5 Worst Wrestling Matches of 1991

#3 Oz vs. Tim Parker – WCW Superbrawl 1991

This is one of those matches that was hyped up as a big deal only to be fail upon execution. Kevin Nash was unfortunate enough to be stuck playing the Oz character. No, seriously, he was dressed head-to-toe in garish clothing complete with fake hair and beard to make himself look like a seven-foot version of the Wizard of Oz.

Oz’s entrance took over four minutes, while his actual wrestling match took less than thirty seconds. He hit two clotheslines and a Powerbomb to end the match. While short, squash matches did become a common theme for Nash (who often had back problems and couldn’t do complicated moves), he was given a gimmick that was dead on arrival.

Any sane booker would’ve taken one look at Nash and would’ve given him a much cooler gimmick. What WCW did instead was take this enormous monster, give him a fake beard, and dress him up like a character from a film that was fifty-two years old at the time.

That makes perfect sense, right?
