10 Worst WCW PPV Main Events In History
10 worst PPV main events in WCW history
6. Hollywood Hogan & Dennis Rodman vs. Diamond Dallas Page & Karl Malone - Bash At The Beach 1998
At the 1998 NBA Finals, Dennis Rodman’s Chicago Bulls took on Karl Malone’s Utah Jazz in one of the most famous series of matches in the sport’s history. WCW attempted to capitalise on this by booking the two stars in the main event of that year’s Bash at the Beach, only instead of a slam dunk, they hit the rim and sent the entire basket crashing to the floor instead.
Malone was paired up with Diamond Dallas Page, whilst Rodman once again teamed with Hogan. What could have been a simple match that masked the celebrities’ limited in-ring skills dragged on for an agonising 23 minutes, stuffed with a bunch of NWO interference that it just didn’t need.
Sure, Malone hit a couple of nice Diamond Cutters, but did anybody really need to see two non-wrestlers hog the main event for so long? Also, this was Hogan in 1998, so his working boots were all the way off by this point. It might have drawn some new eyes to the product, but those eyes would not have liked what they saw.
