5. Royal Rumble 2004 - The Royal Rumble is my favorite match in the WWE. The PPV itself might be lackluster at times but the rumble match itself has always been quite entertaining. But this rumble holds a special place in my heart because this is the one that Chris Benoit won. I've been a Benoit mark from the moment I saw him in WCW and his win, after so many years in the business, still brings tears to my eyes.
4. Unforgiven 2002 - I remember this Unforgiven because it contained some very good matches. Trish Stratus and Molly Holly put on a great womens match that proved the womens division was worth investing time and effort in. Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle had another fantastic technical contest with Benoit getting the upper hand in the end. Eddie Guerrero and Edge had a great, fast paced match that proved Edge was main event material. And Brock Lesnar had a bloody good Hell in a Cell match with UT. What's not to like about it?
3. Wrestlemania XX - This WM wasn't the best ever, but it did have two very important matches on the card - and those matches delivered. I'm talking about the main event with HHH/HBK/Benoit and the WWE title match with Angle/Guerrero. Benoit finally gets the strap he's deserved for who knows how long and Guerrero proves that he can main event WM with the best of them. Also, this WM provided one of the coolest heel turns in WWE history when Trish turned on Y2J in favor of Christian. It was so unexpected, and yet, it was awesome. Too bad Trish is back as a face, she's better as a heel.
2. Backlash 2004 - The only thing better than Chris Benoit winning the world title at Wrestlmania is Chris Benoit defending the world title in his hometown. And having Shawn Michaels tap out to the sharpshooter is icing on the cake! :evil:
1. ECW: One Night Stand - I'm not the greatest fan of ECW, but I respected what they accomplished and what they did for wrestling in general. Therefore, I was very excited about this PPV and man was I pleased by the result. To call One Night Stand a PPV is an inaccuarte statement because it was much more than that. ONS was a message to WCW, to WWE, and to any other wrestling promotion who disrespected ECW. **** them all! Damn right!
