1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Goldust by pinfall
The first half of this match was excellent. Unfortunately, things really slowed down towards the end. Still, a pretty good opener.
Rating: 2.75
2. Ahmed Johnson defeated Faarooq by disqualification
This wasn't great, but man was the crowd into Ahmed. Too bad he was injury prone.
Rating: 1.25
3. Vader defeated Undertaker by pinfall
It was nice to see Vader pick up the victory here, even if they did nothing with it. Why Vader was never given the title is still beyond me.
Rating: 2
4. Hector Garza, Perro Aguayo, and El Canek defeated Heavy Metal, Jerry Estrada, and Fuerza Guerrera by pinfall
You want to hear 50,000 people sound as quiet as possible? Watch this match.
Rating: 1
5. Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble
The first 2/3rds of the Rumble were pretty pedestrian, but once the big guns came in, this was awesome stuff. This is still one of my favorite Rumbles ever.
Rating: 3.75
6. Shawn Michaels defeated Sid by pinfall to win the WWF Championship
This was a pretty good match, but Michaels was sick and it led to Sid dominating most of the match.
Rating: 2.5
Well, the Rumble itself is great and the undercard is pretty solid. There's the feel good moment at the end and the controversial ending to the Rumble match itself. That alone makes this a fun show.

SummerSlam 1996
1. Owen Hart defeated Savio Vega by pinfall
This was a fun opener that got a good amount of time, despite there being no real story going into this match. Sometimes I forget how good Owen really was.
Rating: 3.25 (out of 5)
2. The Smoking Gunns defeated The Godwinns, The New Rockers, and The Body Donnas by pinfall
This was way too long for what it was worth. This was not a great time for tag team wrestling and it shows here.
Rating: 1
3. Sid defeated British Bulldog by pinfall
This kind of felt like a house show match. Not much else to say about it.
Rating: .75
4. Goldust defeated Marc Mero by pinfall
This was a pretty solid match, with the exception of a few sloppy spots. The crowd was pretty dead, which didn't help matters.
Rating: 2
5. Jerry Lawler defeated Jake Roberts by pinfall
This was an absolutely horrible match. Yes, I'm aware it was more of a story than a wrestling match, but it did nothing for either guy. Awful.
Rating: 0
6. Mankind defeated Undertaker in a Boiler Room Brawl
This was definitely the blueprint for many of the brawls in the late 90s. Very innovative, but at the same time, not a great wrestling match. Both guys gave a good effort, especially Foley (big surprise, huh?) and this was the beginning of Paul Bearer the heel.
Rating: 3
7. Shawn Michaels defeated Vader by pinfall
***Match Of The Night***
This was a great match. Shawn was just on a major roll at this point and I have always enjoyed watching Vader destroy the smaller wrestlers. The ending was a little so-so, but this is good stuff.
Rating: 4
Well, there is one great match, two good ones, and a bunch of filler. Not the recipe for a great show, but far from being horrible. I'd say this one is about average, thanks to Michaels and Vader.

WrestleMania XII
1. Vader, Owen Hart, and British Bulldog defeated Jake Roberts, Yokozuna, and Ahmed Johnson by pinfall
This was a fun opener that did it's job at getting the crowd involved. Plus, the right team went over and it left things open for feuds between all six men.
Rating: 2.75
2. Steve Austin defeated Savio Vega by pinfall
This was a solid match that was unfortunately held back by the Piper/Goldust story. These two gave a good effort despite that.
Rating: 2.75
3. Ultimate Warrior defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley by pinfall
This match really hurt that Helmsley fellow's career, huh?
Rating: .25
4. Undertaker defeated Diesel by pinfall
This was a pretty darn good big man match. This was also Undertaker's first real quality opponent at WrestleMania. It's a shame Nash left after this because he was really gaining momentum as a heel.
Rating: 3
5. Roddy Piper and Goldust fought in a Hollywood Backlot Brawl
This wasn't really a match, so I can't rate it, but the actually brawling was somewhere in the middle. The whole OJ stuff was pretty lame, though.
Rating: N/R
6. Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Hart by pinfall to win the WWF Championship
***Match Of The Night***
This is one of the most legendary matches of all time and for good reason. In my opinion, these are the two greatest wrestlers I have ever seen and they prove that here. Awesome, awesome stuff.
Rating: 4.25
No one ever seems to consider this as one of the better WrestleMania's. For my money, it's a pretty solid show. It features one of my favorite WrestleMania matches of all time and a solid undercard. You can't go wrong with that.

