7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (May 1)

7. Garbage Land

When booking a match, ideally one of the participants should come out of it looking better. Otherwise, you're kind of wasting everyone's time. This is roughly what we see for 2-and-a-half hours on Raw every week. Basically, neither Braun Strowman or Kalisto came out of their epic dumpster match smelling any fresher.

Now, I'm not a pro wrestler. I don't like pain or working out or attention. But I think I could have handled a three-foot fall in a dumpster and been able to walk away from it. If that's all WWE had planned for Kalisto, they probably should have used some camera trickery and made it look like Strowman pushed the dumpster backstage and then threw it to the moon or something. A small "bonk" to the floor wasn't that impressive. "Bah God! Kalisto MAY HAVE A BRUISE on his leg! That dumpster had a family!"

It seems that most fans also didn't know that one could win a dumpster match simply by having their opponent step on the garbage instead of closing the lid. Is that what separates it from a casket match?

Well, the match/spectacle really just made Braun look silly because his dumpster push off the stage was less "Oh my God!" and more "Oh God. That was it?"

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
