10 Wrestling Matches That Killed WWE PPVs

1. Kama Vs. Shawn Michaels (King Of The Ring 1995)

With each passing match on the card, fans in attendance for the King Of The Ring 1995 must have been checking their calendars to see if April Fool's Day had been randomly changed to 25 June. The entire evening, from tournament winner to 'Kiss My Foot' gimmickry and tag match main event, seemed like one big joke.

Shawn Michaels wasn't laughing, and he seemed to publicly air his thoughts by visibly shouting, "Bullsh*t" after drawing with Kama in the Quarterfinals. Seconds later, he was staring a hole through Vince McMahon at ringside. HBK, like everyone, knew eliminating him from the tourney was a big mistake.

He'd just turned babyface around WrestleMania XI time, and yet here he was being knocked out in a 15-minute draw and hitting the showers whilst lumbering disaster Mabel became 'King'. It'd be easy to think fan excitement died when The Undertaker was then ousted by Mabel in the next match, but the Philly Spectrum had already given up on the show when Michaels was beaten.

Suddenly, a horrible picture formed in their minds. Without fresh hero Shawn, there was a real chance somebody bogus would win. They were right. All hail 'King' Mabel and the worst KOTR decision ever.
