Two And A Half Marks

The FIRST Women's Rumble is easily the highlight of the 2018 Royal Rumble. Loaded with pops, returns, and a fantastic winner. The Men's Rumble finishes strong, but there is some serious Filler to prolong this card.

We have the first ever Backlash! The undercard is diverse, with HoFers, classic gimmicks, and definitive Guys. The Triple Main event goes 1/3, but that one is an absolute HOMER: Rock v Austin.

It's the 4-Year Anniversary, the unofficial kick-off of Summer, and the dawn of a new era of markdom. SummerSlam 2016 was a canon event, but how well did it age?

PEAK ATTITUDE ERA WARNING. For the good reasons. An electric opener, corporate DX, and a battle of Canadian Chris' fill up the undercard. And in the main event, a High Wattage Ironman Match.

Maybe it isn't worth Remembering. While this is a solid card for ECW, something is just off, maybe the IMPENDING DOOM clearly on the horizon. The stalwarts are featured, Awesome-Tanaka doesn't miss, and we open with... Spike Dudley?

Back to back New Japan? Your ears don't deceive you, we got the World Cup of Pro Wrestling. A couple of young studs steal the show, the overarching story is intriguing, and you get a nice slice of NJPW. Wait, what do you mean that wasn't the main event?

NJPW makes the trek to the Cow Palace, and they bring the WHOLE gang. We got tag matches galore of various power levels, Hiromu retaining his belt on a broken freakin' neck, and a dream match between Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes.

This is a crime against humanity. Almost two hours of unwatchable wrestling, culminating with a kick that change the wrestling landscape forever. And not in a good way.

We jump across the pond for some NXT Takeover, London edition. Despite only one Northern Islands wrestler (hi, Finn), the UK crowd is a force. Asuka and Joe bring auras, Dash and Dawson shatter dreams, and Bayley does her best John Cena impression.

"The Biggest Party of the Summer" lived up to it's name in 1998. Well, mostly. We have a DOOZY of a Co-Main featuring The Rock, Trips, 'Taker, and Stone Cold in some larger than life matches. We also have a Hair vs. Hair Match, more D'Lo being cool, and a LION'S DEN.

Hey, remember the pandemic? Money In The Bank 2020 was the 2nd PPV without fans, and boy could you tell they were throwing everything at the wall. A cinematic titular match, a chaotic Fatal 4-Way for the tag titles, and certified banger which was clamoring for fans.

Regarded as the last "good" WCW PPV, Spring Stampede '99 does generally deliver. The cruiserweights tear it up, Scott Steiner goes full Big Bad Booty Daddy, and DDP does the thing.

A rare, Hogan-less late 90's PPV, the '97 Bash is oddly just about wrestling. Not too many nWo hijinks, generally good matches, and DDP in the main event!

We are at the tail end of the "Real Sports" era, with a pending Hulk Hogan looming large over Spring Stampede '94. The card certainly feels like a big time event, but the finishes lead a lot to be desired. Nick Bockwinkel, do your job!

It should be illegal to have a boring Rumble. Fortunately for the 2017 version, the variety undercard carries the show. John G1-na, Charlotte's perfection, and an all-time classic bromance.

Purgatory AKA Mid-2010s WWE. Most of it was good/fine, but it still all felt the same. Roman is being forcefully pushed, there is still a Diva's Division, and we are just starting the AJ Styles Era of WWE.

WWE was really in their "Compliment Sandwich" bag here. A great opening Chamber for the Women's Tag Belts, a Kofi-tastic main event, but that's where it ends. When the midcard highlights are two separate beatdowns, you probably need to have a long look in the mirror.

Remember the years of WWE, pre-AEW? Repetitive story telling, matches that were "fine", and Shane McMahon was on TV every week. SummerSlam 2019 just felt like another PPV, but did have Dolph selling for Goldberg, Trish Stratus stealing the show, and the debut of The Fiend. Rest in peace, Bray.

What do you get when the booker man is also a motorcycle fanatic? Well, you get Hog Wild, a show with 0 official ticket sales. The first post-nWo show featured all 3 members in the final hour, which was the WORST of the entire show. Thank god for the undercard.

Well, ECW did have another, less flattering meaning. On the heels of the Montreal Screwjob, November to Remember is some sadness. Bad main events, a chaotic tag match, and stud workers from the 90s put on a solid opening act.

