10 Wrestling Matches You Should NEVER EVER Watch

1. Finlay & Little Bastard* Vs. Boogeyman & Little Boogeyman - WWE No Way Out 2007

*Little Bastard is the performer who would become Hornswoggle, and not Vince McMahon's perception of Christian.

So this match featured one good worker, one all-time bad worker, a serviceable comedy little person and a novice little person. Boogeyman was the worst wrestler in the match.

Watching this atrocity is more painful than the death Muammar Gaddafi endured.

It was simply unacceptably boring farce. Those words are oxymoronic. They are not allowed to exist in succession, and yet, in this audience-of-one attraction, Finlay twisted Boogeyman's arm into a wrist lock at the opening bell, at which point the stupidity revealed itself. This is pro wrestling, Ideally, it pits two stars against one another, one you hate, one you love, both you can believe in. This was a voodoo witchdoctor selling for a hold and then striking back with a fireman's carry. It wasn't a spectacle, or even a bit of daft fun for those who might like and are free to enjoy that sort of thing. It was bad wrestling dressed up ridiculously.

Little Boogeyman attacked Finlay with his ass. It was perversely amusing, when Finlay fired back with a stiff kick to the head, but that becomes less funny when you consider that the pitch behind it was "Let's make the old man laugh by hiring a little person to put worms in his mouth and get brained by a notoriously stiff talent".
