10 Memorable WWE Matches From Forgettable Pay-Per-Views
That awesome match, you know, the one that was on that show.... now what was it called again?
Sometimes great pay-per-views have lots of great matches, sometimes they only have one.
Throughout WWE's history, we have been spoiled by pay-per-views with a litany of amazing or history-making matches on their cards. WrestleMania X-Seven, SummerSlam 2000, Money In The Bank 2011: these shows were home to multiple incredible matches, making them easily re-watchable.
However, WWE don't knock it out of the park with every show (understatement of the century) and sometimes they only produce one knockout match on a show. This often helps elevate the match in question, as these great matches become even better against the bland backdrop of a forgettable pay-per-view.
See how many other matches you can name from these shows, as we dive into some of the most obscure big shows WWE have ever put on.
10. Chris Jericho Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (Vengeance 2001)
You'll know about this match if you've heard any Chris Jericho promo ever.
Vengeance 2001 is most famous for being the scene of Y2J's victory over Steve Austin, becoming the first ever Unified WWF Champion in the process. Jericho had won the WCW Championship from The Rock earlier in the night and then defeated Austin to capture his WWF title, bringing the two belts together in a truly history-making moment.
Sadly for the rest of the show, this was pretty much the only exciting thing that happened all night.
The whole card was essentially built around the Undisputed title tournament, so its hardly surprising that none of the other matches were anything to shout about. Even the semi-finals of this tournament - Austin vs. Kurt Angle and Jericho vs. The Rock - were nothing spectacular compared to the final.
Still, this is a truly memorable show for the main event alone, all thanks to Y2J. According to him, anyway.
