Apparently Great Balls of Fire was originally supposed to be the revived Bad Blood ppv but they decided to ditch it in favor Great Balls of Fire. Also Evolution should really be a mainstay that happens once every few years especially with how stacked the Womens Division is now. I also loved Breaking Point as kid especially mostly cause it had one of the better Cena vs Orton matches
The only thing i remember from Breaking Point is the next night on RAW when Cena replayed the moment Orton quit over and over again....Oh and that PPV also had a great theme song.
The odd thing about the Wrestling Classic was the turnbuckles had no padding. No explanation why. They just didn't have any. The car giveaway was a huge waste of time. The audience hated it. And to top it off the winner wasn't even there! 😂 On the plus side Randy Savage did wrestle 4 times which meant 4 different dresses for Elizabeth! 😍
Huh, Vince McMahon offering a high dollar prize to drive viewership only for no winners to ever materialize? What a weird thing that would certainly never happen again.
Honestly the concept of Breaking Point was neat is just WWE didn't make use of is full potential of a submission only show. (And not too mention them shamelessly redoing the Montreal Screwjob in the World title match really grinds my gears.) But Orton vs Cena at this show was great.
Yeah, WWE could easily bring Breaking Point back, and with Triple H focusing on giving most PPVs/PLEs only around 5 or 6 matches you could fill it out nicely with the gimmick. Two submission matches, an I Quit match, a Last Man Standing match, and maybe even an elimination match or two (to at least marginally maintain the theme).
Clash at the Castle was special and shows why we are the best fans in the world! MITB was amazing too and I'm honoured to have gone to both. We definitely deserve a Mania.
WWE not having Evolution as an annual womens ppv (it's like a class reunion tbh) every year or 2 is crazy, since they have SO many dream matches sat there but no time to do them. The roster is STACKED and ready to go. Stipulations have been time proven with some of the women too. Give us a HIAC main event with Iyo jumping off the top ffs
Nah lowkey my favorite part of CATC was WWE forgetting to cut the cameras before Drew & Tyson sang. Btw, for those keeping track at home, WWE did edit out them singing Don’t Look Back In Anger but not American Pie. Strange, aye?
I will say that Fatal Four Way could be a fun concept for a show in a Japanese promotion like NJPW or NOAH, where multi-man matches like that are relatively quite rare. Certainly compared to any major American promotion, where they're just a staple of weekly programming anyways. Funny to think about.
Only just returned to wrestling for the first time since 2018. Clash at the Castle is probably one of the best WWE shows i've ever seen. I wish I'd seen it at the time.
On the previous video, I wasn't sure if Adam was just mispronouncing things on purpose or if they just trained an AI using his voice. The glitch at 5:09 is starting to make me think its the later.
They never actually claimed Sheamus and Drew to be from Wales though. Just in the general area. Had they wanted to, they could've used Sub Culture for a one off
Funny that I actually was at 2 of these shows. Same venue too. Evolution and Fatal 4 Way were both in the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Had fun at both even if Fatal 4 Way was kinda dumb and lackluster.
Fatal 4-Way needa slide back every other year, roster stacked enough for it🔥 Breaking Point (submission, i quit for the main titles), Day 1 *New Years Resolution should happen because SS-Rumble dead !!!…. *. My 3 fave besides invasion 01🐐
I’m gonna guess that the top entry is either Evolution or Clash at the Castle. DX vs Legacy at Breaking Point is a pretty underrated match with a unique twist on a old gimmick.
Good old 2010, where Vince decided to sack off the ppvs that had been going on years and were absolutely fine, and replace them with gimmick matches which sort of ruined what made those matches special. And then they ran out of gimmick matches so they scraped the barrels for a night of fatal four ways. Jesus Christ what was wrong with judgement day or armageddon?
