Pete's bit about Clash at the Castle is very similar to why WrestleMania 20 will always be one of my favorites. I found out that Hooters was showing WWE PPVs, so I went to Hooters to watch WM 20. A room full of strangers, and super hot waitresses, at the start, but by the time the main event came on, a communal comraderie had grown. All of us, out of our seats, gathered around one TV behind the bar, screaming for Triple H to tap to Benoit's crossface. When he did, an eruption of joy. High fives, back slaps, hugs with the waitresses. Just a fun fun night.
I’m so glad to see someone mention Rumble 07. Maybe it’s because it was my first WWE PPV I ever watched (and it was on my eighth birthday) but I just adore that show and have watched it more than any other. To this day the greatest final two in Rumble history, one of Cena’s greatest title defenses, and a really solid Kennedy-Batista match that really showed how much potential the former had
7:10 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that was also the first time Bryan used the Busaiku Knee as a finisher (up until then he'd just used the LeBell Lock). So the crowd didn't really have any reason to believe it could be the finish
I do believe it was, I couldn't believe it either that he beat Cena clean with a random running knee. XD But then the Authority said "It's authoritying time" and authoritied all over the place. 😢
Yep, part of the reason that there was 1 2 3 crowd chant i belive, no one knew this move, specially not as a finisher.....i guess they didnt wanna make cena tap so came up with the knee
@@trewilliams8411 Damn, you're pretty heated over a random wrestling match from 10 years ago. Bryan Danielson is on the run of his career in AEW, he's one of the only guys that I don't consider "cringe" in wrestling at the moment. Wrestling is inherently cringe, so to not have some glaring aspect of cringe is a huge accomplishment. 😂 Bryan Danielson is great, I don't know what you're on about.
Because I like seeing the lists from top to bottom. I've put them below in case you're interested at the end of the video. Luke - Summerslam 2013 -> Royal Rumble 2007 -> Wrestlemania 31 -> Wrestlemania XXX -> Summerslam 2002 -> Money in the Bank 2011 -> Royal Rumble 2001 -> ECW One Night Stand 2005 -> Wrestlemania X-Seven -> Backlash 2000 Tempest - Survivor Series 2016 -> Wrestlemania 31 -> No Mercy 2008 -> Money in the Bank 2011 -> Wrestlemania 19 -> Royal Rumble 2001 -> Summerslam 2002 -> Wrestlemania 24 -> Clash at the Castle 2022 -> Wrestlemania X-Seven Pete - Wrestlemania 39 -> Wrestlemania 33 -> Summerslam 2013 -> Wrestlemania 31 -> Royal Rumble 2020 -> Money in the Bank 2023 -> Wrestlemania XXX -> Wrestlemania X-Seven -> Money in the Bank 2011 -> Clash at the Castle 2022
I have a soft spot for Money in the Bank 2016, back then I was such a fanboy of Dean Ambrose, Survivor Series 2015 hurt me, Royal Rumble 2016 hurt me in regards of him getting so close to the WWE Championship. So I marked out when he won the MTiB, and marked out even louder when he cashed in. The only other time I marked out so hard in Wrestling was when Bayley won that match in Brooklyn.
Royal Rumble 01 will always be my favorite Rumble. Being from New Orleans we never got PPV’s, and rarely got Raw or Smackdown. So the excitement was through the roof to get a major PPV. Then the show was amazing, if you weren’t there, that chair shot to Benoit as he dived through the ropes was so loud…it still lives in my head to this day. Then the hardcore Rumble…such a great show!
I 100% agree with Clash at the Castle being so high, in the time I’ve been watching wrestling I’ve never felt a crowd so electric, being there in person may make me biased though. I also would have an honourable mention of Wrestlemania XXV (25) because it’s the first WWE show I ever watched and it’s what I owe getting into wrestling to. I loved the Matt vs Jeff hardy match, the money in the bank ladder match, the HBK vs Undertaker match
Shout out to Unforgiven 2006, always been one of my favourites and is seemingly underrated. Royal Rumble 2023 and Backlash 2023 too they kinda going insane lately.
