10 Biggest WWE Pay-Per-View Disappointments
9. Shawn Michaels Vs Ric Flair (Bad Blood 2003)
Dwarfed in stature compared to their outstanding WrestleMania 24 clash five years later, this first televised meeting of two of the all-time greats failed to live up to the billing and suffered the ignominy of being tucked away on a B-show in 2003.
Going less than fifteen minutes during Monday Night Raw's first post-Brand Extension pay-per-view, Flair and Michaels couldn't get going in the contest, with 'The Nature Boy' leaning on his cheapest heel spots as a member of Evolution whilst Michaels tried to find the vim that had spilled over during his outstanding feud with Chris Jericho earlier in the year.
Resorting to shortcuts at the end of a laboured affair, Michaels needlessly splashed Flair through a table at ringside and was about to polish off his opponent with Sweet Chin Music until Ric's 'Evolution' buddy Randy Orton waffled him with a steel chair for a callously cheap finish.
Considered a dream match in real life and storylines, the brawl was an inexcusable non-event between two iconic figures that only served to preserve the value of the flagging heel stable ahead of Triple H's World Title victory over Kevin Nash later in the night.
