10 Pay-Per-View Main Events WWE Could Actually Call The Worst EVER

F*ck WWE for the state of this match, f*ck them if they had reasons beyond their control for having it go to a non-finish, f*ck Road Dogg for having post-show fights with fans years ago about seeing where the story goes as if everything was still joined up, and most of all f*ck all of us for always accepting the corporate reasons for something sh*t rather despite a willingness to betray the creative. Because this was a betrayal for the ages.

It'd be easy to put all this impotent rage down to recency bias, but why? Why yet again make excuses for a company that has done this before and will do it again with alarming regularity if the situation requires.

WWE sold tickets to a show based on the premise of their most over character doing battle with a Universal Champion he'd taken complete control of on television. For an eighth of the match, they allowed the match to tell the story - The Fiend no-selling just about everything finally, finally brought Bray Wyatt as close to The Undertaker as his fans have been fantasy booking for years, but the moment the match careers off a cliff can be viewed with eyes sealed shut.

The browbeaten Sacramento crowd began sounding their displeasure as Seth hit stomp after stomp after stomp after stomp as an already-inelegant mess killed both characters rather just the one, with the much-discussed non-finish an entirely unacceptable ending to a contest where men (two in particular) have risked their lives for the cause.

It's not the worst because it just happened, or because of the rushed and panicked booking that brought it to life in the first place, it's the worst because it's the f*cking worst.
