If we are talking legit wrestlers then it's gotta be Shockmaster. No doubt.
If we are talking just dumb sh*t then Gobbely Gooker wins.
Both sucked though. Also, they ruined Charlotte's Raw debut a couple months ago. They ruined it so badly Triple H said he wants the fans to forget it ever happened. Which they have as there has been no mention of her on Raw since. I assume they will make up for it when she officially joins the main roster on a full time basis.

Savio Vega - I hated the fact a guy would randomly jump in the ring to make a save. Next thing you know, he's a WWE superstar. If that doesn't send mixed messages to fans, I don't know what does.
Santino - I loved him winning the IC title, but are we to believe of all the people in the arena Vince just happened to pick out a wrestler?
The Gobbledy Gooker - I remember watching this with anticipation. And after weeks, we get a luchador in a chicken suit. For the love of god a chicken suit!
Dolph Ziggler - His debut was a losing effort to Batista. Way to make a statement!
Shockmaster - I mean come on. He fell through a f*****g wall!

For me, Edge's debut was a total bust. He injured a guy in his very first match. I know I'll be in the minority on this one, but it totally soured me on the guy for his entire career.

Nobody Mentioned Kizarny? (aka Sinn Bodhi) what a horrible match he had with MVP

I'm not sure I could really qualify Shockmaster as being a bad debut. In the sense that it's all these years on, and it's one of the most memorable moments in wrestling history. Without that debut, he'd just be another Yetay, or Glacier that no one gives a flying  about. |

I'd like to nominate Terry Taylor debuting as the Red Rooster made me want to cause myself physical harm because it was completely stupid and a waste. |

There have been several really bad debuts in wrestling history. One that really comes to mind is the Big Show. There was a ton, and I mean a ton of buzz about Paul Wight coming to the WWF. I mean, throwing Steve Austin to the cage which led to Austin winning? Really? Soon after, they had him job to Steve Austin on RAW. You don't hire a giant and making him look like **** right out of the freaking gate.

I know I'll get hate for this, but Steiner's WWE debut ing sucked imo. Worst thing about Survivor Series 2002. The whole segment was so dull and not needed. Was such a throwaway. |

I agree with everyone mentioned previously and I'll add Darren Young on the premiere episode of NXT. We've mentioned that in a debut match, the debuting guy or gal should look good and ideally should win, to give the fans a reason to care about him/her and not write them off as a pushover. I gave Michael Tarver a pass on this; he lost to Christian in the opener but a) it was a match against established veteran Christian, and b) it came following a distraction from Heath Slater. But Darren Young, who's already looking like trash because his pro (CM Punk) already doesn't give a hoot about him, loses in less than a minute to David Otunga, another rookie. I suppose that's a lose-lose situation (if Otunga got beat, according to my rationale, he'd be on this list too), but a glorified squash of a rookie isn't really the way to bring him in, at least not with the gimmick Young brought to NXT.
