10 Wrestlers Who Didn’t Deserve To Be On WWE PPV Posters
1. Big Show And Hornswoggle – Money In The Bank (2011)
There’s potential for this poster to make you severely squirm. Any adult with this hanging on their bedroom wall might be considered a bit disturbed. It features Big Show and Hornswoggle in pyjamas reading a bedtime story full of Money in the Bank shenanigans. It looks like it’s advertising a show on Netflix’s Kids TV Shows section, not a wrestling pay-per-view.
To further your distaste for this poster, Hornswoggle wasn’t booked for the event and Big Show was in a less than stellar feud with Mark Henry at the time which resulted in a less than stellar match on the card between these two giants lasting just 6 minutes. To have Big Show as your wrestler promoting the event alongside Hornswoggle was short-sighted.
This poster’s especially awful in hindsight given the magnitude the headline match on the card between John Cena and CM Punk for the WWE Championship turned out to be. Dave Meltzer awarded the Cena–Punk main event five stars and it’s regarded as one of the greatest matches of all time for emotion and story.
Even the match before that one is looked upon fondly to this day with Christian defeating Randy Orton by disqualification to become World Champion. If only they had used Cena or Punk or even Orton or Christian then the world wouldn’t have been subjected to this poster.
