The thread title says it all. There were forty "big four" PPVs in the decade, each year's Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. I am asking you guys which one you thought was the worst.
My pick is probably the last big four PPV of the decade - Survivor Series 2009. You had one match on the entire card with a good buildup, which was the one where Legacy members challenged black wrestlers (with Christian randomly thrown in). The other SS match was weak and randomly thrown together. The most repulsive thing however was that BOTH world titles were defended in triple threat matches...with TAG TEAMS in both of them. What sense does it make to have three faces (Cena, HHH and HBK) in one title match? They could have just as easily had DX face Jeri-Show for the tag team titles, and had Cena defend the title against somebody different (such as Sheamus who was getting hot at the time). That would have left CM Punk to get a shot at Taker's title, perhaps in a street fight.
It was just such an uninspired pay per view and it's no wonder why Vince wanted to scrap the PPV concept after that. But what do you guys think?
