What is the worst wrestling PPV ever?
 
I had intended on posting this thread several days back due to many calling Vengence one of the worst PPVs ever. What do you feel all time the worst PPVs are?

I say the worst are

Uncensored 95
GAB 91
WM 9
WM 11
Heroes of Wrestling

December to Dismember

Verbose Minch 06-29-2007 11:32 PM

I agree with December, I also want to say the Great American Bash where Rey lost the title. Not because he lost the title, but because it was pure shit.

#1-norm-fan 06-29-2007 11:44 PM

The first NWO Souled Out was probably the worst PPV I've ever seen.

Super V 06-29-2007 11:45 PM

The first Bound For Glory.

Arnold HamNegger 06-30-2007 03:48 AM

Anything GLOW related.

What was so bad about WrestleMania XI?

Impact! 06-30-2007 04:42 AM

December 2 Dismember.

The only PPV I've ever ordered, and actually regretted buying. It's also the only PPV I've ordered and not taped, or watched at least part of the replay.

December to Dismember 06
King of the Ring 1995
No Mercy 99 (UK-only version)
Great American Bash 04
Survivor Series 99

hb2k 06-30-2007 11:27 AM

Great American Bash 2004 has to be a candidate.

St. Jimmy 06-30-2007 11:54 AM

December to Dismember, Vengence 07, WCW Mayhem, and WCW New Blood Rising.

James Steele 06-30-2007 11:55 AM

WOW Unleashed

Mercury Bullet 06-30-2007 11:58 AM

I didn't watch D2D but it sounds like the worst. I did watch Vengeance and most of the others mentioned here, and Vengeance takes the top spot in terms of all the ones I've actually experienced first hand.

St. Jimmy 06-30-2007 12:00 PM

Vengence WAS pretty god-awful.

James Steele 06-30-2007 12:01 PM

Slamboree 2000

James Steele 06-30-2007 12:06 PM

Bad Blood 2003

Mercury Bullet 06-30-2007 12:09 PM

Slamboree 2000 was pretty horrid.

I still say Vengeance takes it, simply because Vengeance had a phony good show feel to it, which makes it all the more disappointing. As we came into the year 2000, we pretty much expected WCW PPV's to be bad.

Where's ABT with that picture of the giant turd-cake? Because that's the cake Vengeance takes.

Shaggy 06-30-2007 01:28 PM

I forgot what ppv it was...probably New Years Revolution 2005...like 3 matches ended early due to injury...I think it also had the Stevie Richards Vs Tomko match that just blew horribly...and then to top it all off the ppv ends like an half an hour early.

I dont think Vengeance was that bad...but then again I was there and I guess just the live experience made it seem like it wasnt bad...Ive yet to watch it on TV.

Jordan 06-30-2007 01:31 PM

Honestly the worst is Heros of Wrestling, but the worst WWE PPV I have seen...

King of the Ring 95, and I also hate WM 9.

IC Champion 06-30-2007 01:32 PM

Anything from WCW final year of business, and I'm gonna say the worst PPV ever lies in Vince's WCW tape vault somewhere.

IC Champion 06-30-2007 01:33 PM

And Wreslemania 11 was the shit.

Rammsteinmad 06-30-2007 01:49 PM

What's this Heroes of Wrestling people keep mentioning?

AGREED

starfox8500 06-30-2007 02:00 PM

HOF sounds redic. funny, Jake the Snake simulating an erect weiner lol.
Let us not forget, WRESTLEMANIA 23

Anybody Thrilla 06-30-2007 02:05 PM

I enjoyed Wrestlemania 23.

#1-norm-fan 06-30-2007 02:08 PM

WM 23 was bad but it was also overhyped... far from the worst PPV ever. Money in the Bank and Taker-Batista alone keep it from being considered a worst PPV ever candidate. It's just that everyone expected MUCH more.

Heroes was probably the worst PPV ever but since I obviously never saw it. I'm tempted to give it a look in a weird train-wreck sort of way but... nah.

The first NWO Souled Out in '97 was horrific. Some strange Miss NWO pageant won by an old ugly lady... NWO ref (Nick Patrick) for every match leaving, I believe 3 instances where WCW somehow found a way to win (One was overturned.) The main event saw Hogan get DQed after NWO interferance in an ending that was undeniably WORSE and more anti-climatic than every Nitro leading up to the PPV. And, the entire PPV was in black and white and had NO crowd reactions whatsoever.

I think I summed everything up.

Jordan 06-30-2007 02:18 PM

Calling WM 23 a bad ppv makes you a retard.

St. Jimmy 06-30-2007 02:24 PM

WM 23 wasn't a bad PPV, it just was a bad Mania.

James Steele 06-30-2007 03:07 PM

WrestleMania has such high expectations that it is almost impossible for the event to live up to them.

Tb1 06-30-2007 03:09 PM

Bad Blood '03 was the worst for me. Never saw Legends of Wrestling, so I'll go with the safe pic.

Rob 06-30-2007 03:38 PM

Vengence wasn't even close to being the worst PPV ever.

Given the hype... and given the fact that it was a WrestleMania....

It was a bad PPV.

If they put the show in February and called it "No Way Out", then it would have been a good PPV.

James Steele 06-30-2007 04:00 PM

The only bad match was Kane/Khali. The ECW Originals/New Breed match wasn't great. The Women's Title match doesn't count. (It wasn't even 5 minutes long).

Wow... that's not true at all. They card wasn't spectacular and it was nowhere near as hyped as most recent WMs. (It got more mainstream attention, yes. But that's different than just hype.) It could have easily lived up to the hype. WM 17 was insanely hyped and it even surpassed expectations.

But again, it was WrestleMania. There were no "WrestleMania" moments... no great matches... nothing really remarkable or impactful to a storyline even came out of it with the exception of Taker's title win (If you consider a 40 year old man winning the title on the biggest stage of them all a big deal). It was just bland all around.

The Hardy-Edge ladder spot was actually pretty wild, whether or not it's a WM moment can be disputed.
