5 unpopular WWE PPV titles that make Stomping Grounds look good!

#2 Over the Limit

Logo for WWE Over the Limit

Next up we have WWE Over the Limit. A name is supposed to put emphasis on speed and going beyond that limitations. Okay, maybe I am being too literal but what else would you expect from the WWE with a name like this? Nowadays, this would be a great name if the WWE were to a hold a show featuring the roster of 205 Live, or even combining the talents of 205 Live with NXT for one night only.

Anyway, let's talk about the shows themselves. The WWE held approximately three Over the Limit events starting in 2010 through 2012. The shows were met relatively negative reviews. The 2010 show, for instance, drew in 197,000 buys, with an estimated 11,000 in attendance.

The show was criticized severely for the bad endings and stoppage of matches for any type of blood. The "I Quit" match was meant to be a signature match used solely for these shows, yet was only used for the first two events and was discarded in the 2012 show.

The event was generally regarded as one of the worst shows of all-time, even considered to be one of the oddballs of the PPV lineup. While the show would get noticeably better from year to year, this was one event that WWE could have done without.

The name made no sense whatsoever. Given what the event had for the signature match type as the main draw for the 2010 and 2011 showings, I would rather have seen the WWE go back to using "Breaking Point" as the PPV name rather than this hot garbage.

Nevertheless, this was during an awkward time for WWE during the height of the "PG Era", typically with John Cena at the helm and the company pushing the family friendly environment to its fullest.
