WWE aired some stinkers in the 1980s

This six-man from Madison Square Garden was all about the return of the legendary Bobo Brazil. 

Reportedly one of Vince McMahon’s favourite ever wrestlers, Bobo was put over big as ‘the most important African American wrestler in history’ as he made his introduction. 

Regrettably, the then-59-year-old was unable to convince anyone who might not have seen him in his prime just why he was such a big deal. 

Brazil looked to be in tremendous physical shape for his age, but immediately mistimed his spots during the opening exchanges and fell over at multiple points.

Bobo – and the match – never recovered and it all felt like it was being wrestled in slow-motion at times. 

The Samoan trio were willing to sell and be thrown around a bit, but it simply wasn’t not enough to salvage things.

After Brazil did his patented headbutts, Jones got double-teamed behind the ref’s back, providing a flat ending to a borderline embarrassing match.
