20 Absolute Worst Wrestlers EVER (... According To YOU!)

9. Eddy Steinblock (0.65/10)

Eva Marie worst ever
Wrestling Legends

Known (ish) for his time in German wrestling and brief appearances on the international stage, Eddy Steinblock was a clear example of a wrestler whose size and look couldn’t compensate for his lack of ability.

There have been many like him, but perhaps Steinblock earned his negative stripes because Cagematch has roots in Germany. Or perhaps that's generous and the work of his that was visible to the wider world was almost uniformly terrible. Hunt him down on YouTube and the criticisms are consistent - matches are plodding with little-to-no psychology or pacing. Even the shorter shots drag as a result.

His size may have drawn some attention, but his in-ring work consistently failed to deliver, making Steinblock a footnote in wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. And for one of those all-time worst wrong reasons exhibitions, check out his match with another performer who features elsewhere on this list.
