5 Worst wrestling matches of 2008

#2 Big Show vs. Great Khali – Backlash

Here we have a match between two giants with a combined weight of over 900 pounds. Someone backstage thought this was a good idea, and must’ve also thought this match was taking place in 1982.

The problem here is that while Big Show can be athletic despite his size, Khali could not. As a result, you had an underwhelming ‘giants’ match that featured very little exciting action. Khali was easily the less-impressive of the two of them, only doing moves that requires the least amount of mobility possible. He did his usual big overhand chops, his slow kicks, and a nerve hold that the commentators tried to sell as a big deal but the wrestlers didn’t.

Big Show ended up winning with a chokeslam, which, I’ll admit, was cool because of how big his opponent was. Unfortunately, this giant match didn’t really lead to anything for either man, which in turn made this a giant waste of time (pun definitely intended).