We go WAY back, to an era of heel Teddy Long, synth intros, no WCW, and Jim Cornette looking exactly the same. This years edition features a loaded card with fights for gold, "baby" Sid and Pillman, and finishes that will make your head spin.

We return to the Attitude Era ahead of the Invasion for Judgment Day '01. Overall, pretty fun card: Kane-Trips in a Chain Match, Tag Team Turmoil, and two impressive technical dudes in a 3 Stages of Hell match. And a sad Stone Cold-Taker-McMahon fustercluck main event.

Black and Gold NXT just hit. Even here, with the specter of AEW looming. We got the dawn of Heel Io, we have a BANGER between Street Profits and UE, we even got a table spot in a segment!

Nope, not the one that involved Al Capone. This one featured a worthwhile beginning, a memorable end, and what the hell was the middle. Not even the PER of Cool champ D'Lo Brown could save us from an hour of meaningless content. But hey, we got to see Vince get his ass beat, Goldust be over, and Mankind retaining the WWF Title... sort of.

The only thing "extreme" about Extreme Rules 2018 was how long it was. Despite the novelty of having the IC title in the main event, the rest of the card felt lazy. Styles-Rusev was a treat, the B-Team was fun, KO tried to die, but nothing felt genuine. Just a C+ PPV that went an hour too long.

ECW, sometimes maybe great, sometimes maybe awful. While most of the undercard is haphazard, the big names that ECW had really showed out. Taz murders jabrones, Sandman wants his mom, Stevie Richards heels it up, and Scorpio-Sabu SLAPS.

Part 1 put guys on base, Part 2 drove them home. WrestleMania 26's main events were STACKED: Streak v Career, Batista v Cena, Jericho v Edge. Technical prowess, incredible feats of strength, fantastic story telling, enormous stakes. Oh, there was also the women's match that was less showcase and more tragicomedy.

2010 was a simpler time, when Mania was one night instead of two. However, that meant they were always long as hell. With Part 1, we start with some of the solid undercard, highlighted by Money In The Bank and Sheamus v HHH in a grudge match, before ending with a 10 minute old man fight that honestly sours the memory of the Hitman.

It's the smelly smell that smells smelly, death of WCW era, but the scent is only just starting to form. Beyond the opening matches, which features the always over Filthy Animals, the surprisingly competent ICP, Kaz Hayashi, and an insensitive gimmick, there's not much to latch on to. The Revolution bust their ass putting over has-beens, Buff screws everyone, and Hogan must be protected. WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

What does this era of WWF and 2017 WWE have in common? Passable to great undercard matches with one match that had no business taking place and a main event that underwhelms. Trips and The Dumpster brawled, 1-2-3 Kid was buried with a capital shovel, and the Undertaker stole the show in the main event. Also, Shawn Michaels showed just how HIM he was in 1996.

New music, new day, No Mercy 2017, and the same Marks. We all remember this PPV for one reason: John Cena absolutely punking Roman Reigns on the mic on the build to their match. The match delivered, but it was far from the only one. Jason Jordan showed why he looked like Kurt 2.0, the Woman's *insert better Fatal 5-Way Name here* for the RAW title killed it, and Cesaro got a surprise lobotomy from his two front teeth.

While it seems we have been unfortunate every time we head to the Attitude Era, we finally got something worthwhile and memorable. Lots of memorable and iconic tag teams, Bubba Ray Dudley's obsession with Trish Stratus and wood, and just a couple of Canadian Chris's duking it out make up most of the entertaining undercard. In the main event, The Rock is counting on his biggest rival Stone Cold in order to combat the McMahon-Helmsley alliance for the WWE Championship.

Black and Gold NXT, has there ever been a better combination of story-telling, talent, and presentation? Even with *checks notes* EIGHTY PERCENT of this card no longer with WWE, for several reasons, this card is peak NXT content. Redebuting the WarGames match, a perfect by all accounts conclusion to Aleister Black & Velveteen Dream's rivalry, and a highspot 4-Way for the Women's Title.

Here we are, the conclusion of the nWo storyline, the final collision between Sting and Hollywood Hogan. WCW's greatest storyline, culminating at their biggest event of the year, Starrcade. How could they screw this up? Well, pretty spectacularly in the most boring fashion. A classic nWo overbooked mess from top to bottom, including 27 minutes of Buff Bagwell and Eric Bischoff matches. After Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko set the tone early, nothing else really comes close to matching their energy.

