Simon Miller's 10 Best Wrestling PPVs Of All Time

[@kb2602]

i was actually in attendance at wm 17 with floor seats about 20 rows behind jr and man to this day it was the best sporting event ive ever attended live, its crazy to see all these years later its considered the greatest ppv of all time, glad I was there

[@snizsniras883]

Paul Heyman made it 100 times better

[@bryantjayce1273]

i realize it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online?

[@tinotica]

I was there too. I still think the last two matches brought the quality down with the ref sleeping in the ring during the Taker vs Triple H match and of course, the awful heel turn in Austin’s home state 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

5:56 What he says right there is very important when it comes to storytelling whether it's wrestling, comics, movies, tv or whatever media the story comes in. The Journey. That is what often what matters most. Not the destination or result. Basically it's important not to get your hopes up too high in expectation of something to deliver. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Keep hopes high and expectations low. And that's not just for storytelling but also in living day to day life. It's essential to not only living life but loving it as well.

I love how most Of Simon Millers fans are not toxic. Thanks for always being so fun and positive every week!

Simon you put Wrestlemania X7 at #1 and that's why I love you. There will never be a better event. Plus, how is it that I attended Wrestlemania XX and Wrestlemania 29 and neither is in my top 10?

I agree. I attended 34 in New Orleans and it's no where near my top 100, let alone 10.

Right call on WM17 being top, but harsh on the rest of the great year that was 2000. Royal rumble (street fight arguably best ever WWF match) and Summerslam from that year both pretty special. I think in terms of hype and buzz InVasion 2001 is up there, what a build up and atmosphere leading into it.

[@endlessmountain]

For me top four are easily Survivor Series'98, St. Valentines Day Massacre with Wrestlemania 2002 and 2004.

[@sewwy2618]

The facts he opened up with “these are MY 10 greatest ppv of all time” makes this video valid

[@enigmax79]

i'm probably in the minority, but the 1994 Royal Rumble will always hold a special place in my heart. it's the PPV that hooked me as a fan. as hokey as it is now, the ending to the casket match as well as co-winners of the Rumble was amazing to my younger self. add the drama with Bret and Owen, my first time seeing Razor Ramon defend his IC title, the opener of Bam Bam VS Tatanka, and the Royal Rumble itself, and it was sensory overload. as for top 10? no way i could list only 10 since almost every Takeover i've seen was great. but i definitely know that Summerslam 2013, Money In The Bank 2011 (i was there so i'm biased), Extreme Rules 2012 (was there live as well), Wrestlemania X-7, WM 19, and Summerslam 1994 and 2002 will always be toward the top.

[@lindenstromberg6859]

NXT Takeover New Orleans is my favourite of all time, outside of the NXT PPVs, my favourite is probably Wrestlemania 20 or ECW One Night Stand. I like Mania 17 too, but it didn't feel as special to me as WM20, Backlash 2000, Royal Rumble 2000/2001/2004/2018, or the top half of Vengeance 2001.
