3. WrestleMania 22 - The Boogeyman (vs. Booker T and Sharmell)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtN1lKpsnu4 It was suggested that Mark Henry challenging the Undertaker's streak at this Mania is a candidate for undeserving, but I'm going to give Mark a pass, based on his fake retirement speech last year. That swerve was worth a lifetime of forgiveness. However, there is another match on that card which deserves such "undeserving" recognition. From the Bottomless Pit, the Boogeyman! Though undefeated coming into WrestleMania, the Boogeyman was a comedy/carnival act who never really got over in terms of desired reaction. Forced into a farcical fit of overacting, Booker T and Sharmell were terrified of the Boogeyman. Their handicap match versus the worm-spewing freak is thankfully short, supposed comic relief meant to amuse, but failing to do so. Sharmell runs screaming after a worm-infused kiss, and the 5x champion is pinned after a cursory choke slam. Tell me Booker T couldn't have been better used (I'd say, "not at all" might have been better than this embarrassment). Gross in every way.
