Guest MikeSC Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Backlash was by far the worst PPV this year so far. The only good match on the card that I can remember was the WWE tag team title match between Team Angle and the Guerreros. As far as the crappiest PPV ever goes, look no further then the 1995 King of the Ring. There was absolutely no good matches on the entire card. IMO, it was the worst PPV that I have ever seen. I dunno --- WCW's PPV's before the Bisso era in 2000 weren't afraid to suck the meat missile with some serious gusto. Heck, the WCW PPV's from after Slamboree 1999 until about Slamboree 2000 were all pretty much suckfests (with Mayhem being a debatable exception). And let's not even get into how bad the last ECW PPV was. Badd Blood, I have no doubt, was not good (I have not seen a PPV since WM 19 and don't feel too bad about it) --- but it takes something special to really be placed in the upper echelons of suckitude. -=Mike ...And let's not even bring up GAB 1991, the absolute worst show in the history of the business 90% of the roster dogging/half-assing their matches at GAB 91 earns the title of worst PPV ever. WWF wise, KOTR 95. I honestly cant remember a thing from any of the matches in terms of offense except UT jobbing to a kick and leg drop. A KICK AD LEG DROP! The undead unstoppable Undertaker loses to a kick. Well, it was a really fat kick. -=Mike ...Odds are, Mabel was just sucking wind so hard that UT passed out due to oxygen deprivation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I thought Bad Blood had a great match with Flair vs. Michaels, but didn't live up to expectations. Its just that this PPV had so many screwups and clusterfucks, that I thought it was the CRAPPIEST PPV ever. Backlash is the worst this year though. And I've never seen KOTR 95, so deem me the savior of lost souls, who fell into temptation and watched that, as I'm being told, horrible PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can never fully explain what a BAD PPV is without those two shows (though you can do a suitable job replacing GAB '91 with ANY WCW PPV between Slamboree 1999 and 2000). -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Wasn't GAB 91 the one with Eric Bischoff commentating? It was the one where Flair had just left the company and Luger faced Barry Windham for the Western States ... oops, WCW World Title in a tepid cage match. Horrid card with no matches being worth watching again --- outside of the comedy value. -=Mike --- Actually, BATB '99 might be worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, that was pretty bad (fortunately, I only saw the commercial tape and missed several of the matches). Booking a PPV when Turner's own Braves were in their first-ever World Series? Brilliant. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Real Nosferatu Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I think Jim Ross & Schiavone did Commentary. Dont quote me on that though, although im 1/2 right. lol. Heroes of Wrestling blows GAB 91 out of the water lke the shark in JAWS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Wrestling blows GAB 91 out of the water lke the shark in JAWS. Never seen that --- but it does seem a little unfair. It takes a special company to put on a crap PPV and then live to put on MORE shows that were even WORSE. Anybody can blow their load and suck for one day. -=Mike --- Yes, it DOES sound a little dirty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Real Nosferatu Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I always liked Halloween Havoc....lol. was Great American Bash 99 headlined by Savage/Nash w/ Sid returning and including a terrible under-card not fitted for PPV?

AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Bischoff was just an interview guy at GAB 91. Also, why is there no mention of KOTR 99? I mean, SHIT... the only *decent* match involved both male members of the McMahon clan and the worst match featured like a 4 minute choke spot. On Bad Blood 2003, I can't really remember any match striking me as being anywhere near "average". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 What about any version of Halloween Havoc? Havoc 1998 was the good one with the exception of Hogan / Warrior II. In KOTR 95's defense, Holly / Roadie was pretty good and I have to give credit to Savio Vega for wrestling FOUR matches in one night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hass of Pain Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Uncensored 95 was a pretty damn bad pay-per-view that doesn't get many mentions these days. Not to mention the fact that the concept was a southern fried rip-off of ECW who was hot at the time. Dustin Rhodes vs. The Blacktop Bully in the back of a moving truck in broad daylight despite the fact that the match was supposedly live at 8:15pm (Bully bladed without permission and got fired to add to the fun), Meng vs Hacksaw in a martial arts match, Randy Savage vs. Earthquake, Sting vs. The Bossman, a DREADFUL encounter between Harlem Heat and The Nasty Boys, and Hogan vs. Vader in the YAPAPI STRAP MATCH. The only redeeming thing about the show was Arn Anderson vs. Johnny B Badd. Combining all of the ratings from Scott Keith's rant on the event (sue me, I was too lazy to go back and watch myself) the show takes home a net -**. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tawren 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Not the worst PPV ever, not with a ***1/4 Goldberg/Jericho and a **3/4 HHH/Nash HIAC. Are you kidding me? Goldberg/Jericho was barely **, while the HIAC would be lucky to hit *! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jesse Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Jericho carrying Goldberg to his second best match ever So, in your opinion, what was Goldberg's "best match ever"? DDP at Halloween Havoc 98 That's the answer I was expecting. That's the match everyone names as Goldberg's best, and it still sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
