Best Non-WrestleMania Pay-Per-View Ever?

[MojoJsyn]

I'll mention two that hasn't been mentioned yet, Money in the Bank 2011 and Royal Rumble 1992.

 

Money had 2 great ladder matches Henry and Show if memory serves me right was pretty great and a decent Orton Christian match along with the awesome Punk Cena main.

 

Rumble had the Owen/Neidhart against the Orient Express which was pretty good and a decent tag of the Natural Disasters against LOD and then you had the greatest Rumble match in history.

Not to start an argument, but has anyone watched the 1992 Rumble lately? I saw it last year - lots of good stuff but it drags badly at times in the second half.

 

As far as favourite ppvs, I really liked No mercy 2008 on a recent rewatch.

Yep I watched it last year and loved every minute of it. It had a lot of the stars of the 80s interacting with a lot of the newer up and coming stars as well as each other. The whole story of the match is great and then to add Heenan on commentary and I could watch again right now and be thoroughly enjoyed.

SuperBrawl III. Cactus/Orndorff, Benoit/Scorpio, Rock n'Rolls/Bodies & Vader/Sting are all good to great.

 

Plus there's the return of Ric Flair, the debut of Davey Boy Smith and the end of the Erik Watts push as he is booed out of the building.

 

I second this.

I'll be the lone vote on this but I love Survivor Series 96. Bret/Austin is an all time great match. Taker/Mankind was solid, the tags were all pretty fun and had debuts of Furnas/Lafon, Funk, and Rock, and the main event delivered. Another great thing was the crowd being as hot as they were. The show really felt like the start of a new era

I actually really liked the main event in parts, but Michaels wasn't that great to me. Sid knowing his role came off way better for me. There was some timing that was off.

Take a lot of the comments written here, check it out. I will say that there was actually much wider spread of candidates and opinion on the best PPV than I was expected, which made for a fun show.
