The worst Austin match graphic had to be the ones from around 2004-2007 where he's folding his hands and has this weird creepy grin. It's completely the opposite of what you'd expect Austin to look like.

I love this thread too, let's see more rather bad graphics! haha Here's a few for you. Really confusing ones too. The Austin/Undertaker match for Summerslam 1998 was booked before the July PPV, so they were able to hype it immediately following Fully Loaded. Now, when Austin and Taker won the Tag belts at the IYH Event, Taker made off with both belts post-match, and the WWF wanted their promo graphic to reflect that. Fair enough.  Two weeks later, The Undertaker gave up possession of one of the Championship belts to Steve. Updated graphic time.  Only, hold on. Austin's got the Winged Eagle belt he won at Wrestlemania XIV... Vince had a weird obsession with bringing that belt back it seemed. He had it in a case to award either The Undertaker or Kane the night after Breakdown. Anyway, the boys lose the belts to Kane and Mankind. And the graphic goes back to normal.  Awesome backwork there. I had never seen a graphic with Austin and the Winged Eagle. While it did look cool on him, the bigger winged eagle just fit ihm so much better. |

Another odd factor. I'm pretty sure that's a '97 image of Austin with the IC Belt they've shopped. The Winged Eagle just doesn't look right, like in this image of Owen Hart with the European Title. Before  After  |

 I always hated this picture of Austin. He looks like he's hosting a redneck reality show on the History Channel. Funny you should say that... |

 I can see that they wanted it to be different than the others that were on the card that night. I always liked this graphic. Simple & to the point |

There was one of Jericho and the IC Title for Unforgiven 2002 (I think), when they tried to make it the championship move with Jericho   |

The whole Wrestlemania 27 match graphics were terrible (especially compared to both versions for WM28). I normally really think the graphics are great and don't get appreciated enough for how much time it must take to do them, especially the ppvs one's. But the wm27 one's were terrible

 Sheer randomness. Six people taking up four corners. Kane-fused? Two in the ring and one posted at each corner on the outside? |

Ted Dibiase is glowing Even now, I find it incredibly silly that a pay-per-view called Hell in a Cell was sponsored by a TMNT game. On that end, does anyone have the GIF of the Turtles dancing at the PPV? I know it's not relevant to the thread (which I am enjoying), but it always cracks me up. |

  Always irks me when they face the wrong direction. Lookup the match card for Summerslam 2007 everyone got 3 poses before one was randomly selected. I always liked that one.   This one was funny with the boxer guy doing jabs in this one. Another one from this show was the graphic for the Noble/Nidia Blindfold match. They 'shopped in a blindfold that moved with Noble.  Is there anyway to look tough/intense/whatever in these without looking like you're taking a dump??  |
