10 Wrestlers Who Didn’t Deserve To Be On WWE PPV Posters

10. The Sandman – December To Dismember (2006)

December to Dismember goes down in the history books as one of the worst pay-per-views WWE ever ran. With only two matches officially announced for the event before it aired, it only drew an alarming 90,000 pay-per-view buys which was the lowest buy rate in WWE history (until the WWE Network in 2014 launched).

The Wrestling Observer voted it the "worst major wrestling show of the year." It was the final nail in the coffin for lead writer Paul Heyman’s first run with WWE as he was quickly sent home by Vince McMahon and let go from the creative team shortly after the event. Heatwave 1998, this was not.

ECW legend The Sandman fronted the poster for the PPV, with his barbed wire tattooed arm sticking out of a chimney wielding his beloved kendo stick. However Sandman wasn’t even booked in a match on the card. He only made a small meagre appearance after Ariel and Kevin Thorn beat Kelly Kelly and Mike Knox, saving Kelly from a beat down from Ariel/Thorn by swinging away with his kendo stick.

Just like Heyman cared and wanted to book CM Punk to win the Extreme Elimination Chamber main event of the show for the ECW World Championship to promote young talent as the future of the ECW brand, many argue Punk should have been at the centre of the poster for December to Dismember as he was the hottest thing in WWE at that point in time (and would be for years it would turn out).
