them All?

In all honesty, this one had folks groaning the world over before either figure had even stepped inside of the Georgia Dome. But the way this absolute worst sort of slapstick circus eventually began to unfold was enough to leave those same fans wondering why they bothered to invest their energy in this surreal form of "entertainment" in the first place.

After the cowardly Cole simply refused to step between the ropes upon Special Guest referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's request, The King quickly set about brushing off former World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger like the nameless jobber he may as well have been in that moment.

I'll let you decide whether that or the visual of a veteran announcer repeatedly having his face yanked at a plexi-glass cube - as cries of "Jerry!" no doubt popped the mad billionaire in Gorilla - was the more offensive beat to infect an already rotten concept early on.

Either way, this one confirmed its status as soon-to-be infamous crap within a minute.
