7 Short-Lived WWE Shows You Forgot Existed

7. WWF Action Zone

Nearly two years after the successful debut of Monday Night Raw, WWE launched another new show titled Action Zone. Like the company's flagship show, it also aired on the USA Network, featuring commentary from Vince McMahon (who was replaced by Jim Ross three weeks after its debut) and Todd Pettengill.

Airing on Sundays from 1994 until 1996, Action Zone initially highlighted the top talent of the New Generation Era - with the 60-minute series' premiere episode even featuring a WWE Championship match between Bret Hart and his brother Owen Hart as well as a main event that saw The Undertaker in action.

However, it only took a year for the company to lose interest in the show, using it merely to recap the events that took place on more important shows like Raw and Superstars. It was finally cancelled, with Superstars taking its weekly slot instead. Unfortunately, WWE's loss-of-interest was a growing trend that the company employed with a string of its new shows throughout the subsequent decade.
