Survivor Series 1987

1. Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, and Brutus Beefcake defeated Harley Race, Honky Tonk Man, Ron Bass, Hercules, and Danny Davis by countout

***Match Of The Night***

This was a good way to kick off the Survivor Series franchise. The crowd was into it and they played the stipulation pretty well and these 10 guys put on a good show.

Survivors: Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, and Jake Roberts

Rating: 3.25

2. Fabulous Moolah, Rockin' Robin, Velvet McIntyre, and The Jumping Bomb Angels defeated Sensational Sherri, The Glamour Girls, Donna Christanello, and Dawn Marie by pinfall

This is something you don't see anymore, a 20 minute womens match. It had some good moments, but this was still nothing exceptional. The Jumping Bomb Angels were definitely the highlight of this match, as they were years ahead of the curve.

Survivors: The Jumping Bomb Angels

Rating: 1.75

3. Strike Force, The British Bulldogs, The Young Stallions, The Killer Bees, and The Fabulous Rougeaus defeated The Hart Foundation, Demolition, The Bolsheviks, The New Dream Team, and The Islanders by pinfall

This was an interesting match, as the match contained 20 superstars. I'd hate to see the WWE do one of these matches this year. It's just a shame that tag team wrestling isn't what it once was.

Survivors: The Killer Bees and The Young Stallions

Rating: 3.25

4. Andre The Giant, King Kong Bundy, One Man Gang, Rick Rude, and Butch Reed defeated Hulk Hogan, Ken Patera, Paul Orndorff, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Don Muraco by pinfall

It was nice to see the heels go over in the main event, as that didn't happen too often in the early WWF days. However, it's a shame they didn't allow Rude to pick up the win, as Andre was already past his prime as a draw and the other guys were useless.

Survivor: Andre The Giant

Rating: 3

With only 4 matches on the card, there was little room for error. However, all of the matches are entertaining, but none of them are real standouts. This is the first Survivor Series, giving it historical significance, and the action is better than most of the WWF stuff at this time. All in all, this is a worthwhile show.

Overall Rating: 74%

Night Of Champions 2008

1. John Morrison + Miz defeated Finlay + Hornswoggle by pinfall

This was fun TV-like match. I don't like the heels having to sell to Hornswoggle as much as they did, but everyone performed well and as a result, this was entertaining.

Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)

2. Matt Hardy defeated Chavo Guerrero by pinfall

I like both of these guys, but they both looked a little off on this night. Still, this was okay.

Rating: 2

3. Mark Henry defeated Kane and Big Show to win the ECW Championship

Well, this wasn't quite as horrible as expected. Still, it was slow and boring and not worth watching.

Rating: .25

4. Ted Dibiase + Cody Rhodes defeated Hardcore Holly + Cody Rhodes by pinfall to win the World Tag Team Championship

This was just an angle to turn Cody Rhodes heel and to get Hardcore Holly off TV.

Rating: 0

5. Kofi Kingston defeated Chris Jericho to win the Intercontinental Championship

I really liked the way these two paced the match and built to a big finish that involved Shawn Michaels distracting Jericho to allow Kofi to get the big victory.

Rating: 3.25

6. Mickie James defeated Katie Lea Burchill by pinfall

I don't get why the WWE is so down on Paul Burchill. I think he's been a lot more effective than his "sister".

Rating: .75

7. Edge defeated Batista by pinfall

This was a really good match, but the finish left me unsatisfied. Yes, it was quite entertaining to see Vickie Guerrero thrown out of the ring, but the rest was screwy.

Rating: 3.25

8. Triple H defeated John Cena by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

I have to say that I think I liked this match better than their WrestleMania matchup (I'll get to that show one of these days). The crowd was nowhere as entertaining, but I feel that this matchup was a little bit stronger. This continued the John Cena Job Tour 2008.

Rating: 3.75

Well, this show was pretty hit or miss, but for the most part was pretty good. Three good matches towards the end make you (almost) forget about the big man match and some of the other disappointments. Decent show.

Overall Rating: 68%

SummerSlam 1994

1. IRS + Bam Bam Bigelow defeated The Headshrinkers by disqualification

Both teams gave a good effort here and it was actually going quite well until the stupid ending. I don't like dq's on pay-per-views, but I hate dq's on the first match even more.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)

2. Alundra Blayze defeated Bull Nakano by pinfall

This is probably one of the best women's matches I can recall. The crowd was into it, the competitors kept the match at a good pace, and the chemistry was there. It's too bad we don't see too many womens matches like this.

Rating: 3.25

3. Razor Ramon defeated Diesel by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship

Say what you will about the kliq during this time period, but when they fought each other, it was almost always a good match. This was no exception. Probably both guy's best match that didn't involve Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart.

