I still have a soft spot for No Way Out 2009. Two fantastic Chamber matches punctuated by one of Edge's best heel moves (and him producing the greatest reaction gif in pro wrestling history in the process) plus Orton/Shane in a No Holds Barred match was great and HBK/JBL was pretty good too. Swagger vs. Finlay for the ECW title... happened. That's all I'll say.
Was about to comment this. It had a mixed middle show but the opener and main event more than made up for it. and honestly Amateur Wrestler Jack Swagger vs Veteran Fit Finlay isn't the worst match the dying ECW brand could have put on there.
I totally second this as almost every match on the card was solid (Umaga, Shane & a doo-rag wearing Vince vs. Lashley for the ECW Title being the only exception).
I remember when I was 10 in late 2002 and my Nanna took me in town to buy me a Christmas present so we went in HMV and what did I pick but the No Mercy 2002 DVD! Still to this day have it. Great ppv
@@FreeThinkAlways i had this on dvd too! im pretty sure i also got it from HMV too! either that or woolworths but i went home and watched it like 3 times, it also had RVD vs ric flair when flair done like a front flip up the turnbuckle 😂👍 it always has a special place in my heart no mercy 2002 and it seems to be mentioned all the time for all kinds of things, evven undertaker and kane sitting in the locker room when undertaker asked kane how his week has been 😂 wwe used to be soo special man it really took a nosedive
This list deserves a sequel, imo, as it's difficult to nail down just ten solid WWE B-Show PPV's. With that said, honorable mentions to shows like No Way Out '01, No Mercy '01, Vengeance '03, Backlash '07 and Money in the Bank '11.
They’re not “nailing down just 10 ‘solid’ b show ppvs” they’re counting down the 10 best…. Hope this helps explain as to why there were only 10 of them… 🤡🤡🤡
Good selection. Another underrated B-PPV is Vengeance 2003. Cena vs Taker & Brock vs Angle vs Show were superb. Oh and we got Eddie vs Benoit & World’s Greatest Tag Team vs Kidman & Rey Mysterio.
Vengeance 2005 often gets overlooked due to the smaller stage.The Hell in a Cell match between HHH and Batista should have been the WM 21 match it was brutal and definitely one of the top 5 hell in a cell Matches of all time
No Mercy 2016 was the first that came to mind. The Ziggler/Miz match was one of my fave matches the last decade. And the WWE title match was the opener.
It may just be my personal bias being there live, but Clash at the Castle absolutely deserves a shout on a list like this. Consistently great with a genuine 5 star classic.
dont forget RVD vs ric flair was also a match at no mercy 2002! a single ppv had tajiri, ric flair, RVD, lesnar, undertaker, edge, triple H, kurt angle, rey mysterio, eddie guererro, chris benoit, kane and tori wilson.. the pop they get when they have just 1 of these at an event now is unbelievable
Unforgiven 2006 was a great show, and was a good case study of WWE stacking a show with a Hell in a Cell match, a TLC match and a retirement match all in the same night that made sense, without the stipulations feeling shoe-horned in to a certain month every year. And other than ECW Champion Big Show, it was a brand-exclusive show, proving the concept could work if they put the effort in and they didn't need every show to feature people from Raw AND Smackdown.
My favorite B-Show was judgement day 2001. I had it on DVD and would watch it litterally all the time. It had a fun Tag Team Turmoil An Awesome 2 out 3 Falls Match with Beniot and Angle. Chyna vs Lita in an underrated women's match of the era. A good double main event with Trips vs Kane And Taker vs Stone Cold. Just a fun event all around
Backlash 2007. Six matches - with titles on the line. Some of the booking could have been better, but the matches were all good to excellent as far as in-ring work goes. And the ending to the main event is an all-time sequence
The “popped that one guy in a camp t-shirt really hard” sent me. They use that image in almost every video package and that guy wears the SAME EXACT shirt to every event now. I always pick him out of the crowd on TV and even at WWE & AEW wrestling events I attend live in my town 😂
Very good list. Here are some that might have made the cut: No Way Out 2009 No Way Out 2001 One Night Stand 2008 No Mercy 2007 No Mercy 2016 Battleground 2016 Extreme Rules 2016
My favorite tag match all time was a TLC match with the Dudley Boyz, Edge and Christian, and the Hardy Boyz triple threat Tag match for the Tag Team Titles
Thank you for putting Backlash 2000 at number 1, it really is. I remember in 2000 I was on holiday and wasn't watching any tv and by the time I got back home it was the go-home Raw and SD for Fully Loaded 2000, and I was transfixed, it felt like I had been a lapsed wrestling fan and just tuned in again and everything was so chaotic and different, when it had only been 3 weeks. I was extremely excited for it and during it I was thrilled too. The main event angle was my favourite but the other main events, Rikishi jumping off the cage and Trish and Lita being especially brutal to each other in that 6 person tag were high on my list. And Perry Saturn was in my boy stable too so was happy to see him capture gold, and hear his awesome new theme tune.
