10 Complete Wastes Of WWE Pay-Per-View Time

The WWE Network has changed how World Wrestling Entertainment perceive the medium of pay-per-view, that much is for certain. Traditionally, the promotion's television output existed for the sole purpose of enticing fans to see live events. Then, from the mid-1980's onwards, the TV product functioned as a way to encourage people to buy specific supershows, during which something newsworthy was virtually guaranteed to happen. With the advent of the Network, WWE no longer look at pay-per-view in the same way. The monthly shows are still important, but they're also now available for a lower price than ever before. Of course, those who don't want the subscription-only service can still purchase these events the traditional way, but the company naturally promotes their own model. This perhaps gives management a bit of a pass when it comes to providing three solid hours of quality content. After all, fans aren't being expected to pay top dollar for one-off shows any longer, so what's the problem? The issue there is that wrestling enthusiasts still expect something special when it comes to pay-per-views. Sometimes, WWE have simply wasted time on these shows, blatantly producing segments that act as little more than filler. This article examines 10 such occasions when valuable pay-per-view time was swallowed up by utter nonsense that fans didn't want to (pay to) see.
