50 Worst WCW Moments Ever

44. So Much For A Stretcher Match

It's believed that the so-called 'Stretcher Match' pitting Sid Vicious vs. El Gigante from SuperBrawl I in 1990 is used as a form of torture in some countries. That's remarkable, because the match only lasted around two minutes before mercifully coming to an end. Somehow, despite that short length, Sid vs. Gigante felt longer than a 60-minute Iron Man bout.

The future Giant Gonzalez's selling was pathetic, and Sid didn't even leave on a stretcher in the end. So, what was the point in any of this rubbish? Some matches look better on paper than in execution, but this doesn't even have that distinction.

Everybody backstage should've known this was a terrible idea.