I only watched WWF (It's real name) from 1998 to 2007, so here are mine. 1. Judgement Day 2000 2. Vengeance 2005 3. One Night Stand 2006 4. One Night Stand 2005 5. No Mercy 2002 6. No Mercy 1999 7. Fully Loaded 2000 8. No Mercy 2001 9. No Way Out 2001 10. Backlash 2000
Um you forgot to mention the triple threat wwe title match at vengeance 2005 with Cena, Jericho and Christian which was a classic in my honest opinion.
Glad to see Canadian Stampede on the list. Classic PPV for sure. Not surprised many of the ones in this list were from the Ruthless Aggression era too.
Thanks a lot for doing this greatwork :) always interestign top I would love to see matches ranked from worst to best of other big 4 PPVS than Wrestlemania but I know it took colossal work and time!
Here are some events that have soft spots to me: 1. Vengeance 2002 (The Rock/Angle/Taker triple threat for the WWE Title was a superb closing to a pretty good card) 2. No Way Out 2004 (Eddie Guererro winning the WWE Title is still one of the most wholesome scenes in WWE history) 3. Armageddon 2008 (An incredible sendoff to this PPV series with Jeff Hardy finally seizing the WWE Title) 4. Bragging Rights 2009 (That 60 Minute Ironman Match between Cena and Orton is the perfect end to a good event like this) 5. TLC 2009 (Sheamus emerged as a legitimate threat to the WWE when he bested John Cena) 6. NXT Takeover: R Evolution 2014 (Yes, I'm including NXT in these, shut up. Anyways, Sami Zayn finally winning the big one and Kevin Owens' arrival and shocking betrayal make this one for me) 7. Elimination Chamber 2019 (Pretty much the birth of Kofimania, leading to his well-deserved run as WWE Champion) 8. NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 (All 6 matches were great in their own regard, but it's Io Shirai finally capturing the NXT Women's Title that makes me happy)
Evolution was such a good ppv. My only nitpicks were that I think Becky vs Charlotte should have gone on last and the Bayszler needed help to beat Kairi despite being presented as a dominant heel prior, which is why I think her first run with the title was better even though it wasn't that long. I was a little sad Toni vs Io wasn't given that big of a slate of time, but they made full use of the time they had and I think Toni deserved the win even though I was cheering for Io. Also it was nice to see Lita, Mickie, and Trish compete as well considering they were basically the three biggest women stars of their time
Unforgiven 2006 is really great but I cannot believe you didn't mention one of the best RKOs ever, that was done to Carlito. One of the first real out of nowheres
One of my favorites is Breakdown 1998. You had Edge vs Owen to jerk the curtain and it was solid. You had a really good match between D-Lo and Gangrel of all people for the Euro title. You had an amazing triple threat cage match between Rock, Shamrock, and Mankind, where Mankind gave the wonderful "sugar coated testes" promo. There was a great match (albeit with a stupid storyline) between Val Venis and Dustin Runnels. And the main event had Austin vs Kane vs Taker with one of the most unusual cliffhanging enders I can remember.
Awesome, I was there at No Mercy 2002. Went with my brother and it was my first ever ppv live event after almost 15 years of being a fan. Anytime WWE, and now AEW, is in Arkansas, at Simmons Bank Arena, they call it Little Rock (the capital) but its actually North Little Rock. There's a river that divides the two cities but Little Rock sounds better. Anyways funny story about getting tickets to that show....I remember this smelly lady with a tank top who was behind us in line all night, and we overheard her saying she was there to see Kevin Nash at an in-arena meet and greet and that she took a greyhound bus overnight from Tulsa, Oklahoma to get there. After we got out tickets, we were driving off and saw the same lady walking to our nearby greyhound bus stop. I think she actually took a greyhound over night, saw Big Sexy, and left via greyhound to go back to Tulsa. She wanted Big D for sure. Oh and if you stop the video at 4:02 and look to the far left, about 5 rows up, you'll see a guy in a white shirt, Im the guy one row up with a grey hoodie.
