5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 1996

#1 Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs. The Alliance to End Hulkamania - Tower Of Doom Match - WCW Uncensored 1996

This poster is the only semi-passable thing about this match

This is one of the most confusing matches ever conceived. It was the pinnacle of incomprehensible match ideas: three cages, each separated into four rooms, stacked on top of one another, for an 8-on-2 handicap match. And you thought WarGames was contrived.

As if the concept wasn’t bad enough, the action was worse. For 25 agonizing minutes, these ten men (plus one more later) ‘brawled’ inside the most unusual structure ever used in wrestling.

The word ‘brawl’ is in quotation marks because most of the wrestlers in this match weren’t selling or even fighting well; their offense was horrible, either due to the fact that they were uncomfortable inside this bizarre structure, or due to the fact that they were below-average wrestlers.

The poor action was amplified by awful commentary and weird moments (weapons appear without explanation) and incredible confusion due to the fact that no one knew what the rules were. Some of the wrestlers even brawled outside the cage, yet no one knew if the match was over or not.

Luckily for the confused audience, out came The Booty Man to save the day by hitting people with frying pans.

WCW booking, everyone.
