10 Worst WWE PPV Endings Ever
WWE have ended some PPVs on an absolutely awful note
4. Great American Bash 2004
The 2004 Great American Bash did not have people celebrating WWE’s decision to revive the old WCW branding.
The undercard was stuffed with sub-house show-level filler like Mordecai vs. Hardcore Holly, Kenzo Suzuki vs. Billy Gunn and Luther Reigns vs. Charlie Haas, while Eddie Guerrero losing the WWE Title to JBL (in an admittedly solid Texas Bullrope Match) was a downer.
A good main event would have gone some way towards making up for this absolute shower. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
In the show-closing contest, The Undertaker defeated The Dudley Boys in a handicap ‘Concrete Crypt’ match. Per the pre-match stipulation, Paul Bearer would be encased in cement should The Deadman lose.
The Undertaker won the match and then pulled the lever to ostensibly kill off his manager anyway.
So, not only was the match itself a complete washout as far as in-ring action was concerned, but WWE reneged on their own stipulation and had the show go off the air with a character’s murder.
WWE later clarified that Bearer was not, in fact, dead, but had internal injuries and that we likely wouldn’t see him again.
