Ranking Who Was REALLY The Worst Wrestler Every Year 1990-2021

5. 2017 - Jinder Mahal

Giant Gonzalez Eva Marie
WWE

Four months removed from the match that changed everything - Kenny Omega Vs. Kazuchika Okada I - WWE resisted the sweeping change and strapped up Jinder Mahal in a dismally transparent, cynical attempt to break into a new market.

Jinder, mostly, was competent fundamentally. He even, with a mystified crowd playing along out of desperation, orbited the gentlemen's three. He was however the worst wrestler in the spot, woefully unable to generate a legitimate big match atmosphere.

He couldn't even do his own finish correctly at SummerSlam, and he botched earnest fan investment just as badly.
