I would support Bruno/Backlund vs 3MB at WM. For real. They should have done it last year. They could add Hogan this year and just have him punch someone once or something. I bet 78 year old Bruno could still go. No doubt he has better cardio than Batista.



Bruno vs Orton for WM main event. Book it, Gabe!

I get the feeling me listing matches from the PPVs that are worth watching was a bit of bad timing so I'm just going to leave this here and leave that thread be for quite a while.

!

Having access to pretty much every PPV from WWE, WCW and ECW means we can watch a VOD and just jump to the good stuff.

Here are the best matches from each available year, I will update the OP as often as I can and if there is a must see match not listed let me know and i’ll add it. There are so many legendary matches that many people may not have seen depending on how long wrestling has been an interest, so let’s share the wealth of knowledge and let everyone get the most out of their WWE Network experience.

Fans buy anything. It's WM. And his HHH matches weren't that good.

The issue with his WM matches isn't that they're technically bad. They just lack drama imo. I never honestly think Taker is going to lose. The man kicked out of a SCM into pedigree.

I dunno man. I genuinely thought that after he got Tombstoned by HHH that he was going to lose.

The first HHH match was bullshit, but there are moments in both HBK matches and the second HHH one that make you believe he could lose even though you knew he wouldn't. They just told a fantastic story.

Never felt that with Punk, although it was a fun match. Have a feeling Brock will be the same.

I just realized that that new HHH movie REUNITES two very big stars from Blade Trinity.



HHH himself and Parker Posey. Oh my.

EDIT: Okay, so that movie Inside Out is from 2011. Regardless, they reunited for what is sure to be another classic!

Thanks very much, yep feedback is the key thing as I wanted to make a community list where it's all our opinions merged into a list rather than me just thrusting my opinions on others. I'll drop Mr. Sandman a PM at somepoint and see if it is worth while adding the list.

They used "Ain't No Grave" by Johnny Cash the past few years. I don't remember this one though.

Edit: I always loved the way Sgt. Slaughter took that Stunner. XD

i didn't even know about Reunion. I thought the only Cena movies were Marine, 12 Rounds, and Legendary.

I'm more disappointed than i should be over Bending the Rules no longer being on Netflix

Christian vs Ezekiel Jackson RR 2010

The crowd was pretty hot for this. And it was well deserved, it was pretty good match. It also had one of the cleanest and fastest executions of the killswitch I have seen.

Striker yelling out Lariatoooo was a little cringeworthy.

After the match, it led to s segment with Taryn Terrel and that led me to seeing her Last Knockout Standing match with Gail Kim since I curious what she has done recently, and she is surprisingly a good wrestler. The match itself was vicious with a hell of a finish. Jesus.

Shame she went crazy in WWE and got herself fire and Drew buried to the center of the earth.

I watched that one too. Other than Punk preaching in the Rumble, I thought the Rumble was awful.

I enjoyed Rey/Taker and the Rumble at least had a good storyline going for it with Shawn and his quest for Taker. Which just shows how lazy WWE was with this year's Rumble.
