5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2005

#4. Orlando Jordan vs. Heidenreich – WWE Judgment Day 2005

Here are two men that had non-existent chemistry together

SmackDown’s roster in 2005 was rather threadbare. They didn’t have that many top stars, and some of the wrestlers pushed into prominent roles didn’t really excite the fans. Orlando Jordan and Heidenreich were two such wrestlers, who put on a truly disappointing performance at Judgment Day 2005.

This match took place during Heidenreich’s attempted face turn, whereby a child from the audience would come down to the ringside area and encourage him. Unfortunately, those kids got a ringside experience of Heidenreich’s far-below-average wrestling skills. Much of his in-ring work was shoddy and awkward, and he didn’t do a very good job of selling Jordan’s offence.

Of course, it takes two to tango and Jordan didn’t have much of an exciting gimmick either. As a result, the fans watching didn’t have any real reason to care about this match. Add to these problems a dreadfully short amount of time allotted to their match and you have a recipe for in-ring disaster. Neither man here was particularly polished in the ring, but when they fought each other their flaws really got exposed.
