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

5. Rob Black (0.44/10)

A low vote with Cagematch users won't be the first popularity contest Rob Black has lost, and that all comes down to the reputation he developed as the distasteful owner of the only slightly less distasteful Xtreme Pro Wrestling.

He occasionally stepped into the  XPW ring to get physical, but his performances were laughably bad, and the man himself was dislikable enough to earn this score despite only having a single match to his name. Black booked himself in an XPW World Heavyweight Title Losers Leave XPW tag team match in 2001, partnering with: Johnny Webb to defeat Josh Lazie and Sabu, but his name didn't belong with Webb and Lazie, let alone the 'Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal Maniac'.

Beyond wrestling, Black's work in pornography via his Extreme Associates organisation has landed him in legal trouble numerous times, and his morally and ethically questionable choices were enough to land him and XPW a Dark Side Of The Ring episode in 2021.
