Ranking 2015's WWE PPV Endings From Worst To Best
What left us wanting more, and what left us mad as hell...
2015 has almost drawn to a close, and no matter how one looks at the past twelve months, they weren't a point of pride for WWE. Ratings have tanked, fan interest has reached new lows, and the company's repeated attempts to build new stars (or, more accurately, one single new star) haven't taken. At best, the year will go down as a failure for the company, and at worst, it'll be remembered as the beginning of the end for a wrestling promotion too stubborn to evolve. In the end, WWE's greatest sin in 2015 was simply not giving the fans what they wanted. Booking wrestling properly is more about listening to an audience than manipulating them, and as the gulf between what Vince McMahon wants and what his customers want has grown larger than ever, his stubborn grasp on the latter method has become more obvious than ever. The WWE chairman will have his concept of pro wrestling recognized as the right one, damn it, or kill his company trying. McMahon's obstinance and lack of vision never become more evident than at Pay-Per-View (or "special") events, when he charges his fanbase money to watch how storylines will progress. Though the three-hour editions of Raw are boring and draining, it's the Pay-Per-Views - especially their endings - that point out the direction in which the company is heading and reveal just what WWE wants its fans to embrace for the next month. Needless to say, those shows and their endings have been largely uninspired during the year. With all 13 of 2015's WWE PPV events now in the books, here's a ranking of their conclusions from worst to best:
