Every WWE SummerSlam Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best
12. The Kat Vs Terri Runnels (SummerSlam 2000)
Left with little else to do following their WrestleMania 16 'catfight' earlier in the year, The Kat and Terri Runnels were forced to wear even less and expose even more in SummerSlam 2000's unfortunately-titled 'Thong Stinkface' match.
As apparent from a stipulation that probably had Jim Cornette attempting to swallow his own tennis racket whole, the only way to win was to perform Rikishi's trademark gross-out manoeuvre on your opponent, all whilst sporting the non-existent bikini bottoms.
Empty titillation and 'comedy' followed, as Jim Ross sardonically critiqued their 'deep crotch slams', whilst Jerry Lawler squealed himself to neargasm as per bloody usual.
Of all the unsavoury moments from the Attitude Era that don't age well, this sort of mistreatment of women at large is probably the most cringeworthy to revisit. 'It was different back then' applies to a point, but no 21st Century match should really have been this exploitative, no matter the expectation or game willingness of those involved.
And, objectively speaking, it was horrendous. Neither could wrestle, rendering nearly all their combat moments horribly exposed to the elements. The fans went ballistic for the stinkface finale though, highlighting again how in touch WWE were with their audience in just about every conceivable way that year.
