Worst Ending Ever
By Scott Keith on 23 October 2023
What are some of the worst endings to a big match at a PPV not including Hogan vs Sting or Cody vs Roman? Something that just had you so pissed off or disappointed you questioned continuing to watch the product because the booking was just that bad. Here are mine in specific order:
-Seth vs The Fiend-Hell in the Cell (totally killed Seth as a face and top act for years)
-The Fiend vs Goldberg (pretty much killed the Fiend Character)
-Kenny Omega vs Mox Exploding Barbwire Deathmatch (the idea was ridiculous in the first place, but the epic failure of the explosion was one of most embarrassing things I have seen in the last decade of wrestling)
-Jeff Hardy goes out wasted to wrestle Sting for TNA
-Cody loses against Jericho and can never challenge for the heavyweight title (this is still the top 3 worst angles AEW has ever done and was the first sign that Tony was a terrible booker by allowing this to happen. How do you let your most marketable star take himself out of top title contention forever when you are just starting your promotion)
-Not a PPV buy Baron Corbin vs Roman dog food match (WWE had reached its lowest point creatively)
-David Arquette wins the WCW title
To be fair David Arquette won the title on a nothing episode of Thunder when no one was watching anyway.
For me, an actual promotion killer was the NWA TNA weekly shows where they spent weeks building up to Raven getting his title match and then jobbing to Jeff Jarrett. That was enough for me and I don’t think I ever bought another one of the weekly’s. I certainly never bought another TNA show overall until Angle came in.
