From off this list it's a tie between Chamber of Horrors and WeeLC. But it honestly pains me to hear that WeeLC is a "bad match", I will forever argue it was a great match. But alas, I see it frequently on "worst match" lists. Really? Meltzer gave it 3 stars and I can't recall ever seeing anything but praise for WeeLC. What lists have you seen it on? Mostly unofficial lists from people on reddit (yeah I know). I honestly think they bag on it because they can't even comprehend that sort of match could be anything but a joke. It was legit. It was awesome. And it's an example of why I love the WWE (when it actually tries)

Yeah I could only show five matches to a non fan to get them into wrestling WeeLC would be one of them.
Out of this list four doinks. It was on my most unusual matches vhs. That match was harmless fun and Mable looked like a beast.

My memory is fuzzy, but was this Punjabi Prison match the one where Khali was supposed to be in it and then got pulled because of "elevated liver enzymes" and was inexplicably replaced by the Big Show? That's the one. Anyway I voted for the Kennel from Hell - what an insanely terrible match. A match that was absolutely never going to work, I can't believe that someone pitched that and wasn't laughed of the building. Had nobody in the company ever even met a dog before? Hell, that's something I am not sure if they could get away with it in one of their current "cinematic" matches, much less live.

To this day those have to be the two matches I've watched the most times in my entire life.

I'm imagining cinematic rehash of Kennel from Hell > Shorty G is Big Boss Man and Daniel Bryan is Al Snow.

Booker T/Bagwell just for the surrealism of it being presented like a Nitro match.

Batista vs JBL from GAB 05 is a good physical match. Honestly a lot of “slow big men” wwe matches (think Diesel vs Sid) have been pretty refreshing to watch lately

Voted Lesnar vs Goldberg.
Almost voted fake Rosie vs fake Trump. Not really for the match, but for the fans chanting TNA in front of Vince, who had that "oh s*** this actually sucks" look on his face.

My favorite bad match remains Rock Vs. Undertaker for the WWF Championship at the 1999 King Of The Ring.
The match started with Undertaker punching Earl Hebner in the face and almost immediately afterwards walking into a Rock Bottom.

Undertaker vs Undertaker from Summerslam '94
Really, I've got a soft spot for most of the New Generation era wacky Undertaker gimmick matches.

Oh man, I didn't realise we could do write ins. This is mine that's not on the list, it made me angry on so many levels. I liked it for the fact thatDX and NWO were in the match, something crazy to think of. And then Triple H won and ruined it. Agreed. The NWO run-in got a lot of online flack for the continuity failure. But personally I thought that & the DX stuff made it a fun nostalgia trip. I didn’t even have as much of an issue with the handshake as some. But HHH winning was definitely the wrong call. Fair disclosure: I watched it without hearing the commentary, which from what I’ve read, probably allows me to keep a higher overall opinion of the match sans ending.

Whenever I see somebody ask people to recommend them a fun match, there are quite a few mentions of WeeLC, all getting upvoted, and people agreeing with them. The people that bag on it seem to be in the minority.

I thought Cole/Lawler shouldve done the "ga-ga"/theatrics with austin/swagger and then lawler just killing Cole in about 3 minutes...no need for it to be nearly 15 minutes and cole attempting to do moves Should have been a 10 minute segment, all in. I remember being genuinely confused at what they were trying to achieve with Tomko vs Stevie. I voted Lesnar/Goldberg, however. Such a disappointing 'contest'. I'm glad they were leaving and the crowd shit all over them.

Kennel From Hell, especially with the alternate commentary from Mick Foley and Kevin Kelly, where they put it over like it's Flair/Steamboat. Comedy gold.
