#2 Worst: The Lumberjack match at WrestleMania Backlash

The lumberjacks at WrestleMania Backlash were Zombies. You read that right. WWE decided to pull off something different in an attempt to get the buzz, and we doubt that it worked very well.

Damian Priest's stipulation on RAW for WrestleMania Backlash was a lumberjack match. While that was underwhelming enough, seeing zombies come out to the ringside was a bit cringeworthy.

It was a forgettable match, with the only memorable moments being The Miz and Damian Priest briefly uniting to take out the Zombies while John Morrison did much of the same.

Ultimately, the objective of this match at WrestleMania Backlash was to help get Priest over. Had this been in front of a live crowd, it would have been disastrous. In what was an overall great show, this proved to be a low point.

It ruined the momentum of the show when it had picked up before, but luckily, a string of good matches at WrestleMania Backlash after that saved the pay-per-view from being a total disaster.
