every match in wm3, nothing has come close since then

 

I was thinking the same thing. It is the blueprint.

You have an EPIC main event that crossed over to mainstream.

You have an EPIC angle and MATCH with Steamboat and Savage.

You have some comedy in there with Bundy and the midgets and Slick aftermath with Tito.

You got a great tag match with Bulldogs/Foundation with the tied in story with Danny Davis and Santana.

You get a shocking babyface turn with Beefcake.

You get a retirement match and finale to a long build.

You get a shocking upset victory.

-----------

SummerSlam 2002 and SummerSlam 91-92.

WM 17 and 19 I would say too.

I think WM 21 gets a nod too.

Canadian Stampede top to bottom may be best ever though, but that was 2 hours.

 

Wrestlekingdom 13 was right up there. Alas, half the matches didn't get the time to do them justice.

Spring Stampede 1994 another one that comes to mind.

 

Just checked Wrestle Kingdom 13 card, yeah that is one strong looking card. But when we compare it to star power of WM 2003 it will fall behind.

 

Summerslam 2002. WM 19 had bigger star power, but the match quality in Summerslam was much better.

 

Yeah. But the thread question was only directed at the card, not the quality of matches or maybe you were trying to point out the quality potential of the matches, even from that point of view WM 19 is a winner.

 

Summerslam 2002 & WM 21 . The perfect PPVs.

 

WM 17.

 

One night stand 2005

 

WM 17

 

WrestleMania 20 for me

 

Brace yourselves the new WM and best wrestling event is tomorrow lol

 

in addition to the summerslam 02 mentioned here, i will mention that on paper Wm22 looks pretty freaking good too even if the matches were not all amazing. shawn vince, edge foley, rey orton angle, jbl benoit, hhh cena, everyone who was in the MITB, this is a star studded card.

 

Mania 17

• Benoit vs Angle
• Taker vs HHH (Underrated match IMO)
• Rock vs Austin
• Vince vs Shane
• Jericho vs Regal
• TLC

And even the other matches were pretty damn solid

 

My personal favorite is probably going to be WrestleMania X-7. This is an event I attended, so I may have a personal bias, but it was full of great matches. Not everything was great, but it had plenty of high level stuff.

• WWF Championship: The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
• The Undertaker vs. Triple H
• TLC Match for the Tag Team Championship: Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
• Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon was actually pretty solid for what it was; the finish was definitely the highlight
• Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
• Test vs. Eddie Guerrero wasn't bad
• Chris Jericho vs. William Regal was solid as an opener

Throw away matches I could have done without

• Tazz & The APA vs. Right to Censor; logical match with a finish that made sense, just not a whole lot of build going into the match
• Raven vs. Kane vs. The Big Show (Kane vs. The Big Show in a one-on-one would have been preferred for me)
• Ivory vs. Chyna was okay for what it was, but this one really didn't matter for me
• Gimmick Battle Royal was what it was; just a way to get a bunch of old timers in a quick match at the biggest show ever
