The Kennel from Hell match from the Unforgiven pay-per-view in September 1999 deserves its own wing in the Hall of Shame. The concept was the very epitome of Vince Russo's creativity gone wild, with too many elements making it an insanely ridiculous cluster-eff. That the gimmick of the dogs around the ring failed miserably because they were not the vicious hounds expected only hurt the proceedings. That is, if the awful action provided by Snow and Boss Man inside the confines of the steel cage did not damn it to "all-time worst" status. Though there was not much they could reasonably be expected to do given the rules of the match, but that does not excuse the mindnumbing boredom fans experienced watching what was supposed to be the blowoff to a fairly entertaining midcard feud.
Erik Beaston is a freelance pro wrestling writer who likes long walks in the park, dandelions and has not quite figured out that this introduction is not for Match.com. He resides in Parts Unknown, where he hosts weekly cookouts with Kane, The Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango and The Boogeyman. Be jealous.
