10 Biggest WWE Pay-Per-View Disappointments
10. Rey Mysterio Vs Sabu (One Night Stand 2006)
One of the first signs that WWE's 2006 ECW relaunch may not be quite the renegade it promised, Rey Mysterio's 'Extreme Rules' World Title defence against Sabu was less of a hardcore war and more a harsh reminder of the passage of time.
Both were working at half speed, with most of the chair-based or high flying offence falling way short of expectations as the contest highlighted some huge impending issues with the muddled revival.
With Sabu a shell of his 1990s self and Rey Mysterio long-homogenised by extended runs in WWE and WCW (and playing it safe in the match itself), the fans in attendance had little convincing to latch onto, and completely lost their patience when the battle was abruptly waved of by doctors f following a springboard DDT through a table onto the World Champion.
It was a ludicrous finish, not least one that couldn't exist under ECW rules, nor the 'extreme' ones WWE placed on the contest themselves.
With spots throughout the broadcast that were ostensibly more 'hardcore' than the move as well as Sabu's entire schtick working around how insane and brave he was in the face of potential injury, it was the worst possible outcome in the worst possible match.
