9 Worst WCW Pay-Per-Views Of All Time

In the ten years WCW put pay-per-views on the air, they managed to put together some pretty fantastic presentations. 

There's a reason they dominated WWE for the majority of the Monday Night Wars after all, and even though Eric Bischoff was known for giving away prime content for free on Monday nights, he could still produce a solid PPV when he wanted (and needed) to.

Unfortunately, even more of these events were absolute train-wrecks. 

WCW had stinkers as far back as 1991, though the majority of their bottom tier content came at the tail end of the company's run. The years 1999 and 2000 could generously be described as "The biggest string of clusterf**ks ever assembled".

Matches were thrown together willy nilly without any consideration put into building or paying off actual feuds, and stipulations were sprinkled liberally over the card to try to mask the fact that the bookers had no clue what they were doing.

And while some of these poorly-constructed PPVs at least had some redeeming qualities that made them watchable, the worst of the bunch are so thoroughly bad that it'd be impossible to sit through them a second time without passing out due to some combination of rage and boredom.

Want to play a not-so-fun game? See if you're able to sit through all of these abominations over a 10-day stretch. Bet'cha can't!

...Or the one where David Arquette ruined everything just by being there.

Heading into Slamboree 2000, David Arquette was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Just let that sink in for a moment. The 5' 10", 160 pound actor won the title and held it long enough to walk into a WCW PPV still wearing it around his waist.

So...strike one, Slamboree.

Everything leading up to that was pretty much standard, mixed bag stuff for WCW. The opening match was a botch fest, and then there was a hot mess of a hardcore match between the usually reliable Terry Funk and Norman Smiley.

But then Scott Steiner actually put on a match with Hugh Morris - excuse me, Hugh G. Rection...ugh - that was worth watching! And both Mike Awesome and Chris Kanyon looked pretty solid in their match, too.

Then, just when it looks like this turn out to be a halfway decent event, the ridiculous amount of interference starts to set in.

Roughly two-thirds of the matches had at least one person interfering. One of the few clean finishes, thankfully, was in the Sting vs. Vampiro match, which was the standout of the night. So, naturally, it was also the shortest of the night.

As for the actual main event, the triple threat cage match was honestly much better than it had any right to. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Arquette pretty much just stayed out of the way and let Jeff Jarrett and DDP go at it.

But then why involve that little bastard at all? Clearly the cross-promotional funding didn't help the company much in the long run.
