5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2002

2. Hulk Hogan vs The Undertaker – Judgment Day 2002

These men are bona fide WWE legends, but they shouldn't have been working against one another

Hulk Hogan should not have been wrestling in 2002. He should not have been main-eventing WWE PPVs either…and he shouldn’t have been WWE Champion. Alas, all three of those things happened at Judgment Day 2002, and Hogan wrestled the Undertaker in a truly dreadful match.

This was a time when the Undertaker was still doing a lot of striking and slow power moves and wasn’t the best of workers. He was placed in a match against Hulk Hogan, who was considered to be past his prime at least four years prior when it came to wrestling. As you can imagine, these two wrestlers performed atrociously with one another. The action and pacing were slow, the spots weren’t exciting, and the Undertaker hit the single worst Chokeslam in wrestling history.

This was not the kind of wrestling match anyone wanted to see. Purists wanted to see Angle being a wrestling machine, while the WWE die-hards wanted some kind of crazy car crash à la Steve Austin hitting everyone with Stunners. Sadly, neither group got what they wanted in this match, which left everyone completely disappointed.
