10 Wrestling Matches That Killed WWE PPVs
People Power = the opposite of giving fans what they want.
There are so many excellent examples of matches that have saved WWE pay-per-views (Steve Austin vs. The Rock at WrestleMania XV, Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel from 'Mania XI and HBK's Ladder rematch with Razor Ramon at SummerSlam 1995 come to mind) from being rotten and unwatchable.
What about the ones so poor or unremarkable that they actually killed the shows they were on?
Not every match here is a main event; wrestlers don't have to go on last to kill the crowd or leave everything else on the card feeling redundant. Sometimes, a match is so utterly useless that it destroys all hope for matches yet to come. In that sense then, this is a mixed bag of trash that had fans sitting on their hands and leaving the building with a sour taste in their mouths.
There are gimmicks and crappy finishes aplenty too, because nothing screams 'let's kill this town' like a poorly-executed stipulation or ending that has fans longing for simplicity. Remember folks, pay-per-view is where the biggest issues are settled.
Or not...
