5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2000

#2 Major Gunns vs. Miss Hancock – Rip Off The Clothes Match – WCW New Blood Rising

We couldn't find a video of this match, so here's a random photo of the PPV it took place on instead

There were so many things wrong with this match when it took place. First, it was between two people that weren’t particularly athletic, with one of them becoming known as Stacy Keibler in WWE.

The in-ring action was extremely limited, and it felt like little of note really happened. The Wrestling Observer rated it -2 stars for the terrible action, which is completely justifiable given what actually took place.

It’s the post-match ‘angle’ that really makes this a trash-heap. After the match was over, Hancock ‘suffered a miscarriage’ live on WCW programming. She began clutching her stomach and screaming in agony and the commentators began talking in ‘serious voices’.

It was one of the most disgusting ratings ploys ever executed in wrestling. no one wants to tune in to a wrestling program and see a woman writhing in pain because she miscarried. This is something that drives away potential new viewers, disgusts existing loyal fans, and likely offends people that experienced such trauma in real life.

The last thing anyone wants to see is a real-life tragedy being lampshaded in wrestling for a little bit of (negative) attention.
