12 February WWE PPV Matches That Totally Sucked

12. Tazz Vs. Big Boss Man (No Way Out 2000)

Tazz debuted in WWE at Royal Rumble, making a huge splash by beating milk-drinking Olympian Kurt Angle and dealing the previously undefeated wrestler his first loss. How did WWE Creative follow that match up? By catapulting Tazz into the main event? Letting him mix it up with The Rock and Triple H while simultaneously being kept strong for the inevitable p***ing contest between his badass shooter character and Steve Austin's badass beer drinker? Nope. Tazz was, instead, left off the card until the very last second. Then he was thrown into a match with Big Boss Man, who was going absolutely nowhere. What could have been a solid brawl between two hosses instead lasted roughly thirty seconds, then ended when Albert hit the ring to assist the former corrections officer in beating down the Human Suplex Machine. That's right; the awfully short, awfully ill-advised, just-plain-awful match was a setup for Tazz to be beaten down by two glorified job guys stuck in the midcard and treading water. And the company wonders why Tazz never lived up to his potential.
