Money in the Bank; having one for each brand is as dumb as having a rumble for each brand. Plus, building an entire ppv around a match that is VERY much about luck is STUPID. TLC and Hell in a Cell are right behind it.

Fatal Four Way & Hell In A Cell. They are match types, NOT SOMETHING YOU NAME YOUR PPV'S AFTER!!!!!!!
Dishonorable mention for Money in The Bank. Only 2 matches are MITB matches and i actually prefer MITB for WM so giving it its own PPV is a STUPID idea....

For me the worst wrestling show concept Survivor Series, while the idea of having a show where things will be settled in an elimination tag match is ok, the idea of holding several of these matches, with random teaming of wrestlers that don't always have any heat between them is just stupid. Many SS matches were ok being that they had something behind them (RAW vs Smackdown, WWE vs Alliance) but i really dislike just pairing up a bunch of faces vs heels.
I dislike Elimination Chamber, i don't think there should ever be two ECs in one PPV. Same with HIAC, it diminishes the impact of the match type and makes it seem like just another match.
I actually like the idea of Fatal Four way as long as every match is actually a fatal four way, it helps put people in matches, titles are usually crowded anyway.

Tough Enough. It isn't even a wrestling show.
Other than that I'd go HIAC, just because it is killing prestigious match type, making it worthless.

That's not even a concept! That is just a show! That is saying "televised wrestling is bad."
I don't think that anyone here (yourself included) believes that.

This!. It's a televised show dude. It's cool if you don't like it or whatever... but it's kind of irrelevant here.

I'm surprised Survivor Series has come up! When held true to the concept, it's always been one of the PPV's I looked forward to the most! I'm holding on to memories mostly, as it was the one's from my childhood I remember so fondly (late '80's early '90's)
My WOTW goes to TLC/Extreme Rules. I can't get behind anything where the title can change hands in the Main Event because the champ falls through a Table, not to mention entire cards full of stip matches. Just like what was said about HIAC, it takes the luster away from something that used to be prestigious.

Its a reality TV show so it's not technically a wrestling show. It's all about training to BECOME a wrestler. There are no matches so it shouldnt qualify for this. At least half show takes place outside of the ring where maybe 10 to 15 minutes per show they're actually in a ring doing drills.

NXT. The idea of debuting farm league talent this way is a good idea. Making them do survivor-esque challenges to achieve such a thing? Bad idea.

This. I LOVED the original NXT, where they kept track of wins and losses, difficulty of opponents, and effort put in (all in a kayfabe sense) as well as how well they did on their promos, etc. It was awesome! Then they went and f*cked it up.

I'm with you all the way; I LOVE Survivor Series when they actually have the SS style matches....
