10 Worst WWE Pay-Per-Views Ever

9. WrestleMania XI

Worst WWE Pay-Per-Views

A all-timer in 'Worst WrestleMania' lists with good reason, the 1995 edition of the show was weighed down by celebrity involvement thanks ostensibly to Vince McMahon's insecurities around the lack of genuine stars in his own travelling production.

The event housed 13 'special guests', only four less than the number of active competitors on the card that night. The Hollywood hullabaloo in between clashes didn't even bolster the card. Few were laughing along to Jonathan Taylor Thomas' chess victory over Bob Backlund after the former WWE Champion stunk out the joint with Bret Hart in a clash 'The Hitman' calls one of his worst ever.

Elsewhere, Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence Taylor main eventing isn't as bad as it sounds, but Undertaker vs. King Kong Bundy is.

Diamond In The Rough: Shawn Michaels and Diesel had an excellent war waged mostly through stubbornness and disappointment thanks to their placement on the card underneath the Bigelow/Taylor main event. 'L.T' tries really, really hard in his novelty knockabout with the Million Dollar Corporation's heavy hitter. He earned his money even if he didn't draw it.
