@zanethind Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) was 11,824 days old for this show. He would later die on 8/24. 8/24 is 322 days after the anniversary of the show. "The Fiend" = 322. "Sacramento California" = 1322. Think about Skull and Crossbones...
Only Vince’s booking could ruin the company’s top face, top heel, most compelling gimmick, a world heavyweight title match on PPV and one of the most famous match stipulations ever made all in one shot
@@eLite-Tiss91I gotta ask, what’s the point of this comment? Nobody even mentioned AEW, but you’re also saying that it was Vince’s booking that made AEW look good in comparison, not anything that they actually did as a company.
8:23 wrong, wrong WRONG WRONG WRONG! The stipulation was, as hinted by Paul Heyman, if Undertaker didn't do the right thing (which was throw to the Dudleyz) he would bury Bearer in cement. Not if the Undertaker LOST. Undertaker won, stopped the Cement himself, but pulled the lever to kill Bearer anyway
Correct. Heyman was going to bury Bearer in cement, but the Undertaker used his newly-regained supernatural powers to shoot a lightning bolt at Heyman.
If shit didn't happen with the Vince allegations, TKO Merge, and the Final Boss turn, the ending to 39 and waiting til 40 would have been so significantly worse and NOT worth the wait.
I feel bad for Roman back then for winning the Rumble. It was Vinces fault, but seeing Roman keep smiling but his Eyes showing his discomford in this Situation... it just hurts. Glad to see how beloved he is today. Dude earned it
It didn’t help the fact that the company did a pitiful job with Roman’s booking prior to his controversial win at the 2015 rumble whether if it was the fact that he clearly was nowhere near ready to be as pushed as fast as he was, his boring character work and the god-awful promos he was given.
Yes it was way too early for Roman to get this big spot. Fans just started to accept him during his hiatous because of his illness. But we give him that he never gave up so his spot nowadays is indeed earned.🎉
It was the fans fault for being dumb enough to think that Daniel Bryan should have won and even dumber to think he would have gone over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 when that wasn't even close to being realistic
@@yomamasofat77 as much as we all love Batista he was just a victim of bad booking and bad timing during his return 2014. I’m pretty sure Batista himself made it clear that he didn’t even want to win the royal rumble nor did he even wanted to come back as a babyface.
My honorable mentions: 1. Wrestlemania 2000 (Even though it was great to see The Rock hit Rock Bottoms on all of the McMahons, including Stephanie) 2. Summerslam 1993 (Lex Luger defeated WWF Champion Yokozuna by count out but still had balloons and confetti falling as if he did win the title) 3. Money in the Bank 2019 (Brock Lesnar out of nowhere runs down to the ring as Mustafa Ali was about to retrieve the briefcase, knocks Ali off, and climbs the ladder to retrieve the briefcase and win while the other competitors were killing each other in that match.) 4. Wrestlemania 34 (No matter who won between Brock and Roman, fans were going to jeer and boo anyway)
Hell In A Cell 2019 just proved that Vince did not care about the product anymore, he was getting more and more senile with his ridiculous booking to the point it made the product unwatchable.
The worst part of the 2018 Hell in a Cell is that whatever spot that took Roman and Braun down took them out for like 8 minutes to allow the Ziggles/McIntyre vs Ambrose/Rollins mini match to take place outside the cell. Then after those four had finished that's when Lesnar's music hits and we saw Roman and Braun had been laying around the entire time.
Dishonorable mention to royal rumble 2022 for being a really boring rumble (tag team rumble) and having a boring winner. Making a rumble boring in the modern age is criminal.
I've honestly found the last few Rumbles boring. Which is just a shame really as it was always the match I most looked forward too in the year. Its now just full of the exact same spots every year, usually atleadt a few surprise entrants that go nowhere and have no real point to them and usually also just have a very predictable and telegraphed winner.
I hate to keep bringing this up, but I keep hearing this, and it's annoying that everyone gets it wrong. HIAC 2019 didn't end in a disqualification. It was a ref stoppage. The referee didn't disqualify Seth Rollins, he stopped the match out of fear for Bray's safety. Kevin Owens won the NXT Title the same way. I'm not saying it was a good match or a good idea, it wasn't, but it wasn't a DQ.
I was at the 2015 Royal Rumble. I'll never forget the eerie silence when Dean Ambrose got eliminated, followed by the loudest boos I've ever heard because we all collectively realized our worst nightmare was about to come true
Nothing against Miz but in my personal opinion, he never had any business being in the main event of WrestleMania. Never really saw him as a main event caliber talent. The midcard is where it’s at for him.
