10 WWE Stipulations That Only Had One Good Match

Nobody was laughing when Vickie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero slipped around in slop at Extreme Rules 2009. Their pig-sh*t infused brawl with Santino Marella in drag (as his "sister" Santina) was an abomination; asking people to pay pay-per-view dollars to see that rubbish was an insult.

In Your House 5's 'Hog Pen' try? Slightly different.

Yours truly will defend this one to anyone who will listen. It fit Henry O. Godwinn's farmer gimmick, and was designed to be everything the silver-spoon, stuck-up Hunter Hearst Helmsley would hate. The pair also didn't try to work Flair vs. Steamboat - they went out of their way to present the match as Triple H's worst waking nightmare.

Trips himself has admitted that taking Godwinn's slop was his idea in the first place. He loved working the silly match, and viewed it as a means to connecting with the WWF's casual audience. Lord only knows what Vickie Guerrero thought of her own 'Hog Pen' horror show.
