10 Worst WCW Matches In History

The 10 worst WCW matches ever

5. Steve Austin & Terry Taylor vs. Bobby Eaton & PN News - Great American Bash 1991

Scaffold match great american bash 1991

The 1991 Great American Bash was one of the worst pay-per-views in WCW history, the legendarily bad show coming as the company was in turmoil following the shock departure of NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair. 

With serious bad vibes hanging over it, the event got off to the worst possible start with an infamously awful tag team Scaffold Match. 

Ignoring how random the combination of teams was, the match had a crippling logistical flaw; whatever genius made the scaffold for the match, made it way too narrow.

Not only could the four wrestlers not do any actual wrestling on the rickety death trap, they could barely walk along the platform without fear of falling 15 feet to the ring below. 

So nothing happened for eight agonising minutes, besides stalling, punching, stalling, more punching, stalling, climbing down and a little more stalling until the match just sort of ended for no adequately explained reason. 

They tried to make up for it with a bit of post-match wrestling inside the actual ring, but they were essentially trying to put out a raging house fire with a water pistol at that point.