One match that doesn't get enough respect on the Backlash 2000 card is Malenko Vs Scotty for the Light Heavyweight Title. We talk so much about Brock Vs Cena and that power squash match, but Scotty/Malenko is a weirdly technical squash and I adore it. Malenko just tears apart Scotty's legs over and over, working them to set up for the Texas Cloverleaf, poor Scotty got little to no offense in. Also, Backlash 2000 was my first PPV with friends, and we loved seeing Rock beat HHH and the return of fat Austin lol
Big Show vs Mayweather was absolutely better than it deserved to be. I distinctly remember a cornerman constantly yelling "He can't be doin' that! He can't be doin' that!" Good times.
Tempest talking about being 12 makes me feel old. My wife and I, went to Wrestlemania 6. I remember the very first Wrestlemania. Had to watch it from a rented VHS cassette from Coliseum home video, no PPV in the city where, I was living at the time.
I legit spent 20 minutes writing my own list before watching and was honestly surprised by the top 11 I came up with featuring 3 separate Backlash PPVs mostly for nostalgia when I was a wee 8 year old watching to modern day shows that I just love and can go and watch over and over.
Here's my list for those interested 11. Backlash 2009 Cena eating spotlight and Orton finally wins the title plus a sick I Quit match between Matt and Jeff Hardy. 10. Backlash 2001 Duchess of Queensbury rules match and an intense winner takes all tag match between 2 man power trip and brothers of destruction. 9. Unforgiven 2008 aka Jericho gets beaten to a pulp by HBK only to win the World title in the Scramble a match type I liked but alas I was the only 1 apparently. 8. The Bash 2009 Jericho VS Mysterio Mask for title with an amazing finish and then Jericho and Edge win the tag titles in a decent mid card triple threat tag with the Colons and Legacy. 7. Vengeance 2003 Benoit VS Guerrero in the US Title tournament finals and a surprisingly good main event of Angle Lesnar and Big Show. 6. Backlash 2000 Basically Mania but done right plus that Austin pop still huge by today's standard. 5. Survivor Series 2019 NXT wins lol I was a huge NXT guy back then I barely watched main roster plus low key underrated triple threat between Roddy Strong AJ and Shinskue. 4. Royal Rumble 2020 Drew gets his nig win and Fiend VS Bryan was eerie but great plus the first half of the Rumble being Brock going nah I'm winning lads hilarious. 3 Royal Rumble 2018 Both winners being the correct choice and Ronda debut which was huge at the time. 2. Mania 31 still to me the best recent Mania and that's saying a lot given it was 8 years ago, that RKO on Seth the heist of the century and Cena and Bryan became mid card champs to elevate the rest of the mid card huge. 1. Summerslam 2016 Me and my mates do Predictions and this is the show where I got flawless won the championship for the first time and the card is huge Lesnar VS Orton in the main Cena VS Styles 2 Seth VS Finn he'll Ambrose VS Ziggler was different to say the least. That's my list have a great day guys and gals.
I love the fact that these are very personal lists, it gives insight to the reasons for the choices, it also avoids these lists being very similar to all other slightly more objective lists made on wrestling UA-cam.
Would be interesting to see a "B" level list. Yes, the big 4(5 with MITB now) and many of the international shows are great because of their venues. But shows like No Mercy 2002, aforementioned Backlash 2000, No Way Out 2008, TLC 2012... I'm sure there are more that I've forgotten, but still could be fun with that constraint.
Great idea. Some other bangers: No Way Out 2001 & 2009, Backlash 1999 & 2023, No Mercy 2000 & 2008, Vengeance 2005, Extreme Rules 2012, Clash at the Castle 2022 if it counts
Hi there! For an idea, I thought of this from when Whatculture were doing their news roundup and were looking at questions people had. One of them was who should be the first inductee if AEW ever made a Hall of Fame (in 10 or 15 years)? So, for a top 10 list, how about your top 10 AEW Wrestlers, Managers, and/or Referees (since I think referees in any pro wrestling company are just as important as the other players in a match) that should be in their first Hall of Fame and, as an added bonus if you want, who should induct them?
