5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 1999

#4 Vampiro vs. Oklahoma – Starrcade 1999

1999 was a year during which both WWE and WCW crossed the line with bad taste in angles and gimmicks. WWE had such awful things as a wrestler being ‘hanged’ and a dog being fed to its owner, while WCW had the character Oklahoma.

Oklahoma was writer Ed Ferrara playing a hammed-up version of Jim Ross, complete with stooped face mocking JR’s real Bell’s palsy. It was an utter mockery and in horrible taste, and was made even worse by putting Okahoma in a match.

Luckily said match went just under three minutes, but it was still terrible. For some reason, WCW felt that Vampiro couldn’t beat a non-wrestler on his own in less than three minutes, so they booked a group called the Misfits to run-in and help him beat down Oklahoma, which oddly didn’t cause a disqualification.

This felt like a complete waste of time and Vampiro actually looked worse leaving this match. He couldn’t beat Oklahoma on his own and needed help; the audience must’ve seen his character as a complete weakling for that to happen.
