9. Battlebowl
First taking place at Starrcade 1991, the 'Battlebowl' concept had some merit to it. Explaining the idea briefly, WCW would book a tag-team tournament which would lead to a main event battle royal. The main hook was that each duo would be drawn completely at random, in theory leading to wrestlers working together who were maybe even feuding on television. The idea continued at Starrcade 1992, before the company decided it deserved its own Pay-Per-View in 1993. On November 20 of that year, WCW presented the premise as a standalone event. The likes of Ric Flair, Steve Austin, Sting and Cactus Jack were all involved, so how could things go wrong? Sadly, whilst the draw did create teams like Flair and Austin, it also dished out Sting and Jerry Sags. It appeared like the drawing was genuinely random, because some of the combinations didn't make sense. For example, Rick Rude and Shanghai Pearce vs. Tex Slazenger and Marcus Bagwell was never going to give fans a wonderful bout. The concept was interesting, but the 'Battlebowl Battle Royal' offered up a poor main event, and people were burned out by the end of the show. The idea didn't really have any sustainability, there was little demand to see it each year.
