5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2013

#4 Mark Henry vs. Ryback – Battleground 2013

This match wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either. It was just…there. It was a forgettable big man match with little novelty outside of a crossbody block from Henry to Ryback. What made this so bad was that it was an open challenge match that went around four minutes with little story.

This is something that should’ve been left for an episode of RAW, yet was instead placed on a Big Four PPV without much rhyme or reason. It goes to show just how far Ryback had fallen in the span of one year. In 2012, Ryback was almost completely undefeated and was working his way to the top of the company.

By the end of 2013, he had lost his undefeated streak, turned heel, had failed to capture the WWE Championship after doing so, and ended up losing to Mark Henry. By this point, it became clear that Ryback would never reach the high echelons of the company ever again, and the rest of his matches didn’t really inspire that much either.
