I am a die hard WWE wrestling fan and i have watched many excellent WWE PPV's over the years. This is a list of my top 10 PPV's and a brief description of my thoughts on them.
10. Backlash(2001)-Out of the seven matches on the card, there were three matches that stood out for me. The first was the last man standing match between Shane Mcmahon and the Big Show. This match saw some good solid hardcore action and saw Mcmahon jump nearly 50 feet off a Titantron right onto Show leading to his victory. I also enjoyed the classic submission match between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, as it contained some of the best pure wrestling i have seen. I was also in awe of the Main Event that saw Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin defeat The Undertaker and Kane for the tag team titles. The match was a brawl from start to finish and included many twists and turns. Good show overall.
9.Wrestlemania 21(2005)-This show featured a classic match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Micheals, a battle between The Undertaker and a young Randy Orton and a solid main event between Triple H and Batista. I also enjoyed the return of Hulk Hogan during a segment with Eugene, Muhammad Hassan(great talent) and Divari. I also liked the Hollywood segments WWE did with the show.
8.No Way Out(2000)-This is one of my favorite shows simply because of the last two matches on the card. The match between the Rock and The Big Show was a fun brawl that saw a returning Shane Mcmahon(he had been out 2 months), screw the Rock, providing a twist in a solid storyline that will culminate in a Fatal 4 Way match for the WWF Title. It was a complete shocker to fans at the time, including me. I also enjoyed the epic Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and Mick Foley, as it matched the intensity of their hardcore match a month earlier at the Royal Rumble.
7.Unforgiven(2006)-This show featured four excellent matches. The IC title match between Jeff Hardy and Johnny Nitro was an awesome display of athletic ability. The Women's title match between Trish Stratus and Lita was the best women's match i had seen in years. The Hell in A Cell Match between DX , The Mcmahons and Big Show was brutal and funny and the TLC Match between John Cena and Edge for the WWE title was impressive as i ever seen from either superstar.
6.Summerslam(2002)-Summerslam 2002, three oustanding wrestling matches, a brawl for the ages and a start of a new era. Angle vs Mysterio brought energy and excitement. Ric Flair vs Chris Jericho and Edge vs Eddie Guerrero brought skill. The no holds barred match between Triple H and Shawn Micheals was a war and Brock Lesnar vs the Rock was a bullfight. Great show.
5.Wrestlemania XII(1996)-Shawn Micheals vs Bret Hart in a 60 minute Iron Man Match for the WWE title. Nothing else needs to be said.
4.Money In The Bank(2011)-This is one of the most exciting shows WWE has ever done. The Raw and Smackdown Money In the Bank matches were awesome and the main event between John Cena and CM Punk for the WWE Title was the greatest main event in the 2007(PG) era.
3.Wrestlemania XIX(2003)-The Rock vs Austin for the third and final time, Hogan vs Vince Mcmahon, Jericho vs HBK and Angle vs Lesnar. Big time performances here.
2.ECW One Night Stand(2005)-Almost 3 hours of Extreme wrestling. It was an amazing scene that night. The emotion of the fans and wrestlers alike were very joyful to watch.
1.Wrestlemania X7(2001)-This was WWE at the height of its powers. Triple H, Kurt Angle, The Rock, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, The Mcmahon Family, Mick Foley, etc. This was the single greatest display of star power in wrestling history. I have not seen a show like this before it and i have not seen one since. Best PPV of all time in my humble opinion.