Woof! The final Top 10 by Borda Count (10 pts for 1st, 9 for 2nd, etc.) has several one-vote nominees, including one that outranked something all three of them voted in! (Thanks, Luke. j/k) 1) Wrestlemania 17 (27) 2) Money In The Bank 2011 (19) 2) Clash At The Castle (19) 4) Royal Rumble 2001 (13) 5) Summerslam 2002 (12) 6) Backlash 2000 (10) 7) Wrestlemania 31 (9) 8) ECW One Night Stand 2005 (8) 8) Wrestlemania 24 (8) 10) Wrestlemania 30 (7)
Wrestlemania 17 will forever be the daddy of wrestling PPV's. There's much better shows out there, but no wrestling event has ever embodied how I view quality wrestling better than that show - edgy, corny, unpredictable, fast paced, electric atmosphere, great characters all over the card, etc... it's quite simply a fun time. The perfect love letter to the Attitude Era!
A bit sad there's no NXT Takeover here but really solid choices. At a point where the main roster was absolutely terrible most of the time, I loved NXT Takeovers so much. - Takeover: Philadelphia for the fantastic Gargano vs Andrade match and also Black vs Cole - TakeOver: New Orleans for the amazing North American Championship Ladder Match and Ciampa vs Gargano - TakeOver: War Games 2018, Pete Dunne, Ricochet, & War Raiders vs Undisputed Era is my favourite War Games match ever And there are so much more, the NXT Black & Gold era was what kept me hooked on wrestling.
No SummerSlam 2000? No Rumble 2000? Damn you guys forgetting how great 2000 was (except Luke). I have this feeling Pete has never seen anything before 2011.
I'm late to adding my own contribution, but I have to on my rewatch. I had basically stopped watching wrestling when a local movie theater started showing WWE PPVs, starting with Wrestlemania 21. I loved that show, MitB, the elevation of Cena and Batista, Orton vs Undertaker, Angle vs Michaels, Rey vs Eddie. Made a fan out of me once again, I had to see what happened next
Wrestlemania XX is the first time I watched with my father and cousins and that will always be special to me. Seeing Benoit get that cross-face actually got me
King Of The Ring 1998 would be on my list. While the vast majority of the fans only remember the HIAC match, up and down the card was pretty damn good.
A couple topics I would love to see you discuss in a future video for this series, top 10 NXT matches/events, I think there’s enough to do a top ten Takeover events, I personally would say matches. Top ten underrated wrestlers, from NXT, WWE, and maybe even ECW performers who don’t get the recognition they deserve. Top ten wrestling finishers. Also I would love to see a Survival Series listing every WWE Tag Team champion, with the exception being that all competitors have a secret partner, which ever team says the most answers combined, moves on to a tie breaker match with the history of WWE Tag Team Championship as the way to determine the winner.
The build up to Backlash 2000 main event was crazy. The story of the Mcmahon-Helmsley regime vs 1 man (The Rock) and a rumoured potential appearance from their old nemesis (Stone Cold) as his ally. 95% of the way through the match, The Rock who has had the absolute snot kicked out of him by everyone in the regime including Brisco and Patterson, refusing to lose. The glass shatters, the crowd explodes and Stone Cold marches down to the ring with a steel chair to unload 8 months worth of justice on the regime. He does his thing, leaves and The Rock pins HHH in the middle of the ring with Earl Hebner counting the fall. I would also add that the RAW the following day was probably one of the best "go home episodes ever". Rock vs Shane in a cage with the regime outside.
A lot of the same PPVs would of been on my list, but one that was missed, and on mine would be Royal Rumble 2016. My friends would vouch that I would react and mark out here and there, but RR2016 that made me feel like a little kid. Mainly because AJ Freaking Styles debuted. My favorite non WWE wrestler at the time debut on my favorite PPV, in my favorite style match. I literally think my heart skipped when it happened. My friend as soon as the first shirt went on sale had bought it for me as he knew how impactful that debut was for me in the modern era for WWE. And like you guys were saying some of the best PPVs are some of the ones you got to watch with your friends and family even though they might be bad, or like 1/2 card event. But they will always be memorable.
Wrestlemania 31 would be a perfect 10/10 show if Sting beat Triple H at WM 31. WM 30 is easily the most overrated show that people only remember the opening match, the streak ending, and the ending of the show. The rest of WM30 is pretty boring, Wyatt vs Cena fell flat, The Outlaws and Kane vs The shield was crap, the Vickie Guerrero open invitation sucked, The andre the giant battle royal was mid outside of Cesaro winning. But, I don't think any pay per views will be above WM17 and WM19.
