iowanole 0 Posted July 22, 2018 In honor of Impacts PPV return (and hoping it’s decent), I wanted to start a thread for the worst PPV you’ve ever purchased. The reason I chose purchased instead of watched is because it always meant more to me when I put my hard earned money into purchasing one and then thinking “man, that was a waste of money!” My worst PPV purchase was AAA’s Triplemania from 2015. From the production snafu’s to the Villanos/Psycho Circus match, I was so over it by the time that the main event happened, I probably undervalued the Mysterio/Mitico match. I know there were some crappier ones during the WWF/WCW wars, but we used to have watch parties and it was more about getting together than really caring about the wrestling. What’s your worst PPV purchase? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,591 Posted July 22, 2018 Oh God, one Australian show Jeff Jarrett did before TNA. I bought it because Eddy was on it. I think a triple threat against Nicho and Juvi, maybe? Main event was a decent southern style Jarrett vs Brian Christopher match. The rest was beyond awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go2Sleep 1,404 Posted July 22, 2018 Not technically a ppv purchase, but I feel like my ticket buys for Lockdown 07 and WM 32 would've been better spent elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twiztor 785 Posted July 22, 2018 Great American Bash '98 probably. while not the worst event ever, i definitely got more selective after that one. seeing Macho Man lose two matches, knee injury or not, killed my interest in wcw. @Brian Fowler i ordered the first WWA event (Inception?) and enjoyed it for what it was. not sure if that's the same one or not.

Nope, this would be their second ppv. Was supposed to be Savage vs Jarrett, Randy pulled out like the day before and they didn't announce that until the start of the ppv broadcast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APO 277 Posted July 22, 2018 King of the Ring '99. First time I ever paid for a wrestling PPV with my own money and I got Kane/Show in a never-ending choke spot. I was barely holding on up til then, but holy shit was I bitter after that happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Meltzer 318 Posted July 22, 2018 Over the Edge 1999. Never watched WWF ppvs at the time and that is the one I purchase. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved the match as Pillman was always my favorite and it really showcased him. I just can't not think it would have been better though with Arn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem was with Sid being sloppy and nearly legit killing Brian Pillman even though the match was deliberately booked to allow Sting's team to lose without anyone having to submit. It all worked out in the end in the aftermath of the match (Sid was over as a monster heel and Pillman became the biggesty baby face in the company overnight) and no one was the wiser until later on, but wow. Sid was a fucking dangerous guy to be in the ring with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
