5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2004

4. The Undertaker vs. JBL – SummerSlam 2004

This match was an enormous disappointment, and this is coming from a self-professed Undertaker fan. SmackDown in 2004 was a barren place, with few believable top stars. This led to JBL, who was previously known as a mid-card brawler, to undergo a radical image change and become a WWE-champion-caliber level.

Sadly, JBL wasn’t always known for putting on the most exciting of matches, and this match was proof. Both ‘Taker and JBL spent most of the match brawling, but the offense and selling from both of them left a lot to be desired. The Toronto audience was apathetic and decided to entertain themselves by doing the Mexican wave and cheering the Spanish table.

The reason this match makes the list is that both men were capable of doing better, but apparently not with each other. It’s a good thing this wasn’t the show-closing match; otherwise, SummerSlam 2004 would’ve made history as the first WWE show that ended with fans doing the Mexican wave and jumping on JBL’s limo.
