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

19. Mark Madden (1.41/10)

Mark Madden’s WCW tenure is mostly remembered for his over-the-top and sometimes annoying commentary, but any brief glimpses of his in-ring efforts only solidified his status as somebody who should have just stayed in the booth. 

Known for his brash personality on the mic, Madden’s on-screen antics were often grating, and when he stepped inside the ring for a couple of novelty outings, things got even worse. Madden wasn’t a wrestler, and his involvement in physical segments felt like yet more desperate attempts by WCW to squeeze more heat from non-wrestling personalities

In an era already drowning in celebrity/novelty appearances, Madden’s in-ring contributions were abysmal. Whether taking a few stiff bumps or awkwardly colliding with his opponents, his performances couldn't elevate the lousy stories WCW attempted to tell. Worse still, the credibility Madden might have gotten across with his controversial commentary vanished whenever he laced up his boots.
