11 Legendarily BAD Wrestling Runs (With One ICONIC Moment)

10. "Wee-LC" Makes 3MB Worthwhile

This should've been one note and frankly woeful, but it turned into one of the most sneaky delights in modern WWE lore. Company chiefs slapped Hornswoggle vs. El Torito on the pre-show before Extreme Rules 2014 and gave them around 10 minutes to do what they could with the "Wee-LC" gimmick.

What followed was an absolute hoot of a match that’s well worth your time if you’ve never had the pleasure. It also turned out to be the biggest highlight of 3MB's entire run as a stable. Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal formed one of the worst supergroups ever in September 2012, and they’d only split when Drew and Jinder were released from their contracts in June 2014.

Yes, that was literally the month after Extreme Rules, so there wasn't much time to bask in the afterglow of this. At least we’ll always have Wee-LC, eh? All 3 members of 3MB got to shine next to Swoggle, Torito and the latter's pals Primo and Epico. Or...whatever they were called when masquerading as phoney bull fighters during a cartoonish era for the tag-team division.

Let's not rewrite history: 3MB sucked. McIntyre's career had hit the skids, Mahal was struggling himself, and Slater was a lost character years away from getting over because he had kids. If fellow fans can name even 3 (fitting) other banner moments they were involved in, this one would be surprised. They didn't really do much of note other than play air guitar and stare at the lights.

Wee-LC was a riot, thankfully.
