#3 The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez – WrestleMania IX

This is the Undertaker’s worst-ever WrestleMania match. ‘Taker was stuck trying to make the best of a terrible situation, but it was hopeless from the get-go. Gonzalez was abysmal as a wrestler as he could barely do anything athletic in the ring beyond flailing his arms around whenever he got hit.

Worse, he wore that awful airbrushed bodysuit with fake musculature on it, because his natural body definition made him look like a giant pencil. To call Gonzalez a cartoon character would be an insult to cartoons. Worse, this is the only Undertaker match at WrestleMania to end via disqualification, as Gonzalez had to use a ‘chloroform rag’ to ‘knock the Undertaker unconscious’.

This didn’t scare the audience like it was supposed to; everything about this seemed unimaginative and boring. The Undertaker was up moments later anyway, which made the entire into a colossal disappointment (pun definitely intended).

But if you want to watch this match for historical reasons, you might need something only slightly less potent than chloroform to get through it.
