5 times smaller WWE PPVs have exceeded expectations

When everyone is at their best, it’s amazing how great a PPV can be

#2 Vengence 2003

The Smackdown stars would not be outshined

Raw's Bad Blood pay-per-view in June 2003 was considered by many to be terrible, and with names such as Vince McMahon, Zach Gowen, Sable, Big Show and an APA Invitational Bar Room Brawl slated for July's SmackDown-only Vengeance event, there were doubts and concerns surrounding the quality of the show.

All those doubts ended up being slated as soon as the pyro had finished for the opening of the event. The Smackdown superstars pulled out all stops and gave us an entertaining show.

In his first pay-per-view match since undergoing neck surgery, Kurt Angle returned to the ring to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE title in a triple threat match that also involved Big Show. Many were worried about Angles condition but thankfully the match played out very well.

Zach Gowen competed in a match against Vince McMahon that was better than it had any right to be and Stephanie took on her father's latest mistress Sable in a wild catfight. Oh and let’s not forget that The World's Greatest Tag Team defended the WWE tag titles against Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman in a brilliantly put together tag team match.
