 What's good George the Bull rocks back again with another video. So we're going to check out 10 worst wrestling pay-per-view matches of 2021. There's been some good pay-per-view matches this year. And then there's been some mediocre. And then there's been some downright awful matches that have taken place this year. Man, it's been a crazy year for wrestling. We had to deal with the pandemic at the beginning of the year. Then we started to get fans back. We got some epic returns like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan going to AEW. Like we had some some pretty cool moments, you know what I'm saying? And it's just one of those type of things where it's like wrestling as a whole. This year has had his highs. It's definitely had his lows. So we're going to check this out. See what parts one known has on their list of worst matches of 2021. Appreciate all love and support. Let's get right into this video, man. Gosh, there were some good wrestling matches in 2021 weren't there? Just a quick note that my list of favorite matches that's on PFK right now. You should go and check it out. Didn't include Hangman versus Danielson's ridiculous 60 minute Broadway because I wrote it before that happened. Just know that it would have made it because holy cowboy S word. He landed on his feet. Look at him like cowboys do. Anyway, I'm sad to inform you that not every wrestling match was as good as my top 10. In fact, quite the opposite. Some were either a waste of time, laughably produced or the old classic. A slap in the face with a giant clown glove stuffed with rotten eggs and piss to close out. What's honestly been a pretty rubbish year. We're running down the most rubbish wrestling matches that people had to pay their hard earned money to watch. I'm Adam Haling from Parts Fun, known here in my 10 worst pay-per-view matches of 2021. And hey, subscribe, make that your New Year's resolution. Otherwise, the matches in 2022 will be just as bad. The only way you can stop that from happening is by subscribing. Guaranteed, not a guarantee. Number 10, Braun Strowman versus Elias, Far Slain. Hey, do you guys remember the Braun Strowman is a dumb, dumb storyline between the monster among men Shane McMahon? That was a WrestleMania feud, you guys, culminating with an admittedly very impressive spot that seems to have finally slain a sweaty dragon at Shane McMahon's omnipresence on WWE programming. Anyway, the storyline basically consists of Shane coming out and saying, hudduh at a confused and angry brawn, then dodging a fight, and it kept happening and happening and happening. Part of the filler used to stretch this hot glop of nothing out for literal months of all of our lives was Braun Strowman versus Elias. Shane's music tinged heavy, he was also shackled by the ankle to Jackson the f***ing riker at the time. Elias, where have you gone? No one benefited from this four minutes of dreck, not Strowman mired in an awful storyline. Not Elias, he got jobbed all the way out and not Shane because he's sentient spam. Number nine, Dewdrop versus- Yeah, that match, that was just like, you could have found any other reason for them for Shane and Braun at the time, the feud, and it was just like, oh, you're a big dumb dumb, right? All right, bro. Zelina Vega, Crown Jewel. Ah, WWE's legacy of bad things and the name of Saudi Minor continued apace with Crown Jewel, which was annoyingly, from a show quality perspective, pretty darn fine. Heartbreaking that between the main, the opener, and the very good indeed women's triple threat. The show was a giant step up from past indignities. However, there was at least one stinker on the card, Curse of Dewdrop versus Zelina Vega to crown the first ever Queen's Crown, the Crown Queen of Crown Jewels in the Queen's Crap. Just call it Queen of the Ring, Jesus wet. Honestly, this match is partially on the list, not just because it was bad and it was with Dewdrop randomly wrestling heel for no reason and with no build up, but it's also here to talk about how bewilderingly bad the entire tournament was with the matches given an insulting lack of ring time, both compared to the King of the Ring matches and matches in general. Bell to Bell, totally every single matches run time in the entire tournament, added up came to 19 minutes and 20. That's awful. 19 minutes out of a whole tournament. You telling me that's all they were. It's 19 minutes. That's truly awful. That was they booked the women's side of it so poorly. 19 minutes. That's all y'all wanted to give them. Total. And that's why we got the end product as it was. It was awful. 24 seconds, an average of 2 minutes and 46 seconds per match. Bleak that in the year of our Lord 2021. Number eight, the pizza thing. Survivor series f***ing LWW has really stepped up their huckster game this year, haven't they? Presenting to the god of crowbarred capitalist content like a cat in deep heat. Don't get me wrong, WWE hasn't been cool in decades, there's something especially dispiriting about the intro package to Survivor series, the second oldest pay-per-view on WWE's books, no less, being a trailer for Red Notice. Vince grumbling to himself about eggs, Xavier Woods hawking water from Nestle, one of the world's most notoriously shady companies, the army of the dead stuff which we'll f***ing get to. Oh, we cannot forget about the army of the dead. Oh my god. Then there's this, a pointless, heatless mess of prat falling in pizzas, a battle royal ostensibly to celebrate 25 years of the rock, actuality, just a platform for wrestlers to point at some pizza, cross their eyes, smile, zany antics, I'm just so tired all of the time, I literally can't remember who won the match, and I refuse to look it up in case the street profits reach through my monitor and