I always think the 2000 Royal rumble gets overlooked because of the 2001 rumble being so good. 2000 is legit great too though, the Debut of Tazz, the bonkers table match between the Hardy's and Dudley's, a solid rumble and probably the greatest street fight/no holds barred match the WWE have ever put on. Such a great show
Was it a perfect show? No... But WrestleMania 21 should be an honorable mention.... The ascension of Cena and Batista, Ortom vs Taker elevating and making the streak more significant of a thing, the first ever Money in the bank match, an awesome Angle/Shawn match
For my top 10: 1. Wrestlemania 17 2. Survivor Series 2017 3. Royal Rumble 2020 4. ECW One Night Stand 2005 5. Wrestlemania 19 6. Survivor Series 2000 7. Royal Rumble 2001 8. Money in the Bank 2011 9. No Mercy 1999 10. Summerslam 2013
The rankings were kinda all over the place with this one, but I enjoyed the fact that all three guys had some variety in their own personal Top Ten lists. Anyway, the numbers varied greatly as a result, but here are the Top Three: In Third Place with 13 points: Royal Rumble 2001. In Second Place with 19 points: it's a tie between Money in the Bank 2011 and Clash at the Castle 2022. And in First Place with a grand total of 27 points: WrestleMania X-Seven.
1. WrestleMania X7 2. WrestleMania 39 3. WrestleMania XIX 4. Survivor Series 2002 5. WrestleMania 35 6. SummerSlam 2002 7. Evolution 8. Hell in a Cell 2020 9. Royal Rumble 2017 10. Money in the Bank 2013 Personally I was there for 2 of the 3 events (WrestleMania 39 and MITB 2013) and hot damn both shows were fun in many ways. Can’t lie Pandemic wrestling was super fun and that’s why HIAC 2020 Is on here and then everything else just was historic in all kinds of ways.
Here is a list of personal favorites hard for me to do a "best" list 1. Wrestlemania 26 - Taker vs HBK favorite mania match ever Cena vs Batista and Jericho vs Edge were both awesome title matches then throw in Punk vs Rey Triple H vs Sheamus and a MITB match very underrated show (also year I graduated and we had a huge watch party so very memorable) 2. Wrestlemania 22 - Special for me because my great grandma and my grandpa are huge wrestling fans as well as my brothers at the time and it was the last mania we all got to watch together plus my brothers all time favorite is Rey so seeing him happy over his title win was also great 3. Wrestlemania 23 - Best MITB match as well as 2 epic world title matches with Cena vs HBK and Taker vs Batista 4. Royal Rumble 2007 - Best last man standing match ever with Cena vs Umaga and best final 2 in a rumble maybe ever with Taker and Shawn 5. Royal Rumble 2017 - Cena vs Styles (favorite match of all time) Owens vs Reigns was awesome one of the better garbage matches and that Rumble was so unpredictable 6. Extreme Rules 2012 - Cena vs Lesnar Bryan vs Sheamus and Punk vs Jericho were all fantastic 7. Unforgiven 2006 - We had a TLC and a Hell In The Cell match on a B level PPV enough said lol 8. No Mercy 2008 - Jericho vs HBK (favorite ladder match ever) HHH vs Hardy (favorite singles match of triple h's career for me) 9. Wrestlemania 31 - Best MITB cash in Sting vs HHH was epic and both midcard title matches over delivered 10. Survivor Series 2009 - Really enjoyed both world title matches and both elimination matches (If the Cena vs DX triple threat happened at mania it would be talked about more easily my favorite WWE triple threat) but the TNA Unbreakable 3 way between AJ, Joe and Daniels will always be my fave lol
I’m being biased as i was there, but Clash at the Castle would be my number 1. The in-ring action is fantastic, Gunther v Sheamus is all the stars and the atmosphere for Roman v Drew is on another level.
Summerslam 91 Wrestlemania 17 Wrestlemania 19 Survivor Series 2002 Royal Rumble 2000 ECW One Night Stand (original) Vengeance 2003 Wrestlemania 14 No Mercy 2001 Wrestlemania 38

My top is 1)WrestleMania X-Seven 2)WrestleMania x8 3)SummerSlam 2002 4)Royal Rumble 2001 5)No Mercy 2002 6)SummerSlam 2013 7)SummerSlam 2001 8)Survivor Series 2016 9)Survivor Series 2002 10)Money in the Bank 2011
Here's mine tho: 1. WrestleMania X-Seven 2. Royal Rumble 2001 3. SummerSlam 2002 4. Money in the Bank 2011 5. Clash at the Castle 2022 6. Backlash 2000 7. WrestleMania XIV 8. Survivor Series 2002 9.

