Since the HoF started an hour later than I thought (8 instead of 7), I watched an hour of Slamboree 2000, known primarily for the "gay porn poster" of Buff Bagwell and David Arquette defending the WCW Title in the Triple Tiered cage match. I did laugh when Mark Madden got stuck looking at a bare-assed Ralphus moments after seeing Paisley strip Tammy Sytch of her short mini-dress. Serves that jerk right. I had to look up the poster...my god.

Just thought of another, don't know if it's been mentioned, but King of the Ring 1999 is brutal. I don't think ti gets as much crap because of being in the Attitude Era. If it happened today, it we have Battleground levels of hate.

Starrcade 84 isnt very good either, aside from Steamboat/Tully and Dusty/Flair (and the latter has a crappy ending).

So I just watched Uncensored '96 - did Loch Ness and Rey Mysterio really have the same theme music or is that an edit?

2 hours into Slamboree 96 and I can tell you this is absolute trash.

The amusing thing about that Slamboree is that I rented the tape from Hastings a long time ago only to find Great American Bash 1996 instead (thank you!). So I watched a really good PPV, then went back to Hastings the next day and complained about it not being what I rented and got Slamboree for free. Hey, it was worth watching as a free rental, haha.
Superbrawl 1995...now there's a truly horrible PPV. Hogan/Vader is decent but it has a screwy DQ type finish. The rest of the show is flat out horrible.

I get the story that Dogg didn't want to hit Chyna, but it went on for 13 minutes! To their credit, the crowd was at least into it enough that when Dogg finally did hit Chyna, they did pop big for it.

Starrcade '89. Nothing on the card but a singles and tag team round robin tournament so you see the same 4 guys/teams wrestle over and over all night. Lame. Yea, there really isn't even one match worth remembering on it, but its more boring than anything. IMO the worst PPVs are the boring ones. There's plenty of bad PPVs for a variety of reasons, but as this thread shows there's plenty of entertainment. That's why I think stuff like Mania 27 are among the worst of all time. There's nothing offensive or even silly about anything, its just all so damn boring. I'd rather watch December to Dismember or the WCW Robocop one again before I watch Mania 27.

Capitol Combat 1990 isn't even a bad PPV at all. The goofy 3 minutes of Robocop have completely overshadowed an otherwise solid card of action. Take away HHH/Taker and WM 27 would be a truly awful show.

Starrcade '89 does have Muta/Luger, which isn't good but is amusing thanks to Luger's YEEEEARRRRGH method of selling. And the Sting/Flair main is an unusual one because they haven't worked out the formula they'll use yet so it's a bit more technical and different.
Slamboree '96 has a decent main event. That's...not much praise, I know.

2004 smackdown PPV after Mania. From 2003-2005 alot of the single brand ppvs were pretty bad/lack luster.

If it happened today, it we have Battleground levels of hate. Yeah, that whole thing is just bizarre. They had X-Pac work hurt through the entire tournament instead of going the obvious route of a Billy Gunn / Road Dogg match in the finals? They had time to devote thirteen minutes to Road Dogg / Chyna but not enough time to get in a token bit with Gunn sitting on a throne and cutting a quick promo? The ladder match is decent, though really the briefcase being raised is kind of a massive copout that makes the match itself pointless since there was no way Austin could have won, but that's about it. The rest of the show, especially Rock / Taker, is terrible.

Did a proper Billy Gunn vs Road Dogg match even occur?
Obviously, Over the Edge does not count as a proper match given the circumstances.

A lot of WWF PPV's from 99 were terrible. most of the time the only good match was the main event

Armaggedon 2004, felt like a really bad 3 hour episode of Smackdown. A lot of the single brand PPV's are this way. - A triple threat match with Faarooq, Savio Vega and Crush for the Gang Warz Considering the participants, this match was better than it had any right to be in my opinion. Bunkhouse Stampede 88. Cluster of a main event stip.

Bash 2000 ... Tony talking about storylines and Juvi not being a high flyer during his match annoyed me for some reason... fun opener tho

So I started watching Souled Out 2000, it's really not as bad as everyone is making it out.
That Oklahoma and Madusa match was better than I expected, at least he can actually sell, and the heel got humiliated, I don't see what the issue is really. D
That Dean Malenko botch was a bit idiotic, but it's alright, it's not as if there is a shortage of Billy Kidman matches on the card anyway.
I have seen some truely horrendous 2000 WCW PPVS on the network, this is nothing compared to them. The card seems more like an episode of Nitro, but there's nothing offensively bad so far.
The worse thing I've seen so far is Tank Abott completely missing with his knockout punch, then missing with another Punch yet Flynn staying down
I don't get why they went through the effort of having a hell in a cell style cage made only to debut it in a Billy Kidman and The Wall match though.
But other than those two minor niggles the show was fine, nothing majorly exciting. Pretty middle of the road really, but it wasn't wrestlecrap like alot of WCW PPV's in 2000
Maybe because I wasn't a WCW fan at the time and don't really know the ins and outs of all the politics going on there I don't have that affecting the show for me.
Whilst I'm on that subject it's actually one of the reasons I'm enjoying older wrestling on the network so much, because I can sit back and enjoy the shows for what they are without thinking about all the backstage goings on which is pretty much impossible to do with modern WWE.
