Indeed, Extreme Rules is the most spot on PPV nowadays too, I'd agree with that. Even moreso than WM. It might just be the most important B-show PPV of the year right now (even though Elimination Chamber and Night Of Champions are contenders too).

I've just noted at how amazing 2004 was for PPV Main Events. With the exception of The Great American Bash, every PPV Main Event was good that year, many of them amazing:
RR - RR Match - ****1/2
NWO - Lesnar/Eddie - ****3/4
WM - HHH/Benoit/HBK - *****
BL - Benoit/HHH/HBK - ****3/4
JD - Eddie/JBL - ****1/4
BB - HHH/HBK - ****1/2 (IMO that's a great match)
TGAB - Taker/Dudleyz - 1/4* (The only bad one but not DUD worthy)
Vengeance - Benoit/HHH - ***3/4
SSlam - Benoit/Orton - ****1/2
UF - Orton/HHH - ***1/2
NM - JBL/Taker - ***1/2 (Boring but very good overall IMO as well)
TT - Orton/Flair - ****
SS - Team Orton/Team HHH - ****
AM - JBL/Taker/Eddie/Booker - ****

Might be the one of the most consistent years for PPV Main Events ever.

Macho Man V Ultimate Warrior WM 7 - ****1/4 STARS

Post Match - *************************************** STARS
THIS RIGHT HERE.

God I love that match, and the aftermath even more. So much I'd even rank it ****3/4, maybe even *****.

Elimination Chamber has had one stand out event in 2011. Others haven't done much for me by comparison to Extreme Rules. 2010's was fun and 2012's was bad.

Bolded the ones I think are GREAT. Some were good (Survivor Series, Armageddon, Vengeance, & Bad Blood) and the others were bad. (No Mercy, Unforgiven, & Great American Bash)

Going to restart my WWF 2000 project later today. For those of you who do projects like this, do you just watch every show in order or do you skip around?

I'm picking up on the Smackdown after the RADICALZ made their debut. I remember hearing that the HHH/Benoit match on this Smackdown is p. good.

2004 PPV main events:

Royal Rumble - Royal Rumble - ★★★★½
Brock Lesnar vs Eddie Guerrero - No Way Out - ★★★★¾
Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels - Wrestlemania XX - ★★★★★
Chris Benoit vs Triple H vs Shawn Michaels - Backlash - ★★★★½
Eddie Guerrero vs JBL - Judgment Day - ★★★★½
Triple H vs Shawn Michaels - Bad Blood - ★¾
Undertaker vs Dudley Boyz - The Great American Bash - ½★
Chris Benoit vs Triple H - Vengeance - ★★★¾
Chris Benoit vs Randy Orton - SummerSlam - ★★★★½
Randy Orton vs Triple H - Unforgiven - ★★★½
JBL vs Undertaker - No Mercy - ★★★¼
Randy Orton vs Ric Flair - Taboo Tuesday - ★★★★
Team Orton vs Team HHH - Survivor Series - ★★★½
JBL vs Undertaker vs Booker T vs Eddie Guerrero - Armageddon - ★★★½

Other than Bad Blood (poor) and Great American Bash (awful), all the main events ranged from good to great.

I watch every show in order. Feels more 'complete' that way specially since I missed these years when they took place initially.

Any thoughts on Angle/Taker and Austin/Hunter from Survivor Series 2000? It's been fucking ages since I watched those. I remember liking what I saw.
 
#16,313 · (Edited)
I pray that HHH vs. Jericho (Last Man Standing) will make that set. That match needs more attention. :)

Austin vs. Triple H at SS 2000 was an average match to me. The typical Attitude Era style brawl (and they've had better for my money) without it being too interesting and the stupidity of where their storyline ends up doesn't make the thing better either. I don't know how Angle/Taker turned out though

Survivor Series 2012
18:26 Team Brodus vs Team Tensai - **1/4
7:00 Kaitlyn vs Eve -.*3/4
6:57 Antonio Cesaro vs R-Truth -.*1/2
14:42 Sheamus vs Big Show - ***1/4
23:42 Team Foley vs Team Ziggler - ***
17:59 John Cena vs CM Punk vs Ryback - ***

Overall: 7/10 - Very entertaining second half with a not to bad first half. I hated the booking of the first elimination match. Also Tensai eliminated Brodus with his jumping senton off the types and then Gabriel kicks out of the same move. It made no sense and just seemed ridiculous to me. Sheamus/Show was MOTN and these two work great together. I was also disappointed in Truth/Cesaro. I expected a better match from those two.

Okay rewatched the rumble today.

Royal Rumble 2013:
Show/Del Rio: Didn't like their Smackdown match that much and didn't like this AT ALL. The "spear through the barricade" spot is getting real old. The finish was one bit of fuckery i could have done without. *1/2
Hell No/Rhodes Scholars: Meh, pretty standard tag team match. Could have been on any Raw episode. **
Rumble match: Started off solidly with JERICHO returning out of fucking no where. But that was about it, jesus this dragged on A LOT. The final three was a terrible choice. Jericho/Cena/Ziggler would have been pretty decent for myself. Ryback at #30 was very underwhelming as was his "last 2 mini match" with Cena. Cena wins, screams he's going to Wrestlemania. Yawn.

Now THIS was why i wanted to watch this event. Punk/Rock
Urghhhhhhhhhh this was awful.
A match with no structure or pace to it, the table spot wasn't their fault and i enjoyed the Rock Bottom on the floor but that was about it. The lights off spot was one of the worst i think i've ever seen WWE do, it was cringeworthy, as was Rock's hero speech before McMahon (one of the worst faces) was going to strip Punk of the title. *3/4

Yeahhh, this was not good at all. Hope more for the Chamber PPV, i mean there's EC matches so it has a good head start but 2012's event was awful so who knows?
