5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 1990

4. Paul Ellering vs. Teddy Long – NWA Capital Combat – Hair vs. Hair Match

The only good thing about this match was that it was incredibly short, going less than two minutes from start to finish. There wasn’t anything special in this ‘match’; both Ellering and Long just hit punches on each other and used a loaded glove to end the match.

This match felt like it was done just to waste time. It was a hair vs. hair match, although that didn’t really mean much given that Long was already balding when the match started.

Obvious booking error aside, this match wasn’t awful, by any means. It was a forgettable two-minute match that had a nonsense stipulation, but it wasn’t especially harmful in any way. If this was a match between two top stars, that would’ve been much worse.

Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be the last time that a wrestling booker would put two non-wrestling managers in a match against each other. In fact, such a gimmick would happen many times in the coming years, and some of those were way, WAY worse than this one.
