I don't think I have seen SummerSlam 1995 listed yet. That was by far the worst SummerSlam WWE has ever done. Just look at some of the card: Barry Horowitz vs. Skip Bret Hart vs. Issac Yankem Bertha Faye vs. Alundra Blayze Diesel vs. King Mabel Absolutely dog shit card, also the ring announcer sucked ass that night. Called Alundra Blayze a "he" and announced Diesel as still "World Razaing Federation champion". I am less down on this PPV than you are, but I had to give this a like just for the mocking of the announcer cracking me up. Thank you sir. I am trying to find out that announcer's name, trying to replace the Fink didn't work that well back then lol.

As a long time WCW fan, I have come to realize something looking back to their PPV's: Halloween Havoc and Uncensored PPV's all sucked something fierce.

Halloween Havoc 95 is just fantastically awful. I LOVE it though because it was the first live Wcw PPV I ever saw. I agree. That show was so bad it was actually good That show was how I realized wrestling was staged. I was six at the time and just started watching full time, I had my doubts about if it was legit or not. The Giant falling off of the roof of Cobo Hall and returning to fight Hogan for the title completely unphased made me realize that my doubts were well placed lol.

Has Armageddon 1999 been mentioned? PPV is awful. While it did mark Stephanie's heel turn, You have:
- a main event with Triple H beating up Vince for 20 minutes. - Big Show vs Big Boss Man in probably the lamest WWF title match ever. It was pretty much the fourth biggest match of the show. - the memorable team of Viscera and Rikishi against the Holly's. Why that match happened, I have no idea. - Val Venis vs D'Lo vs Davey Boy - Steve Blackman vs Kurt Angle - a swimming pool match
Believe it or not, Russo had been gone for two months.

The Holly's had some bizarre gimmick at the time of claiming to be super-heavyweights and carrying a scale and weighing their opponents. I can't for the life of me remember why, I am not sure if that predates this.

But this show had an great (But not as great as WMX) Ladder match Between Razor and HBK but the show still reaks of so much garbage that Razor/HBK Ladder match 2: Stone Cold (Simpsons Bible story reference) does not prevent Summerslam 1995 from being the worst Summerslam ever, speaking of Worst _____ Ever, Starrcade 1994 which had Hogan VS the Butcher as YOUR MAIN EVENT, this Starrcade makes Starrcade 1997 look like Starrcade 83 (or '93) in comparison.

Rikishi's first interview was that night too. He sounded like crap "Hickery dickery dock, Rikishi finally talk" Does that even rhyme? That Viscera and Rikishi tag team was a joke and I can't remember if the ending of that match lead to a feud or any kind. Rikishi is really lucky he caught on with Too Cool because I don't know how much he would have gotten over without dancing

Anyway, Armageddon 1999 wasn't all bad. It had a split second of The Kat's tits.

Honestly aside from the main event I think Starrcade 1993 is a lousy PPV. This is a show that gave the Nasty Boys vs. Sting and Hawk 30 MINUTES and a DQ finish. As far as HH and Uncensored go, I haven't seen every one of them but here goes.
Halloween Havoc:
HH 1989: This is a good PPV. Not the greatest from 1989, but it was solid. HH 1990: I have yet to see this in its entirety and the Network only has the edited version. Nastys/Steiners is good though, but the main is idiotic. HH 1991: I kinda like this in a guilty pleasure way. The Chamber of Horrors is hilariously bad, but the main event of Luger/Simmons is solid power man stuff, and I think there's a good Taylor/Eaton match. HH 1992: Okay, this show sucked. Don't think anything was good on it. HH 1993: Haven't seen though the main event is supposed to be good. HH 1994: Just seen Hogan/Flair and it was great, not sure about the rest. HH 1995: Oh lord. Hilariously bad. HH 1996: Pretty good show aside from an NWO run in filled main event. HH 1997: One of WCW's stronger PPVs from that era. Rey/Eddie, DDP/Macho...good stuff. HH 1998: One of the most disappointing shows ever. Tons of build, on paper the card was stacked, but it mostly sucked. HH 1999: Lots of discussion here on this one. Total Russo crap, but it has its defenders. It's at least not dull, haha. HH 2000: One of the worst PPVs ever I would think.
Uncensored:
1995: Guilty pleasure crap. Indefensible on any level but I laughed at least. Flair in drag~! 1996: Undercard is at least feasible, but the main event triple cage match...oh my god. 1997 and 1998: Haven't seen these. 1999: This one was in Louisville and I didn't bother going. Did see the PPV. It was the beginning of the end and the main event was botched. 2000: The thick of the end of WCW. One of the most depressing cards ever.

