9. The Warrior
Wrestling fans weren't exactly calling for The Ultimate Warrior to return to the business in 1998, but there was one man that was supposedly hoping for just that... Hulk Hogan. As the story goes, Hogan "wanted to get his win back", so he pitched the idea to have WCW bring Warrior in for a "dream match" between the two. Of course, Warrior pinned Hogan at WrestleMania 6, and he never got his chance to beat him, so this was clearly something that was important to Hogan and his ego. What we ended up getting was one of the worst wrestling matches of all-time (Warrior VS Hogan at Halloween Havoc 1998), one of the more convoluted matches ever (a 3 VS 3 VS 3 War Games at Fall Brawl 1998), a match that had no business taking place on free television (Warrior and Sting VS Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart), and a wrestler that was nearly paralyzed (Davey Boy Smith landed on the trap door that Warrior was using for his entrances, got a spinal staph infection, and was hospitalized for over six months). Mix that in with "magic smoke" that Warrior would use on the nWo, which would knock all of them unconscious except for Hogan, as well as Warrior appearing in a mirror where only Hogan (and everyone watching at home) could see him, and you have one giant mess of a stint. He was only there for a couple months, but Warrior's time with WCW will go down in infamy as one of the more pointless and costly decisions the company ever made.
