Should this just be restricted to his WWF work? In ring, that's where his sloppiest/worst matches were mostly.

Vs Eric Bischoff at....I wanna say No Way Out 03. That did happen right? It did suck right? It did, but it was Austin stunning Bischoff about 5 times and JR going completely batshit insane. Crowd was NUTS for it too, so it's really hard to put it on a worst list. I'd say that handicap match with Ric Flair and the Big Show at Judgment Day 02, right before Austin left.

Let's be fair here, 1997-2003 crowds usually went "batshit insane," whenever Austin hit the ring. Regardless of the fact of what they were seeing was good or bad.

I think we can just put everything Austin did in 2002 as one whole entry. He was completely uninspired. Even his match with Jericho at No Way Out was awful. There's also that terrible six man tag with Big Show, Scott Hall and X-Pac vs Austin, Bradshaw and Flair with Ric's heel turn that everyone saw coming. Those early post-draft Raw's were really, really bad.

vs Muta from Spring Stampede I believe... it was back when throwing somebody over the top rope was a DQ.

Vs Jim Duggan WCW Fall Brawl 94 Vs. Vince & Shane KOTR 99 I was just going to say the Jim Duggan squash from Fall Bawl. And the kicker is that Duggan was a surprise last-minute replacement for Steamboat

Scott Hall at Wrestlemania 18. Came in to post this. Hall was the 'worker' of that group and that match is dogshit, aside from Kevin Nash's amazing ref elbow drop.

I remember his match against Mr Perfect being hugely disappointing, not sure if it was actually bad though.

And Hall's awesome sell of the Stunner. I still say it should have been Austin vs Angle at Wrestlemania 18, just to blow-off their great feud. A random match on Raw is not the blow-off that feud needed or deserved.

I wouldn't even put the Hacksaw match on here, not worth even remembering. The Muta match was sorta dull but not really actively awful or anything. But yeah, Austin in 2002 was seriously the worst top tier wrestler maybe ever. He was awful in every single capacity. His matches sucked, his promos sucked, and his act devolved into shtick with the "WHAT?" trash.

vs. Undertaker at Backlash 2002. Damn it's a chore to sit through, and they normally have good matches with each other.
