5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2015

3. Ryback vs. Big Show – Elimination Chamber 2015

Why WWE kept putting these two together is a mystery

WWE has a strange obsession when it comes to booking two stars and not wanting either one to lose. If two wrestlers are in such a position, WWE’s go-to plan is a DQ finish, which allows for a ‘proper’ conclusion at a later date. That’s what happened in this match between Ryback (a superstar once earmarked for a major spot in the company), and Big Show (someone that had been floundering in WWE for years).

In this case, Ryback and Big Show started having a decent match, but that came to an end after the Miz – who was ringside – interfered to cause the disqualification. This didn’t make sense, as Miz would’ve been smarter to let these two big men try and destroy each other and then he could pick up the pieces afterwards and win the title.

But WWE doesn’t like to use common sense in many of their booking decisions, and so this otherwise harmless match was ruined by a nonsense finish that made the title they were fighting over seem like an afterthought.
