strummer Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 What are some of the most humiliating losses for big name wrestlers? Bret Hart jobbing to Yokozuna at WM. (terribly embarrassing loss for Bret IMO) HHH to Ultimate Warrior at WM 12 (in retrospect, was not suprising at the time) Arn Anderson to Renagade (speaks for itself) Ricky Steamboat losing the IC title to Honky Tonk Man (great worker who had just reached his peak in credibility in the WWF, jobbing his newly won title to a low card gimmick guy)
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I'm almost 100% sure Triple H actually jobbed to Reverend D'Von once on Smackdown. WCW 1999/2000 is a blurr, but I think Hogan jobbed to Billy Kidman. Can anyone confirm, since I'm really blanking on everything from then. Undertaker jobbing to Test in August 2002 on RAW... CLEAN. (Ok, as clean as UT can job).
Myxamatosis Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Test beating Nash. One well-known shitty wrestler losing to a no-name shitty wrestler.
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Test beating Nash. One well-known shitty wrestler losing to a no-name shitty wrestler. The match wasn't even 2:00... now THAT is humiliating.
Enigma Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I remember Lilian accidentally saying "And the winner of this match, Kevi--- TEST!" She couldn't believe it either.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Bam Bam Bigelow's team to the Bushwhacker and MOM Doinks at Survivor Series in 1993.
Epic Reine Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Anybody who jobbed to Chyna (especially Eddie Guerrero at WM2000) Tank Abbot jobbing to David Arquette. Bam Bam jobbing to fucking Lawrence Taylor DDP jobbing to Sarah Calloway And the worst one of all: Lance Storm jobbing to Molly Holly on Raw during the invasion angle. I wanted to kill someone after that.
Guest FromBeyondTheGrave Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Anybody who jobbed to Chyna (especially Eddie Guerrero at WM2000) But she was the 9th Wonder of the World. Lance Storm jobbing to Molly Holly on Raw during the invasion angle. I wanted to kill someone after that. Molly > Storm, clearly.
Guest JMA Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Chris Candido/Skip losing to Barry Horowitz. The Ultimate Warrior losing to Sgt. Slaughter. Bob Backlund losing to Diesel in a matter of seconds. Jake Roberts getting squashed by the Undertaker.
Precious Roy Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Bret Hart jobbing to Yokozuna at WM. (terribly embarrassing loss for Bret IMO) At the time, with Hogan stealing his thunder, I would agree. But after Yoko killed Hogan, got booked as a monster for a year, and returned the job clean at Mania X, it didn't seem as bad. Arn Anderson jobbing the TV title to Renegade is EASILY the worst IMO.
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Arn Anderson even said him losing to the Renegade was the lowest point of his entire career. I can't agree more.
Guest sek69 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I always felt Yoko squashing Hogan was pretty humiliating. Not that Yoko was a jobber or anything, but to see a guy who carried the company for as long as Hogan did get punked out like that was pretty shocking at the time.
Epic Reine Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Arn Anderson even said him losing to the Renegade was the lowest point of his entire career. I can't agree more. And that was one of the reason why the man killed himself, hearing those words come out of a legend's mouth.
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I wouldn't credit one persons opinion leading to someones suicide. He just went into a depression probably, was released by WCW, and couldn't find work in WWF.
Slickster Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 First off, I'm pretty sure Arn said it after Renegade shot himself in 1999. Second of all, I'm sure even Renegade would agree that his push was bound to fail (as a UW ripoff with minimal training/in-ring experience). He was a victim of circumstance and I'm not so sure Arn meant that he disliked the man behind the terrible gimmick.
CanadianChick Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 And the worst one of all: Lance Storm jobbing to Molly Holly on Raw during the invasion angle. I wanted to kill someone after that. I honestly don't remember that at all. Did someone interfere? How about Jericho jobbing to pre-rapper Cena?
Jingus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 The Renegade's story is indeed a sad one, showing how a big corporation can unthinkingly murder somebody. You take some muscled-up young jock right out of school who doesn't know anything about wrestling, you make him watch every Ultimate Warrior match, you make him train for a couple weeks in the Powerplant, you give him the Renegade gimmick, you give him a big-ass push, you let him "beat" everyone who steps in the ring with him, you give him the TV Title, all in a transparently avaricious attempt to capitalize on the Ultimate Warrior's success. And for about 15 seconds, it works, and the kid basks in the warmth that only thousands cheering fans can provide. Well, guess what? He doesn't get over. The gimmick sucks and so does his wrestling. "You're fired, kid. Hit the road." And so a young man has several of his prime years stolen out from under him. The employees and fans of the only career he's ever known all despise him, for things which weren't his fault. He can't get a job wrestling, he has no other job skills, and hey, are those wrinkles on my face?! No wonder the poor schmuck killed himself.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero being PINNED by D-Von Dudley in a non-title singles match on Smackdown! in 2004. Batista being CLEANLY PINNED in a matter of minutes by MAVEN on Raw, November 2004.
Guest DVD Spree Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 1-2-3 Kid over Razor Ramon. That was such a great angle – shocked the piss out of me and all my marky mates. Just ace.
alfdogg Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Ric Flair losing *clean* to Rico HHH losing to the Brooklyn Brawler Rock losing to the Hurricane
Guest PlatinumBoy Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 And the worst one of all: Lance Storm jobbing to Molly Holly on Raw during the invasion angle. I wanted to kill someone after that. I honestly don't remember that at all. Did someone interfere? How about Jericho jobbing to pre-rapper Cena? She did the Molly Go Round off of Big Show's shoulders. I didn't have a problem with it based on how she won--pretty cool visual.
Guest Sturgis Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Jake Roberts getting squashed by the Undertaker. This doesn't count. Jake was going to WCW and wrestling protocall says when a wrestler leaves he must job his final days. So this was the WWF's way of burying him(pun fully intended)
MARTYEWR Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 - Jericho losing to Chyna - HHH losing to Ultimate Warrior - Angle losing ... his tights and wig all the time in mid-2002. Really, Angle's character was hurt by all that comedy stuff.
Slayer Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Arn Anderson even said him losing to the Renegade was the lowest point of his entire career. I can't agree more. In an interview back around '97 or so, I remember AA saying if he had his career to do all over again, he'd do everything the same except for 2 things. 1) He wouldn't have jobbed to the Renegade 2) He wouldn't have done the Robocop bit

Guest Fook Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Rock losing to Bossman Jericho losing to Cena back when Cena was a jobber Skip losing to Horowitz DDP losing to Taker's wife And while not quite losses, the fact that Shane Mcmahon could go 20+ minutes with guys like Kurt Angle and Kane hurt them a lot.
Toshiaki Koala Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Godfather over Triple H. It wasn't clean, but that's about as humiliating as it gets.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Rock jobbing to Mark Henry.

You take some muscled-up young jock right out of school who doesn't know anything about wrestling, you make him watch every Ultimate Warrior match, you make him train for a couple weeks in the Powerplant, you give him the Renegade gimmick. Rick Wilson had been wrestling for at least 2 years before he arrived in WCW.
