10 Worst-Attended WWE PPVs Of All Time
Not many fans turned up for these WWE PPVs
What would a WWE live event be without a large crowd? Well, just ask anyone who was at these shows, as they were all attended by fewer than 6,500 fans.
Don’t expect to see any NXT shows or those old WWE Network specials on this list, as we’re only counting proper main roster WWE events and that one ECW pay-per-view.
We’re also not counting the two Beware of Dog shows, because those were affected by a power outage and we felt like it was unfair to include them. Also, there were two different shows and it got too convoluted, so we chickened out. Nothing from the COVID-19 pandemic will be included either.
These are the 10 Worst-Attended WWE Pay-Per-Views of All Time.
10. In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks - 6,482
The In Your House shows weren’t always the best when it came to drawing crowds.
Initially designed as cut-price stopgaps between the big four/five shows, the first In Your House premiered on May 14, 1995 with just 7,000 people in attendance. By the time the second show came around in July, about 500 of those people had gone “Nah, can’t be bothered.”
In Your House 2 - retroactively titled “The Lumberjacks” - drew just 6,482 people to Nashville, Tennessee's Municipal Auditorium. In comparison, WCW held Starrcade there later that same year in front of 8,200 fans.
It’s not like WWE were offering a Starrcade-level experience with their show. Bam Bam Bigelow vs Henry Godwinn. The Roadie vs The 1-2-3 Kid. Men on a Mission vs Razor Ramon and Savio Vega… you can see why they struggled.
1995 is known as a very bad year for WWE in terms of business and this show can act as a microcosm of that larger issue.
Fans just weren’t that interested in what the company had to offer, so they kept their hands firmly in their pockets.
