I vote for a tie for worst match between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Undertaker a tie between this match at “Backlash” 2002 and the ill-fated “Over the Edge” 1999 in which both not only had controversial finishes and also took place in the same building, Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. Both matches also had guest referees, with Shane McMahon at “Over the Edge” 1999, who fast counted Austin and awarding the Smoking Skull Belt to The Undertaker, which was a creepy ending to a show where Owen Hart had died just an hour earlier at Truman Medical Center and the horrible finish with Ric Flair at “Backlash” 2002. I own both of the DVDs of “Backlash” 2002 and “Judgment Day” 2002 and I watched them a lot way back then. “Judgment Day” is decent enough, with the hair match between Kurt Angle and Edge being the highlight for me and the lowlight was the horrible main event between WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker, which I’m predicting you’ll give a negative 5 star rating (Your quote “F this match and everyone in it” always has me cracking up!) and the scene on one of the “Raw” episodes leading up to JD will have you rolling, with The Undertaker “dragging” Hulk Hogan behind a super slow motorcycle with a thick leather jacket on and he rolls into a pile of boxes or something comparable. This of course was the first WWE PPV. I was hoping for “Hogan Knows Best” season 3 this year, because I’ve watched both of your hilarious reviews of Seasons 1 and 2, but maybe next year? I am always laughing so hard I’m in tears during Season 2 during the “Kayfabe Kitchen” where you cook good ol’ Hulk Burgers and veggies and the Hulk grill catches on fire after the alert on your phone. Thank you so much for your hard work on W3 Brian as it is my #1 YouTube channel and my #1 go-to for PPV reviews and the Top 8 lists!
