10 WWE Matches That Were Spoiled Before They Happened
8. Diesel Vs King Mabel (SummerSlam 1995)
Kevin Nash's commercially catastrophic WWE Championship run has given his critics ammunition ad infinitum - 'Big Daddy Cool' will forever be held up (or put down) as the lowest-drawing titleholder in company history, regardless of deeper analysis into a challenging time for his character and the industry at large.
SummerSlam 1995's buyrate wasn't the worst in the history of the show but was the worst in the show's history up to that point, with nearly 100,000 people less interested in seeing Diesel stroll through the doubles heavy-turned pet project than they were The Undertaker wrestling himself a year earlier.
Mabel winning the King Of The Ring was a shock too far when he actually reached the elevated status - "ECW" chants on the night of his Philadelphia coronation could have easily been explained away, but there was no avoiding how big a mistake the summer super-push had been.
Nash himself felt the literal weight of the error - in front of the second-lowest "Big Five" audience of the year, Diesel paid the price with his body when the massive challenger dropped his full weight down on his back - nothing more succicntly summed up the state of the situation.