I went to stomping ground and it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. Loved the fact Bryan was a heel but we all booed Otis and Tucker bc Bryan is always a face in the Seattle area.
At least during Capital Carnage, [NAME REDACTED] successfully predicted the election of [NAME REDACTED] as UK Prime Minister. And that is absolutely all I have to say about that.
I went to Rock Bottom in Vancouver and re-watched it recently. It gets way too much hate. It's actually a decent show and knowing that Austin broke 3 ribs mid match is even more impressive
Go ahead, take that low hanging fruit. We all knew December to Dismember was going to be the worst anyways. As someone who actually ordered the damn thing i give my consent.
WWE could easily bring back Breaking Point, they could just have it as a non gimmick match event aswell because it's a good/solid name for a PPV/PLE in general.
I have the Fatal Four way DVD, and on the cover, ALL THE TITLE WINNER ARE SHOWN ON THE COVER! With the title! they spoiled the winners on the cover of the DVD lol.
This list is for Pay Per Views that only aired once. There were two Taboo Tuesdays and three Cyber Sundays, although technically they are both the same thing since Taboo Tuesday BECAME Cyber Sunday after switching from Tue to Sun. So that means altogether there were five.
One is saying "I Quit", the other is tapping out. It's two perfectly different things. You can scream all you want in a submission, but it doesn't end til you tap. You can tap all you want in an I Quit match and nothing will be done until you verbally say you quit. So yeah, there is logic.
@@RetroActivityGaming Actually, crying out that you quit is a perfectly acceptable method of submitting, it's just fallen out of favour because the deliberate motion of tapping out translates better to an audience. There's nothing specifically forbidding anyone submitting be saying 'I quit!".
@@RetroActivityGamingyeah but it fits the Breaking Point theme. It’s called Breaking Point not Submission Mayhem. I Quit is about breaking your opponent until they willingly give up. Also how was there NOT an Iron Man or Last Man Standing match here? I think Breaking Point should be brought back with the matches being submission, I Quit, Iron Man and Last Man Standing. Honestly, they should just replace Extreme Rules with Breaking Point since Extreme Rules isn’t very extreme either
@@BoogalooBartholomew TBF they kind of continued Breaking Point with the more creatively named “Over the Limit.” I’ll always remember when Cena was going to AA Batista off the car on the stage before he quit, and did it anyway. Batista actually got legit injured, but was used as a way to write him off WWE since he was going to leave WWE at that time
Dude put some respect on the dx vs legacy match was freaking good with awesome storytelling and putting legacy over. Who cares they werent dean malenko or benoit; 3/4 of them had submision holds as signature moves anyway
I may be in the minority but I liked Capital Punishment. The CM Punk-Mysterio and Orton-Christian bouts were both fantastic and Ziggler-Kingston was a decent enough opener. A stronger main event and it would have been an outstanding show.
Maybe I misunderstood the rules for the video, but where is the St Valentines Massacre? As far as I’m aware they only did the one. The whole video I was waiting to see where it would be ranked only to finish the video without it being featured at all lol.
Edit: Never mind, I didn’t realize they were still labeling shows with the “In Your House” moniker in 1998, in fact it turns out that was the last show In the 90’s the have the label. My bad.
I would never forget Great Balls of Fire, it was like such an out of the blue ple name
Erm actually it was a “PPV” back then 🤓👆🏻
was it suppose to be a reference to the song? What exactly was the problem naming it Bad Blood?
@@night6724 they used that song every single commercial for it so I assume so
@@JarlTheKingthat's it, gimmie your lunch money nerd