slowly push an entire pepperoni through my eyeball. Number seven, the women's tag team turmoil match WrestleMania 37. Let me just prime my hypocrisy, cannons. Remember a few entries ago when I ragged on the Queen's crown tournament for being too short? Well, WWE sure as hell over corrected at WrestleMania, didn't they? Bringing as a women's tag team turmoil match that went 50 minutes, which felt like 19 years. I forgot about that match. The entire thing is that Mandy Rose slipped and fell on her bum walking down to the ring, something that affected her so deeply, it changed her hair color. And one of the NXT women's championship was so boring, it almost broke WrestleMania. Even fans being in attendance for the first time in over a year couldn't give it any juice. A drab parade of quick matches, almost no spots to speak of. And over the course of the two night WrestleMania, Tamina wrestled a total of half an hour, more than all of the Queen's crown competitors combined. Please WWE, is there not a middle ground between a five minute tournament final and half an hour of Tamina? Please WWE, is there not? Number six, Becky Lynch versus Bianca Belair, Summer Slam Bloody Hell, though. WWE. This, yeah, this has to go on that list, man. They, I'm stuck. They did Bianca Belair so dirty. I'm sorry. There's a better way to gotten the belt from Becky Lynch and not ruining someone's championship run is the way to do it. That's just my personal opinion. Incomprehensible booking of their women's division has been a real story of this year and one of the biggest f***ing use to their fans in recent memory. This happened at Summer Slam. Now to be clear, the concept of having beloved anti-hero Becky Lynch returning, doubling down on the obnoxiousness that her character already had before she left to make a little roll inch and turning heel right in the middle of a welcome home parade on one of the biggest shows of the year. That's a fun and interesting idea. And indeed, Big Time Bex has been great since they clarified it was a heel turn but goddamn, did they not make that clear at Summer Slam itself? Becky Lynch returned, cheap-shooted Bianca Belair and ended her unstoppable run post-Wrestlemania in 26 seconds. WWE have handled the EST with care since then but this felt like a huge slap in the face, making Bianca seem like a rookie for the sake of a brief pop and there's legitimately no reason why this couldn't have been a full match with an actual narrative that clearly demonstrated Becky cheating to win a potentially great story handled in the worst possible way. Number five, the barbed wire exploding ring deathmatch revolution. Sorry guys, but I mean, yeah, sorry. Yeah, I didn't watch the match but I've seen clips of that barbed wire explosion. It did not go the way they wanted it to go. I can tell you that now. WWE are currently the hottest five they've ever been thanks to a combination of huge defections, barnstorming matches and consistent long-term booking slowly but surely paying off. But that is not to say that everything's been smooth sailing this year with AEW still trailing WWE in terms of basic production. For the most part, it almost works in AEW's favour. It's less micromanaged, there's fewer camera cuts. The lack of a glossy sheen makes it feel a bit more real, a bit more intense. But sometimes it blows up in the company's face, especially when what they planned doesn't blow up in the company's face. At Revolution, Kenny Omega Fort marks in a barbed wire exploding ring deathmatch with a stip being that if the time ricks by, the ring would explode. The match itself was pretty good, lots of stupid barbed wire ring ropes, explodey spots. Then after the match, Kenny and friends left Moxley for dead in the ring. Eddie Kingston turned face to save his best friend, the highest of drama. The countdown reached zero and then, oh no, oh absolutely no though. Genuinely, it's one of the worst bits of wrestling production, maybe ever. And it's not about casting blame, it's just a simple fact. This is f***ing embarrassing. It's time to date that the ending of an A.W. paper has been booed down by its fans, ruining what could have been a moment of the year. Sometimes a match is only as good as its finish, and this is one of the worst finishes of the year. Yeah, for sure. It was just sparklers and smoke. Not the worst though. Number four, Roman Reigns vs. Demon Finn Balor Extreme Rules. F*** me, purple. Talk about a great match that no one will ever remember because they're too busy pissing themselves, and the worst finish is since that Hell in a Cell match. A finish so monumentally embarrassing and character-destroying that it might... I'm gonna be honest with you. The God stepped into that match. God helped. In the way of a cameraman, unscrewing one of the turnbuckles. Just have put an end to Demon Finn for good old yellow star. Much like the exploding ring match, the actual meat and potatoes of Reigns vs. Balor was really good because both men are really good. Lots of big spots, crazy athleticism, and then there's this. Suddenly the lights go red, Finn starts flopping on the ground like a salmon with a cattle product. I think hulking up, but if the thing hulking up is a Newcastle man on the floor of a train after passing out from eight pints of nuke-y brown, the Duracell Demon pops up, sets Roman up for a coup de gras when the top rope kefe breaks and the Demon lands on his stupid face, eats a spear, main roster undefeated streak over. How'd you get something so wrong? So hard. Number three, Alexa Bliss vs. Shayna Baszler. She is putting some good ones on this list. Matches that I have genuinely forgotten about because they're so goddamn bad. Alexa Bliss, Shayna Baszler, awful. Just awful. Oh my. This match legitimately upsets