Guest The Great Ahmar Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 There has been some really bad PPV's in the past. Wheter it be WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW or TNA they have been some really crappy PPV thats makes you wish you had saved your buying it. (Or for the Uk not staying up all night) So I want to know what you would say is the Worst PPV you have ever seen. For me I know a real load of crap I have watched. Summerslam 93 and Judgement Day 01 are ones that stick out to me. Whats yours? P.S by PPV I mean Wrestling not PPV Porn or something else!:xyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ro_y Disco Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 For me I know a real load of crap I have watched. Summerslam 93 and Judgement Day 01 are ones that stick out to me. Whats yours? What?!??? Judgement Day 2001 was a wicked PPV. A great opener, good Hardcore match, Benoit/Angle 2/3 Falls, a fairly good Chain Match and an enjoyable Main Event!! Worst PPV is probably Royal Rumble 2004 (which I recently bought on DVD, not having much previous knowledge of it). A dull undercard, which sounded quite good on the back (OK, so I'm a mark for table matches, so sue me!), a crap Rumble, a poor WWE title match (even though I knew it would be bad before hand, I was willing to give a chance) and the most dissapointing match I have ever seen: HHH/HBK Last Man Standing- seriously, how hard is it to screw up a Last man Standing Match?? They made two guys bleeding profusely asctually boring! Also worthy of a mention is Summer Slam 2002, save for the Unsanctioned match and Wrestlemania XX- the most hyped show the WWE has probbaly ever done and yet the show was mostly terrible.

GENE Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 TNA Destenation X 2005,yes i bought this and it was crap not only did we have DDP vs Jeff Jarrett a rematch roma feud which helped kill WCW we also had Monty Brown versus Trytan (wheres that sick smiley),the X-division elimination match which i was excited about seeing totally bombed and the rest of the card was just as bad. Bad Blood 2003,god this is an awful event not even the fact Scott Steiner is on the card can make it good for me and i'm a huge mark for the guy,in Steiners match he slips of the apron and does the famous sledge to the back.Also we had brawn new Christian with short hair an all in a boring match versus Booker T,a crap Tag Team Title match with La Resisitance versus Kane and RVD,Chris Nowinski was wrestling on the card.Not even the Hell In A Cell match of HHH vs kevin Nash could save the PPV from this dour undecard.

Guest Matt Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It was a Royal Rumble possibly 2003 Steiner v HHH mainevent possibly the worst match i have ever ever seen, cant recall the rest of the card but that match was enough to stink up the whole ppv.

Guest A.C. Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 How did I forget this? Wrestlemania 2000 was a load of rubbish! ONE singles match on the entire card and that's Terri v Kat in a Catfight. Some multi-man matches, some tags, utter boredom for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Root Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 In Your House 19: D-Generation X stood out as being memorably bad. One month on from the Montreal Screwjob and the WWF needed to deliver something truly great to take the bad taste out of people's mouths. They failed, miserably. It opened with TAKA Michinoku Vs Brian Christopher. It was an okay match, nothing special but a decent opener. After that were 5 stinkers on the trot. Miguel, Jose & Jesus (Los Boricuas) Vs Chains, Skull & 8 Ball (DoA), Butterbean Vs Marc Mero (boxing match), New Age Outlaws Vs Legion Of Doom, Hunter Hearst Helmsley Vs Sgt slaughter (Bootcamp match) and Jeff Jarrett Vs Undertaker. This was when WWF were trying to push Jarrett as a legit star & main eventer. That failed miserably. Jarrett looked painfully out of place. the Tripls/slaughter match was dire. So slow, and one of the most boring matches ever. Thankfully, Sky had some technical difficulties and we missed a large chunk of the match. What we did see still felt like it went on forever though. The top two matches were okay, but still nothing to write home about - Steve Austin Vs Rocky Maivia and Shawn Michaels Vs Ken Shamrock. I still feel Ken could've been a main event player in WWF, if only he'd been given a great manager to make up for his lack of mic skills. I blame this ppv with kicking off a dodgy run for the WWF. During 1998 they seemd to be unable to present a ppv that didn't feature at least one match that was utterly and completely terrible. Whether it was Jeff Jarrett Vs Bradshaw for the NWA title (IYH20), New Midnight Express Vs Rock & Roll Express (IYH21), LOD Vs Skull & 8 Ball (IYH22), Bradshaw & Terry Funk Vs Ron Simmons & Scorpio / LOD 2000 Vs Skull & 8 Ball again! (IYH23)... Each show had at last one DUD. Hell, some had multiple. Thank god the main events were (generally) excellent. I don't watch a lot of WWE anymore as I find it just the pits, by and large. I did make a point of staying up for ECW One Night stand 2006. After the superb offering last year, I was hoping for more excellent action but feared the worst. Indeed I was painfully disappointed in the show. Poor matches, many involving non ECW stars. In hindsight, it's now clear that the first ONS was a proper funeral for the true ECW, while this was a rebirth for the watered down sanitised, WWE produced version of ECW. The only match that truly stod out was Yoshihiro Tajiri & Super Crazy Vs The FBI. The others matches were either an insulting joke (Lawler V Tazz) or just plain not very good (RVD/Cena). I regretted staying up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laffy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I personally think Backlash 2006 was the worst PPV. Vince and Shane vs HBk and God with the Spirit Squad. I mean was the match put together just so JR i think or could have been King could say that the father son and holy spirit won the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Backlash 06 wasn't bad if I remember - if only for the HBK match and the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laffy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The only match i liked in Backlash 2006 was the main event and although i enjoyed it. The match could not make up for the rest of the PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made two guys bleeding profusely asctually boring! WHAT?!?! HBK vs HHH Last Man Standing was done great, it wasn't jsut a stunt brawl it had wrestling and psycology, which then built up to the great finish, the undercard wasn't bad, the tables match was average granted, but Eddie/Chavo and Noble/Rey were both good, Brock/Holly was passable, the rumble was great, it has BENOIT!!!! in it the whole was through, and had returns, twists and everything plus the PPV opening video was the best one ever! it was a really good PPV!

