As far as Rumbles go, I didn't think it was all that bad. Lacked believable main eventers, yes, but the match was put together well. Probably best known for Shawn and Bulldog both starting and finishing the match.

Chamber of Horrors match, mostly for Foley taking an insane amount of bumps including a DDT while on one of the Steiner's shoulders. Scott Steiner also cracked him in the face a few times with a kendo stick. Ha, ha, ha.....I'll second that, and add the Doomsday cage match at Uncensored 96 and Russo's Revenge Wargames matches as well.....terrible matches both, but damn entertaining in their own horrible way.....plus, I've always loved the idea of the multi layered cage.

I agree, despite the star power it was a fun match. But it generally love most of the Rumbles.

The blindfold match between Jake Roberts and Rick Martel at WM7.
And I'm not sure if one would call the "No Holds Barred" cage match between Hogan/Beefcake and Savage/Zeus a "bad match", but since Zeus is involved and it's not on any "greatest matches" lists, I'll add that one too. Ditto for Piper/Adonis at WM3 (minus the Zeus part, obviously).

Paisley vs Tygress vs Major Gunnz. It's such a train wreck that it has to be seen to be believed. And it barely lasts a minute, yet it's so horrible that it seems to go for an eternity. I never understood why WCW released Mona/Molly, yet held onto a big glut of talentless bimbos who couldn't work to save their lives. Like replacing Ricky Steamboat with a boatload of Stevie Rays and Van Hammers.

In the same vein I'll add the Tower of Doom match at the 1988 Great American Bash. I enjoy almost any match with a needlessly complicated large apparatus no matter how bad. So throw the 2 Punjabi Prison Matches in there too.

The sad thing is, that structure (The Multi Leveled ToD/Doomsday cage) could be put to great use, if bookers/writers didn't always feel the need to overbook shit with it. Have one guy start in thr bottom part against 1-2 guys (and a ladder), and if the guy is able to make it up to that next level, have a monster in each one of the mini cages, with the final goal being a belt that's positioned in the mini cage on top. Last Man Standing 10 count rules would be in play for the single guy. It'd be a HELL of a way to get an Underdog type (Daniel Bryan) over as The Real Deal. You could call it The Gauntlet.

Anything with Sid. Sid is the man who rules the world. If I need to be more specific, how about WrestleMania 8 vs. Hogan? I, to, have a strange fascination for Sid's career as a whole. I mean, he's the master and the ruler of the freakin' world!

Sting/Jeff Hardy...such an unfortunate train wreck that you can't help but to stare at.

I only saw the one from '06 Great American Bash, as a match, it was fine, where it fell apart was the entire story was about Undertaker getting redemption against Great Khali, only for the match to be him against Big Show. Because reasons.

Every single Sid moment in ECW. He'd come out to an insane pop, murder guys with about the hardest powerbombs and chokeslams ever and then bounce. It was the perfect use of Sid (and I say that as a lifelong fan of Sid)

Survivor Series 1993.
4 Doinks Vs Bam Bam, Headshrinkers and Bastion Booger.
I don't care.
I am unrepentant.
Top 5 match of all time.
