Here's another thing I recently had to write that I thought could spark some discussion. marino13 or PJ, if this needs to be on the Classics Board, please move. What are the worst major shows you've ever seen? Here's the link to my picks, but if you don't care to see spam or anything like that, I'll list mine under the link. spam.com/wrestling/the-411-wrestling-top-5-the-top-5-worst-major-shows/5) Victory Road 2011 4) December to Dismember 2006 3) Uncensored 1996 2) King of the Ring 1995 1) Souled Out 2000

I'll update this later but one that always sticks out to me but flies under the radar in these discussion is No Way Out 2008. Two mediocre Elimination Chambers, Chavo going over CM Punk, and Mr. Kennedy being Mr. Kennedy, but what I'll remember until I die is the Cena vs. Orton title match. After wrestling each other for like twenty minutes in one of their more boring matches (and that's saying something), Orton just slaps the ref to get himself disqualified. In a main even match. This is pre-network era, so I paid fifty bucks, Maggle. And that oily mother er laughed after he did it, too. He knew he took my money. Also, Orton must have been coming off a cycle or something because he was easily 20 pounds lighter than usual and his legs looked like toothpicks.

Souled Out can't be that bad.

Souled Out can't be that bad. Maybe it's just me, but the show has 12 matches and I wouldn't give any of them two stars. It's not even the fun kind of bad that some WCW shows tend to be.

I was reading about Souled Out and saw that DDP lost to Buff Bagwell in a Last Man Standing match by simply missing a Diamond Cutter.
If this is true, then that's pathetic.

December to Dismember is the absolute worst PPV that has ever been put on television. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. This show is what you get when Vince McMahon decides he needs to show how big his dick is and how ultimately no one can tell him what to do with his company. It's sad really, because an ECW chamber match sounds fantastic on paper but the choices they made during that match showed how they really felt about the REAL ECW. And just to hammer home how horrible this thing was... there was an honest to goodness TNA chant during the main event. So take that for what it's worth.
I've never felt insulted while watching wrestling, but this made me feel that. It took me a long, long time before I really enjoyed watching after that.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but to be fair, TNA was going pretty well at that point in time. As far as DtD goes, the 'E did drop a big one with that. I actually purchased the DVD for my collection as a stinker gem lol.

Great American Bash 2004 needs to be the only show ever mentioned for a bad wrestling PPV event!

Mmm... I'll have to think about that one for awhile. Great (or not so great) list though Kev.

Great American Bash 2004 needs to be the only show ever mentioned for a bad wrestling PPV event! This 100%! I feel that is the absolute worst PPV ever. Sad to say since I loved the posters and opening of that event, but even Torrie's amazing looks could not save that PPV.

Just off the top of my head. I know I've seen worse, but, without doing any research:
-Battleground '13 -Survivor Series '13 -December to Dismember '06 -Nearly anything from 2007
Of course, there's late WCW as well. I didn't watch most of those. A lot of WWE's '06 PPVs are trash, too. '06-'07 was a miserably low point. There were some bad shows during the brand split days too, but I was still kind of wearing blinders at that point, so the excitement of watching the shows live masked how bad they were. Those were the days of $17.95 Pay-Per-Views on WWE.com in awful quality.
