What's the most overbooked was a wrestler ever in ONE NIGHT?

[Mike the Executioner]

No Mercy 2007, where the WWE Championship changed hands three times in one night.

The late 2000s and early 2010s had several quick title reigns, but this was the epitome of that. John Cena was injured, so he was forced to vacate the title. Vince McMahon just gives the title to Randy Orton. Triple H comes out, challenges Orton to a match, and beats him to win the title.

Triple H already had a match with Umaga, so that match ended up being for the WWE Championship. Triple H wins and retains. Vince decides to put Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match against Orton for the title. Had Cena not been injured, it would have been him in this spot against Orton. Orton beats Triple H and wins the title back.

Way too much happened. What was the point of giving Orton the title and having him lose it if he was just going to get it back? Why have Triple H hold the title for two hours? Why have three title matches? They could have awarded Orton the title and he would have to defend it against the winner of Triple H/Umaga in the main event. They could have decided that there will be a new WWE Champion crowned in the main event, give Orton a spot since he was the #1 contender, and then Triple H and Umaga compete to see who faces him. Or they could have done a triple threat. Whatever the case, they only needed one title match.

That night Lashley won the WWE title. The Miz faked having the bubble guts. One title match was booked, and Miz basically ran, then the same night the real title match was booked against Lashley and Lashley won.

I liked that. Had three hours to get through and did it well.


Like that time Sting won the title and lost it back to DDP the same night

wrestlemania 2000 four way match, with a McMahon in every corner...the crowd booed the shyt out of HHH winning...and they knew it sucked because backlash 2000 fixed it and was a WAAAAY better main event just hhh vs rock. That should've been the main event.

That Austin pop was nasty at Bacclash

Do you mean the most overbooked a wrestler has been in one night? If so this takes the cake easily:

HHH vs Big Show in a Chokeslam match
HHH vs Kane in an Inferno Match
HHH vs Mideon & Viscera in a Casket match
HHH vs Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl
HHH vs The Rock in a bullrope match

The wording in the title is giving Hooked on Phonics vibes my boy.

I feel like the title of this thread was overbooked

The episode of WCW Nitro where Vince Russo booked a fukkery triple cage match putting Nash's Heavyweight Title on the line....
*Nash & Russo beefing throughout the entire night
*People interfering from outside IN A CAGE MATCH
*Nash doing the least amount of work
*Russo SWERVES everyone revealing that Nash and Russo were cool the entire time and Nash retains wasting everyone's time

That first GCW show from Hammerstein a couple years ago was so overbooked with dumb nonsense that they had to make significant time cuts to the main event. GCW was getting hot, and they still haven’t recovered from it.

Wasnt there a Raw where Stone Cold was interfering in all the matches too? I remember one of the interference led to this promo at least
