5. The Legion Of Doom vs. The Disciples Of Apocalypse - Judgment Day 1998
Like the DOA and Los Boriquas a year earlier, the rivalry between the biker gang and the Legion of Doom in 1998 dragged on, with no real end in sight, surely the result of Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara having nothing else better for the two teams to do. Unluckily for fans, that meant a never-ending series of matches between two big, bruising teams, one significantly past their primes. For months, Hawk, Animal, Skull and 8-Ball stunk up the joint with some truly uninspired matches to go along with Creative's uninspired storytelling. Even the addition of Droz into the story late in the year, some young blood to go with the veteran workers that otherwise dominated the action, could not help spark interest in the program. As a result, the Judgment Day 1998 bout between the two teams became a glorified bathroom break more than anything else.