Guest Wolverine Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The worst PPV that I've ever seen was the Great American Bash last year. It had one of the worst main-events in recent history, there were inexplicible booking decisions (Orlando Jordan beat Chris F'n Benoit!), there weren't any good matches on the entire card ... it just plain sucked.

Guest Sav Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Rey vs Eddie was good stuff but apart from that, the 2005 GAB was awful. Good shout Root on In Your House Degeneration X, truly horrible event and probably the worst I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarkMatchJobber Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 My least favourite is Unforgiven 2002 featuring the burial of RVD by Triple H and the crap ending to the wwe title match thanks to Undertaker's refusal to lose clean to the next big thing Brock Lesnar. You also had Ric Flair looking completely pathetic after losing to Y2J and his predictable heel turn in the previously mentioned RVD match. Last PPV that I truly enjoyed from start to finish was Lockdown 2006,thus the inspiration for my username ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as last years, granted, but as 2005's was one of the best shows WWE has ever done it was always going to be hard to top. The only real dissapointment was the opener, but given Tazz can no longer wrestle due to his neck, you can't really blame him too much. Tanaka/Balls was poor as well, but the chairshot at the end was vicious. The rest of the show was good-great. RVD/Cena was hugely entertaining and Rey/Sabu was shaping up to be a MOTY, it was only ruined by the screwy ending. And watered down?!? Funk Dreamer Foley and Edge put on a sick match. it was by no means wartered down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chriscare Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Survivor Series 1992, had one goodish match which was HBK vs Bret, which was far too short. Bad Blood 2003 i think it was, the one with Trips vs Nash, mos tof the RAW only PPV's round then we're terrible. Any of the recent Great American Bash's were all terrible Wrestlemania 15, and well pretty much any PPV in 1999 to be honest, Raw may have been entertaining but the PPV's were so dire. Most Royal Rumbles of the 90's with the odd exception. The ammount of joobers they had back then was rediculous, it was like an hour of poor jobbers having boring rumble like moves. The one where Vince one it was really poor. Last PPV that I truly enjoyed from start to finish was Lockdown 2006,thus the inspiration for my username I hated both the Lockdowns. An entire PPV of the same gimmick match is a terrible idea, oh great, its total overkill Edited July 14, 2006 by Chriscare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The one where Vince one it was really poor. I agree about the jobbers point, but that Rumble was made up for by the I Quit match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarkMatchJobber Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) I hated both the Lockdowns. An entire PPV of the same gimmick match is a terrible idea, oh great, its total overkill Lethal lockdown was a great match and had the ending most fans hoped for with Sting forcing Chris Harris to submit to the scorpion deathlock and the spot on top of the cage with AJ Styles was just sick ! The X division open was awesome and showed how talented the participants are,it is not fantasy to think that any of them could be holding the X title shortly. Fallen Angel vs Senshi was a good match although the ending was a bit poor as I don't consider Senshi to be the kind of heel who needs to cheat to win,his talent alone is enough but I guess that's a bit naive because heels are supposed to break the rules. The arm wrestling was complete rubbish and I was glad to see it end. Samoa Joe vs Sabu was short but alright considering the homicidal,genocidal and suicidal one was working with a broken arm ! It's true that it can be considered overkill but when the PPV is consistently entertaining and never gets boring I don't consider this form of overkill a bad thing.
