Alright guys, I came up with a quick, preliminary list...go through it, we need to expand here...if I overrated one of them, let me know.

 

[Dan The Man]

Get WrestleMania 17 on there RIGHT MEOW.

 

[EmpireWF]

Everything after 07 ROH and before 05 is vague to me. I came up with this list

and GBHVN2 was 2006 larry

ROH
Punk: The Final Chapter (2005)
Joe vs. Kobashi (2005)
Final Battle 2005 (2005)
Hell Freezes Over (2006)
Supercard of Honor (2006)
The 100th Show (2006)

Unified (2006)
Final Battle 2006 (2006)
Supercard of Honor II (2007)

WWF wise, gotta include Invasion (2001) and Survivor Series 1997.

I'd also bring up King of the Ring 1996 and Bad Blood 1997.

I co-sign Final Battle 2005 & Supercard of Honor 2006. Awesome shows.

I'm sure some of these others are deserving, I just need my memory refreshed.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Half of those WWE shows blend together.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Hey guys, if you can, instead of me digging for details, maybe throw in the highlighted matches for the reasons this event is important.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Half of those WWE shows blend together.

The WWE had a ridiculous run in 2000. From the Rumble all of the way until the fall...just PPV after PPV of big matches and studly undercard matches. Maybe the WWE's best period of quality. The only dud in there, IIRC, was the King of the Ring.

 

[FedEx227]

ROH Man Up

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark) (c) defeated Kevin Steen and El Generico

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Final Battle 2005 had the american debuts of KENTA and Marufuji. KENTA vs Low Ki was one of the five best matches ever imo, and Danielson vs Marufuji was great as well. Also, Areis & Strong won the tag titles iirc.

Supercard of Honor 06 had the inagural Dragon Gate 6-man. 5-stars, highly influential.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

After a review, I'm going to clip Royal Rumble 1994 from the list.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

When Worlds Collide was the AAA/IWC ppv co promoted by WCW that spaked the lucha revolution. It was the first exposure of Misterio, La Parka, Hijo Del Santo, and Eddy Guerrero & Art Barr to most american fans. Also had Benoit, 2 Cold Scorpio, and a hot 4star minis match. Top to bottom one of the greatest PPV's of all time. Guerrero/Barr vs Santo/Octagon is legendary. Show was so good, WCW ignored its success and refused to co promote with AAA beyond that for fear that they would be upstaged.

:rofl: how did it make it on

 

[FedEx227]

The ***** Taker/Yoko casket match.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

The ***** Taker/Yoko casket match.

The best part was the random heels like Tenryu and Jeff Jarrett that helped stuff Taker into the casket.

 

[FedEx227]

The 45 minute post match stuff rules.

Crush, Tenryu...Headshrinkers! DAMN THEM!

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Do we count Clash of the Champions events?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Do we count Clash of the Champions events?

Why not?

I've got one for you.

The Big Event (1986)

Drew the outdoor record of 61,470. Main event was Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff blowoff match. Not a PPV, but obviously a major show.

[Warner2BruceTD]

ROH The Era of Honor Begins (2002)

First ROH show. Eddie Guerrero vs. Super Crazy, and the three way main event that essentially changed indy wrestling for the next decade, Bryan Danielson vs. Low Ki vs. Christopher Daniels.
