Ranking What Was REALLY The Worst Wrestling Match Every Year 1990-2021

23. 1999 - The Bushwhackers Vs. Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik, Heroes Of Wrestling

Nikolai Volkoff got so gassed in this legendarily pathetic farce that, spent, he simply threw his knee into Butch's c*ck in full view of the referee. He was aiming for his gut, but he was too knackered. The referee didn't give a f*ck.

Nobody did.

Volkoff, who also entered the best performance, illegally double-teamed Luke with the Sheik. The problem is that the Sheik no longer had any tendons in his knees and took about three minutes to do his spot. Butch had to pretend to be irate with the referee to make it work, and he spent the same amount of time winding up his arm to perform the "I'll punch you!" schtick.

It was the height of the match's athletic endeavour.
