We've seen a couple attempts to establish the very best wrestlers, matches, and cards. Now, I address the other end of the spectrum: who is the absolute bottom of the talent pool?

Obviously, there are some provisos. The worst wrestler ever is clearly some average joe who moonlights as a jobber at indy shows held at the local high school's gym. So here are the constraints:

1. They must have worked a substantial stint in a promotion that allowed them national exposure.

2. They must have been known primarily as a wrestler (ie no Mean Street Posse)

3. They must have been given some sort of push- it's not really fair to call them the worst if the bookers told them not to get any offense in.

With that said, rank your bottom five worst wrestlers ever. After a week or so, I'll tabulate the lists, and announce AWT'S WORST WRESTLER EVER!!

Every wrestler mentioned so far is Chris Benoit compared to 90% of the women that have come through WWE.

And B2BS should be banned for a month for mentioning Bossman.

Anyway, who was the guy who played the Renegade in WCW? That guy was pure shit.

Fuck you.

A few things about my list. First, Divas are cheap, and aren't appearing for obvious reasons. If they did, the Kat would be #1, with Ashley tying with Christy Hemme for #2.

Secondly, male exclusions. No member of any incarnation of Raven's Flock is included, with one notable exception, considering that he had a career long before Johnny Polo started wearing plaid and hailing from the Bowery, and was one of the few to keep his job after the stable was liquidated. Members of the Dungeon of Doom are also excluded, as Big Show was pretty decent for how big he was, Meng had passable matches, and Barbarian was little more than a tan, muscled jobber. No Hillbillies. Just too easy. No tubby bitches. It's easy to harp on Mark, Vis, Shockmaster, ect, but fact of the matter is, they're working within their limitations. You don't seriously expect John Tenta do do a Shooting Star Press, do you?

Thirdly, there are a few tag teams on here, if only for the fact that they were promoted as twins/never really split up. The Bad Breed are the exception to the never really breaking up thing, but considering that they were involved in one of the worst things to ever happen in a wrestling ring, I'd say they can go together.

Fourth, I list more than five. Sue me.

Fifth, I didn't include Khali, or his early 90's soul brother, El Gigante. Why? Because they'd be too easy.

1. Van Hammer (WCW)

2. The Rotten Brothers (ECW)

Marchhaire, Savio Vega? His strap match with Austin is enough to merit him nowhere near this topic.

I didn't watch WCW, but I have seen some of those guys come through TNA and the E before.

So I have to dispute the Harris Brothers, The Wall (aka Malice), Buff Bagwell, and Kronik, who were all mediocre workers but nowhere near the worst ever.

And if Ahmed Johnson is on there, shouldn't Monty Brown be, considering he's a carbon copy?

I thought about it, and I came to the conclusion that he shouldn't be as high on the list as I put him, but seriously, I've never enjoyed a single match he's ever had. I found him to be super bland, but there he was, always near the top of the midcard, almost ready to break on through to the other side.

I forgot about New Jack though...you could replace Vega with New Jack and be set.

Were Sniper and Recon really given that much of a push?

What good matches have the Harris Brothers had? In ECW, they moonlighted as the tag team most likely to lose to make others look more impressive, as well as briefly being members of Raven's Nest, allowing them to lose to Tommy Dreamer in a day and age when Tommy Dreamer lost to everybody, mostly in poorly constructed, boring, witless Hardcore matches. In WWE, they were given so many stupid gimmicks that it was hard to take them seriously, had no matches of merit, and were involved in the Gang Warz. In WCW, they got by mostly because of Russo's fetish for them, already established by the fact that they got a huge gang warfare storyline in the WWE. They got title shots, tag and singles, and were mainly the hitmen for Russo/whatever heel champion needed generic muscle, and they were pretty freakin' generic, using nothing but punches and kicks on their way to becoming high card jobbers. I haven't seen much of their work in TNA, but they really aren't good, and I doubt that after 15 plus years of smoking pole that they got any better.

The Wall has one move. A choke slam. He was Khali before Khali was Khali, but for some reason, he was pushed near the top of the card in WCW, to exhibit his amazing ability to chokeslam people through tables. Booker T, Billy Kidman, and Scott Steiner couldn't save the man, and what I've seen of his TNA work indicated to me that, again, he never really got better, getting by on his relationship with Russo.

I encourage you to watch a Buff Bagwell match. Any Buff Bagwell match, against any oppponent. Other than the fact that he's been part of one of the worst tag teams ever (American Males, American Males, AMERICAN MALES~!), Buff's heel turn was just comically bad, as the fans were expected to hate a man just because he had abs and a top hat with his face airbrushed to the top of it. Really, people hated him because no matter who you put him against, Buff was the most boring stuff around. From his Chippendale's dancing, to his calf implants, to the fact that he was one of the few guys in the nWo with his own theme music, everything about Buff Bagwell is a nuisance. The only worthwhile thing he's ever done was have his neck broken by Rick Steiner.

Kronik, I don't think I really need to go over that much. You've never seen their WCW work, which is probably for the best. Adam Bomb and Kona Crush were about as much the opposite of good on their own as it got. Their WCW run (especially Brian Clarke's, who had a substantial singles run before being paired with Brian Adams) was laughably bad, as they were the "big men most likely to job," even to Glacier. Two of the most pathetic big men of our time.

Monty Brown is at least four hundred times the worker Ahmed Johnson is, and is probably no where near the prick he was, either. Also, I can't name a single cool moment he had in WWE, apart from having a 2x4 broken over his head, and in WCW, he was involved in one of the worst storylines ever, Harlem Heat 2000, which saw him carried to zero good matches, even though Booker T was in his prime.

He did Pearl River Plunge that NOD member through the French announce table at the 97 Royal Rumble. It was an awesome visual that has lived with me till this day.

Later on he had a run-in in the Royal Rumble match carrying an oversized piece of wood (at least five feet long) and proceeded to beat Farrooq with it. It was hilarious.

Nontheless he did suck at all other times.

I stand by what I said with Kronik, Ahmed Johnson, The Wall and the Harris brothers. I've already seen Tuite's work in TNA as Malice, and it was not awful. Same with the Harris Brothers TNA work. I just took a look at some of Kronik's and the Harris' WCW work. It's still not awful.

Buff Bagwell, on the other hand, may be worse than I first thought.