Royal Rumble 1996
1. Ahmed Johnson defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification
This was the typical Ahmed slopfest, but they kept this quick paced, which helped the flow. Still, the DQ was an easy way out.
Rating: 1.25 (out of 5)
2. The Smoking Gunns defeated The Body Donnas by pinfall
This started off good, but kind of lost it's luster down the stretch. Why the WWE doesn't have some of the divas watch tapes of Sunny is beyond me. She was top notch.
Rating: 1.75
3. Goldust defeated Razor Ramon by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship
The first 10 minutes or so are all story with no workrate. However, they got over the Goldust character without really hurting Razor too much.
Rating: .5
4. Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble
This was a little predictable, but it was well booked. I loved how great Vader looked, even if they botched the rest of his run with the company.
Rating: 3.25
5. Undertaker defeated Bret Hart by disqualification
***Match Of The Night***
This was a good match, as expected. The more I watch these old shows, the more respect I have for Bret. I'm not a fan of the ending, but it led to the top two feuds at WrestleMania.
Rating: 3.75
Well, I have to say I liked this show a lot better than I remember. However, the first three matches are nothing worth seeing. The top two matches are over half of the show and are both pretty good, especially if you're a Michaels/Hart/Undertaker fan.

SummerSlam 1995
1. Hakushi defeated 1-2-3 Kid by pinfall
I love this match. Hakushi was a breath of fresh air at this time and Waltman was pretty awesome as well. You didn't see many matches like this at the time in the WWF and I still stand by this being one of the most overlooked matches in WWF history.
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
2. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Bob Holly by pinfall
This was essentially an extended squash match, but it was decent for what it was.
Rating: 1.75
3. The Smoking Gunns defeated Jacob and Eli Blu by pinfall
This was a fast paced outing, which made it much more enjoyable. Had this gone longer, this probably wouldn't have been as good as it was.
Rating: 2
4. Barry Horowitz defeated Skip by pinfall
This was a great storyline and the Pittsburgh crowd ate it up. These two guys had pretty good chemistry and it led to a satisfying match.
Rating: 2.75
5. Bertha Faye defeated Alundra Blayze by pinfall to win the WWF Women's Championship
Considering Bertha Faye was in this match, this was not bad. Harvey Wippleman played his character well in this match.
Rating: 1.5
6. Undertaker defeated Kama by putting him in the casket
This was a much better match that I anticipated. Had it been 3-5 minutes shorter, it would have probably scored a better rating.
Rating: 1.75
7. Bret Hart defeated Isaac Yankem by disqualification
It's matches like this where you really see how good Bret really was. He worked his butt off, as did Yankem, and the result was a entertaining match, despite the silly story.
Rating: 3.5
8. Shawn Michaels defeated Razor Ramon in a ladder match to win the Intercontinental Championship
***Match Of The Night***
Although not as good as the first one, they came pretty darn close. There were some more creative moments in this match, but the flow wasn't as good. Still, this is another classic.
Rating: 4.5
9. Diesel defeated King Mabel by pinfall
Well, this is what most people remember. To be honest, it's not the worst match I've ever seen, but it certainly isn't good either. Bad ending to the show.
Rating: .75
I like this show a lot. Most people can't look past the fact that Mabel is in the main event, but the rest of the card ranges from solid to great. I love the opener more than most, so that definitely adds to how much I enjoyed this SummerSlam. Either way, stop watching after the ladder match and you should enjoy this show.

WrestleMania XI
1. Lex Luger and British Bulldog defeated Jacob and Eli Blu by pinfall
I still can't believe that was a match on the biggest card of the year. It's not like they had 14 matches like the old WrestleManias either. This wasn't horrible, but just pointless.
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
2. Razor Ramon defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification
This was a big improvement over their Royal Rumble matchup. Real solid effort by both guys and unfortunately they had the stupid DQ ending.
Rating: 3
3. Undertaker defeated King Kong Bundy by pinfall
Ugh.
Rating: .25
4. Owen Hart and Yokozuna defeated The Smoking Gunns by pinfall to win the WWF Tag Team Championships
The Gunns actually were a decent team, despite the lame gimmick. Owen was at the top of his game, there was just a little bit too much Yoko time.
Rating: 1.5
5. Bret Hart defeated Bob Backlund by submission
This is probably the only Bret Hart match I've ever seen that I've been disappointed in. This should have been better, but it felt like a Raw match.
Rating: 2
6. Diesel defeated Shawn Michaels by pinfall
***Match Of The Night***
No one seems to talk about this match, but I still think it is great. The ending is weak, but everything leading up to that point is very well done. Michaels certainly brought his A game, despite losing.
Rating: 4
7. Lawrence Taylor defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by pinfall
This is probably the best celebrity match in wrestling history. LT is a tremendous athlete and seemed to take this very seriously and it showed. Good effort to make this entertaining.
Rating: 2.5
This was a down time for WWF. The Diesel era is typically looked down upon and there wasn't a whole lot of depth on the roster. Despite that, there were two good matches on the card and an entertaining celebrity match. This show just lacked that classic WrestleMania feel, mostly because the undercard didn't feel important.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)
2. Undertaker defeated IRS by pinfall
Thanks to the way Undertaker was booked in this era, I don't think anyone thought IRS had any shot of beating him. However, I would gladly have taken this match over the one with King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania.
Rating: 1.25
3. Diesel and Bret Hart wrestled to a double disqualification
***Match Of The Night***
This was a very good match, despite the multiple stoppages. These two always had good chemistry together.
Rating: 3.75
4. Bob Holly and 1-2-3 Kid defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka to win the WWF Tag Team Championships
This was a fun match even though you knew the underdogs were going to win. This also set up the Bigelow/LT fight at WrestleMania, which was a pretty fun moment.
Rating: 3.5
5. Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble
This was the year where there were only 1 minute intervals, making this a fast pace match. What really hurt this match was that there were hardly any big names involved. This was Shawn Michaels push to the main event.
Rating: 2.75
This is one of those shows that never really gets talked about. There were two good matches, the beginning Shawn Michaels push, and Bam Bam pushing down Lawrence Taylor. Considering the time this show occurred, and how bad WrestleMania XI was, it's even more surprising how good this show was.

