Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 2, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2018 Last year's winner: REBEL VS SHELLY MARTINEZ, TNA ONE NIGHT ONLY Which match was just the worst for you this year? However you look at it, it wasn't a banner year for Randy Orton, but which match is your pick? Vote and discuss below! The candidates: Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt, House of Horrors Match - WWE tries something different and it's appalling Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt, WrestleMania 33 - featuring spooky projections on the ring! Randy Orton vs Jinder Mahal, Punjabi Prison Match - when Great Khali's return is the highlight of the match Roman Reigns vs Undertaker, WrestleMania 33 - when it became clear poor Undertaker is getting old Team Raw vs Team SmackDown Live (men's match), Survivor Series - in which all new stars must be sacrificed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 Feel sorry for Orton ending up on the list three times. Nowehere near his fault. Reigns/Taker on the list is laughable. Obviously because it's high profile but every single Mahal match bar the recent one with AJ has been ten times worse and 95% of main roster women's matches are million times worse.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 2, 2018 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's House of Horrors. It has to be House of Horrors. I can watch a bad match, I can watch a disappointing match, I can watch a godawful match, but this was an EMBARRASSMENT and its unforgivably terrible shamefulness should never be forgotten.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Orton vs Bray from Mania 33, namely because I was there and it nearly made me fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukamania Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Don't get the hate for Roman/Taker, it wasn't MOTY but it wasn't a DUD either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 Exactly, especially given the fact Taker has struggled to have a really decent match for years now (Punk?). The other matches on there are far worse. It's Orton/Wyatt at Mania for me. It didn't help that I had no interest in the match going into it (nor did anyone else), and felt they should've thrown Harper in there as a wildcard, but the match was shit and the projection stuff was fucking awful. It wasn't even hokey, it was pure wank. I can't think of an instance where the crowd has been more dead for a WWE title match at WrestleMania. The House of Horrors at least provided a bit of morbid curiosity, the Survivor Series match was more a case of poor booking decisions rather than shit in-ring action and the Punjabi Prison match had Khali doing a slow walk-in!

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's Orton and Wyatt at mania. Shit match, made worse by the ring projections. You knew from the start that they were in trouble when Orton was accompanied to the ring by a single giant CGI sperm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 How did NINE people think Roman vs. Taker was worse than two separate Orton vs. Wyatt matches? House of Horrors inches it for me despite WM33 having projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2018 Orton v Wyatt at WM 33, no doubt. As PunkStep rightly points out, it was the bloody WWE title match and they did that with it. I was sort of into their feud too, but they had no chance having any sort of decent match with those projectors spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Mania 33 Orton vs Wyatt for me. I was a big Wyatt Fan and that match killed me with all that silly maggots/worms shit going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maestro Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Definitely Orton/Wyatt at Mania. Awful and genuinely embarrassing to watch. Controversially, I enjoyed House of Horrors. I'm aware that it wasn't good but it was pure Wrestlecrap at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 The build to that Bray/Orton Mania match was great.The idea of Harper in there as a triple threat/2 on 1 handicap match added intrigue, then they blew the whole build in a matter of weeks on Smackdown. The match itself was dull and that hokey dokey projection stuff was just silly, especially when we all knew Orton was winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
