Best build up for a PPV match in WWE history?

cmiller4642 · Dec 17, 2015

Austin vs The Undertaker at Summerslam 1998.

Really shows off some of Russo's best work. A 3 month pot of boiling water so to speak. I think that Summer storyline was what really won the Monday Night War.

Ravishing Rick Rude v Ultimate Warrior.

SummerSlam 89.

RRR and his trading regime was awesome.

It's hard for me to imagine anything better than "The Mega Powers Explode" in the lead up to WrestleMania V.
You could trace the origins of that feud going back 2 years to Hogan/Andre at WM3.

Rock Austin 1 Wm 12 I Think it was. Just the build up of at that time The Two biggest megastars in pro wrestling. Never well their ever be a time where WWE has two megastars at one time. Austin with his bear truck. The match itself changed the game too. One of the best mania matches of all time

Rock Austin 2 Wm 17

Hogan Rock Wm 2003

Punk v Cena 2011

Wyatt v Taker Wm 2015 (Match it self was okay, but the build up alone I enjoyed)

I can't choose between Hogan\Andre or Hogan\Savage, but I will lean towards Hogan\Savage because Savage's promos were out of this world.
