Ranking Every WWE UK PPV Ever

The WWE have always had a good relationship with their fans in the United Kingdom. Their neighbours from across the pond have possibly the biggest fanbase outside of North America and it's always a special occasion whenever they visit one of Britain's major cities.

Nowadays, those shows are mostly taped episodes of Raw or SmackDown, an NXT house show, or the odd live event. These trips for the WWE have become a bi-annual event giving fans the opportunity to see their favourite superstars perform in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and beyond. It also gives wrestlers the chance to visit local football clubs and look awkward when they try to act like they know what they're talking about.

For older fans, this is a new experience. Between 1997 and 2003 (and one small show they did in 1992, which you might have heard of) WWE wouldn't treat fans to a Raw or a SmackDown. No, they would put on a UK only PPV, which was treated like a big event. Except it wasn't. Even though you had to fork out £15 to purchase it on Sky Box Office, you knew deep down that all you were getting was a glorified house show.

Most of these PPVs were pretty bad, chock-full of average matches with meaningless results. However, even the worst of those shows did have at least one good match on there making it seem somewhat worthwhile. With the WWE about to embark on a new trip around the UK, let's take a look back at those PPVs and determine which was the worst and the best.

This was the first of two No Mercy's that the WWE put on in 1999 and it was easily the worst. Taking place at the Manchester Evening News Arena on May 16th, this show was dogged by a persistent stream of run-ins that ruin nearly every match.

The Corporate Ministry storyline was in full swing at this point and the super faction are involved in five of the eight matches on the card. The main event, a Triple Threat between Steve Austin, Triple H, and The Undertaker petered out into nothingness, whilst Jim Ross tried his best to sound interested on commentary.

Possibly the only notable thing to happen on this show was in the women's match between Tori and Nicole Bass. Sable was originally supposed to compete but drafted in Bass as a substitute. Due to backstage differences, this would be Sable's last appearance on WWE television until 2003. You see, even the worst shows have something mildly significant occur on them.
