5 Worst wrestling matches of 1998

#3 Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan – WCW Uncensored 1998

Randy Savage was once considered one of the best wrestlers in the world, and Hogan was once its most iconic figure. By 1998, both of them had fallen so far from grace, and it showed in this match.

In true WCW fashion, nothing in this match made sense and there were so many bizarre occurrences that it makes your head hurt. The first half of the match featured Hogan literally doing one type of offense and then Savage would do the same thing (down to the moment when Hogan hit Savage with a belt, and then Savage hit Hogan with a belt).

Then, both of them brawl outside…in a cage match. But because this is WCW, no one ever explained the rules, i.e. if you win by pinfall/submission or escaping the cage or both. So upon first viewing, it looks like they’ve both won (or lost?) and want to keep brawling. It’s so confusing it’s impossible to follow any of this.

More shenanigans followed with interference (because, WCW), and this time it involved the Disciple (a.k.a. Brutus Beefcake) and then Sting, who evened the odds for Savage only for Savage to hit him and then Hogan again, changing allegiance twice in less than five minutes.

Even without Vince Russo at the helm, this match was completely asinine and now finds itself on the ‘worst of’ collection for both Hogan and Savage.
