10 Wrestling Matches You Hated Before You Even Saw Them

5. Braun Strowman Vs. Tyson Fury

Event: WWE Crown Jewel 2019

Why Fans Hated It: Tyson Fury might be able to punch through walls as a boxer, and he even has some sort of cheeky charm as an interviewee/personality, but he's no pro wrestler and never will be. His sole (to date) WWE match was a quite awful mockery of the medium.

Where does one even start with this? Fury didn't move around the ring freely, and that made commentary claims that he looked like a natural seem laughable. Secondly, Tyson was in there with Braun Strowman; Braun has his strengths, but he was never going to carry someone who didn't have a clue to a worthy spectacle.

Then, there was the bogus count out finish.

That was plain bad, and should've played before boos. Sure, WWE's Saudi Arabian jaunts have been a struggle since they started proper in 2018, but this was next level bad. It was always going to be a clanger, to be fair.
