WWE held its first-ever PPV in 1985, which was WrestleMania 1. Since then, WWE kept adding more PPVs to its calendar, and continues to hold several PPVs. We see various storylines on the weekly shows, which culminate on different PPVs.

While the WWE PPVs are generally exciting to see, the company can be very inconsistent at times. As a result, we see some bad PPVs as well. Let's take a look at both the best and the worst PPVs from each of the five decades WWE has been producing PPV events.

10 Best Of The 1980s: Survivor Series 1987

Survivor Series 1987 was the first edition of Survivor Series, and it emerged as the best PPV of the 1980s decade, which as previously mentioned, was the decade when WWE first started hosting PPVs.

The show had four matches, and each match was a Ten Man Tag Team Survivor Series Elimination Match. The show got progressively better with each match offering something different, shaping up an overall fun and enjoyable event.

9 Worst Of The 1980s: WrestleMania 4

WrestleMania has always been the biggest show of WWE's calendar, and is even sometimes WWE's best show of the year. However, the first few WrestleManias were pretty bad, and WrestleMania 4 was the worst of them, also making it the worst PPV from the 1980s decade. The main focus of this 'Mania was the tournament for the vacant WWE Title.

We got a total of 16 matches during the event, which was just way too much. Due to this amount, none of the matches got enough time to get to the next level, and as a result, none of the matches from the event is memorable. Randy Savage winning the WWE Title was a great moment, but not enough to save this disaster.

8 Best Of The 1990s: In Your House: Canadian Stampede 1997

If you're looking for the definition of perfection, look no further than the Canadian Stampede event. Held in 1997, the PPV featured four matches, and all of them banged. The show opened with Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Mankind continuing their interesting feud, and delivered another cool match. Light Heavyweight stars Taka Michinoku and The Great Sasuke also had a fast-paced enjoyable encounter, and stole the show, followed by a hard-hitting WWE Title contest between The Undertaker and Vader.

The best part of the show was still yet to come, as we saw one of the best multi-man tag team matches ever. The Hart Foundation took on a team led by Steve Austin. The Calgary crowd was heavily in favor of The Hart Foundation, and the environment made the match even better. The Hart Foundation won the match to provide the perfect closure to the great PPV.

7 Worst Of The 1990s: King Of The Ring 1995

The quality of WWE shows dipped heavily in the year 1995, and it's not surprising that the worst PPV from the '90s comes from that year. King of the Ring 1995 had an awful King of the Ring tournament, perhaps the worst ever.

The winner of the tournament was Mabel, who was literally the worst option WWE could've gone with. Bret Hart also had a rare bad match against Jerry Lawler, in a "Kiss My Foot Match". The main event tag team match, where Bam Bam Bigelow teamed up with Diesel to face Sycho Sid & Tatanka was below average, and a bad choice to end the show.

6 Best Of The 2000s: WrestleMania 17

WrestleMania 17 is widely recognized as the best WrestleMania ever. However, it's not just the best 'Mania, it is in fact among the best PPVs in the entire history of pro wrestling. The show was pretty much perfect, and the few bad matches on the event were too short to cause any major impact on the quality.

The main event between Steve Austin and The Rock was a legendary battle, and featured the heel turn of Austin. Apart from that, the card was loaded with other epic encounters too, such as Triple H vs. The Undertaker, Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon, and the famous three-way TLC match between The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz, and Edge & Christian.

5 Worst Of The 2000s: December To Dismember 2006

December to Dismember was the first and only ECW exclusive PPV to be held in WWE after the official debut of the ECW brand in the summer of 2006. The main event of the show was the Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the ECW Championship. The match wasn't impressive at all, and Bobby Lashley being the winner wasn't the best decision.

There was only one good match on the card, which was the opener featuring The Hardy Boyz and MNM in a tag team match. Other than that, every other match was horrendous, even worse than the Chamber match. After the huge failure of this event, WWE never bothered to have another ECW exclusive PPV.

4 Best Of The 2010s: Money In The Bank 2011

Money in the Bank PPVs have usually been of high quality, due to the entertaining Money in the Bank ladder matches. The 2011 edition of the PPV happens to be the best among all, and also the best PPV of the 2010s decade. Every match on the show was good, and offered something. Both the MITB ladder matches were highly entertaining, with deserving winners in Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio.

Randy Orton and Christian continued their streak of having good matches, with yet another great encounter. And to top it all off, CM Punk and John Cena had one of the most memorable wrestling matches of all time. The story, the drama, and the in-ring action were all high quality, and ensured the show ended on a perfect note.

3 Worst Of The 2010s: Super ShowDown 2019

The WWE shows held in Saudi Arabia are usually not up to the mark, as they cater to a very specific audience and feel somewhat different from all the other events. Thus, it isn't a surprise that a Saudi Arabia show is the worst PPV from the 2010s decade, which is the Super ShowDown event held in 2019.

The main event of the show was the infamous botchy encounter between Undertaker and Goldberg, which is considered by many as one of the worst wrestling matches ever. It featured other terrible matches such as Shane McMahon vs. Roman Reigns, and Lars Sullivan vs. Lucha House Party. The event did have a few decent matches such as HHH vs. Randy Orton, but the bad clearly outweighed the good here.

2 Best Of The 2020s (So Far): Clash At The Castle 2022

Clash at the Castle was held in Cardiff, Wales, and it marked WWE's first PPV in the United Kingdom since Insurrextion 2003. It proved to be a successful return for WWE, as it was a very good event, and has been the best WWE PPV in the 2020s decade so far.

In what was just the second match of the card, Gunther and Sheamus had an absolute classic of an Intercontinental Title match. Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle, and Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre for the Universal Title were two other great matches from the show, which elevated the event.

1 Worst Of The 2020s (So Far): Super ShowDown 2020

Once again, it is a Saudi Arabia PPV being the worst from the decade. Super ShowDown continued to be a horrendous show much like the year before. The show had only one good match, which was The Miz & Shane McMahon taking on The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. The rest of the card was absolutely horrible.

From the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet Match, to Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin, to Bayley vs. Naomi, nothing is worth watching. And to make things worse, in the main event, Goldberg defeated "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt to win the Universal Title. A part-timer squashing a hyped character made no sense, and left everyone disappointed. Furthermore, it broke Fiend's momentum completely, from which he could never recover.