As his IMPACT contract was coming to an end, Page had an idea that would make Matt Hardy blush: he would feud with HIMSELF. Thus, Karate Man was born, deep within Page's psyche, leading to the last time Ethan Page would be seen alive (on IMPACT).

MARK. IT. DOWN. Showcasing women's wrestling in this series is long overdo, so let's toss out one of the best matches ever, no filters necessary. Big Bad Aja Kong faced off with "Flying Angel" Manami Toyota in the first round of the V*TOP Five Star Tournament at Big Egg Wrestling Universe 1994, but this was a match fit for the finals.

Get it, "Souled" Out, Sold Out? Anyway, after the fallout that was Starrcade 1997, WCW tried to kick start 1998 with this nWo influenced PPV. While the World Title drama is mentioned, the main event was... Lex Luger v Macho Man in a non title bout that lasted 7 minutes. This despite having a wonderful Flair-Hart match on the card. We also had some incredible luchador action, Jericho and Mysterio making lemonadel, nWo overbooking, and Benoit looking like the Bryan Danielson prototype.

WE BACK! We take another Bash at the Beach off the board, this time the 1994. Headlined by Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan in a dream match that isn't revered as such, WCW loaded up with enough stars to make Vince blush. Antonio Inoki, Steve Austin, Ricky Steamboat, Vader, Shaq, Mr. T, Kevin Sullivan *record scratch* Kevin Sullivan? Also, much like how "Hogan Must Pose", "Marks Must Wax Poetic About Regal".

I mean, how else could we celebrate Episode 100? The Moment of All Moments, the Montreal Screwjob, the most infamous match to have ever occurred. Vince had to get the World Championship off of a departing Bret Hart. and this is what he* came up with. A very packed card, with 4 Survivor Series matches of various quality, Kane manhandling Mankind, and two injured stars in a title match. And of course, 20 minutes of Bret Hart and HBK, for better or worse.

MARK. IT. DOWN. We go from beutiful violence, to, well, unscripted violence. Before Dean Ambrose ever was a twinkle in Vince's eye, Jon Moxley was just a psycho who enjoyed destroying his body and his opponents' by any means neccessary. Just read his book and you'll know that. But his match in Tournament of Death 8 against deathmatch legend Brain Damage is the match he cites as his come up, putting the crowd in a frenzy.

MARK. IT. DOWN. SHIBATA IS BACK (kinda). Fresh off his Rampage appearance against Orange Cassidy, we sought out a match where Shibata was at the peak of his powers. David selected this G1 entry against Ishii, which is a slobberknocker that would make JR blush. Nonstop action, brutal strikes, fantastic story telling. Watch, then listen.

Someone has to be the first, and boy did WWE nail this one. The First Money in the Bank cash-in could not have been scripted much better than this. A conniving Edge took advantage of a beat-to-hell Cena who had just overcome some very big odds in what was an iconic moment for the Rated R Superstar. Unfortunately, that's about it. Trish and Mickie maximize their minutes, and while Big Show-Triple H features two recognizable names, the match itself leaves A LOT to be desired. Also, Kurt Angle does his best to get canceled, to no avail.

MARK. IT. DOWN. Maybe Angelo's favorite type of match, we have a young gun on the verge of superstardom and a bluechip rookie squaring up. Except these two guys are KENNETH OMEGA and KONOSUKE TAKESHITA.

MARK. IT. DOWN. In some ways, this match directly led to the much-labored Rollins-Fiend Red Light of Doom Hell in a Cell, but man is it incredible.

Nope, not a typo. We really got back-to-back King of the Rings, this time the 2001 version. Although it should be called "Kurt of the Ring" because by God does everyone's favorite Olympian carry the show. Two matches against former members of the Brood, and a hellacious match against Shane McMahon that included 2 insane spots. We also have senile Stone Cold facing down a couple of Chris' with the World Title on the line, and some pretty decent filler to complete the card.

MARK. IT. DOWN. Nothing like a viral gif to get us to buy into a match. ROH and NJPW did a lot of Forbidden Door-ing before the official Forbidden Door, and this was a top-tier cross-over.
