10 Worst WWE Pay-Per-Views Ever

8. Survivor Series 1999

WWE were on a real hot streak in late 1999 but, unfortunately, their pay-per-view output didn't always measure up to standards. 

That year's Survivor Series was certainly a noteworthy show, featuring historic debuts and major title changes, but it was far from good. 

One of the things that really rankled was the company's insistence on advertising Steve Austin for a WWE Title triple threat match with Triple H and The Rock, despite knowing far in advance that he was due to undergo neck surgery and wouldn't be able to perform as scheduled. 

So they shot the angle that had him getting run over by an unseen assailant in the parking lot, giving WWE a kayfabe reason to remove him from the main event, replacing him in it with Big Show, who went on to win the belt in a lame match.

It was a disappointing end to a disappointing show, the best match of which was, somewhat amazingly, Chyna and Chris Jericho's Intercontinental Title affair. 

Elsewhere, squeaky-clean Kurt Angle had his first proper WWE match, beating Shawn Stasiak in short order while fighting the 'boring' chants that his pure wrestling style attracted. 

Kane beat X-Pac in a rushed match which could have been good, given time. 

The New Age Outlaws downed Mankind and Al Snow to retain their Tag Team Titles in a sluggish match. 

And there were a bunch of traditional Survivor Series elimination tag bouts, none of which stood out or were remembered by the time the show went off the air. 

One of them, an eight-woman match (not under elimination rules), was actively terrible.
