WWE: 13 Hilariously Bad Gimmick Matches

1. The Kennel From Hell Match

If you didn't know this was going to be at the end, then you've obviously never witnessed it before. This train wreck will most likely go down in history as being one of the weakest, strangest, and decidedly terrible matches to have ever been put on television; just like every other Al Snow match. Now in the interest of fairness, let's take a look at this match step by step: you have Al Snow taking on Big Boss Man. Alright, not the two biggest names in wrestling, but they could put on a half decent match, right? Okay, now let's put them inside a steel cage, and let's add a couple attack dogs to surround the cage. That seems a bit much, but it sort of fits with the storyline, so that's not so bad. Now let's take the Hell in a Cell and drop it over the cage and the attack dogs. Wait, what? Now let's throw in the objective of the match, which is to climb over the cage, get past the attack dogs, jump to the cell wall, climb down, and get through the cell door. What is this, a wrestling match or a police academy obstacle course? At Unforgiven 1999, this was what the wrestling world was forced to witness. While there have been worse matches, what made this match in particular so hilariously bad was just how extreme it got over a ridiculous storyline involving Al Snow's pet dog being kidnapped by Boss Man. Plus, instead of attacking the wrestlers, the dogs would ignore them to go urinate and hump each other, though admittedly, it's pretty funny watching Snow and Boss Man pretend to be frightened by the docile creatures. The ending saw Al Snow win, but most wrestling fans can safely say that there are no real winners in a Kennel from Hell Match. Which other terrible gimmick matches deserve to end up on this list?
