For my money it's Dino Bravo attempting to set the world bench press record at the first Royal Rumble. My god its so boring, and it just goes on, and on, and on. I believe it lasts around 20 minutes but it feels like it goes on for hours. There's also no real payoff to it at all unless you count Jesse Ventura defending it for the next 2 years whenever Bravo wrestled. It certainly didn't sell any tickets.
What choices do you guys have for the most boring segment ever?

I don't think anybody will able to top that one, but Piper's pit with Morton Downey Jr. at Mania 5 has to be up there.

Didn't some Nitros not have any wrestling at all in the first hour? Probably some segment on one of those.

Yeah, that Bravo segment was painfully bad.
Triple H's droning 20 to 30 minute monologues to start Raw for a while there deserve to be mentioned.
If this tells you how little I thought of it, I can't remember if it was WCW or TNA, but I remember a segment involving Bischoff and others that took about 45 minutes to try to make sense of the convoluted ending to the previous show. It did not work.

The Impact after Bound For Glory 2010 began with a 45-minute segment with Immortal that lasted through TWO commercial breaks. Then it was followed by a non-match with Tara laying down for Madison Rayne, then more talking.

That Nitro where they spent half an hour-plus just changing all of the signs and stuff over from WCW to NWO.

All armwrestling segments because they all involve the heel pulling away at the last minute trying to psyche their opponent out.

The infamous Undertaker/Big Show "Big Bike Adventure" (credit: Attitude Era Podcast) segment.
Any Triple H show opening half-hour promo.

Undertaker creates Mideon. Even my dad, who was a big UT fan, had no idea what they were doing to his character.

Stephanie ranting about Shane, alone in the ring, a few weeks before Mania for what felt like 20 minutes. Even though Raw ends at nearly 4 30 am here, that's the only time I've ever felt like falling asleep mid show

I'm convinced that Bravo bench press segment had more to do with his murder than the black market cigarette trade.

Does anybody have a link to the neverending Vic Steamboat promo? Somebody posted it here at one time, but I can't find it on youtube anymore.
A better question is, why would I want to find it?

The Piper picking his team before Uncensored was terrible. Just think at first they was going to let Piper have that team at the PPV

Yeah, I came in here to mention some of Undertaker's Ministry promos, and this one is at the top of the list. Even the white hot Attitude Era crowds got bored in the middle of these shitty promos.

Eh many things mentioned weren't that boring imo...bad for sure, but fascinating in a trainwreck way or at least interesting from a storyline perspective (Nitro announcers yakking about NWO, Big Show/Taker bond, also NWO Wolfpack beatdown on Flair in the desert)
Authority (2013-2016) and HHH (2002-2005) rambling on and on while the entire audience falls asleep is the correct answer
Also applies to Hogan's NWO heydays