me because of what they did to Alexa Bliss. She pretty much took Staphine's gimmick and now we're supposed to believe a super powered demon chick is supposed to be beating a former MMA competitor? What are we doing? A hell in a cell. Spoiler. The rest of this list is gonna be WWE trying and failing to do spooky bullshit. You've been warned. Alexa Bliss has had a hell of a 2021 from her beloved pig Larry Steve passing away to having all of the internet's worst wrestling fans coming after her for air quotes, stealing the fiend's gimmick. If your reaction to WWE dropping the ball on the fiend was to go after a performer just doing the job asked of her, have a long think as to whether or not wrestling might be too academic for you. Anyway, most of what WWE had Alexa doing this year was dreadful. The result of an eight year old being tasked with rewriting Beetlejuice in 20 minutes. The match with Randy at Fastlane, the match with Eva at SummerSlam, the Winking Doll, all of it, a hodgepodge of hackneyed horror tropes, now actual substance story or game plan. The second worst of them all was this. Alexa versus one of the greatest and most legit NXT champions in history, Shayna Baszler. All of this sucked from Shayna being scared of the fact that Alexa Bliss is famously double-jointed to Reginald's oh no scary horse player ringside to a laughably sh** possession of Nia Jax. None of which, of course, played into the finish of the match in any way, shape or form. Don't worry though, it does get worse. Number two, the fiend versus Randy Orton, WrestleMania 37. One year on from the Firefly Funhouse. This is what we get. This is what we deserve. After months of the fiend stalking Randy, Randy second the fiend on fire, Alexa prophesying his return like the Hot Topic Silver Surfer, the fiend returning like a burnt pizza roll. This is the payoff. The fiend appears out of a jack-in-the-box which you know what could have been great. But then gets distracted by Alexa looking like a mannequin of Hella from Thor Ragnar or melting in the Florida heat. Randy hits the RKO. That's a lot. Five minutes. One promo aside, that was a wrap on Bray Wyatt in WWE. One year removed from the Funhouse from the best things WWE ever produced. What a clear statement. They had no f**king idea what they had in their hands. What a waste of time, money, fan investment, Bray's creativity. I mean when John Cena's dad cuts a promo and how s**t your booking of a match is, that is saying something. I don't know, man. I'm sure someone out there liked it. Maybe Randy's kids. Just tired of it. That s**t was awful. That s**t was just awful. Bray deserves so much better. Oh my God. That wastes of time. Waste of everybody's time, man. It didn't lead to absolutely nothing. All that build-up, all of that for him to just lose to a f**king RKO because he got f**king, he got mesmerized by the person that he recruited. Hoping for the best. And number one, those f**king zombies' WrestleMania backlash. Army of the Dead is a terrible film. Army of the Dead sponsored WrestleMania backlash. That sponsorship took the form of zombies appearing on the Thunderdome screens. Okay, that's a bit clever. Zombies appearing backstage in the locker rooms. Okay, that's some cornball s**t, but WWE has done worse. And then WWE did worse. The Miz fought Damien Priest in the Lumberjack match and all of those Lumberjacks were zombies and all the wrestlers had to pretend to be afraid of them. It's worse than Robocop. It's worse than Chucky. It's the worst example of WWE being a baby show for f**king babies. John Morrison did the parkour stuff with zombies. The Miz got killed and eaten by zombies. Good zombies, bro. In 2021, someone came up with that and thought that s**t was cool. Huh. Okay. After suffering a major real-life injury and wrestling on like a f**king hero, Damien Priest continued his run as WWE's pop culture liaison after the Bad Bunny stuff. What's worse is that literally every other match on the backlash card was great. Rain Cesaro, WikiChile Asuka, Lashley Strowman McIntyre, all shown up by the presence of this clown car pootling down the ramp, exploding and dominating the conversation. The E in WWE stands for entertainment. WWE have produced some absolute classics this year and almost every single pay-per-view they've put out, there has been a potential match of the year candidate and then there's also been one of these. Happy new year, everyone. Can't wait to do this again next year. And that's the thing, man. It's so crazy. I have Cesaro versus Roman Reigns as one of my favorite matches of the year. I put that in my top five. And in the same pay-per-view, you have to add bullshit. That's what I'm saying. It's like they have to have a bullshit match that makes no sense after putting on at least one match of the year contender. It's just dumb. It's just absolutely dumb. I don't know who'll be booking some of these matches. I don't know why some of these matches happen, but it's like they have to have something cringe in or stupid on one of their shows. I will never understand it. Never, never understand it. But comment down below. Let me know. What was the worst match for you guys this year in AEW and WWE? Hell, it doesn't matter any other promotion. What was the worst match for you this year of 2021? I'm going to have to give it to the zombies one. Yeah, the zombie one. I could just excuse the Alexa Bliss one as much as I can tolerate. But the zombie one, that takes it to a whole new level of absolute cringe. I'm sorry. But comment down below. Let me know. What's your worst match of this year? It doesn't matter what company it's in. But I appreciate all the love and support. Roll 2, Sandy Kay. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all around next one. Peace.
