4. Santino Marella vs. Ricardo Rodriguez – Tuxedo Match - No Way Out 2012
There are some kinds of matches that simply should not happen ever, and disrobing matches involving non-wrestlers is one of them. Despite being a trained wrestler, Ricardo Rodriguez was not presented as such. Yet he was booked in a ‘comedy’ match with Santino Marella, who could be funny if he had the right material.

He didn’t have any good material here, as he was trying to pull off Rodriguez’s pants and shirt. This isn’t a match that most people really want to see on regular WWE programming, much less on PPV. It’s an embarrassing type of match that doesn’t really help anyone involved.
In fact, I honestly don’t know of any fans that actually enjoy watching men getting stripped by their opponent in a wrestling ring, especially on a show that’s supposedly PG. Santino tried his best, but even with a Cobra sock puppet on his foot, he couldn’t make this entertaining whatsoever.