Great list! My one addition would be Vengeance 2003. I believe top to bottom, that was a great show. From Eddie winning the the US title, the tag match between Rey & Billy Kidman vs World's Greatest Tag Team and the main event Triple Threat for the WWE Title, Angle, Big Show and Lesnar - all great!
My favourites Vengeance 2003 Backlash 2009 Extreme rules 2012 Vengeance 2005 Backlash 2008 Judgment day 2006 No mercy 2008 Backlash 2007 No way out 2009 Clash at the castle 2022 No way out 2006 (it happened on my 10th birthday) Backlash 2016 Unforgiven 2006 Tlc 2016 Backlash 2004 Extreme rules 2011 Backlash 2008 One night stand 2008 In case you haven’t picked up on it yes I like backlash unfortunately I haven’t seen backlash 2000 or 2001
Just about to start the video and Backlash 2004 should make the cut. If we're including In Your House events, the Canadian Stampede should feature also. EDIT - Surprised at the former missing out, but glad the second didn't. Also, kudos to having Backlash 2000 and the awesome finish to 2 Hotty vs. Malenko.
You forgot Judgment Day 2000. The debut of the "American Badass" Undertaker and the classic 60-Minute Iron Man match between Triple H and The Rock were just a couple of the highlights of this B-show.
all the buildup in the world for Austin's entrance at Backlash 2000, like the whole show is revolving around it because it's the only way The Rock has a chance, right? and then Austin's whole part is like.. three minutes. the glass breaks, he delivers like half a dozen chair shots to various people, and then he leaves. three minutes of solid Austin and it's the GREATEST
I think extreme rules 2014 deserves a honorable mention as it didn’t really promote or forward any huge stories but it was one of the best paper views in terms of match quality. Paired with 2015 and 16 I think these three years of extreme rules were truly when the event had a meaning
I've also got to give a shout out to No Mercy 2008 which culminated in the incredible one-two punch of Triple H vs. Hardy and the HBK vs. Jericho ladder match for the title.
The fact that chris benoit appeared so many times in this list proves that he was one of the best ever to do it He could've been a hall of famer if he did not do what he did to himself and his family But I will miss his matches tho R.I.P
Considering Vince's well known hatred for tag team wrestling, how they actually built an entire PPV around tag team wrestling like Survivor Series is a mystery that will never be solved.
On top of the 10 in this video I also recommend: Backlash 1999, Judgment Day 2000, No Way Out 2001, No Mercy 2001, Judgment Day 2002, Vengeance 2003, Backlash 2004, Bad Blood 2004,No Way Out 2006, Armageddon 2006, Backlash 2007, Cyber Sunday 2007, No Mercy 2008, No Way Out 2009, Battleground 2016
Do one-off pay-per-views like the ones where they just did one of them I would love to see where Balls of Fire ranks because it had some really good matches
No Way Out 2001 deserved to be on this list, and possibly at the top spot.
Just for Steve Austin being hit in the head with a can of beer
That was much better than Fully Loaded 2000 IMO
Forgot a banger triple threat between Cena Jericho and Christian at Vengeance 05 too!
I haven’t seen that show I’m here looking for more to watch from that era and it seems like vengeance 05 is a must see and that match just sold me!
Nobody refers to that match as a banger ...
Stupid word
@@TheBlindEye90 irony or are u old
Yeah, it's weird they forgot that, considering it was the second to last match on the card.
I still have a soft spot for No Way Out 2009. Two fantastic Chamber matches punctuated by one of Edge's best heel moves (and him producing the greatest reaction gif in pro wrestling history in the process) plus Orton/Shane in a No Holds Barred match was great and HBK/JBL was pretty good too. Swagger vs. Finlay for the ECW title... happened. That's all I'll say.

I was there it was a great show!
Backlash 2007 deserves a mention. Cena vs HBK vs Edge vs Orton and Undertaker vs Batista last man standing match was awesome!
I totally second this as almost every match on the card was solid (Umaga, Shane & a doo-rag wearing Vince vs. Lashley for the ECW Title being the only exception).
Taker vs Batista rivalry was amazing imo
No Mercy 02 is one of my favorite early wrestling memories. The tag match and Hell in a Cell match are absolute classics.
was that Triple H and Cactus Jack?
@@travisrochelle4499 Lesnar and Taker.
