WWE's 12 Fails Of Christmas
1. ECW December To Dismember 2006
The event has been the subject of multiple pieces on this site and others, and will go down not just as a weak December show, but as a complete embarrassment for the company.
Rather than deconstruct every single awful moment on the show (a Top 10/12/50 list in itself), it seems easiest to take a shot at the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and all that traveled in a vessel of such spectacular failure.
The match broke records in reverse fan-service. Opening with a disparate Paul Heyman promo spoken with one leg out the company, the match devalued the chamber itself with awkward weapons, angered the crowd with a late substitution of Bob Holly for Sabu, buried the only two over babyfaces on the show with Rob Van Dam eliminating true diamond in the rough CM Punk first (ending his undefeated streak and putting his bullet in his momentum), and gave Bobby Lashley the worst possible start as new ECW Champion.
It is an absolute catastrophe. An utter debacle that genuinely does have to be seen to be believed. Treat yourself to an early Christmas present and watch it on the WWE Network. By today's Pay-Per-View standards, the 1 hour 50 minute run-time for the entire show is a gift in itself.
