The Greatest PPV Of all time - Wrestlemania - Round 1

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

So it all begins. TWO's quest to find the Greatest PPV of all time. Here is how it'll work:

 

- Much like the TWO Survivor elimination style that Chris2K ran you vote for your least favorite.

 

- All the PPVS will be under there names sakes. Meaning all the Wresltemania's will be under Wrestlemania :doh32:

 

- The promotions involved will be WWE/F, NWA/WCW, ECW, TNA

 

- On some rounds you can vote for more than one PPV.

 

- If you haven't seen the PPV you can still vote it out on the fact that you haven't seen it.

 

- For some of those who haven't seen much of the WCW and ECW PPV's I'll be posting up cards of the events so you can base you vote on that if you like. If someone can find some bits of the show on a video site, then great and post it here.

 

- The cut off point for PPVS in the future is now. Meaning any PPV from now on doesn't count in this quest for The Greatest PPV of All time.

 

- And lets try and get some good debate going in these threads with no single word posts.

 

We'll start for are quest with the WWE/F and Wrestlemania.

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

I wasn't paying attention. Could a lovely mod add the numbers to the choices please.

[Guest Wolverine]

Great poll. I vote for WrestleMania, WrestleMania and WrestleMania.

 

Seriously though, I'll vote them all off except 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, 19 and 23.

[Guest Craig]

I couldn't choose between WrestleMania or WrestleMania, but in the end, I chose WrestleMania because I think it was better than WrestleMania and was definitely much better than WrestleMania because WrestleMania was stupid and wasn't as god as WrestleMania. WrestleMania was the best though.

 

But yeah, I'm voting off 1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 16.

[DC 536]

Great poll. I vote for WrestleMania, WrestleMania and WrestleMania.

 

Seriously though, I'll vote them all off except 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, 19 and 23.

You didn't like 7, 14 or 18? I thought they all rocked.

 

I voted off Wrestlemanias 1, 2 and 9 in this round, as there is very little good in any of them to even warrant a second viewing.

[Guest BigAl]

wrestlemania XV... is that the one where the undertaker hung bossman???? because that was pitiful and ill go for that then purely because that on the card and are we doing 1 vote because you can click in more then one?

[Guest Wolverine]

Haven't seen 7. 14 was decent enough, but I didn't think it was great or anything. 18 had Rock vs. Hogan and little else (though I do vaguely remember Flair vs. Undertaker being quite good).

[DC 536]

Haven't seen 7. 14 was decent enough, but I didn't think it was great or anything. 18 had Rock vs. Hogan and little else (though I do vaguely remember Flair vs. Undertaker being quite good).

Fair enough with 7 if you haven't seen it, but it does have the start of 'Taker's streak and Warrior's best match ever against Randy Savage.

[Guest Dave7g]

Not to mention a KILLER tag match with the Nasty Boys~! and the almighty Hart Foundation, and a delicious opening tag with the Rockers vs Haku and Barbarian, this was when tag team wrestling was worth a crap.

[King 277]

Im voting off 4,9,11,12.

[Guest FreeSpirit]

I wasn't paying attention. Could a lovely mod add the numbers to the choices please.

 

Done for you Mate :good222:

[Guest Dave7g]

I didn't really mean to vote of Wrestlmania 21.

[Guest Kanenite]

2, 5, 9, 12, 18 got my votes. I meant to vote for 11 though but obviously can't count.

 

I'd say 18 wasn't all to bad but it was all about the 1 match, Hogan vs Rock. The Undisputed Title and Flair vs Taker were good matches but the rest of the card was a bit meh.

[Guest FreeSpirit]

WrestleMania 9 and 20 were my least favourite WrestleMania's, so I'm voting for those two off.

[Guest SuperKick Kid]

In my opinion, Wrestlemania 19 or 20 is the best Wrestlemania.

 

I really enjoyed both all the way through.

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

I love Wrestlemania 20, I'd even go as far as to say I enjoyed it more than Wrestlemania 17.

[DC 536]

Not to mention a KILLER tag match with the Nasty Boys~! and the almighty Hart Foundation, and a delicious opening tag with the Rockers vs Haku and Barbarian, this was when tag team wrestling was worth a crap.

I must admit, the Harts v Nastys was a great match, with Jimmy Hart being awesome, and the result causing the kind of outcry you rarely get for the right reasons.

 

The opening match between The Rockers and Heenan's twosome was great too. This match has a lot of nice action. The event as a whole is pretty good.

[Joey Asbo 45]

I cant believe i voted for 17!! i misread it - gutted!! Angle vs. Benoit, Austin vs. Rock, McMahon vs. McMahon was even good, not to mention TLC II, damn i loved that PPV

[DC 536]

So far we've got WM19 as the only event without a vote.

[Guest the HiTman]

Oops. it's too early for me!..I voted for my fave. Could a mod cancel my vote? Cheers.

[Guest Twig]

Oops. it's too early for me!..I voted for my fave. Could a mod cancel my vote? Cheers.

 

Oh, crud. I did that too :-0

[Guest Laffy]

I voted to get rid of 2,3,9, 13,14,15,16,18 have not seen 2,3 9 but have been told by my mates they were cr** and the others weren't really bad just meh.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

I basically voted for all those I havent seen. So 1-16, 18, 19.

[Guest BigAl]

was 19 the one were lesnar done his boshed shooting star press?

[Guest the HiTman]

I basically voted for all those I havent seen. So 1-16, 18, 19.

 

Well that doesn't make any sense.
