Not a Great Wrestlemania match: Ashley Massaro vs. Melina--Wrestlemania 23

On one level, this match didn't stand a chance because of what happened just moments before: Vince McMahon had been shaved bald by Donald J. Trump and Bobby Lashley during a red-hot match that also featured the dearly departed Samoan Smashing machine Umaga.

But really, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, because this match is probably the most terrible women's title match in history, far worse even than Wendi Richter vs. the Spider Lady (Fabulous Moolah.) The only thing that you can say about this match is that it was blessedly short.

Melina was, of course, a gifted athlete, but Ashley Massaro was a model with little experience who had won the Diva Search. Her main reason for being involved was that she had recently posed for Playboy. Literally, no one has ever said anything good about this match.

The lumber-jills entering the ring and trying to salvage something was also a dull spot in this poorly executed match.
