A positive version of the other thread. I'm watching Halloween Havoc 89 and it's a great show but it isn't often brought up as an all time classic. Other examples?

Fully Loaded 2000 was a fun show. It was the first pay-per-view I ordered at home at my parents'.
T&A with Trish vs. The Hardyz & Lita was a fun little feud.
Tazz v. Al Snow was a decent little match. Nothing spectacular, but still good.
Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero for the European Championship was another fun little match.
Edge & Christian vs. the APA for the Tag Titles was alright.
Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Championship was super fun, with an odd finish that really went nowhere.
Undertaker/Kurt Angle was another fun match with Taker kicking the crap out of Angle.
Triple H/Jericho Last Man Standing was a great match.
The Rock/Chris Benoit for the WWF Championship was another solid match with shenanigans.

King of the Ring '96 is as perfect of a show as you could get from the roster at the time, and Owen Hart commentary makes it a unique treat.

King of the Ring '94 is underrated as hell. It's a shame it's remembered for the dreadful main event, but the rest of it? Solid fun.
Plus, all of the Art Donovan stuff cracks me up.

Superbrawl 2 is a really really good show. Cant think of one bad match on it (even Sting/Luger, though somewhat disapointing, is still watchable).

When Van Hammer and Vinnie Vegas look good, you know there's something special in the air. Was this the Kip Frey era when people would get bonuses for having the best match? Might explain a few things. |

I love Fully Loaded 2000 so good shout.
Judgement Day 2000 is another one.
Too Cool & Rikishi vs Angle, Edge & Christian is a fun opener
Eddie vs Dean vs Perry is a good match
Shane vs Big Show is a good "schmoz" match
Beniot vs Jericho is good
DX vs Dudleys is good
Iron Man Match is a great match
No bad here at all.

I will always bring up Starrcade 90 in topics like this. OK first off, yeah the Black Scorpion angle is hokey nonsense and the cage match main event was bland and plodding.
Apart from that we have a solid opener of Eaton vs Z man, Hansen vs Luger in a great brawl of a match, a brilliant street fight between Doom and the Horsemen and a unique, fast paced tag tournament which ends with the Steiners vs Saito and Muta.
There are a few duds on the show but overall it's a great watch and the commentary from Jim Ross & Paul Heyman is fantastic.
Ditto Fully Loaded 2000.

Backlash 2007 is a fantastic show. There isn't a bad match on the card. Even the "worst" match (Lashley vs. Umaga/Vince/Shane) was pretty entertaining.
Armageddon 2008 is also an underrated show with a stacked card. Cena/Jericho and Edge/HHH/Hardy are both great title matches. Punk/Mysterio is quality and a rare midcard face/face match. Orton/Batista had the best match they ever had together (singles wise anyway). Matt Hardy somehow even got a decent match out of Vladimir Kozlov.
Survivor Series 2009 notoriously had one of the worst builds ever for a major show but I thought it actually ended up being really good. Team Orton vs. Team Kofi and Team Miz vs. Team Morrison are both highly enjoyable classic SS elimination matches. Cena/HBK/HHH is great. Undertaker/Jericho/Big Show is pretty good even if a singles match without Big Show would've been more memorable. And Batista destroying Rey is one of the most entertaining squash matches of all time.

Starrcade ‘88 is one of my favorite wrestling shows of all time.

Survivor Series 2005 is definitely a good example of this. With the obvious exception of Theodore Long vs. Eric Bischoff, and also maybe Trish Stratus vs. Melina, the whole card was actually really good.
Another example from that same year was Judgment Day. I didn't care for OJ vs. Heidenreich or Big Show vs. Carlito, but I did like the rest of the card.

That's the one where Rock was supposed to face the winner of Undertaker vs. Angle, but Taker tapped out to a choke just as the ref counted 3 after a Last Ride. So they turned into a 3-way. One of my favorite SD shows was the go-home to that PPV. |

One of my favorite SD shows was the go-home to that PPV. That was for 2002, though that was another solid show as well with Rock/Angle/Taker, Booker/Show, Spike/Bubba vs. Benoit/Guerrero and RVD/Lesnar. 2003 was the best Smackdown PPV, IMO. You had a great PPV with Lesnar/Angle/Show, Benoit/Guerrero and Mysterio/Kidman vs. Haas/Benjamin and the crowd was into everything, even the APA Invitational Brawl which was also entertaining. |

Superbrawl 2 is a really really good show. Cant think of one bad match on it (even Sting/Luger, though somewhat disapointing, is still watchable). Rick Rude's heat alone makes it a great show. 2 more suggestions: Spring Stampede '94 & Slamboree '94. One of the best 1-2 PPV punches ever, IMHO. Stampede had a fun street fight with The Nastys/Cactus & Maxx Payne, Bunkhouse Buck vs. Dustin was a love letter to 80s Crockett, Austin/Muta was great(despite the finish), Sting vs. Rude was fun and Flair and Steamboat had a great match but that was par for the course. Slamboree was a fun follow up, Sting vs. Vader was Sting vs. Vader. Nastys vs. Cactus & Sullivan was wild, Buck & Dustin had another bloody brawl, Terry Funk vs. Tully Blanchard was WAY better than it had any right to be and Flair/Whindam was pretty good. IMHO, these 2 shows are the last 2 major events that still had that full WCW feel before Hogan showed up. |

Against All Odds 2006.
Except for James Gang vs LAX all matches are good with Rhino vs Abyss, AJ/Joe/Daniels II and Christian winning the NWA Titles
