5 Worst wrestling matches of 2003

#3 Mr. America vs. Roddy Piper - Judgment Day 2003

In case you’re wondering, Mr. America was Hulk Hogan in a not-so-subtle Captain America costume. Here he was, in 2003, still wrestling, against Roddy Piper. Two wrestlers whose peak years were decades prior were now ‘wrestling’ and taking up precious PPV time.

Also keep in mind that Piper and Mr. America were joined by Zack Gowen and Sean O’Haire, respectively. So to summarize, in a feud that involved two old veterans, a one-legged wrestler, and a solid wrestler with an interesting gimmick, it was the two old-timers that wrestled.

I use that term loosely because they did almost nothing of interest in this match. The double-team by Piper & O’Haire at the start garnered no heat, Hogan’s (sorry, Mr. America’s) comeback was as Hogan-like as it was boring, and Vince McMahon got involved which didn’t make things any better.

Of course, Hogan won (because, Hogan), which effectively killed what little upward momentum O’Haire had at the time.
