10 Worst WWE Pay-Per-Views Ever

7. In Your House: D-Generation X

Less than a month after the infamous Montreal Screwjob went down at the 1997 Survivor Series, WWE decided they were all-in with D-Generation X, presenting an In Your House pay-per-view named after the nefarious ne'er-do-wells. 

Naturally, the group's leader Shawn Michaels received top billing, defending his WWE Title against Ken Shamrock. 

A unique styles clash on paper, in practice it was a bit of a mess. The Heartbreak Kid may have been one of the best workers in the world at that point and capable of carrying less experience opponents, but they never gelled and there were a few very noticeable awkward moments. 

The DQ finish also sullied things somewhat and, while Owen Hart's shocking post-match return was intriguing, it ultimately didn't lead to the expected programme between him and HBK, so felt flat in retrospect. 

Michaels' DX buddy Triple H was in the second-longest match on the show, a never-ending Boot Camp slog with Sergeant Slaughter, which just dragged on and on and on. 

And on. 

Sarge is great, obviously, but he was some years past his best by this point, and it showed. 

The Undertaker beat the tar out of a returning Jeff Jarrett, their match ending when Kane ran in.

Steve Austin and The Rock's Intercontinental Title bout was good for the five or so minutes it lasted, and you could tell they had chemistry even then, but it was a far cry from the Rock/Austin epics of later years. 

The Legion of Doom versus New Age Outlaws Tag Team Title match showed how weak the doubles scene was at this point. The work was shoddy and it had another bad finish, too. 

Elsewhere, Marc Mero and freakshow boxer Butterbean had a worked (and unentertaining) Toughman Contest, Los Boriquas and the Disciples of Apocalypse met for seemingly the hundredth time and Taka Michinoku captured the vacant Light Heavyweight Title by beating Brian Christopher in the opener.
