20 Absolute Worst Wrestlers EVER (... According To YOU!)
The internet casts its critical eye over the very worst in wrestling history, and nobody's safe!
The internet is a cold and brutal place.
You know that, because you're on it right now reading this, but typically a WhatCulture list is a cosy warm blanket around the shoulders compared to some other sites and platforms. Where you can be rated, you can be slated, and where there are opportunities to praise, there are just as many to punish. Here's where the arbiters and ombudsmen of the online wrestling space Cagematch come in.
Their records lovingly document everything every wrestler has done, allowing legacies to be secured forever amidst walls of fascinating data and details. They also permit users to score everything out of ten, ensuring that the industry's best are showered with yet more plaudits from the hardest of hardcore fans.
This is not that list.
Reversing the filter, here are the 20 wrestlers that account for the lowest scores in the entire database. In the interest of some fairness, the wrestlers in question had to have a minimum of 40 votes to indicate if they'd made enough of a real impact, but beyond that, here are those that the internet's most dedicated user base decided that this lot really were the worst of the worst.
Strap in...
20. Rodney (1.54/10)
As a member of the Mean Street Posse, Rodney was the embodiment of WWE’s late-'90s tendency to throw just about anyone on television, regardless of wrestling ability.
A childhood friend of Shane McMahon, Rodney had the look of a Greenwich rich kid but none of the athleticism or skill required to make a meaningful impact in the ring. His role as part of the Mean Street Posse was to play the cowardly heel alongside Pete Gas and Joey Abs, but Rodney's inexperience was glaring every time he stepped through the ropes.
Lacking any real presence, his matches away from the one storyline he belonged in were tedious, and it became clear that his role should have only ever been to enhance Shane's heel credibility. Rodney’s wrestling was awkward, and his inability to work even basic matches dragged down the quality of the segments he appeared in. He was part of a novelty act, but especially on a 2000 roster stacked with legitimate talent, Rodney felt like dead weight.
