The Worst Pay-Per-View Match Ever

Big Brian Adams vs Steve McMichael at Road Wild 1998 is the drizzling shits. It takes a lot to be the worst match on that card, but the former leader of the worst stable in wrestling history in the DOA and the man who dresses his dog carry it off with aplomb. It's so bad that it becomes hilarious, and then managed to get even worse in order to transcend that to be the worst thing to happen in wrestling since the Pongo vs Super Ninja match in Herb Abrams' UWF.

I really hate Bam Bam Bigelow vs. New Jack from Wrestlepalooza '98. It represents the worst in ECW: bloodletting with no purpose, stupid garbage brawls, and dangerous spots for the sake of a spot. A clearly woozy from blood loss New Jack jumping from the balcony to the concrete just to hit Bam Bam with a guitar is one of the most unnecessary and dumbest spots I've ever seen.

Oh my I loved that match. It's not good or anything, but it was exactly what you'd want from a New Jack vs Bam Bam match. Really a lot of fun.

Don't know about "worst ever" but Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose was a disappointing bore, made even worse by the rumor that Ambrose actually pitched a lot of cool shit, only for it to be turned down - either for PG reasons or because they didn't want to overshadow Reigns.

 

How about the entire Beware of Dog I PPV where the lights went out? That must've been brutal for the live audience, and it was certainly frustrating for the PPV audience, who got blacked out and didn't realize what the hell was was happening.

 

Beware of Dog II at least redeemed itself with a classic Stone Cold/Savio Vega strap match and Ted DiBiase's final appearance.

Diesel vs. King Mabel at Summerslam 95.

 

I dreaded this match like a prostate exam and it was even more of a bummer than I feared it would be. Vince McMahon has a complete brain fart and puts Oz against the big fat guy from Men On A Mission in the main event of his second biggest PPV of the year. What results is a 9 minute mess with more Irish Whips than a Dublin S&M shop.

 

WCW were geniuses by comparison with Sid-Gigante, hiding two bums in a short gimmick match on the undercard.

Lesnar-Undertaker at WMXXX would be a contender if it weren't for the shock ending. The match with Big Show and A-Train at WMXIX was pretty bad too considering it was meant to be a tag match and ended up being Taker beating the shite out of two people.

 

The HHH-Steiner match at No Way Out 2003 was awful. I never saw the Royal Rumble match.

Sid vs. El Giante at Superbrawl I.

That match was burning garbage on a hot day bad. Ugh. Thankfully it was short. El Gigante in practically anything qualifies for this thread. His only fun match, while Inshould say 2 matches that are even worth watching at all are his match at Bash '90, which he never even legally enters the match, and his match with Zbyszko against Dustin Rhodes and Richard Morton at Starrcade '91. That's literally it. El Gigante sucked.
