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

30. 1992 - Rick Rude Vs. Masahiro Chono, WCW Halloween Havoc

Nailz worked one of the worst matches of the year, against Virgil at SummerSlam 1992, in which the useless lummox did f*ck all except choke his opponent and put him in rest holds.

Rick Rude Vs. Masahiro Chono, somehow, was a 22 minute Nailz match - just a deathly dull procession of chinlocks and submission holds spent almost exclusively on the mat.

Bereft of motion, much less energy, it felt even longer than a Seth Rollins heel promo.