It was Goldbergs fault for the Summerslam 03 finish. Triple H was going to drop it to him, but there was a tour of Australia after Sslam and Vince wanted a champion on a rare Australian show. Goldberg didn't want to travel, so that's why it went down like that.
I remember the great American bash ending legit cried because I thought undertaker had killed Paul bear. My mom held me for almost 2 hours because I had cried.
That match was the final straw, went from watching every ppv for decades, to completely stopped watching wrestling for a few years after that, the late 2010s were fucking awful
It is indeed the dumbest ending to a PPV/PLE. The whole point of Hell In A Cell is that there are no DQ's. So to end a DQ-less match with a DQ defeats the whole purpose of the match. It was obvious to everyone that they had booked themselves into a corner with that match. They didn't want Seth to lose the belt, but they also didn't want to undermind their big spooky Fiend character and have him come out of the match looking weak. They could have found a way to book the match to achieve both, but the timing of the storyline was incredibly unfortunate with HIAC as their next big show. They were backed into a corner, and the only way out that they could come up with was the worst one. It was one of those trainwrecks that they should've seen coming, but somehow they didn't. They only realized it until after both trains were on the same track and chugging toward each other, and they had no choice but to watch helplessly as the disaster happened.
Backlash 2018 is another one. When fans realized that Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns were main eventing the show, they decided to tune out and walk out of the arena mid match.
I really loved the ending of WM9 as a huge Fan of the Hulkster back in the days. And most of the Fans also liked the ending. So I can't understand why it's even up here.😅 If the only reason a ppv finally is bad, because of an unexpected ending than all of this is bullshxt.😂 So leave the classics out of this list, there have been way more worst endings than wm9.
@@sgefrascz8123 That ending made zero sense and it invalidated the entire "New Generation" thing. On the night, casual fans liked it, but given what it led to (which was pretty much Hulk spitting on the belt in Japan), it really was a bad idea in hindsight. Hogan should have won the tag belts with Brutus instead.
Notice how most of theses happened in the 2010's.... And i just watch the Royal Rumble again this year notice how the top 6 of that Rumble are bigger names now...compared to 2010's one and done
The Goldberg Summerslam I think has always been overhated. He ran through 4 other guys who are all considered legends now basically like nothing. And essentially beat himself by spearing a sledgehammer (which honestly made more physical sense then Brets hidden armor plate in WCW) with no one getting any real offense on him. The followup was a more then a bit fumbled of course, but the EC itself was a decent enough way to extend the story.
Bray and Vince never meshed well unfortunately. No idea what Vince had against the guy, but Cena absolutely burying him during their half year feud is probably a good place to look. Vince always sided with his picked golden geese and the ones that abused that status and politicked with it definitely have a pattern no matter the era. Their opponents rarely ever got to climb back up the card and if they did, they were never utilized or booked properly. Bray found a way to rebound with The Fiend, Vince never understood The Fiend, they clashed over how to use and book The Fiend. The persona was simply used far too much, which I assume is a Vince decision based on merchandise sales. Bray seemed to want The Fiend to be more of special attraction, like Finn Balor and The Demon. Vince wanted the merchandise sales, plus more Fiend meant less Bray promo time in the grand scheme of things. I very well could be connecting dots that don't exist or looking far too much into it, but we do know that the two of them could never agree on a lot of things.
As if anything Hogan was involved in didn't involve his ego lol. This is the same guy that tried to politic Undertaker out of the game all because of his rising popularity.
The idea that Summer Slam 2003 had a bad ending really needs to die. It was an Elimination Chamber match where Goldberg eliminated three main event wrestlers in little over three minutes. Evolution was still in its early days and their aura of success was highly dependent on Triple H being the top heel. And WWE were supposed to have four of their biggest stars, including their top heel, get squashed by Goldberg in less than six minutes? Triple H was only 34, in the prime of his career and he needed to be brushed aside for a man whose career peaked in 1998 and couldn’t work a competitive match? What was Goldberg even going to do after winning that Elimination Chamber? He would have just buried every potential opponent he had for the remainder of the year. Having him lose in a multi man match, following interference was the best way to end his streak without diminishing him and yes that streak needed to be broken. Booking him in three minute squash matches worked when he was starting out. That strategy was NEVER going to translate into a long term main event run. Everyone wanted a dream match with Austin, was Stone Cold going to lay down after five moves? Hell no. The viewers already voted with their remotes in 2000 that Triple H was more must-see than Goldberg. Summer Slam 2003 was exactly the right call. Triple H should have dropped the belt to Booker T that year and no one else.
Yeah, The Rock definitely wasn't happy about getting booed while playing a hard line Babyface along with his cousin. But that's just what happens when fans see another Super Cena in the making
I was in the crowd for Hell in a cell 2019. We all had such high hopes for the main event after the excellent opening match. We booed Seth because he had become a WWE bootlicker who brags about how much money he makes.
