What is the worst match in WWE over last 10 years?

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Jesus this match still gives me nightmares. It was a plodding mess until they did the Jeff Hardy bait and switch that resulted in Edge coming out

[thecrusherwi]

I can't imagine one that was as bad or as disappointing as Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon.

[BigWill]

Lawler vs Cole at Mania was pretty bad, and the ending made the match even worse.

[Mozenrath]

If we're not talking about overly long affairs, probably something with Rosa. Kelly Kelly's debut match wasn't ten years ago yet, was it? That was also... interesting.

Happened in 2007. Went 10 Minutes Longer than it should have on top of segments backstage, and got a TNA Chant going from the crowd to an absolutely horrified Vince McMahon despite the fact this shit was his idea

I don't think wrestling as a whole has ever reached more of a low point than what was that 'Match" honestly, and Micheal Cole wrestled Jerry Lawler at a WrestleMania... and that's a pretty close second.

Kaitlyn vs. Maxine

It was a real match between two actually trained wrestlers (sort of) while the other matches listed here except the Kozlov match had either non-performers or retired people in them.

[CH Punk]

"We had one of our worst ratings last week, what should we put as a main event..."

I get that it was bad, but there's no way that was disappointing - were people ever expecting it to be good?

It's my choice too. Nothing has been worse than that.

CM Punk vs. Triple H (Night of Champions '11)
Overbooked mess of a match. I hated it so, so much.

Oh my god this. The match was so bad that Vince started to banter with the crowd due to their chanting.

They kind of rushed through the proper match structure. Ok, Bret can't take a bump or even basically be touched, everyone knew that going in. The whole match was Bret putting Vince in the Sharpshooter. Instead, they made it LumberJack, had Vince buy off the Harts, only to screw Vince, which they all unveiled before anything happened. Plus, it went on far too long.

It should've been Bret hits Vince, Vince begs, Bret beats him up with a chair, sharpshooter, done. 5-minutes, tops.

I wasn't expecting a five star back and and forth classic, but I did expect Bret to passionately beat over a decade's worth of frustration and personal tragedy into the man responsible for almost ruining his life.

Instead, we got the Hart Dynasty slowing the whole thing to a crawl so they could do the top rope Hart Attack to the floor (which was impressive, but just took too damn long for how early it was in the match), followed by Bret just casually wailing on Vince with some weak ass lead pipe shots, before mercifully ending it with the Sharpshooter at least five minutes after the whole thing should have ended. Worse yet, I was in the crowd and as the match droned on, you could just feel the entire building just mentally checking out.

On the bright side, I don't think this match should be anyone's pick, as Cole vs. Lawler was worse in every aspect possible and was even longer to boot.

Cole vs. Lawler. Haven't seen Bret vs. Vince, but I might watch it on the Network if I ever feel like getting depressed.

I find it very telling that "Mr. McMahon Presents" is featured so prominently in that pic. It's as though he's so proud of that crap being his own idea he didn't realize how big of a stinkbomb it would end up being.

The Harts should have turned during the match, not before. They were face, heel, face before anything happened.

[Timeless Hayterade]

Jerry Lawler vs Michael Cole. What should have just been Jerry Lawler squashing Michael Cole in ten seconds or less turned out to be a long, drawn out, boring piece of shit. The fact that this match ended in the way that it did in order to ensure that this feud continued was really stupid. Like I said, it should have just been Lawler squashing Cole in ten seconds or less with Austin delivering Stunners aplenty afterwards. This match makes Undertaker vs Giant Gonzales and Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg look like five star classics.

[Deleted]

If Cole/Lawler or Bret/Vince happened any other time besides WrestleMania, it would be quickly forgotten and not be as despised.

Anything involving multiple divas in a match. Has there ever been a good one?

Yes.

Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks for the Women's Championship at this past WrestleMania.

I would argue that it was the match of the night.
