5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2001

3. Chyna vs Ivory – WrestleMania X-Seven

This is the only blemish on an otherwise perfect wrestling show, but boy does it ever stick out like a sore thumb. While every other match managed to have at least some degree of competitiveness to it, this match was the exact opposite. This match had a great build and was supposed to be treated as Chyna’s big return match.

However, it simply sucked, there’s no other way to describe it. Chyna hit one move and ended the match, winning the WWE Women’s Championship in the process. In doing so, Chyna had effectively killed the entire women’s division in the process. Ivory was built up for months as a credible athlete, and Chyna destroyed her without breaking a sweat.

Just like that the competitiveness of the women’s division all but vanished and the women had no one around whom their division could be built. Chyna left the company under adverse circumstances less than two months later, and it would take Trish Stratus and Lita at least a full year of incredible pain and sacrifice before the women’s division had even a shred of credibility back in it.