SummerSlam 2022 18. Royal Rumble 2020 19. Survivor Series 2016 20. Survivor Series 2014
I was lucky enough to be at WM X7 in Houston and WM 6 & X8 in Toronto, they rank up there in the most awesome live events Ive attended over 36 years as a wresting fan!
My favorite pay per view wwe put out is royal rumble 2017 .. was a huge John cena fan when I was younger and a huge aj styles as a kid and to see them fight over the wwe championship at 20 years old made me feel like a kid again.. it was really special to me .. there match at summer slam 2016 was amazing to .. also Randy winning was great cause everyone thought for sure Roman was winning it was just a nice surprise
Unforgiven 2006. Edge vs Cena. Trish v Lita, Nitro v Jeff, that RKO spot with Carlito and even that handicap match between DX v Vince, Shane and Show was fun as fuck.
Pete's bit about Clash at the Castle is very similar to why WrestleMania 20 will always be one of my favorites. I found out that Hooters was showing WWE PPVs, so I went to Hooters to watch WM 20.

CATC is a spectacular show
We definitely need the NXT Takeover episode! Give it to us pls!
NXT UK TAKEOVER Cardiff is my favorite Takeover, and I don't think I could choose 9 others, cause they're all so good!
New Orleans hands down the BEST TakeOver, I don't care what anyone says
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!!
Yessss. This needs to be the next episode
Vengeance Day 2021 is UNDERRATED there really is no banger match on the card 4 star matches from start to finish
Really enjoying this series. You could easily do like 100+ episodes of this. I think you guys should do your top 10 Royal Rumbles or IC Champions.

Loving the new run for this series so far but I'm still waiting for Laurie's genius idea of Funny In The Bank to come to fruition
Tempest talking about being 12 makes me feel old. My wife and I, went to Wrestlemania 6. I remember the very first Wrestlemania. Had to watch it from a rented VHS cassette from Coliseum home video, no PPV in the city where, I was living at the time.
I legit spent 20 minutes writing my own list before watching and was honestly surprised by the top 11 I came up with featuring 3 separate Backlash PPVs mostly for nostalgia when I was a wee 8 year old watching to modern day shows that I just love and can go and watch over and over.

4. Royal Rumble 2020 Drew gets his nig win and Fiend VS Bryan was eerie but great plus the first half of the Rumble being Brock going nah I'm winning lads hilarious.
3 Royal Rumble 2018 Both winners being the correct choice and Ronda debut which was huge at the time.
2. Mania 31 still to me the best recent Mania and that's saying a lot given it was 8 years ago, that RKO on Seth the heist of the century and Cena and Bryan became mid card champs to elevate the rest of the mid card huge.
1.

That's my list have a great day guys and gals.
I always enjoy listening and learning how different WWE pay-per-view played out and the different experiences the WWE fan base has watching.
I love the fact that these are very personal lists, it gives insight to the reasons for the choices, it also avoids these lists being very similar to all other slightly more objective lists made on wrestling UA-cam.
Happy to hear some love for WM 24. That was my first WM too!
I love watching these every week! You should do top 10 overrated/underrated wrestlers or title reigns
love the consistency of this show its great to see it in my feed so often
No one:
Absolutely no one at all:
Tempest: *_CHAIRS_*
This is my new favorite series already! I def would’ve had Survivor Series 2002 on my list
Would be interesting to see a "B" level list. Yes, the big 4(5 with MITB now) and many of the international shows are great because of their venues. But shows like No Mercy 2002, aforementioned Backlash 2000, No Way Out 2008, TLC 2012... I'm sure there are more that I've forgotten, but still could be fun with that constraint.
Great idea. Some other bangers: No Way Out 2001 & 2009, Backlash 1999 & 2023, No Mercy 2000 & 2008, Vengeance 2005, Extreme Rules 2012, Clash at the Castle 2022 if it counts
A top 10 match stipulations would definitely be interesting
May have just watched that intro 5 times over. Love you guys, keep up the great work you do!

