12 WWE PPVs With TWO Unsatisfactory World Title Matches

12. Armageddon 2002 (Shawn Michaels Vs. Triple H; The Big Show Vs. Kurt Angle)

First up on that night was SmackDown's WWE Championship match, which saw Kurt Angle challenge the then-champion, The Big Show. 'The Olympic Hero' would win that bout and his third WWE Championship with a huge assist from a p*ssed off Brock Lesnar, who came in and F5'd the giant after being robbed of the belt at the prior pay-per-view, Survivor Series.

The match itself wasn't necessarily bad, especially for The Big Show's standards, but it doesn't compare to most of the matches from the glorious days of the 'SmackDown Six' era.

Meanwhile, fighting over RAW's World Heavyweight Championship in a brutal(ly long) Three Stages of Hell Match were Shawn Michaels and Triple H. It was the third chapter of the former DX members' feud, whose ending never came, despite the pay-per-view's theme song! It was far from being as good as their confrontations at either SummerSlam or Survivor Series earlier that year.

Sure, the match had its moments and features some insane spots, but it didn't grab the fans' attention as much as their first encounter at SummerSlam, which featured stronger psychology and felt more like a "blood feud" instead of a glorified spot fest.