Rating: 3.5

4. Tatanka defeated Lex Luger by pinfall

This was the match where Tatanka turned heel, which in retrospect, was pretty much the end of Tatanka's success in the WWF. This was more of a storyline than an actual match.

Rating: .5

5. Jeff Jarrett defeated Mabel by pinfall

This always seemed like a strange matchup to have on a big show. Luckily, the right man won.

Rating: .25

6. Bret Hart defeated Owen Hart by escaping the cage

***Match Of The Night***

The workrate in this match is just off the charts. These guys went full tilt for about 40 minutes. It's just a shame that the show did not end here.

Rating: 4.75

7. Undertaker defeated Fake Undertaker by pinfall

Yes, this is that match. Why, Vince, why?

Rating: 0

Well, half of this show rocks the house. The crowd was phenomenal and you have one of the best matches of the 90s on the card. However, you also have one of the worst main events in WWF/E history. Still, with one all time classic and some other good matches on the card, this show is definitely worth watching. Just pretend the cage match is the last match.

Rating: 78%

WrestleMania X

1. Owen Hart defeated Bret Hart by pinfall

Hands down one of the greatest matches in history and it's not even the best match on the card. These two told one heck of a story and the workrate here was incredible. What an awesome start to a show.

Rating: 5 (out of 5)

2. Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna defeated Doink and Dink by pinfall

Call me crazy, but this wasn't terrible. It wasn't a good wrestling match, but it was entertaining.

Rating: 1.75

3. Macho Man defeated Crush by pinfall

When I first saw this, I thought it was hardcore, but now it seems quite tame. Savage was always entertaining, while Crush sucked.

Rating: 2

4. Alundra Blayze defeated Leilani Kai by pinfall

This was just kind of there, but at the same time they gave a good effort. Blayze wasn't half bad.

Rating: 1

5. Men On A Mission defeated The Quebecers by countout

This was actually quite fun. The ending had no place on the biggest show of the year, but the rest was solid.

Rating: 2.5

6. Yokozuna defeated Lex Luger by disqualification

Mr. Perfect made this a little bit more interesting than it was, but it still was just okay. Luger as a face just never really did it for me, although I would have liked to have seen Hart vs. Luger.

Rating: .75

7. Earthquake defeated Adam Bomb by pinfall

Not sure why this was even on the card or why Earthquake won in a squash?

Rating: .25

8. Razor Ramon defeated Shawn Michaels in a ladder match to win the Intercontinental Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This is without a doubt one of the greatest matches ever. Two 5's at one show. Incredible match.

Rating: 5

9. Bret Hart defeated Yokozuna by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

The finish was kind of lame but Bret knew how to get the best out of the big man. A good ending to a good show.

Rating: 2.5

Well, let's see. This show has two of the greatest matches ever on the card, plus Bret Hart getting his apology from Vince. The rest may not be anything to write home about, but the pacing of the show was really good and everything was entertaining. Awesome show and the greatest WrestleMania up to this point.

Royal Rumble 1994

1. Tatanka defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by pinfall

This was nothing special, but they both worked pretty hard, making this a passable opener.

Rating: 1.5 (out of 5)

2. The Quebecers defeated Bret and Owen Hart by referee stoppage

This match is famous as being the match where Owen turned heel and started the big Hart vs. Hart program that produced some of the greatest matches in WWE history. This match was also pretty darn good as well.

Rating: 3.75

3. Razor Ramon defeated IRS by pinfall

Why was Razor never in the actual Royal Rumble match? This was a pretty screwy match.

Rating: 1.5

4. Yokozuna defeated Undertaker by placing him in the casket

How many men does it take to put the Undertaker in a casket? Apparently, a whole bunch. Shouldn't they have instructed them to all come out at once, rather than one at a time? This is probably one of my least favorite matches I have ever seen on a WWF pay-per-view.

Rating: 0

5. Lex Luger and Bret Hart won the Royal Rumble

The most memorable moment of this Rumble, other than the finish, was the emergence of Diesel. This was his first big moment as a singles star. The entire Bret Hart storyline was well done and the tie made for an exciting finish. If only it didn't lead to Luger/Yokozuna at WrestleMania...

Rating: 3.5

This show is pretty good, featuring a great storyline and a couple of good matches. However, the one dud on the show, is one of the biggest duds in WWF/E history. Still, this is worth watching because it's the Royal Rumble and Bret Hart is just simply the man.

Overall Rating: 67%

SummerSlam 1993

1. Razor Ramon defeated Ted Dibiase by pinfall

This was Ted Dibiase's last match before retirement. Not a bad opener. It's kind of weird watching a WWF show at the Palace. This was the only pay-per-view they ever held there.

