10 Biggest Car Crash Wrestling PPVs Ever

4. WCW Uncensored 1996

As far as poisoned pay-per-view brands go, WCW Uncensored takes some beating, with the 1995 (lowlighted by Dustin Rhodes and Blacktop Bully fighting on a moving truck) and 2000 (shout-outs to the KISS Demon) incarnations both honourable mentions here.

But while those shows were bad, neither were as straight-up hilarious as 1996, and the main reason for that is simple: Doomsday Cage, baby.

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage vs. The Alliance to End Hulkamania is the most perfectly-booked pro-wrestling trainwreck of all time. With its triple-tiered cell, 8-on-2 format, and complete lack of physical space (restricting the wrestlers to nought but basic strikes and holds) rendering it a farce. So contrived was the stipulation that most of the wrestlers genuinely looked confused as to what they were supposed to be doing. Yes, it featured some of the greatest of all-time in Hogan, Savage, Ric Flair, and Arn Anderson (who showed up in his pyjamas), but it concluded with Ed bloody Leslie showing up with a frying pan. God bless WCW.

Elsewhere, Uncensored 1996 delivered a brutally stiff clash between Finlay and William Regal, who beat the absolute tar out of each other to almost no crowd response, and a hideous intergender battle pitting Col. Robert Parker and Madusa.