Every one of Pete’s seems to be “the first one I ever watched with friends” 😂😂
Woof! The final Top 10 by Borda Count (10 pts for 1st, 9 for 2nd, etc.) has several one-vote nominees, including one that outranked something all three of them voted in! (Thanks, Luke. j/k)
1) Wrestlemania 17 (27)
2) Money In The Bank 2011 (19)
2) Clash At The Castle (19)
4) Royal Rumble 2001 (13)
5) Summerslam 2002 (12)
6) Backlash 2000 (10)
7) Wrestlemania 31 (9)
8) ECW One Night Stand 2005 (8)
8) Wrestlemania 24 (8)
10) Wrestlemania 30 (7)
Wrestlemania 17 will forever be the daddy of wrestling PPV's. There's much better shows out there, but no wrestling event has ever embodied how I view quality wrestling better than that show - edgy, corny, unpredictable, fast paced, electric atmosphere, great characters all over the card, etc... it's quite simply a fun time. The perfect love letter to the Attitude Era!
A bit sad there's no NXT Takeover here but really solid choices.
At a point where the main roster was absolutely terrible most of the time, I loved NXT Takeovers so much.
- Takeover: Philadelphia for the fantastic Gargano vs Andrade match and also Black vs Cole
- TakeOver: New Orleans for the amazing North American Championship Ladder Match and Ciampa vs Gargano
- TakeOver: War Games 2018, Pete Dunne, Ricochet, & War Raiders vs Undisputed Era is my favourite War Games match ever
And there are so much more, the NXT Black & Gold era was what kept me hooked on wrestling.
No SummerSlam 2000? No Rumble 2000? Damn you guys forgetting how great 2000 was (except Luke). I have this feeling Pete has never seen anything before 2011.
Wrestlemania 17 is the Michael Jordan of WWE pay per views. No matter what anyone says it’s the goat 😂
Tempest, I was ALSO at Survivor Series 2016, it was a fun night for sure!
This has become my favorite thing every week.
Need best/worst finishers list and The Greatest Tag Teams of all time
Love these lists, but the first 15 seconds of this episode are just simple wholesome gold. These guys have the best fun.
This is a really great series. Don’t mind Tempest being a main fixture as the 3rd man bruther of course would like to see others in the middle seat
Battleground 2016 is the first ppv I had watched since 2000 and I rewatch it every year it's just so good
I'm late to adding my own contribution, but I have to on my rewatch.
I had basically stopped watching wrestling when a local movie theater started showing WWE PPVs, starting with Wrestlemania 21. I loved that show, MitB, the elevation of Cena and Batista, Orton vs Undertaker, Angle vs Michaels, Rey vs Eddie.
Made a fan out of me once again, I had to see what happened next
No way out 2001 was brilliant
This has become my favorite series on here!
Fully Loaded 2000 deserves a shout. Every match was good to fantastic. It was absolutely solid
That intro was great lol
Topics:
Best 10 WWF PPV Main Events
Worst 10 WWF PPVS
I started watching WWE in late 2014 through youtube, my first WrestleMania was 31 it holds something special to me.
Wrestlemania XX is the first time I watched with my father and cousins and that will always be special to me. Seeing Benoit get that cross-face actually got me
RR 23, Elimination Chamber 23, WM 39 is best run of ppvs I think
Love these!!
King Of The Ring 1998 would be on my list. While the vast majority of the fans only remember the HIAC match, up and down the card was pretty damn good.
I wish I had friends like this to watch wrestling with and talk about wrestling with. none of my friends enjoy wrestling.
I’d really like a takeover list!
For me, Wrestlemania 33 will always be one of my favorite ppvs It was my first time ever watching wrestling, and it was just magical to watch it
Seeing tempest wearing Blue Jays merch for these videos brings back the pain of that wild card series
would love to see TLC with AEW ppvs as well as the takeovers one
I just love how almost half of Pete’s responses start with “I was super drunk” 😂
This may have been my favourite episode if WT content for a while, and i love all your sruff. Just especially like this one. On my third watch 😂👍
A couple topics I would love to see you discuss in a future video for this series, top 10 NXT matches/events, I think there’s enough to do a top ten Takeover events, I personally would say matches. Top ten underrated wrestlers, from NXT, WWE, and maybe even ECW performers who don’t get the recognition they deserve. Top ten wrestling finishers. Also I would love to see a Survival Series listing every WWE Tag Team champion, with the exception being that all competitors have a secret partner, which ever team says the most answers combined, moves on to a tie breaker match with the history of WWE Tag Team Championship as the way to determine the winner.
