Best & Worst: PPV Names

When you stop and think about it, every wrestling show that is broadcast is likely someone’s very first experience of that company, or the wrestling industry as a whole. As such, you need to make a strong first impression, and the first thing a new viewer would see is the name of the show. A strong event name can set off imagery in the person’s head, giving them an idea of what to expect, while a lackluster name can make someone actively disinterested in tuning in. Today, we’re going to look at some of the Best and Worst pay-per-view (or special event) names of all time.

It’s worth noting that I’m purely judging these based off the name of the show, and not the wrestling that transpired on said show. As always, this is entirely my opinion, so feel free to share yours with me on Twitter!
