In case I went too obscure... This was the only PPV to be hosted from the Dallas Sportatorium, presented by one of the post GWF companies, the CWA: the Confederate, er, Continental Wrestling Association. It was being sponsored by, well, a bodyguard hiring firm, and as such, one of said bodyguards got to be on the face team and spoiler, gets the winning fall. The match was a multi man tag with convoluted football rules....think the Raw Bowl but WORSE. Referee James Beard has a story about JBL trying to work with Dom Minaldi (the bodyguard in question), you can find it online somewhere... |

Armageddon 1999 is a pretty dead show. Arguably one of the worst of the attitude era. The top 2 matches are HHH v Vince and Big Show v Bossman in a world title squash match. You have Rock and Sock v the New Age Outlaws which seems like it would be a bit of a dream match in that era but for some reason the crowd is dead like it was for most of the show. Miss Kitty flashing the crowd is about the only thing that woke up the crowd all night. Then a month later they have one of the greatest PPVs ever. On the bright side, at least 2018 in that time had the Charlotte/Becky feud and the associated rise of Becky to The Man. Plus the second MMC was harmless fun even with all the chopping and changing that went on. Yeah the women were definitely the saving grace at that time. The thing killing Raw especially was how dreadful the men's main event scene was with Baron Corbin as a top heel getting so much TV time and Ambrose's botched heel turn. Other thing about Armageddon is, the Vince/Hunter match started the Regime, which stretched to this day, on screen and definitely behind the scenes. |

Souled Out 1999 (another one that might qualify) gave us Van Hammer vs Finlay on PPV. Also had the Saturn/Jericho dress match, an abysmal Luger/Konnan match, David Flair's first match and the Hall/Goldberg taser ladder match lol You could definitely add this show to list. The opener is Chris Benoit vs Mike Enos...why? Why was Mike Enos on PPV? Couldn't the have ran something like Benoit vs Scott Norton or even Brian Adams since the Horsemen were feuding with nWo? |

WCW in 2000 is generally considered wall to wall terrible
But most of those terrible shows at least had some memorable bullshit on
Superbrawl 2000 is an aggressively boring show

In your house international incident. Drivel from start to finish although some fans rave about the main event even that I thought was poor.

It feels like a lot of Finlay WCW PPV matches were really f***ing bad. The one against Regal at Uncensored 96 was pretty good. Which ended in a double dq.... AT UNCENSORED!! |

It's funny how the Great American Bash was just as cursed for WWE as it was for WCW. There were some truly wretched shows with the name in both companies.
Victory Road was similarly cursed for TNA.

Feel like people only ever bring up Backlash 2018 to talk about Charlotte / Carmella and the fact they had AJ and Nakamura go to a dick kick-related double count out in a no-DQ match, and that was probably the worst of it but that whole show was roooough. You had a great opener between Seth and Miz but then after that there is just nothing redeemable about that show whatsoever and then it just closed on a completely heatless Reigns / Joe match for no apparent reason. I was drawing a blank so I went to Wiki it and it turns out I haven't seen this show. Whichever PPV was Elevated Liver Enzymes. It turns out screwing up your entire card on 2 days notice leads to an event hat just sucks. Although I think it's where we got Regal v Finlay in a "Stiff the shit out of each other respectfully" match Disagree with this one though. For a last minute re-draft, GAB2006 is surprisingly good. Londrick/Pitbulls is a great opener, I'm quite fond of the Regal/Finlay polite stiff fest (an audience in 2022 would appreciate it far more than the audience in 2006), Helms/Matt was pretty good, and who didn't enjoy Batista getting disqualified for kicking too much ass? I've kind of long thought that Unforgiven 2002 should be way more infamous than it is. There's the HLA stuff, basically the entire night heels dominate, they kick off the World title run as a belt by having Triple H beat RVD in the middle of the card via a run-in, the whole show ends on a very forced double-DQ, and I don't really recall a single thing about the show that's actually worth seeing. Looking at the card maybe Benoit vs. Angle but those two had 80 other matches around that time anyway. The Benoit/Angle match is OK but not a patch on their other stuff. See also Eddie/Edge. The main event is also a pretty good brawl but again, the weaker of the Taker/Brock brawls. That's Unforgiven 2002. A whole host of decent matches which had better rematches elsewhere. My vote is for Armageddon 1999: Tag Battle Royal - battle royal with a bunch of talents (mostly the APA, Edge and Christian, the Dudleys and especially the Hardys) so yeah this is quite decent. Kurt Angle v Steve Blackman - underwhelming match but still one of the best on card Evening Gown Pool Match - f***ing disgrace Hollys v Rikishi and Viscera - no heat, no promotion, just Rikishi (face) and Viscera (heel) teaming and not getting along. Val/Bulldog/Dlo - Probably the match of the night, despite having an injured Val Venis, a broken down Davey Boy, and a confidence blown D'lo. European title match. Kane v X-Pac - Remarkably dull for a cage match. Chyna © v Chris Jericho - Not as good as their Survivor Series match, but at least Jericho won. Rock n Sock v NAO - Long, plodding, crowd loved Rock, but Foley was in his career end (pre-Cactus) slump and the Outlaws were in a "we have to go 20 minutes" stalling match. Big Show v Bossman - Everyone wanted Bossman to win, and he dominated early, only to lose to one Chokeslam. No wonder the crowd chanted bullshit. (Bias may precede...) Triple H v Vince - This goes 30 minutes FFS. |

Armageddon 2003 is 3 hours of your life you'll never get back. This show doesn't get the hate it deserves when these kind of lists come up.

Hell in a Cell 2017 was pretty damn rough. Usos / New Day was a great opener but the last four matches are Charlotte and Natalya going to a DQ, Jinder beating Nakamura, a Roode / Ziggler match, and then the excruciating grind that is Shane / KO, and the stuff in-between is just completely forgettable.

Victory Road 09 Everybody remember Jenna Vs Sharmell but no one actually talks about the show. The stupid ass finish of Beer Money vs MEM, Kevin Nash having a long ass match with AJ and beating him for the Legends title and your main event was Kurt Angle Vs Mick Foley There’s such a gross stretch where Mick Foley main events like 4 TNA ppvs |

Sorry 4 Party Rockin I think that show single handily killed Newlegacyinc doing discord live commentary on shows Oh my god I can't remember if I watched it while they did or the VOD the next morning but I sat through that entire bit for like well over an hour. It literally went so long the camera guy ran out of cool fans to show and you saw the same La Parka kid like 20 times. |

Oh James Brown was hyped, but 1) Cat was a heel, so no one expected it to be real, a midget or impersonator or something who he'd beat up in a lame segment 2) No one expected WCW to pay for him |
