10 Times WWE Posters Totally Lied To You

Seemingly since the dawn of time, WWF/WWE has used posters to effectively market upcoming Pay-Per-View events. On occasion, these promotional images are stellar, and effective in getting fans excited for the shows. For example, who will ever forget the poster used to promote the 2001 PPV, 'Invasion'? The image featured a face split right down the middle, mixing both Shane and Vince McMahon. In one fell swoop, the company were able to let people know exactly what the event was all about. The ongoing WCW vs. WWF angle may have ended up failing, but at least the poster did a fine job. There are countless other examples, but what about those posters that mislead or outright confuse the fan base? That's what this article explores, those Pay-Per-View posters that pretty much lied to fans. It's understandable that WWE would want to organise the photoshoots for the poster ahead of time, but sometimes that can actually hurt the promotion of the upcoming event itself. The reasons why these posters misled fans are extremely varied. Perhaps a wrestler was shown on the poster that didn't actually appear as scheduled, or maybe a match was depicted that never actually took place. Whatever the case, these 10 examples are notable instances when WWF/WWE got it wrong.