Rating: 2.25

2. The Steiner Brothers defeated The Heavenly Bodies by pinfall

This was a fun tag team match. I truly miss that there is no tag team division anymore. All it takes is a few teams that can go, but that's another story for another time. Good match.

Rating: 3

3. Shawn Michaels defeated Mr. Perfect by countout

***Match Of The Night***

This is an early 90's dream match between two of the finest wrestlers of that era. While this isn't a classic, this is still an entertaining match, although with a lame finish.

Rating: 3.5

4. IRS defeated 1-2-3 Kid by pinfall

Waltman was a breath of fresh air at this point in time and it's unfortunate that these two didn't get a few more minutes. Still, they made the most of their opportunity and had a good little match.

Rating: 2.25

5. Bret Hart defeated Doink by disqualification

Jerry Lawler faked an injury to get out of his match against Bret, so we get Bret vs. Doink instead. Not a bad match, but it was ultimately just to reveal that Lawler was not hurt and give Bret his second match of the evening.

Rating: 2.25

6. Jerry Lawler defeated Bret Hart by disqualification

This was more of a storyline than a match, but an entertaining one. Lawler always played a great heel, especially when working with Bret.

Rating: 3.25

7. Ludvig Borga defeated Marty Jannetty by submission

Well, they had to have at least one squash match on here. Jannetty always took a good beating, even if was to a slouch like Borga.

Rating: .75

8. Undertaker defeated Giant Gonzales by pinfall

This actually may have been worse than WrestleMania. This is the only real negative to the show.

Rating: 0

9. Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers by pinfall

This was a fun matchup and got a good amount of time. You don't see matches like this on WWE pay-per-view anymore.

Rating: 3.25

10. Lex Luger defeated Yokozuna by countout

This is still one of the strangest booking decisions that I've seen in my years watching wrestling. They hyped Luger up and shoved him down our throats, all to have him win by countout? And then they celebrate like he did the impossible. Last time I checked, Hulk Hogan beat him in about 10 seconds. Stupid. It's too bad because both guys actually gave a good effort.

Rating: 1

This show is kind of a forgotten one, possibly because of the stupidity of the main event. But in reality, this was a good show. The only real dud was the Undertaker match, but that's why they invented the fast forward button.

Overall Rating: 77%

WrestleMania IX

1. Tatanka defeated Shawn Michaels by countout

***Match Of The Night***

This was actually a real solid match. This was probably the peak of Tatanka's popularity and he was still undefeated at the time. I have no idea why they booked this match if they didn't want to do a clean finish, but at least this match was good, unlike the majority of this card.

Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. The Steiner Brothers defeated The Headshrinkers by pinfall

This is the lone WrestleMania for the Steiners and this was another solid match. It was right around this time that the WWF Tag Team scene really started to stink.

Rating: 2.5

3. Doink defeated Crush by pinfall

I think I'm the only person who kind of enjoyed the heel Doink. Crush, on the other hand, not so much. This match is memorable for the fact that a second Doink helped Doink win the match.

Rating: .5

4. Razor Ramon defeated Bob Backlund by pinfall

This was kind of an odd match up and I have no idea why they only gave these two guys just 4 minutes. Ramon was one of the top heels and it seemed as if they were pushing Backlund as a top mid-card guy. It's little things like this that makes this show an odd one.

Rating: .5

5. Money Inc. defeated The Megamaniacs by disqualification

This match was pretty terrible and proof that Hogan was not nearly as popular as he once was. Sadly, this was just the beginning of Hogan's night.

Rating: .25

6. The Narcissist defeated Mr. Perfect by pinfall

Luger looked pretty sluggish and unfortunately not even Mr. Perfect could save this match.

Rating: 1.5

7. Undertaker defeated Giant Gonzales by disqualification

This is infamous for being horrible and I don't even know if horrible is a strong enough word. Luckily, Gonzales didn't last too much longer.

Rating: 0

8. Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

Bret gave quite the performance here and I think that is sometimes forgotten thanks to the awful moment that came afterwords. Bret would get his revenge in a year.

Rating: 1.75

9. Hulk Hogan defeated Yokozuna by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

Hands down, the worst moment in WrestleMania history. Sure, there have been some bad ones here and there, but this one is the biggest ego trip of all time. Hogan, you suck.

Rating: 0

This show is bad for a lot of reasons, but most notably Hulk Hogan. He just couldn't stand playing second fiddle to Bret Hart. Vince gave in to Hogan at this point in time, but later learned his lesson. Beyond that, nothing is really memorable, with the exception of how bad the Undertaker/Gonzales match is.
