Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2014 Wrestling PPV. Stuff you build up so that people will pay for it. In theory, the stuff you don't want to give away for free on TV because you can make money out of it. Â So how the hell does some stuff make it on? What's the worst shit you've seen on PPV? Matches, skits, interviews, etc. Â I'll go for the Ultimate Warrior/Rick Rude posedown at Royal Rumble 1990. It's not that bad a segment. Heenan's crawling to the crowd is hilarious. But it goes on way, way too long. Most of it is stalling. The posedown itself is pointless. The only hot bit is Rude's cheap attack on Warrior and they ruin that by having Warrior get up and beat them both up anyway! Â What makes this worse, for me, is that these were the days of four PPV's. They had hours and hours of TV between them. And they used a massive chunk of one of those PPV's to build a match on the next one. Â It's up there with the fucking Gobbledy Gooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that though, that it ends up with them hugging each other is still the stuff of PPV nightmares.  Pity also is, there were 2 or 3 dark matches that night of which one could've easily replaced it!

Grecian Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Breaking Point 2009. Â Dolph and Pat Patterson do an in-ring segment that just dies on it's backside with awful jokes that seemed to based solely on the PPV being in Montreal, goes on for far too long until John Morrison makes the save. Why this couldn;t have happened on Raw and given us a Dolph vs Morrison match, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That fucking abysmal midget match at the Survivor Series 94 - shit on every level. Also not a fan of the Rhodes/Sapphire - Savage/Sherri match at Wrestlemania VI - a singles match between Savage and Rhodes would've gone down far better.

Ant Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Tiger Ali Singh vs Gillberg at No Mercy 1999 , absolute dross of the highest order  The whole show was pretty brutal.  The UK tour that took place about a month earlier featured absolutely loaded cards, with jobbers like Brooklyn Brawler and Blue Meanie I'd take over Tiger Ali Singh and Gillberg.

Bosco Blick Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Most of the brand only PPVs were filled with utter shit. Â ECW December to Dismember was probably the worst WWE PPV of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGIT Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That Stevie Richards/ Travis Tomko match. It sucked. Think Richards was in drag as well. Shouldn't have made it past an episode of Heat. Â Edit: wow three minutes late in saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2014 The one that immediately sprung to mind for me was the Ultimate Warrior vs Goldust 'match' at one of the In Your House PPVs. Goldust had a knee injury, so instead of the advertised match, they just went out and chatted shit for what felt like a fortnight. Suppose there wasn't much they could do with Goldust being one legged, but still, sending them out to just waffle for ages on PPV was a bit cack. Â And the Vince vs Stephanie match that seemed to go on a bit too long and be a bit too grappley for comfort. Â Also - Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco rolling about dressed as women. Jerry Springer level weirdness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
