Having most of the like >1 minute matches on the bottom here has me thinking, is it at all possible to have a GOOD thirty second match? Or is that just inherently unsatisfying on a technical level? Yet Hart Foundation vs. Bolsheviks is going to be a good match cause it was a squash.

This list seems to have been created with the idea that short matches mean bad matches. That's a pretty silly way to look at things, IMO. For instance:
1. Daniel Bryan losing to Sheamus was a shocking way to start a PPV and kickstarted D. Bry's run. Not a bad match. 2. Taker showing up and schooling Cena was a fun 4-5 minute romp that got the crowd hyped and Taker looked great. 3. Bundy/SD Jones served a purpose.
There are others on there too. I know it's all subjective, but the idea that the Diva's Invitational, Goldberg vs. Braun and Big Show/Kane/Santino/Kofi vs. The Corre were better matches than Taker/Cena is laughable.

Some of them I haven't seen (and some I just straight up don't remember), but Cole vs. Lawler is still the worst for me. It seemed like it went on for an hour.

You could almost say (maybe it's a stretch, but....) Bundy/SD was the start of getting him ready for Hogan the next year. I agree with that match NOT being terrible.

It has to be someone who REALLY has that kind of whupping coming, but at the same time, has to be someone where fans are willing to let them catch said whupping. Take Daniel Bryan v Sheamus for example. Bryan was being a big cowardly heel, hiding behind AJ Lee and loopholes in matches to technically win them, bragging about it all in the most obnoxious ways, so on and so forth. Him losing in 18 seconds at WrestleMania made logical sense in storyline, and would've been seen as great karmic justice for the heel's misdoings... If it wasn't for the fact that the whole schtick had gotten really over and fans wanted him to still be champion. So naturally, that happens... I get your arguement but imo Cody vs Big Show was the match for the 17 second match not DB vs Shamus. In the Storyline wise db had to be foisted by his own pitard but in order to have a "moment" like the Cody Big Show match was building to that's where you do the 30 second match

He was a right goddamn dick. The Sheamus/Bryan feud started by the babyface Sheamus attacking heel Bryan after his Elimination Chamber which...he deserved, I guess?

Crush Vs. Doink seems kind of random. It was mostly just boring, and double Doinks made up for it. There were two worst matches at IX in Undertaker Vs. Gonzalez and Razor Vs. Backlund, in my opinion.
