10 Worst WCW Matches In History
The 10 worst WCW matches ever
1. Hollywood Hogan vs. The Warrior - Halloween Havoc 1998
One of the worst investments WCW ever made was signing the The ‘Don’t-Call-Him-Ultimate (unless you want to be sued)’ Warrior to a short-term, seven-figure deal in 1998.
The bloom was well and truly off the rose as far as Jim Hellwig’s cartoonish creation was concerned at that point, but WCW sensed the Monday Night War tide was seriously turning and brought him in for a boost.
Not only were his promos and segments leading up to his big grudge match with Hulk Hogan a total and utter disaster, but the bout itself was the worst in WCW history.
Rumour has it that Terrible Terry convinced Eric Bischoff to use Ted Turner’s chequebook and bring Warrior in so that he could ‘get his win back’, after putting the face-painted musclehead over in the main event of WrestleMania 6 a full eight-and-a-half-years earlier.
That match was a classic of its genre, a true clash of the titans that worked beautifully despite both men’s physical limitations. To call this match a car crash, however, would be an insult to car crashes.
It perfectly summed itself up when Hogan tried to use a fireball, only for it to malfunction and end up burning his own fingers instead.
Of course, Hogan won.
