Worst Match Of The Year: Rebel vs. Shelly Martinez
Runners-Up: The Golden Truth vs. Breezango
If you were ever looking for a microcosm of the promotion that is TNA, this match would be it. Someone decided that it was a good idea to put two women with subpar wrestling skills together in a match, and the result was so bad that you couldn’t even laugh at it.

From Shelly screaming ‘my vag hurts’ so loudly the cameras caught it, to the spectacular failure of an ending, it was no surprise that the fans watching live buried their heads in their hands shortly after the match started.
Since most people tend to forget bad matches, the only truly dismal failure of a match I could find for this category was that awful ‘sunburn’ match between Breezango and the Golden Truth at the MITB kickoff. As much as the wrestlers tried to convince us this was funny, no one liked it, and the match got very little fanfare overall.
The other match that deserves honorary mention is Triple H vs. Roman Reigns in the WrestleMania main event. It was bad enough that the crowd was exhausted, having spent more than five hours watching wrestling before this match started.
It was worse that, no matter how evil the Authority were, or how much Reigns tried to be a babyface (he even speared Stephanie, but is it ok to cheer such a thing?), the crowd rejected Reigns en masse.
But what made it terrible was just how boring this match was. It was a slow and plodding affair, akin to the equally dreadful HHH-Orton match at WrestleMania 25. The only difference is that match got cheers when it ended, most likely because it ended.
