5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2002

1. Bradshaw & Trish Stratus vs Christopher Nowinski & Jackie Gayda

Yes…this is the contest known as ‘THAT Jackie Gayda Match’.

This match has become infamous for just how bad the in-ring action was. Taking place on an episode of RAW, it was one of the first matches for then-rookie Jackie Gayda. Because of her lack of experience, Gayda (the one in the red top in this video) botched virtually every single move.

Even though the match itself is about three minutes long, things got painfully hard to watch when Gayda’s in the ring. She mistimed almost all her moves and made some moments look so awkward the fans started to boo loudly. It got worse at the end, as Gayda sold Trish’s move two seconds too late, making it look like she just crumpled to the ground for no apparent reason.

This match shows why wrestlers need lots of training before debuting on camera. If they don’t understand basic wrestling concepts – like selling and timing­ – they’ll only expose their own inexperience for the world to see.
