32 WTF Moments From WWE Battleground

26. The Crappy, 300-Style Opening Promo

The proper Battleground PPV kicked off with a ridiculous opening promo, styled to resemble something like the movie 300, with soldiers attacking one another in slow-motion on a CGI-laden battlefield, overlaid with cheesy British narration and intercut with clips of the various wrestlers fighting on the show. The promo ended with a CGI mountain, atop which sat images of various wrestlers and, of course, the Battleground logo. It looked like the sort of goofy shtick the WWE attempted a lot in the 1990s, not something you'd expect to see nowadays. Just horrible.
