10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
1. Triple H vs. Vladimir Kozlov - Survivor Series 2008
The WWE Title match at Survivor Series 2008 was supposed to see Triple H defending against Vladimir Kozlov and Jeff Hardy in a triple threat match.
That would have at least given it a two-thirds chance of being entertaining, but WWE ran an angle earlier in the day claiming that Jeff had been found ‘unconscious in his hotel stairway’ and was removed from the bout.
It thus became a bog-standard singles match between The Game and the Moscow Mauler and, well…
Triple H may have been a damn good worker capable of carrying subpar opponents but he wasn’t a miracle worker and their deathly dull match was rightly met with ‘USA’, ‘boring’ and ‘we want Hardy’ chants.
After 12 minutes of absolute dross, the excitement was upped as the SmackDown General Manager introduced a returning Edge to the mix, while the ultra-popular Charismatic Enigma provided a cameo at the finish.
Fans may remember the chaotic ending and surprise title change, but we reckon they’d have been actively trying to memoryhole Vladimir Kozlov being presented as a serious challenger in a WWE Title match on a major pay-per-view.