That tag championship match might have be the greatest tag championship match ever in WWE
I remember when I was 10 in late 2002 and my Nanna took me in town to buy me a Christmas present so we went in HMV and what did I pick but the No Mercy 2002 DVD! Still to this day have it. Great ppv

Money in the Bank isn't a B-Level Show.
They’re not “nailing down just 10 ‘solid’ b show ppvs” they’re counting down the 10 best…. Hope this helps explain as to why there were only 10 of them… 🤡🤡🤡
They're done this list before.
@@onuoraawesome7777 Before 2021 or 2022 it was.
Back in my day, Vengance, No Way Out, No Mercy and Unforgiven always lived up to their names
Don't forget Armageddon and Bad Blood
True mine too
@@djtrankilo231 Armageddon 2000 was one of the most amazing ppvs of all time that wasn't a big 4.
Good selection. Another underrated B-PPV is Vengeance 2003. Cena vs Taker & Brock vs Angle vs Show were superb. Oh and we got Eddie vs Benoit & World’s Greatest Tag Team vs Kidman & Rey Mysterio.
The APA bar fight was fun to watch.
ECW One Night Stand 2005 is my favourite PPV.
I got it on DVD when I was 10 in 2006 and I was blown away, I absolutely loved it.
hands down is one of the best nurse uncut ppv’s wwe did. Wish they had ECW around but for a late night show not during wake hours lol
Vengeance 2005 often gets overlooked due to the smaller stage.The Hell in a Cell match between HHH and Batista should have been the WM 21 match it was brutal and definitely one of the top 5 hell in a cell Matches of all time
Backlash 2000 was one of the best B shows. It really made up for Wrestlemania 2000 not being so great. It’s my favorite B show of all time.
*It says so much that most of the shows on this list are from the 2000 - 2007 era. What a great period for wrestling and sports entertainment* 👏
Can we please appreciate the automatic subtitles turning "met inside Hell in a Cell" to "met inside Helen herself"
No Mercy 2016 was the first that came to mind. The Ziggler/Miz match was one of my fave matches the last decade. And the WWE title match was the opener.
Literally just commented this. That PPV was so good
Miz vs Ziggler had no right to be that good!
@@missmoanypants I loved their feud they stole the show at no mercy
No Way Out 2001 deserves an honourable mention! Love the list videos...keep em coming!
I'd personally swap that with backlash 01
Backlash 01 doesn’t get enough love among the internet community
Honourable mention..outside of Mania 17 its arguably the best ppv wwe have done..miles ahead of backlash 2000
Wait.. No Way Out 2001 wasn't here?
It may just be my personal bias being there live, but Clash at the Castle absolutely deserves a shout on a list like this. Consistently great with a genuine 5 star classic.
No No Way Out 2001? That show was so good!
Fun Fact: Edge actually wrestled while having a bad case of the Flu at No Mercy 2002. To me that makes the match even better to appreciate.
dont forget RVD vs ric flair was also a match at no mercy 2002! a single ppv had tajiri, ric flair, RVD, lesnar, undertaker, edge, triple H, kurt angle, rey mysterio, eddie guererro, chris benoit, kane and tori wilson.. the pop they get when they have just 1 of these at an event now is unbelievable
Unforgiven 2006 was a great show, and was a good case study of WWE stacking a show with a Hell in a Cell match, a TLC match and a retirement match all in the same night that made sense, without the stipulations feeling shoe-horned in to a certain month every year. And other than ECW Champion Big Show, it was a brand-exclusive show, proving the concept could work if they put the effort in and they didn't need every show to feature people from Raw AND Smackdown.
That Women’s Evolution PPV was one of the best shows all year
My favorite B-Show was judgement day 2001. I had it on DVD and would watch it litterally all the time.
It had a fun Tag Team Turmoil
An Awesome 2 out 3 Falls Match with Beniot and Angle.
Chyna vs Lita in an underrated women's match of the era.
A good double main event with Trips vs Kane
And Taker vs Stone Cold.
Just a fun event all around
I never knew that ECW One Night Stand 2005 took place on April 29th, 2001.
Canadian Stampede was awesome. I loved that show from beginning to end; and recorded the whole the on VHS. :)
Backlash 2007. Six matches - with titles on the line. Some of the booking could have been better, but the matches were all good to excellent as far as in-ring work goes. And the ending to the main event is an all-time sequence
2006 Unforgiven was really good
Came here for Fully Loaded 2000 and was not disappointed.
