1. Los Villanos vs. Los Psycho Circus – AAA
This was the first match in sixteen years to receive an official minus-five-star rating from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was voted the Worst Match of the Year by a landslide, and has a lower rating than almost any other match we’ve discussed to date.

If there were one word to describe this match, it would be ‘disjointed’. After the first thirty seconds, the match seemed to lose all sense of structure, and six wrestlers just attacked each other without rhyme or reason.
Los Psycho Circus actually did significantly better than Los Villanos in terms of both hitting moves and selling, as the latter team absolutely sucked at both of those things. Of course, that shouldn’t be a surprise since the team of Los Villanos had a combined age over 150.
Their offense consisted mostly of really soft strikes and bad take-downs, and every time one of their opponents hit a move, it looked like they were intentionally being soft as to not hurt any of the Villanos.
Any sense of logic quickly disappeared from the match as wrestlers hit moves without thinking. In one moment, one of the Psychos actually interrupted his own pin to taunt the crowd and hit another (weak) move, only to be cut off by someone else and then defeated by the opposing team.
It was a horrible, ugly mess of a match, but at least the crowd was loud for it.
