10 Biggest WWE Pay-Per-View Disappointments
8. Bret Hart Vs Bob Backlund (WrestleMania 11)
Bret Hart knew his worth, his value, and the quality he brought to matches, and even he thinks his WrestleMania 11 match was a stinker.
A substantial let-down, the 'I Quit' match between Hart and Bob Backlund was the final payoff to an enjoyable feud the two had carried over from late-1994, after Backlund viscously snapped and dethroned 'The Hitman' to transition the WWE Title to Diesel.
In contrast to the choice Survivor Series title switch the prior November though, the submission-based stipulation murdered the bout, with guest referee Rowdy Roddy Piper gobbling up the heat by shoving a wired microphone in both wrestler's face as often as he could to register the opponent surrendering.
Whilst that structurally damaged the contest, the finish completely to deliver the promised outcome.
With Backlund trapped in his own devastating crossface chickenwing submission hold, Piper jammed the microphone in his face yet again, broadcasting the garbled screams of Pyscho Bob as he struggled, then inexplicably ordered the referee to ring the bell.
This apparently constituted a victory for Hart, who looked visibly cross in his celebrations as he presumably lamented comfortably the worst pay-per-view match he'd ever competed in.
