Ashley Massaro and Khali at Mania 23. Ashley might have been worse than Khali on that night.

I've seen Erik Watts live, so that was a trip. Having said that, though, I think the worst might have been Alabama talent Ron Stalker, who looked like X-Pac trying to do the Undertaker's gimmick, and yeah, it was BAD.

One time, we booked one of our young cocky heels in a babyface turn angle. Has a short match, heels run in beat him down, another babyface makes the save, turns into a tag match. Whole thing was meant to take 10-12 minutes. It ended up taking 36 minutes of show time. This guy had gone into business for himself on his whole babyface turn angle by having a 15 minute singles match, babyface turn angle, 15 minute tag match, and the booker/promoter was pissed. He couldn't exactly walk out and tell them to go home, but it had the rest of us on the show having to cut our matches shorter to make sure the show ended on time because of it.
We had a show booked in a different town the next night, the booker text him and told him not to bother coming because he wasn't working for us anymore after his selfish performance the night before. The lad sent a text back saying that our promotion was shit, and that "just like CM Punk - I'M WALKING OUT!". I wish I could say I was lying about that last part, but i'm not.

I like Big Show, but I saw him live when he was super out of shape, and it was bad. The crowd chanted 'you can't wrestle', so he grabbed a mic and said 'I don't have to wrestle, I'm rich'. Like, decent comeback, but what you're showing us in the ring is that if you don't have to wrestle, you REALLY shouldn't. Random question. Was this in London? My grandmother. She could not sell that bodyslam thru the Thanksgiving dinner table if I'd paid her to. Well shit, man, maybe she would have sold it if you had paid her! This shit's fixed, kid! Get wise!

...probably whomever Pondo wrestles... He wrestled Crazy Mary Dobson/Sarah Logan on the show that I saw. Definitely not the worst I've ever seen, though the match itself was close to it.

Pretty much any "wrestler" that has tried it locally. I used to go to a promotion called SAW and their ring fell apart halfway into the show. The talent was ok I guess, though the top face was Vigo, an italian stereotype.
The other promotions that tried and folded weren't much better. There were a few guys that ran a wrestling "school". The workers were ok.

I hate to say this but Corey Graves in CZW when he was Sterling James Keenan, never seen someone go to the top rope and fall straight to the concrete so hard. May have been my 1st or 2nd live show ever.

Nope, Australia, but it's good to know it didn't just happen to us!

Let's see. Nathan Jones at the tail end of his WWE run (inoffensive comedy match against MFer!Crash Holly, so between late April and June of 2003), a green as goose shit Bobby Lashley just before his big "hard hitting, soft spoken" push (poor Regal, having to make that look good), and the Boogeyman (who was terrible and nearly injured Stevie Richards).
