10 Wrestling Matches That Sucked So Bad You Can't Believe They Were Booked
7. Michael Cole Vs. Jerry Lawler (WrestleMania 27)
This embarrassment wasn't just booked: it was booked for the biggest show of the damn year.
Not only that, but the ridiculous battle of the announcers that saw Jerry Lawler compete against Michael Cole at WrestleMania 27 went an agonising 13 minutes.
For comparison, Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio was given just under 12 minutes to tell their story that night.
Who was this even for?
The Cole heel turn was already proving to be one of the most excruciating parts of weekly WWE programming, and the eventual feud between himself and 'The King' was WWE at its soap opera worst.
It wasn't even entertaining. It was just awkward and didn't belong anywhere near 'The Show of Shows.' But that's precisely where it ended up, with the iconic 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin on guest refereeing duties and Jack Swagger acting as Cole's ringside muscle.
Not a single soul anticipated a surprisingly impressive contest between the ageing veteran and the singlet-boasting announcer.
A dumb, rather offensive, and poorly worked bout - one that had its result reversed by the equally aggravating Anonymous GM - naturally did nothing for everyone involved, and will forever go down in history as one of the worst contests WWE ever had the audacity to force down fans' throats.