The build up to Backlash 2000 main event was crazy. The story of the Mcmahon-Helmsley regime vs 1 man (The Rock) and a rumoured potential appearance from their old nemesis (Stone Cold) as his ally. 95% of the way through the match, The Rock who has had the absolute snot kicked out of him by everyone in the regime including Brisco and Patterson, refusing to lose. The glass shatters, the crowd explodes and Stone Cold marches down to the ring with a steel chair to unload 8 months worth of justice on the regime. He does his thing, leaves and The Rock pins HHH in the middle of the ring with Earl Hebner counting the fall.
I would also add that the RAW the following day was probably one of the best "go home episodes ever". Rock vs Shane in a cage with the regime outside.
I really enjoy this series Id love to see WCW ones (I’m WCW mark)
My number 1 has been Canadian Stampede for a very long time. Wrestlemania 20 is right up there as well.
A lot of the same PPVs would of been on my list, but one that was missed, and on mine would be Royal Rumble 2016. My friends would vouch that I would react and mark out here and there, but RR2016 that made me feel like a little kid. Mainly because AJ Freaking Styles debuted. My favorite non WWE wrestler at the time debut on my favorite PPV, in my favorite style match. I literally think my heart skipped when it happened. My friend as soon as the first shirt went on sale had bought it for me as he knew how impactful that debut was for me in the modern era for WWE.
And like you guys were saying some of the best PPVs are some of the ones you got to watch with your friends and family even though they might be bad, or like 1/2 card event. But they will always be memorable.
Wrestlemania 31 would be a perfect 10/10 show if Sting beat Triple H at WM 31. WM 30 is easily the most overrated show that people only remember the opening match, the streak ending, and the ending of the show. The rest of WM30 is pretty boring, Wyatt vs Cena fell flat, The Outlaws and Kane vs The shield was crap, the Vickie Guerrero open invitation sucked, The andre the giant battle royal was mid outside of Cesaro winning.
But, I don't think any pay per views will be above WM17 and WM19.
I always think the 2000 Royal rumble gets overlooked because of the 2001 rumble being so good.
2000 is legit great too though, the Debut of Tazz, the bonkers table match between the Hardy's and Dudley's, a solid rumble and probably the greatest street fight/no holds barred match the WWE have ever put on. Such a great show
Please do the greatest ppv main event matches ever
One of the best introductions ever of this series! Chairs!! Chairs and!
'Mania 24 is definitely my number 1.
Was it a perfect show? No... But WrestleMania 21 should be an honorable mention.... The ascension of Cena and Batista, Ortom vs Taker elevating and making the streak more significant of a thing, the first ever Money in the bank match, an awesome Angle/Shawn match
For my top 10:
1. Wrestlemania 17
2. Survivor Series 2017
3. Royal Rumble 2020
4. ECW One Night Stand 2005
5. Wrestlemania 19
6. Survivor Series 2000
7. Royal Rumble 2001
8. Money in the Bank 2011
9. No Mercy 1999
10. Summerslam 2013
Summerslam 02 is my number #1, the card was great, no bad matches. HBK return & Brock’s crowning
Man... So many shows to go and watch on the network now! Thanks!!!
You should do your top 10 favorite Intercontinental Championship matches of all time!
I half expected Oli to appear during the intro gag to shout "IN WINNIPEG!" when it was time to cap the name of the show.
In defence of Payback 2023, it had the awesome Becky vs Trish cage match and the fun tag team brawl between Sami & KO and Judgment Day
I'd be interested to see a top 10 of Non-WWE PPVs
The rankings were kinda all over the place with this one, but I enjoyed the fact that all three guys had some variety in their own personal Top Ten lists. Anyway, the numbers varied greatly as a result, but here are the Top Three:
In Third Place with 13 points: Royal Rumble 2001.
