Warner2BruceTD...you and I have a mission...

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

...if you choose to accept.

I want to come up with a definitive list of "must watch" wrestling pay per views.

Whether they are groundbreaking and historically relevant or top to bottom really strong from an entertainment standpoint or workrate standpoint, whatever.

I'm much more familiar with American wrestling from back in the day all the way to today, and while familiar with the foreign stuff, I have a hard time pin pointing specific PPVs etc, as many times I watch the specific matches and not the entire PPVs. That is where you'd come in mostly, but would prefer your opinion on ROH shows considering you were going to the events back then and I was already in Florida.

So...do you choose to accept?

 

[EmpireWF]

Isn't ROH Driven considered one of the top 2-3 ROH ppvs?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So this would essentially be the greatest cards of all time? I'm in.

Here are a few north american PPV's that to me are locks for various reasons. I will have expanded thoughts when I get home from work.

- AAA "When World Collide" (1994)
- ECW "One Night Stand" (2005)
- Wrestlemania III (1987)
- 1992 Royal Rumble

 

[EmpireWF]

-1989 Great American Bash
-Canadian Stampede (1997)
-2011 Money in the Bank (too soon?)

-Glory by Honor 5 Night 2

Pretty much a greatest cards of all-time...and because there is no write ups or shit like that, just a list, it shouldn't take you a god damned year.

IT could be based on work rate...entertainment value...top to bottom goodness...historical value...whatever.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Since I know you are in...use the other thread...

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

ROH shows blend together for me, I'm not good at remembering entire cards or pinpointing what match took place on what show.

WrestleMania XVII has to be considered.

Also WrestleMania VI.

 

[EmpireWF]

Wrestlemania 10

I say GBHVN2 because of Dragon/Kenta, Marufuji/Nigel, Joe/Homicide vs. Briscoes, Aries/Strong vs. KOW and BRUNO

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

OTHER THREAD YOU FUCKS...I am keeping track.

 

[Houston]

WrestleMania XVII has to be considered.

First thing I ever got on Pay-Per-View, epic.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Larry, how about we debate in this thread?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Sounds good.

 

[EmpireWF]

TNA, the only show I can think of would Unstoppable 2005 for the triple threat.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Up for debate...WrestleMania VIII

Randy Savage v. Ric Flair
Hart v. Piper
HBK v. Tito Santana

Quite a few duds in there and a shitty main event but saved by a YOOGE return of the Ultimate Warrior.

I'm a huge mark for the Savage-Flair match...so it may cloud my judgement. Thoughts.

I would say no, but then I saw about two dozen wwe shows in the other thread that aren't as memorable to me.

 

[EmpireWF]

WM 8 should definitely be there.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

It could certainly use some pruning, for sure.

I would prefer the list not be the "elitists" definitive PPV list, but a general consensus of the canon of wrestling pay per views.

Much like the Pro Football Hall of Fame asks itself "could you tell the story of the game with/without this person"...maybe for this we should ask ourself "could the story of wrestling be told with/without this pay per view"

Maybe tonight, if you get down time, look through some of those WWE PPVs results, maybe remember something and see if you would prune some.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Next up for debate...Summerslam 1998

HHH v. The Rock - a match that kind of moved them both up the card as top guys.

Good, but not great Austin-Undertaker and a good Owen Hart-Ken Shamrock match.

Only reason for inclusion here is the historical significance of the HHH-Rock match. Thoughts?

 

[young2rice]

This would be good that way I can grab a couple of 'em and watch them in my free time.

I'd like to put together some sort of..."canon of wrestling" posts here.

Get a list of definitive pay per views. Going to start there. Maybe get a GOAT matches thing going on.

Some shit for reference that we hopefully don't lose.

Maybe it'll all be done before W2BTD is done before with his Top 100 list.
