If there is one concept match that towers among the other concept matches from Extreme Rules that didn’t work is none other than that Handicap Hogpen match.

This match all started for the right to be called ‘Miss WrestleMania’, a title that was won at WrestleMania XXV by Santina Marella (Santino Marella dressing up as his fictitious twin sister). Marella would go on to lose this title to Vickie Guerrero a month later before challenging her in a rematch at Extreme Rules 2009 in a Hog Pen match.

With the match physically being in a makeshift Hog Pen with real pigs on one side, it would be naïve for anyone from the WWE Universe to think that this match would deliver anything except disaster.

The match started with Vickie Guerrero announcing that her nephew, Chavo, would join her to face Marella. In this very short match consisting of people throwing mud at each other, it all ended when Vickie entered the match only to get pinned. Suffice to say this match never took place at Extreme Rules or anywhere else in the WWE again.
