9 Worst WCW Pay-Per-Views Of All Time

...Or the one with all the wasted talent.

Just to prove that WCW has always been capable of executing a bad Pay-Per-View, let's take a look back at all the ways the company misused their talent in 1991.

"Stunning" Steve Austin was put into a tag team Capture-the-Flag Scaffold match, which featured a whole lot of cautious shuffling on the precariously positioned platform, with almost no actual wrestling.

Razor Ramon was in his Diamond Studd phase wrestling a program with Tom Zenk. He looked way out of his element. DDP is relegated to manager duties.

Kevin Nash was wrestling as Oz - a Wizard of Oz-inspired character with magical powers - who'd been given a weirdly strong push for about a month leading up to the Bash. He lost to Ron Simmons.

Brian Pillman was pulling a Hulk Hogan/Mr. American ruse, wrestling in a mask and calling himself The Yellow Dog to work around the fact that he wasn't supposed to be in the company after losing a Loser Leaves WCW match to Barry Windham.

All in all, this is a great PPV to watch if you're curious to know whether it's possible to make obvious superstars-in-the-making look completely pitiful. Otherwise, stay far away.

Speaking of which...where was Ric Flair during all this? Well he'd been fired a couple of weeks prior over a contract dispute, a fact that displeased the majority of the audience who kept chanting "We Want Flair!".

But Flair was already on his way to WWE...with the WCW belt.

Yeah, that "WCW Championship" belt they present to Lex Luger at the end of the night? That's Dusty Rhodes' old Florida Championship Wrestling belt with a metal plate slapped overtop it.
