10 WWE One-Hit PPVS That Totally Failed To Hit The Mark
8. Capital Carnage
In September of 1997 the WWF staged their first pay-per-view exclusive to the United Kingdom. Previously, SummerSlam 1992 had been hosted in the UK, but it was available in the United States for viewers. One Night Only was an excellent show, and fans in Britain eagerly anticipated what may be in store when the company returned.
The next full pay-per-view from UK shores was Capital Carnage in December 1998. A 4-way main event between Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Mankind and Kane was the most exciting match on offer, but only that and a surprisingly good battle between The Rock and X-Pac were worth shouting about.
Everything else - in similar fashion to Invasion years later - felt lacking. Most of the matches, such as Val Venis vs. Goldust and Gangrel vs. Al Snow, seemed like they had been ripped straight from an episode of Sunday Night Heat. They were not PPV calibre.
Overall, Capital Carnage didn't live up to what One Night Only had achieved. If it had, perhaps the WWF might have promoted a second event of the same title later.
