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!

1. Great American Bash '89 - Top-to-bottom good-great matches, with War Games and the Flair-Funk main event being two of my favorites of all-time. Pillman-Irwin had some good action with a memorable finish, while the TV title bout ruled, and had another memorable finish.

2. Summerslam '92 - Classic IC and World title matches, with an amazing Tag title match featuring the Natural Disasters playing the Rock n' Roll Express role far better than anyone their size should be able to. Another card where everything was either good to great.

3. Summerslam '91 - Ricky Steamboat makes the 6-man tag opener rule, and the IC title match that follows is a classic. The million dollar title match told a great story and had one of the biggest pops ever, while the jailhouse match was good, with a unique finish, and some great Mountie stuff afterwards. The Savage-Elizabeth wedding is a classic segment, and was a highlight of Jake Roberts as a killer heel.

4. WrestleMania XX - Great card all-around, with only a couple of lulls (like the evening gown match). The Brock-Goldberg match was one of the most surreal in history, and while it wasn't technically good, it's always worth watching for just how insane it is. The Jericho-Christian match was great, and set the tone for the classic duel main events.

5. Bash at the Beach '96 - It's got a classic opener between Rey and Psychosis, and a damn good Disco Inferno-Malenko match. Nothing on the card was terrible, and the main event led to the most shocking moment I'd seen at that time - Hogan's heel turn and then the formation of the NWO.

5.WWF Royal Rumble 2001- The most unpredictable Rumble of all time.
4.WWF Wrestlemania 2000- I loved the fatal four way match. And the ladder match stole the show.
3.WWE Wrestlemania XX- The two heavyweight champ matches were awesome.
2.WWF Backlash 1999- The Rock vs. Austin match was insanely cool with no disqualifications, Shane McMahon as the ref, and Vince reluctantly helping Austin win the belt.
1.WWF Wrestlemania X-7- Every match was awesome and Rock vs. Austin is one of my favorite matches of all time.

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.

Correction, Brock/Undertaker fought in a regular one on one match which ended in a draw. At Unforgiven 2002 in L.A, is where Undertaker threw Brock through the Unforgiven entrance.

It was No Mercy 2002 where Undertaker and Brock fought in Hell in a Cell.
