10 Wrestling Matches That Seriously Took The Piss

Sharmell and Jenna Morasca were not professional wrestlers, and it was thus somewhat unfair to expect a professional wrestling match when the contest was announced for 2009's Victory Road pay-per-view. But that's what TNA booked, and they can thus take responsibility for the epic scale of the catastrophe that followed.

Former reality star Morasca entered the ring by sliding, legs akimbo, through the bottom and middle ropes, almost exposing herself in the process. She almost certainly felt as though she had to in order to help this mess over the line. Rather than leaning almost entirely on the talents of Awesome Kong and Sojo Bolt acting as corner-women at ringside, the match instead focussed almost entirely on the two untrained stars playing at pro wrestling, punctuated by possibly the most infamous collection of right and left slaps ever thrown.

Morasca's wild swings were gif'ed forever, to the point where they'll surely exist existentially long after gif'ing itself has been rendered obsolete. It swept the board in year-end 'Worst' awards, and rightfully so, but mainly just showed the company up as a promotion destined to be "LOLTNA" for life. WWE were routinely putting untrained models in matches on Raw and SmackDown at the same time, but nothing took the piss as egregiously as this.
