#1 The Bushwackers vs. The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff – Heroes of Wrestling
Part 1:
Part 2:
‘Heroes of Wrestling’ is widely regarded as THE worst wrestling show of all time. Even if WWE were to somehow create a match featuring Roman Reigns wrestling himself, it would still be better than H.O.W.
The show was composed of matches featuring wrestlers long past their primes, including a main event between four wrestlers with a combined age of over 200. While WWE did that too at their Crown Jewel event, that match was a 5-star spectacle compared to this utter garbage.
Everything about this match was bad: the offense, the pacing, the selling, the presentation, the commentary, everything. It was abysmal, an affront to pro wrestling if there ever was one. The fans even chanted ‘USA, USA’ for this match, despite none of the four men being American.
As further testament to just how bad this eight-minute trash heap was, it received absolutely scathing reviews. Dave Meltzer initially rated it ‘absolute zero’ (i.e. zero degrees Kelvin which is about, -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit), before eventually settling on a still-awful MINUS FIVE STARS.
Meanwhile, Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly gave it “minus more stars than there are in the universe, and the universe is infinite.” If that won’t tell you how bad this was, I don’t know what will.