My Worst WWE/WWF PPV endings are as follows, Over the Edge 1999, Summerslam 2016, Wrestlemania 2000, Wrestlemania 39, Crown Jewel 2018, Royal Rumble 2022, Money in the Bank 2019, TLC 2014, Wrestlemania 34, No Mercy 2003 & Super Showdown 2019. (Looking Forward to a 10 Best WWE PPV Endings list in the Future).
As always, Cultaholic gets it wrong. the GAB 2004 main event was that if Taker WON Heyman would bury Bearer in concrete. The idea was that Heyman wanted to force Taker to do something he could never do, surrender.
WM9's ending was great at the time. Hogan was still #1 and it got the belt on him. It was also a shock to people tuning in Monday night. There was no internet so the only way to see what happened was to order the encore.
Oh please, that excuse why Goldberg lost the elimination chamber match, is precisely why Goldberg should've won. Vince can be a stubborn mule. Which is why, i stopped! watching wrestling years ago. I just got so fed up with all the bs.
Yeah. The only way a double knockout might make sense inside Hell-in-a-Cell is if both competitors are passed out, their faces gushing blood, and are fading due from excess loss and can't continue anymore. Both beaten a pulp so bad and bleeding, neither can even answer a twenty count at least.
I was at HIAC 2018, as Brock was walking towards the ring we were getting texts from friends that the show on the network had already ended. Such a mockery of the most dangerous match to have the participants taken out like that
The ending of WrestleMania 9 was amazing and saved the whole ppv plus the pop was insane. Anyone that says otherwise is ignorant to the fact or just plain lying.
39 was the first time I had a visceral reaction to wrestling in a long time. Was watching it in discord with a buddy and i was like, I gotta walk away for a bit.
I've been trying to forget about that 2019 HIAC main event ending. Sacramento's WWE fans turned on that match and rightly so. Don't even get me started on how WrestleMania IX ended.
I was an attitude era fan and stop watching in 2002. In 2019, I decided to give WWE a chance as an adult. I ordered HIAC 2019 and the main event was SHOCKING to me. Ended and I was so confused
Battleground 2013 also featured a planned power outage in order to make that ending happen, as it was shown to make the match run over their time and just cut off the show.
Marc Mero was accompanied by Sable the last time I attended a wwf event. And that’s absolutely fine by me. I haven’t even watched a minute of the garbage in nearly 20 years
I was at GAB 2004 (not bragging) and, while not on the same level, the reaction to JBL winning was akin to the streak ending. It vacuumed the air out of the building.
Royal rumble 2004. Although it wasnt the main event due to the battle royal being the main event, but it still left a sour taste in our mouths when triple h and shawn micheals tied in the last man standing match
The worst thing about 2019 HIAC is that they could have done the same ending but INSTEAD of calling it a DQ they could just said the referee DECIDED TO END THE MATCH lmao
Summerslam 2003: A guy with the Iron Cross on his trunks bloodied a Jew inside a Chamber. It seemed like Triple H tried to top his controversial storyline with Booker T 5 months earlier.
2019 Hell in a Cell is probably Vince’s most unforgivable booking mistake. Ruined the Fiend’s momentum and Seth’s baby face run in one match. Seth had to reinvent himself multiple times to recover from this and Bray ended up getting released not even 2 years later. It was so awful all around.
My favorite part about HIAC 2019 was X-PAC saying “How the hell do you get DQ’ed inside a Hell in a freaking Cell?”
A true question, an even more iconic line
And every single one of us was thinking the EXACT same thing.

My Worst WWE/WWF PPV endings are as follows, Over the Edge 1999, Summerslam 2016, Wrestlemania 2000, Wrestlemania 39, Crown Jewel 2018, Royal Rumble 2022, Money in the Bank 2019, TLC 2014, Wrestlemania 34, No Mercy 2003 & Super Showdown 2019. (Looking Forward to a 10 Best WWE PPV Endings list in the Future).
These videos are fun but the great American bash one was important for taker in his career and writing off bearer. It was actually a great finish
As always, Cultaholic gets it wrong. the GAB 2004 main event was that if Taker WON Heyman would bury Bearer in concrete. The idea was that Heyman wanted to force Taker to do something he could never do, surrender.
Nice thumbnail. I actually can't believe WM9 isn't at the end. I always heard people say it was the worst.