Great American Bash 2008
1. Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder defeated John Morrison and Miz, Finlay and Hornswoggle, and Jesse and Festus by pinfall to win the WWE Tag Team Championship
This was a pretty good match, but the worst team in there went over. I don't agree with that finish whatsoever.
Rating: 2.25
2. Shelton Benjamin defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall to win the US Championship
This was a really well-paced match that the crowd was into. There were a few sloppy spots that dragged this down a tad, but I enjoyed this match.
Rating: 3.25
3. Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer by pinfall
Did Mark Henry really need Colin Delaney's help to beat Tommy Dreamer? I guess so. The crowd did not like this match and neither did I.
Rating: .25
4. Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels by decision
***Match Of The Night***
Well, this was fricken awesome. Not that I didn't think it would be. I think I liked the Judgment Day match a tad better, but this was a darn good match.
Rating: 4
5. Michelle McCool defeated Natalya by submission to win the Divas Championship
This is another match where the wrong person went over. I would have to say that McCool is one of my least favorite divas and has no potential. I guess it helps when you're hanging around with Undertaker.
Rating: .5
6. Batista defeated CM Punk by disqualification
This started off slow, but was starting to build towards something and then Kane comes out and interferes. Terrible, terrible ending. Looking back, the Batista/Kane angle never turned into anything, making it even worse to watch this.
Rating: 2.75
7. JBL defeated John Cena by pinfall
This was an imitation of the Attitude Era type matches. I can see why some people enjoyed this, but it just wasn't something I was really into.
Rating: 1.25
8. Triple H defeated Edge by pinfall
This was a real solid match and the interference actually made sense. However, this was not the classic that I think these two are capable of. I think somewhere down the line we will see a great one between these two.
Rating: 3.5
Well, on one hand you have three real enjoyable matches on here. But there are also a couple of duds and a few terrible booking decisions. While the Jericho/HBK match definitely is worth seeing, this show is somewhere in the middle in terms of quality.

Survivor Series 1991
1. Ric Flair, Ted Dibiase, Warlord, and The Mountie defeated Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Virgil, and British Bulldog by disqualification
***Match Of The Night***
This was a fun Survivor Series match that the crowd was really into. I also like that Ric Flair escapes with a win by outsmarting the other wrestlers, even if it wasn't really dq-worthy. Good match.
Survivor: Ric Flair
Rating: 3.25
2. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, Texas Tornado, and El Matador defeated Col. Mustafa, Skinner, Berzerker, and Hercules by pinfall
Boy, was this sloppy. Although, looking at the competitors in this match, is that a surprise?
Survivors: Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, Texas Tornado, and El Matador
Rating: .25
3. Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan by pinfall to win the WWF Championship
I remember being totally shocked when this happened. I was a Hogan Hater as a child and was so excited that he finally lost. Of course, he won it back a few days later, but this gets bumped up for the shock value. Yes, the match was really bad.
Rating: .5
4. The Nasty Boys and The Beverly Brothers defeated The Rockers and The Bushwackers by pinfall
Thank God the Bushwackers were out of there quick. This was more of a storyline (the Rockers breakup) than a match, but there were a few good moments in there.
Survivors: The Nasty Boys and Blake Beverly
Rating: 2
5. Big Boss Man and Legion Of Doom defeated IRS and The Natural Disasters by pinfall
This was just to give the fans a happy ending. Even if there was no Randy Savage involved. Needless to say, this is one of the weakest main events (in terms of star power) in WWF/E history.
Survivors: The Legion Of Doom
Rating: 1.5
Overall, this show is basically known for the Undertaker winning his first title and Hulk Hogan actually losing. Other than that, there is one good match. This is most definitely not one of the best shows of this time period.
