10 Awesome Wrestling PPVs With Only One Bad Match

Match: Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella.

Money In The Bank 2011 will forever be remembered for a lively CM Punk vs. John Cena main event, but don't discount both MITB ladder bouts or a tasty Christian vs. Randy Orton title tussle too. Mark Henry vs. Big Show was also a decent (and mercifully short) big man battle to round things out.

The Divas Title showing was one turd the pay-per-view couldn't flush though.

Kelly Kelly looked the part, and yet she didn't have the fundamentals to soar as a credible champion in 2011. Fans yearning for something more on the women's side of things were left disappointed by multiple rest holds in a five-minute match. This was basic, basic stuff.

Worse, no-one in the stands gave a hoot about the outcome because they'd just watched a bump-heavy ladder match minutes before. Kelly vs. Brie Bella was the very definition of a "p*ss break match", and had no business being on the show.