“December to Dismember pretty much put an end to the ECW reboot experiment” 🤔 yeah they were only around another 2-3 years
Another fact about HIAC 2019: it was on the same week as AEW Dynamite premiered
That segment with Goldust and Goldberg was hilarious
You take that back, Sir. WrestleMania 9 is a all time guilty pleasure Classic
WM9's ending was great at the time. Hogan was still #1 and it got the belt on him. It was also a shock to people tuning in Monday night. There was no internet so the only way to see what happened was to order the encore.
But this was 1993 and he was not played out 😊
Brock interrupted Hell In A Cell, Brock joining the MITB and Fiend vs Rollins Cell match comes to mind
I came in to this list ready for Battleground 2013 to be near the top.
I've forgotten much it seems.
Only good thing happened in that PPV is the Shield vs Rhodes Brothers match.
Oh please, that excuse why Goldberg lost the elimination chamber match, is precisely why Goldberg should've won. Vince can be a stubborn mule. Which is why, i stopped! watching wrestling years ago. I just got so fed up with all the bs.
I was there live for HIAC! I’ve never been more upset over an ending.
Yeah. The only way a double knockout might make sense inside Hell-in-a-Cell is if both competitors are passed out, their faces gushing blood, and are fading due from excess loss and can't continue anymore. Both beaten a pulp so bad and bleeding, neither can even answer a twenty count at least.
How did Hogan make it all about himself? Vince McMahon was the one making the decisions.
Yeah, but all Hulk had to say to Vince was, "That doesn't work for me, brother."
I was at HIAC 2018, as Brock was walking towards the ring we were getting texts from friends that the show on the network had already ended. Such a mockery of the most dangerous match to have the participants taken out like that
The ending of WrestleMania 9 was amazing and saved the whole ppv plus the pop was insane. Anyone that says otherwise is ignorant to the fact or just plain lying.
39 was the first time I had a visceral reaction to wrestling in a long time. Was watching it in discord with a buddy and i was like, I gotta walk away for a bit.
The Great American Bash 2004, I was at that show
I've been trying to forget about that 2019 HIAC main event ending. Sacramento's WWE fans turned on that match and rightly so. Don't even get me started on how WrestleMania IX ended.
I was in the crowd for one of the worst ever: SummerSlam 1993
Actually Paul bearer was gonna be in cement if undertaker won he was supposed "to do the right thing and lay down"
Honorable mention- Super Showdown 2020.
I was an attitude era fan and stop watching in 2002. In 2019, I decided to give WWE a chance as an adult.
I ordered HIAC 2019 and the main event was SHOCKING to me.
Ended and I was so confused
Hardly surprising that the likes of December To Dismember & the 2014 & 2015 Royal Rumbles made the list
Top 10 most common 1v1 matchups (superstars against each other)
Battleground 2013 also featured a planned power outage in order to make that ending happen, as it was shown to make the match run over their time and just cut off the show.
Marc Mero was accompanied by Sable the last time I attended a wwf event. And that’s absolutely fine by me. I haven’t even watched a minute of the garbage in nearly 20 years
Cultaholic Can You Do Worst WCW PPV Endings.
Narrowing that down to 10 would be a challenge
I was at GAB 2004 (not bragging) and, while not on the same level, the reaction to JBL winning was akin to the streak ending. It vacuumed the air out of the building.
Royal rumble 2004. Although it wasnt the main event due to the battle royal being the main event, but it still left a sour taste in our mouths when triple h and shawn micheals tied in the last man standing match
Literally I thought of HIAC 2019 the minute I saw the thumbnail
Why is no saudi arabia ppv on this list?? They had some of the worst endings (Goldberg title wins). 😮
Yeah, that Rollins/Fiend Cell match is going to be tough to top on the wtf scale as far as PPV endings go.
The worst thing about 2019 HIAC is that they could have done the same ending but INSTEAD of calling it a DQ they could just said the referee DECIDED TO END THE MATCH lmao
Jesus, the Reigns v Strowman match makes me glad I was pretty checked out at that time lol
I sometimes wonder what could be if streaming where a thing when ECW was still its own company.
Was expecting the Summer Slam 2010 to be here.
Summerslam 2003: A guy with the Iron Cross on his trunks bloodied a Jew inside a Chamber. It seemed like Triple H tried to top his controversial storyline with Booker T 5 months earlier.
Wrestlemania 17 and Invasion. Both were pretty much identical in an ending that pissed off the fans
I don't remember being upset at the wrestlemania 9 ending or the show. I think we were too young and with no internet to know any better, though! Lol
MITB 2019 would be an honorable mention
2019 Hell in a Cell is probably Vince’s most unforgivable booking mistake. Ruined the Fiend’s momentum and Seth’s baby face run in one match. Seth had to reinvent himself multiple times to recover from this and Bray ended up getting released not even 2 years later. It was so awful all around.
