WWE 2004 PPVs From Worst To Best

2003 was a poor year, at least inside the ring, for WWE. It was the first year of single-branded PPVs and the rosters just weren't deep enough. Instead, we were 'treated' to stuff like the Eric Bischoff/Steve Austin Redneck Triathlon and the Sable/Torrie Wilson Playboy bikini contest (okay so maybe that one was a treat). What would WWE do to remedy this in 2004? Well, the main thing was that they experimented with putting their World Titles around the waists of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, two performers who were long considered too small to hold the top prize. Eddie was more over than ever (especially with hispanic audiences) while Benoit was being rewarded for his years of hard work. It was an expirement that, sadly, failed: just a few months after capturing the gold, the belts were back around the waists of bigger men, like JBL and Triple H. Those two were constant show-closers throughout the year but their efforts were inconsistent. Trips had something of a rebirth working with Benoit and Shawn Michaels, while JBL was great when he was in there with Eddie, but struggled when matched with someone like The Undertaker. On the undercard, OVW alumni Randy Orton, Shelton Bejnamin, John Cena and Batista were being groomed for the main event while the likes of Rob Van Dam, Christian, Chris Jericho and others faded somewhat into the background. It was a strange year for WWE (I haven't even mentioned Eugene or Snitsky yet) and that strangeness was reflected during the company's PPVs. Here they are, ranked from worst to best.
