this is an interesting topic, I've often thought about watching a whole month build-up then the PPV itself.
that's gotta be some 10 hour tackle though right?
i think i'm going to start here…..98 was MY wrestling watching peak lolThe build to Summerslam 98, WWE peak.
Good choice, i started somewhere between end of SS and Breakdown when they were setting up the triple threat.i think i'm going to start here…..98 was MY wrestling watching peak lol
The bulid up to WM2000 easily trumps WM17. In fact, most of the PPVs in 2000 have good build ups.Can't really give you any Nitro's to be honest but got a tonne of WWF shows I can suggest to you.
Leading to Wrestlemania X-Seven (more than 4 shows needed)
Leading to No Way Out 2001
Leading to Royal Rumble 2000
Leading to Backlash 2000
Leading to Judgement Day 2000
Leading to King Of The Ring 2000
Leading to Summerslam 2000
Leading to Backlash 1999
Leading to Royal Rumble 1999
Leading to Survivor Series 1998 (as mentioned)
Leading to Wrestlemania 14 (more than 4 shows needed)
Leading to Royal Rumble 1998
Leading to Summerslam 1998
So many more but these are all MUST WATCH!!!
It surprises me that you would say that but each to their own. IMO apart from the 2 episodes when Vince and Foley returned it wasn't all that great but 2000 was an incredible year overall. Road to Mania 17 is worth watching for the Rock Austin interactions alone. The crowds are astonishing for all their segments and when Rock gets the first stunner you can barely hear JR over the fans reaction.The bulid up to WM2000 easily trumps WM17.

I only say that because a few weeks were given to Kurt/Benoit and Rock/Austin were in fact fighting over which corner Debra was going to be in. However their pre match promo may never be toppled ever. And they still manged to make music latter on in the year. They were pure gold together.It surprises me that you would say that but each to their own.

i will take the smack downs as well i don't discriminate :yum: … lol…..i think i have all the smack downs from 2000 as well as they were part of the torrentThe thing with Mania 17 is that they had five Raws and five Smackdowns, which means ten shows to produce between NWO and Mania. That's a lot, especially when you wanna build a face vs face match, where both men are very limited with what they can do and say to not hurt the status of the other one.
That's why the first two weeks kind of fell flat. Debra is not a problem for me because she was needed to make the feud personal and intense. From the moment Austin stunned Rock because Debra was attacked, this thing was on.
By the way, OP asked for only four weeks of build up and with only Raw shows, not both Raw and SD shows. There's a difference.
Sorry but the first two weeks didnt fall flat, they were electrifying!The thing with Mania 17 is that they had five Raws and five Smackdowns, which means ten shows to produce between NWO and Mania.
