Rants

The PPV beyond

By Scott Keith on 14 September 2019

After reading your review of the show, it took me back to when I watched it live back in 92. The show was horrible up until the last 3 matches. Can you recall a PPV that was absolutely horrible from beginning but the
last 3 or 2 matches saved it from being the worst ever?

Plus I have to rewatch the Steiner match because I had no idea the iron claw guy from njpw was the man in pink getting his ass beat. What was up with that anyway?
He had fingers made of IRON. What's not to understand?
As for the original question, yes, many many many shows are like that. The WWF used to specialize in it back in the Attitude Era. Basically pick a major PPV headlined by Shawn Michaels out of a hat and there you go. But Revenge of the Taker is one notable case (not headlined by Shawn, but still terrible until the co-mains).
