Worst Match of The Year
Our Winner: Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose (Wrestlemania 32).
This match makes the list based on the expectations that I (and many fans) had going into it. Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.
It was selected by many as the potential match of the night. Lesnar would physically destroy Ambrose, but being the lunatic he is, he would keep coming back for more punishment.
This didn’t happen and it was basically a one-sided affair, with Lesnar picking up the win.
Ambrose later said on the live Steve Austin Show podcast that Lesnar was lazy and didn’t want to do anything with him. This explains it and thus, it is the worst match of the year for me.
There are probably many matches that were worse to watch in 2016 but from an expectations stand-point, this one stands out the most. I remember feeling genuinely disappointed after the match. So much potential for a great story that was just tossed aside.

What happened to Ambrose at WrestleMania was a travesty. He busted his butt to promote that match and got stuck with an opponent that didn’t want to work with him and didn’t want to do anything but the bare minimum. If Ambrose had been working with anyone else but Lesnar, that match would’ve more than lived up to the hype.
That’s because Lesnar sucks!!! I am glad Goldberg beat his a$$ and now they can both disappear and go away and let the wrestlers who want to work go!! Concussing Randy Orton and refusing to work with Dean Ambrose…SMH Lesnar!
Lesnar is the worst kind of part timer, he gets paid no matter what so there’s no incentive for him to put forth any effort or do what the company wants if he doesn’t feel like it. It’s galling to think that Ambrose worked so hard and got nothing out of it. If it had been anyone else, Ambrose would’ve looked like the star he is, instead he was made to look like a loser because his opponent didn’t want to work with him.
