You can find a ton of this in history. Have you ever heard of a company called WCW?

Rick Rude vs Ric Flair at Fall Brawl '93. Flair and Rude did not have any chemistry and couldn't work a good match together, but this one was especially disappointing. It's not terrible compared to some of the fake-looking flip routines and anime poses that we get today, but it was a major disappointment for these two.

I have a theory that this match is when the higher ups saw Nakamura phoning in his matches, and that’s why he never rose to the top again.

It wasn't that bad. In fact, pretty good for a WWE match. Problem is they had a much better match in Japan and overhyped this one in the build cause of it.

I literally bought TNA Genesis 2006 just to watch Angle vs Joe. Maybe my expectations were way too high back then but I remember expecting them to set the ring on fire and the match was just barely ok
I was so fucking disappointed.
Not sure if it counts because it wasn’t a shit match but goddamn it just wasn’t anywhere near great when it should’ve.

Based on pure entertainment value, expectations going in, and where it was wrestled.
I will never forgive this match.

I should've shut off that shitty Mania at this moment. I've probably seen worse matches, but if it's some shit heap mudshow, I have different expectations.

I don’t know if you remember but Cage/Styles was only ok too but at the same time I didn’t think they’d put on something that could be called a greatest match of all time.

Joe/Angle was something I thought would be amazing and in that echelon of GOAT matches but again, was just ok

I can't see how Naito is going to ride out staying in long enough for Tsuji and the other young boys to be ready sometimes