I really hope WWE does another Breaking Point someday. It wasn't a perfect show by any means, but it was a really fun change of pace
Breaking Point, Evolution and Fatal 4 Way all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and needed every other year or some
12:40 check out that timestamp lol. My friends and I were cracking up when that titantron showed up.
Breaking Point wasn’t submission exclusive. It included the I Quit match which fits the breaking point moniker
Technically, an I Quit match is a verbal submission match.
@@thevoicelesswriter yeah it basically is. cause when you say that phrase its saying i submit
Well at least we’re getting a new Clash At The Castle this year
6:28 is such a great edit

They should make a video of the best PPV stages of all time or the best PPV promotional posters of all time 🔥🔥🔥
Clapping very slowly at the Jericho at the capital image
What's the reference there? It seems funny but I didn't get it. Is Y2J a Trumper or something?
His wife was at Jan 6th
😮
Breaking Ponit should have returned as Raw or Smackdown Exclusive PPV during the remastered brand split or even as an NXT event
Nah lowkey my favorite part of CATC was WWE forgetting to cut the cameras before Drew & Tyson sang.

Shout out to King of the Ring which was the 5th member of the big 5 back in the day.

HBK winning the belt from bulldog was absolutely the right call and the only reason that show is remembered to this day.
why do you hate The Brits?
For what it's worth, the Submission Tag Team Match between DX and Legacy at Breaking Point was dope.
Remembering how WWE had a PPV called Great Balls Of Fire. Makes me grateful for other wrestling promotions existing in 2023😭🙏
And to be honest that pay-per-view was a banger 🤷🏾♂️
@@azrael_ao1 💀💀💀💀
@@TheAc550 I HATE YOU FOR NOT LIKING GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!
It was the rock line in his old promos he said
Great balls of fire 😂😂😂 how can we forget about that
Only just returned to wrestling for the first time since 2018. Clash at the Castle is probably one of the best WWE shows i've ever seen. I wish I'd seen it at the time.
Evolution ended up as one of my all time favourite events. Thoroughly excellent throughout
On the previous video, I wasn't sure if Adam was just mispronouncing things on purpose or if they just trained an AI using his voice. The glitch at 5:09 is starting to make me think its the later.
Stomping Grounds was a solid PPV given no build to the matches. it was my first PPV Live&i loved it
Love these type of videos, keep it up guys 😄

I think youre breaking your own rule with the greatest royal rumble
I miss the WWE Armageddon & New Year's Revolution PPVs. Bring those back, Triple H!
Fatal 4-Way needa slide back every other year, roster stacked enough for it🔥 Breaking Point (submission, i quit for the main titles), Day 1 *New Years Resolution should happen because SS-Rumble dead !!!…. *. My 3 fave besides invasion 01🐐
One Night Only was at the NEC in Birmingham, not Manchester
Great Balls of Fire will always be my favourite one off PPV name, such a random name
Of course after he posted this. Day 1 has been announced for this year
Hey, now, say what you want but Day One was a great show. Thoroughly enjoyed it and was distraught they didn’t have one this year.
Adam you should now rank all nxt takeovers worst to best again it’s been over 5 years since the last one
Day 1 is still happening this year
I’m gonna guess that the top entry is either Evolution or Clash at the Castle. DX vs Legacy at Breaking Point is a pretty underrated match with a unique twist on a old gimmick.
Clash at the Castle is the only right choice for the No.1 Spot.
This PLE was as close to perfection as it gets.
except for Drew losing 😢
I like the Day 1 event, but mainly out of bias, since it was my first wrestling event I ever went to.
Honestly the ppv name should've been New Years Revolution instead in my opinion instead of Day One
@@Kalel2.0 Yea I miss that ppv
The 2001 Invasion and Clash at the Castle 2022 are the best. Nothing but awesome moments.
01 invasion different lol
Clash At The Castle is NOT a one off!
Fatal 4 Way was literally insane 😂😂😂 but cool tho.
Fun fact I was actually at the Fatal 4-way & Evolution ppvs
Jericho peaking in at The Capitol Building made me spit my drink out.
TELL me he wasn't there
Clash at the Castle was so goated
Good old 2010, where Vince decided to sack off the ppvs that had been going on years and were absolutely fine, and replace them with gimmick matches which sort of ruined what made those matches special.

What’s funny is now Raw is doing a special edition of Day 1
They could’ve brought back DAY 1 for their show in san diego next month…mainly saying that because itd be the first show i go to
Clash was an absolute banger and a half. Went to a Watch Party for it 😊😊
I went to stomping ground and it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. Loved the fact Bryan was a heel but we all booed Otis and Tucker bc Bryan is always a face in the Seattle area.
11:45 and last Monday night Jey dedicated his title match against Seth to his dead uncle Umaga. He lost
i was at One Night Only as an adorable 15 year old 😊
but sorry guys it was in Birmingham not Manchcester 😅
Saying you love Corbin is a thought best kept to yourself
6:31 oh my god
At least during Capital Carnage, [NAME REDACTED] successfully predicted the election of [NAME REDACTED] as UK Prime Minister. And that is absolutely all I have to say about that.
How did Great Balls of Fire top One Night Only? What are you stashing in the Stache Pacitti?
good video
I went to Rock Bottom in Vancouver and re-watched it recently. It gets way too much hate. It's actually a decent show and knowing that Austin broke 3 ribs mid match is even more impressive
