10 Worst WCW Matches In History
The 10 worst WCW matches ever
3. Vampiro vs. Sting - Great American Bash 2000
WCW was circling the drain by the Summer of 2000, with head writer Vince Russo evidently making it his life’s mission to speed up the company’s demise by presenting a show without a single redeemable quality.
The vast, vast majority of 2000’s Great American Bash was bad, awful, terrible, horrendous or otherwise appalling. The ‘Human Torch’ match between Vampiro somehow managed to top the steaming pile of excrement, though.
To win the match, one man had to take another by the entrance stage and light them on fire with a torch.
Sting started the match by changing the rules by hoisting the torch to the top of the entrance set and telling Vampiro he’d have to go up there if he wanted to make him extra-crispy.
The actual match portion, such as it was, could best be described as ‘meandering’, before they scaled the set – with Sting taking a bump onto some cardboard on the way up – in preparation for the big flaming finish.
With the lights flickering and spooky music playing over the PA system, Vampiro set fire to what was obviously a stuntman in Sting paint, before the poor bloke did his best Jeff Hardy impression and WCW crew members tried desperately to disguise his identity.
