WWF New Generation Vs WWE In 2020: Which Was Worse?
11. Pay-Per-Views
With weekly television often borderline unwatchable (more on that elsewhere) in 2020, WWE were beholden to their monthly network specials to shine a more positive light on their stacked and ultra-talented roster.
And most of the time, they managed it. There's an argument to made that the lows trumped the highs thanks to some of the criminally pathetic cinematic offerings after WrestleMania's success stories, but the company boasted a better-than-average hit rate across the year. More shows were good than bad, which wasn't particularly the case even at the peak of the New Generation.
Every monthly event in 1995 promoted at least one Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels match, but the company icons couldn't always save shows bogged down by gimmicks that weren't over, or storylines that hadn't connected. In-ring quality fluctuated wildly back then too. Today it can be consistent to a fault, but 95% of the roster could wrestle matches in their sleep better than King Mabel could wide awake.