I really expected Backlash 2016 to be on here. It was a pretty good show from what i remember.
The “popped that one guy in a camp t-shirt really hard” sent me. They use that image in almost every video package and that guy wears the SAME EXACT shirt to every event now. I always pick him out of the crowd on TV and even at WWE & AEW wrestling events I attend live in my town 😂
Very good list. Here are some that might have made the cut:
No Way Out 2009
No Way Out 2001
One Night Stand 2008
No Mercy 2007
No Mercy 2016
Battleground 2016
Extreme Rules 2016
My favorite tag match all time was a TLC match with the Dudley Boyz, Edge and Christian, and the Hardy Boyz triple threat Tag match for the Tag Team Titles
Unforgiven 06 was a banger
That Dutchess of Queensbury Rules Match is brilliant and I will not accept any discouraging words about it.
Thank you for putting Backlash 2000 at number 1, it really is. I remember in 2000 I was on holiday and wasn't watching any tv and by the time I got back home it was the go-home Raw and SD for Fully Loaded 2000, and I was transfixed, it felt like I had been a lapsed wrestling fan and just tuned in again and everything was so chaotic and different, when it had only been 3 weeks.

6. No Mercy 1999

No Way Out 2001 belongs somewhere on this list
Honorable Mention: Clash at the Castle
honorable mentions imo:
Vengeance 2003, Backlash 2009, TLC 2016, No Way Out 2001
Backlash 2000 was the first time I ever watched wrestling and I've been hooked ever since
No Mercy 2008 was also a great b-show ppv 👌
Great ladder match and the end of one of the best feuds of the 2000s!
Vengeance 2005 made the whole WWE roster step up after ECW One Night Stand slapped the month prior lol
Armageddon 2006 is one of my favorite PPV’s.
Battleground 2016 and Vengeance 02 should be on this list
Um you forgot to mention the triple threat wwe title match at vengeance 2005 with Cena, Jericho and Christian which was a classic in my honest opinion.
Payback 2013 I feel is underrated. Punk return in Chicago against Jericho was great, Ziggler and Del Rio double turn was done very well.
Glad to see Canadian Stampede on the list. Classic PPV for sure. Not surprised many of the ones in this list were from the Ruthless Aggression era too.
I will never forget Vengenance 2005 One of my fav PPVs of all time
Last man standing with rock big show Austin and I forgot someone else in Anaheim Honda center was my favorite. Almost 2 hour match
Fantastic work as always, Adam!
Good video. Brings back lots of good memories.
Thanks a lot for doing this greatwork :) always interestign top I would love to see matches ranked from worst to best of other big 4 PPVS than Wrestlemania but I know it took colossal work and time!
Here are some events that have soft spots to me:

I live in Vegas and was at Vengeance 2005. Great show!
Amd 3 of these entries had hell in a cell matches. Cool
Unforgiven 2006 is really great but I cannot believe you didn't mention one of the best RKOs ever, that was done to Carlito. One of the first real out of nowheres
11:33 bet Bubba enjoyed that powerbomb😂
One of my favorites is Breakdown 1998.
You had Edge vs Owen to jerk the curtain and it was solid. You had a really good match between D-Lo and Gangrel of all people for the Euro title. You had an amazing triple threat cage match between Rock, Shamrock, and Mankind, where Mankind gave the wonderful "sugar coated testes" promo. There was a great match (albeit with a stupid storyline) between Val Venis and Dustin Runnels. And the main event had Austin vs Kane vs Taker with one of the most unusual cliffhanging enders I can remember.
I feel like the fact that the Y2J v HHH match at Fully Loaded 2000 is maybe the best last man standing match WWE ever put on should be mentioned
1:10 really does an injustice to Bum-The-Sky Guy. He paid good money to be treated as a hero.
Awesome, I was there at No Mercy 2002. Went with my brother and it was my first ever ppv live event after almost 15 years of being a fan. Anytime WWE, and now AEW, is in Arkansas, at Simmons Bank Arena, they call it Little Rock (the capital) but its actually North Little Rock. There's a river that divides the two cities but Little Rock sounds better. Anyways funny story about getting tickets to that show....I remember this smelly lady with a tank top who was behind us in line all night, and we overheard her saying she was there to see Kevin Nash at an in-arena meet and greet and that she took a greyhound bus overnight from Tulsa, Oklahoma to get there.

