5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 1990

1. Sid Vicious vs. The Nightstalker - NWA Clash Of The Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder

If you ever wanted proof that big-man matches rarely excite people, look no further.

Sid Vicious and the Nightstalker (a.k.a. Adam Bomb/Bryan Adams) wrestled a terrible match that was meant to bore fans from the opening bell. While I understand that one should not expect much from someone wrestling their first match ever (such was the case for the Nightstalker), one would expect that a rookie would do their best when wrestling a fairly important wrestler like Sid.

Maybe the bookers knew that the Nightstalker couldn’t do much against Sid, which is why they proceeded to book one of the dumbest segments in WCW history. The match got interrupted due to outside interference, only for the Nightstalker to bring out a foreign object with which he’d attack Sid.

But this wasn’t just any foreign object; it was a BATTLE AXE. Yes, a double-bladed, medieval battle axe that the Nightstalker swung at Sid as if he were stuck in the 13th century.

Granted, obviously Sid dodged the battle axe, but then things got worse as shenanigans led to Sid winning by shoving Nightstalker to the ground for the win.

This was one of the most ridiculous wrestling matches ever booked, and not even in a so-bad-its-funny sort of way. It was a poor match worsened by a lame finish and featured the single-most ridiculous weapon ever brought into a wrestling ring. This match easily deserved its -4 star rating.