In Second Place with 19 points: it's a tie between Money in the Bank 2011 and Clash at the Castle 2022.
And in First Place with a grand total of 27 points: WrestleMania X-Seven.
1. WrestleMania X7
2. WrestleMania 39
3. WrestleMania XIX
4. Survivor Series 2002
5. WrestleMania 35
6. SummerSlam 2002
7. Evolution
8. Hell in a Cell 2020
9. Royal Rumble 2017
10. Money in the Bank 2013
Personally I was there for 2 of the 3 events (WrestleMania 39 and MITB 2013) and hot damn both shows were fun in many ways. Can’t lie Pandemic wrestling was super fun and that’s why HIAC 2020 Is on here and then everything else just was historic in all kinds of ways.
Come on!
- Canadian Stanpede??
- Summerslam 1992?
Two of the best ever!
Agreed, these guys are too young i guess 😂
That In Your House: Canadian Stampede wasn't on anyone's list is shameful. It's without question the number 2 PPV of all-time behind Wrestlemania 17
Rumble 2000 deserved a nod as well.
20000%. Waaaaayyy too much personal recency bias in this epi. How did only one guy have Blacklash 2000… insanely dumb epi.
10 best Stone Cold moments would be fun.
Really loving this as a weekly vid. Let's go top 10 womens wrestlers next!
Here is a list of personal favorites hard for me to do a "best" list
1. Wrestlemania 26 - Taker vs HBK favorite mania match ever Cena vs Batista and Jericho vs Edge were both awesome title matches then throw in Punk vs Rey Triple H vs Sheamus and a MITB match very underrated show (also year I graduated and we had a huge watch party so very memorable)
2. Wrestlemania 22 - Special for me because my great grandma and my grandpa are huge wrestling fans as well as my brothers at the time and it was the last mania we all got to watch together plus my brothers all time favorite is Rey so seeing him happy over his title win was also great
3. Wrestlemania 23 - Best MITB match as well as 2 epic world title matches with Cena vs HBK and Taker vs Batista
4. Royal Rumble 2007 - Best last man standing match ever with Cena vs Umaga and best final 2 in a rumble maybe ever with Taker and Shawn
5. Royal Rumble 2017 - Cena vs Styles (favorite match of all time) Owens vs Reigns was awesome one of the better garbage matches and that Rumble was so unpredictable
6. Extreme Rules 2012 - Cena vs Lesnar Bryan vs Sheamus and Punk vs Jericho were all fantastic
7. Unforgiven 2006 - We had a TLC and a Hell In The Cell match on a B level PPV enough said lol
8. No Mercy 2008 - Jericho vs HBK (favorite ladder match ever) HHH vs Hardy (favorite singles match of triple h's career for me)
9. Wrestlemania 31 - Best MITB cash in Sting vs HHH was epic and both midcard title matches over delivered
10. Survivor Series 2009 - Really enjoyed both world title matches and both elimination matches (If the Cena vs DX triple threat happened at mania it would be talked about more easily my favorite WWE triple threat) but the TNA Unbreakable 3 way between AJ, Joe and Daniels will always be my fave lol
You had me at the intro 😂😂😂
I’m being biased as i was there, but Clash at the Castle would be my number 1. The in-ring action is fantastic, Gunther v Sheamus is all the stars and the atmosphere for Roman v Drew is on another level.
I can't remember if there as a top 10 best Royal Rumbles, but that would be an interesting discussion.

More Disco Tempferno please and thank you.
I was lucky enough to be at WM X7 in Houston and WM 6 & X8 in Toronto, they rank up there in the most awesome live events Ive attended over 36 years as a wresting fan!
I could watch that intro on loop forever xD. Was wondering if one of ya'll would break out "And Stairs!"
My favorite pay per view wwe put out is royal rumble 2017 .. was a huge John cena fan when I was younger and a huge aj styles as a kid and to see them fight over the wwe championship at 20 years old made me feel like a kid again.. it was really special to me .. there match at summer slam 2016 was amazing to .. also Randy winning was great cause everyone thought for sure Roman was winning it was just a nice surprise
Unforgiven 2006. Edge vs Cena. Trish v Lita, Nitro v Jeff, that RKO spot with Carlito and even that handicap match between DX v Vince, Shane and Show was fun as fuck.
