I'm partial to Wrestlemania X-7, but I also loved the first three Survivor Series.

WM 15 for the reason of it being the first Wrestlemania I saw, and WM X7 for it's sheer awesomeness.

Wrestlemania 14 probably.

Being biased for having great memories w/friends and family since I went, I'd say Summerslam 1997 and 2007, King of the Ring 2001, and Rumble 2008.

But, if we're talking match quality, I'd have to go with WrestleMania 17 or 19. I also loved Survivor Series 2002.

WM17 - Obvious reasons
WM 20 - Obvious reason

The sentimental winner is Survivor Series 92 as it was the first PPV I actually saw the day it was first shown rather than later on video.

The card quality winner would be Royal Rumble 1992 or WrestleMania X-Seven.

I also seem to remember SummerSlam 1998 as being a very good card, but it's been too long since I watched it. Definitely worth me checking that out again I'd say.

Rock and Triple H in a ladder match for the Intercontinental Title in Madison Square Garden. Fuck yes.

NeanderCarl

Yeah, I think I remember the actual line-up itself pretty well, I just don't remember how good it was, but I do recall being very impressed by it back when I watched it. That was nearly a deacde ago, I've been to bed since then.

From memory (so I might be wrong) the card was: WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Undertaker; WWF Intercontinental Champion The Rock vs Triple H in a Ladder Match; WWF Tag Team Champions Kane and Mankind vs The New Age Outlaws (was this a no-DQ or Dumpster match of some kind?); Hair vs Hair X-Pac vs Jeff Jarrett; The Oddities vs Kai En Tai; WWF European Champion D'Lo Brown vs Val Venis; Edge and Sable vs Marc Mero and... umm... Luna maybe? Or Jacqueline actually sounds more likely... thats all I can remember.

Oh, Owen Hart vs Ken Shamrock in a Octagon Cage Match, was that SummerSlam? Or was Steve Blackman involved somehow?? Damn my hazy memory.

NeanderCarl
02-26-2008, 02:00 AM
I'm thinking Blackman may have been the referee. Ah, fuck it, Wiki here I come.

Loose Cannon

Owen/Shamrock was the Lion's Den Match, yes. Summerslam 98 was an awesome PPV. HHH/Rock remains my fav ladder match of all-time. Great heat involved.

But to answer the question, it's a tough call. The PPV that has my all-time fav match is Canadian Stampede

But.. as far as looking at the entire card, I want to say Wrestlemania 6. Great American Bash '89, X-7, Royal Rumble 92 are very close

One Night Stand was pretty awesome

survivor series 1990

Cant really chose a favorite, but Backlash 2000 was a very good one. Lots of good build up, a return by Austin, the crowd was hot, the Rock won the wwf title from HHH, plus good undercard tag team matches (DX vs. E&C, Dudleys vs. T&A). Believe it or not, a good match between Dean Malenko and S2H as well.

NeanderCarl
02-26-2008, 06:18 PM
A tremendous match between Malenko and Scotty. Scott's best match in the WWF/E by miles.

NeanderCarl
02-26-2008, 06:18 PM
Saying that, Malenko's best match in the Fed too.

Summerslam 2002

X-7, and Both One Night Stands.

X-7 because, well you saw it...
ONS1 because it was ECW, booked well, and had the best crowd reactions in years.
ONS2 Cena didn't win, also RVD did win. Thats a double whammy, and for the WWE title too. Also the crowd reactions were good, but for different reasons to ONS1.

WrestleMania X-Seven
One Night Stand '05 & '06

GAB '90 :y:

Also, Survivor Series 1990 is the PPV I rented the most times when I was a kid. I love that show. I watch it all the time still to this day.

My mate had than on tape. Great event as was the Rumble that followed on from it.

WM 17 & 20, ONS 1&2, The Night The Line Was Crossed....don't remember if it was an actual PPV...but the 3 way dance is one of my all tame fave matches.

Mr. JL
02-27-2008, 08:55 PM
Oh, also Guilty as Charged '01 for the simple fact that Rob Van Dam showed up out of nowhere and faced off against Lynn.

Wrestlemania X was pretty solid.

Wrestlemania 15 was the first PPV I stayed up to watch live, being from the UK and starting at 1a.m.

Wrestlemania 22 because I was there.

Substitute Michaels for Vince and you have Raw a few weeks ago. These things will always be relevant.

Summerslam 91,

93 Rumble

WM VIII

Those are my top 3 I can watch anytime.

Loose Cannon
02-28-2008, 12:54 PM
some nice classic ones. You never see anyone mention RR '93 as a favorite. Summerslam '91 is great. I love the wedding attack at the end of it. Watch it and tell me Jake did not smoke crack right before he came out the the segment? Seriously.

Wrestlemania 8 had the excellent Savage/Flair, Piper/Hart matches and the huge return of the Warrior at the end. I remember watching that live (like at home live) as a kid and going fricken nuts when Warrior came running out. good times

Wrestlemania 12 back in 1996. It was the first one I watched on TV live. Good memories.

Londoner
02-28-2008, 04:23 PM
Backlash 2000/fully loaded 2000/one night stand are the best ones i can think of right now.

NeanderCarl
02-28-2008, 10:29 PM
Yeah, Fully Loaded 2000 was a good one. Was that a triple main event right? Rock vs Benoit for the title, HHH vs Jericho Last Man Standing and I'm sure there was a third main event.

NeanderCarl
02-28-2008, 10:30 PM
Undertaker vs Angle maybe?

actually I had meant RR 92...but Rumble 93 is one of my favorite Rumbles for some reason. I absolutely love when Perfect comes flying out of the curtain and the look on Flair's face. I enjoyed Yoko as a heel so I was happy to see him get the win. Also Jannetty vs Michaels, though it wasnt a particularly good match, I was happy to watch them face off.

Yup taker/angle, Taker won.(in reply to carl)

The Rumble Benoit won, or the Backlash with Foley VS Orton in the hardcore match.

Rumble because it was the first ppv I saw since getting back into wrestling. Backlash because I was there for it.