I just looked that Hawk/Sting/Nastys match up and you're right, it was 29 minutes long. That is f***ing horrifying.

Armageddon 1999 was during that weird post Russo/pre 2000 time period where I thought the WWF was kinda crappy. They were trying to push HHH as a serious main event star and no one cared yet. I wonder to this day what his career would look like if Vince hadn't come to his senses with the Big Show push and put Foley in the Rumble title match instead. I tend to think HHH might have simply held the belt until WM, jobbed to The Rock, and drifted down the card once the McMahon/Helmsley angle fizzled.

Uncensored 1998 was a big mess, though it had a match with DDP vs. Benoit vs. Raven that was pretty intense.

I think he'd have bounced back, but yeah, Foley helped Triple H to gain traction a LOT, because they needed to keep Rock and Triple H apart at the time, but Big Show was simply not working in the meantime.

Twice now I've tried to watch WCW Souled Out 2000. I have yet to make it through the full show since it's so bad. The first match is Billy Kidman vs. Dean Malenko. The rules of the match state that if you leave the ring and both feet touch the floor, you lose. Well about two minutes into the match Malenko apparently forgets the stipulation and rolls out the ring to catch a breath. After some obvious confusion, the match is declared over and Kidman is announced as the winner. What an opener. Sadly the next few matches aren't any better. Here's the rest of the card. I'm not making any of these up. I dare you to watch this crap.
Vampiro vs. David Flair & Crowbar (it's chop-tastic) Big Vito & Johnny the Bull vs. Ron & Don Harris (This is a PPV match?!?! It's a 10 minute snorefest) Oklahoma vs. Madusa - WCW Cruiserweight Championship match (This match will make you weep for humanity) Brian Knobbs vs. Fit Finlay vs. Meng vs. Norman Smiley - WCW Hardcore Championship match (hope you like gratuitous trash can shots) Billy Kidman vs. Saturn (best match so far, but you already know Kidman will win) Booker T vs. Stevie Ray (No one likes seeing these two fight and we get a DQ finish) Tank Abbott vs. Jerry Flynn (at least it's very short) Buff Bagwell vs. DDP - Last Man Standing Match (I won't be the one left standing, that's for sure) Billy Kidman vs. The Wall (Kidman's third match of the night) Kevin Nash vs. Terry Funk - Hardcore Match (I haven't made it this far yet) Chris Benoit vs. Sid - WCW Heavyweight Championship Match (Benoit's last match in WCW - they put the belt on him in a desperate plea for him to stay)

I watched Superbrawl Revenge and Greed on the first day I had the network, because I wanted to see if WCW was really as bad as people made it out to be, and as an 8 year old all I got was our shitty rendition of Worldwide from 1998-2001.
If the trend continued, I have to say Jamie Kellner ruined what may have been the greatest wrestling product at the time. People like EZ Money and Shane Helms were getting honest to god pushes. Even Kwee Wee was in a good match.
As for bad:
No Mercy 07. See Randy Orton AWARDED his first WWE title. See him lose it in 12 minutes. See HHH defend the belt against Umaga mid show See Orton gain it back at the end of the night.
...you couldn't stretch that out a little?

^I cut No Mercy 2007 slack due to Cena's injury, and having to rework the entire show in less than a week. We still got a fantastic Last Man Standing Match, and a far better than expected Punjabi Prison Match. Armageddon 1999 was during that weird post Russo/pre 2000 time period where I thought the WWF was kinda crappy. They were trying to push HHH as a serious main event star and no one cared yet. I wonder to this day what his career would look like if Vince hadn't come to his senses with the Big Show push and put Foley in the Rumble title match instead.

I think he'd have bounced back, but yeah, Foley helped Triple H to gain traction a LOT, because they needed to keep Rock and Triple H apart at the time, but Big Show was simply not working in the meantime. Yeah, and one thing that can't be overlooked is how much Stephanie helped Triple H to get that massive main event heat. She was a heat magnet and that crowd response rubbed onto Trips.
