10 Worst WWE PPVS Of The 2000s

6. New Year's Revolution 2005

Why It Sucked New Year's Revolution always sucked, didn't it? The 2005 version of the event was probably the worst of the lot, though. It featured one of the most staggeringly bad undercards of any WWE PPV anywhere, with average matches and unfortunate injuries meaning the first two hours of this show was a chore to sit through. First, the opener. The World Tag Team Title match, with Christian & Tomko challenging the odd couple duo of William Regal & Eugene, certainly had crowd heat (the crowd were hot all show, bless them), but it was nothing more than your standard house show match before Eugene landed badly while performing a dropkick and ruptured his patella tendon. Eugene was benched for close to half the year. The second match also featured a serious injury, suffered by Lita as she attempted a Thesz press off the apron in her Women's Title match with Trish Stratus. The flame-haired diva tore her ACL and the match had to be ended after just a few minutes. Double crumbs. Injuries didn't mar the third match - if you can even call it a match, that is. Shelton Benjamin defeated Maven twice in about eight seconds after the Tough Enough winner cut a promo in what was an absolute shambles. What the f*** was going on here? And what the f*** was going on in the next match between Muhammad Hassan and Jerry Lawler? Now, I'm a Lawler mark and everything (shame on you if you're not), but who gave him and the greenhorn ten whole minutes of PPV time to play with? Hassan wasn't ready for that and Lawler wasn't the man to carry him at this point. The action was awful and it almost killed Hassan off before he even got started. Did Anything Redeem It? The (vacant) World Heavyweight Title Elimination Chamber main event (Benoit, Jericho, Batista, Triple H, Kane and Edge with Shawn Michaels as the guest referee) was great, but it couldn't make up for an undercard where Kane versus Gene freakin' Snitsky was the most exciting match. The show under-ran by about twenty minutes and Triple H won the World Title back, having never lost it. Haha. Good one.
