10 Biggest Car Crash Wrestling PPVs Ever
1. Heroes Of Wrestling
Watching Heroes Of Wrestling is a rite of passage for any wrestling fan. It is sad and hilarious in equal measure: a historically awful pay-per-view that couldn't have gone worse even if the organisers were practising self-sabotage, offering only a few moments of acceptable action amidst the chaos.
This embarrassment of a show was designed to capitalise on nostalgia, with swathes of wrestling legends brought in for the occasion. Therein lied one of the biggest problems. Jimmy Snuka, Jim Neidhart, Jake Roberts, Yokozuna: the majority of these performers were years removed from their respective peaks, and few could still go, with Julio Fantastico and the evergreen 2 Cold Scorpio wrestling the only bout that wasn't an utter disaster.
Commentators Dutch Mantell, Lou Albano, and the clueless Randy Rosenbloom were as awful as the production values. Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik went -***** against the Bushwhackers. Weighing in at an estimated 700lbs, Yoko could barely even walk to the ring, but worst still was an inebriated Roberts, whose pre-main event promo was tragically incoherent:-
"You don't want to play cards with me because I'll cheat. Okay? I cheat. You wanna play 21? I've got 22. You want to play blackjack? I've got two of those, too! You wanna play aces and eights, baby? I got too many of those, too!"
Jake, at the height of his noted personal problems, would cap the nightmare by wanking a snake in said bout.
Just watch this show.
