When thinking about the worst PPVs in WWE history, one that instantly brings a shudder to your spine is the 2006 December to Dismember event that ran under WWE's relaunched ECW banner.

Previously, December to Dismember was a 1995 event put on by the original ECW, and WWE decided to revisit that name to serve up a timely festive pay-per-view for the second coming of ECW. But much like said coming coming of ECW, the second coming of December to Dismember was an absolute disaster and is actually the lowest-selling WWE PPV of the pre-WWE Network era.

On the card that December 3, 2006 night we had:

- The Hardy Boyz defeating MNM

- Balls Mahoney defeating Matt Striker

- Elijah Burke & Sylvester Terkay defeating The F.B.I.

- Daivari defeating Tommy Dreamer

- Ariel & Kevin Thorn defeating Kelly Kelly & Mike Knox

- Bobby Lashley becoming ECW World Champion after winning an Elimination Chamber contest featuring Big Show, Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Test and Hardcore Holly

Reflecting back on this most awful of PPVs, then, let's take a look at what the stars of the 2006 December to Dismember are up to here in 2020.

By the time of December to Dismember, MNM had recently reunited after breaking up earlier in the year. That reunion didn't last long, with Joey Mercury released by WWE in March 2007.

Mercury would return to WWE in 2010 as a producer and briefly a member of CM Punk's Straight Edge Society, before a more regular on-screen role followed several years later as part of the Authority.

2017 saw Mercury released by WWE once more, and he was last seen working as a trainer, producer and writer for Ring of Honor - until a dispute there saw Mercury depart ROH towards the end of last year.