That Unforgiven Hell in a Cell Match of Dx Vs Big show and the McMahon's has a special place In my heart
I would have thought Backlash 04 would have made the list, Cactus Jack vs Randy Orton and the Wrestlemania XX main event rematch anyone?
Hmmm.. I didn't know ECW One Night Stand 2005 took place on April 29, 2001. 8:58
Vengeance 2002 was a banger. Just starting video so hoping it's on here..Judgement Day 2004 was dope too.
I really like the Bash 09! Mysterio vs Jericho is a classic
No Way Out , Backlash , Vengeance Unforgiven , Armaggedon etc are interesting ppvs
Honestly I miss them they are way better than the Gimmick PPV's hope Papa H brings a few of them back especially No Way Out
Great list! My one addition would be Vengeance 2003. I believe top to bottom, that was a great show. From Eddie winning the the US title, the tag match between Rey & Billy Kidman vs World's Greatest Tag Team and the main event Triple Threat for the WWE Title, Angle, Big Show and Lesnar - all great!

Backlash 2000 and Unforgiven 2005 are my favourite "B-show" PPV's. Both entertaining shows from top to bottom!
Vengeance 2005 also had a solid triple threat match for the wwe title. Cena vs Jericho vs Christian
I’m from Arkansas. I can’t believe we were graced with No Mercy 2002 but I was like 8 and I didn’t want to go for some reason 😭😫😔
personally, I fondly remember No Mercy '08 - the HBK/Jericho ladder match and HHH/Jeff Hardy is a wild one-two punch
Back in the attitude Era these PPV were equal if not better then the big 4's.
all the buildup in the world for Austin's entrance at Backlash 2000, like the whole show is revolving around it because it's the only way The Rock has a chance, right?
and then Austin's whole part is like.. three minutes. the glass breaks, he delivers like half a dozen chair shots to various people, and then he leaves. three minutes of solid Austin and it's the GREATEST
I was in attendance for Backlash 2000. The main event still sticks with me to this day
YESSSS BACKLASH 01!!! Gosh that’s such an underrated ppv. Absolutely love it from beginning to end!
Shoutout to No Way Out 2009. 2 amazing elimination chamber matches with the overarching Edge heel story. Vengeance 2003 was also really good.
Benoit and angle was a terrifying tag team.
I think extreme rules 2014 deserves a honorable mention as it didn’t really promote or forward any huge stories but it was one of the best paper views in terms of match quality. Paired with 2015 and 16 I think these three years of extreme rules were truly when the event had a meaning
Speaking of Evolution, I'm still pissed off that Toni Storm never got a proper chance to truly shine in WWE.
I've also got to give a shout out to No Mercy 2008 which culminated in the incredible one-two punch of Triple H vs. Hardy and the HBK vs. Jericho ladder match for the title.
Not a bad list. I'd probably have Judgment Day 2000 and Vengeance 2003 instead of Backlash 2001 and Evolution.
new years revolution 2006 better be on here
The fact that chris benoit appeared so many times in this list proves that he was one of the best ever to do it
He could've been a hall of famer if he did not do what he did to himself and his family
But I will miss his matches tho
R.I.P
Back in the days, attitudes and RA days every PPV felt like wrestlemania!
I remember having vengeance 2005 on dvd and consistently rewatching
Vengeance and New Year’s resolution was always my 2 favorites
I like how ECW One Night Stand 2005 took place in 2001
Considering Vince's well known hatred for tag team wrestling, how they actually built an entire PPV around tag team wrestling like Survivor Series is a mystery that will never be solved.
When someone asks what the greatest b show is, my immediate thought is always vengeance 2003.
On top of the 10 in this video I also recommend: Backlash 1999, Judgment Day 2000, No Way Out 2001, No Mercy 2001, Judgment Day 2002, Vengeance 2003, Backlash 2004, Bad Blood 2004,No Way Out 2006, Armageddon 2006, Backlash 2007, Cyber Sunday 2007, No Mercy 2008, No Way Out 2009, Battleground 2016
Armageddon 06 was an amazing show
Inferno match , fatal 4 ladder match last ride match.
Vengeance 2005 had another Title match on it Cena/Jericho/Christian
No Way Out 2001 not even making the list while Backlash 2001 was #4 was a massive miscalculation.
No Way Out 2000 gets slept on too much
Do one-off pay-per-views like the ones where they just did one of them I would love to see where Balls of Fire ranks because it had some really good matches
And a great name to match.
