WrestleMania III wins the 1st poll. Now, we got to 1988, the 1st year of the Big 4:
Royal Rumble: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(1988)
Not really a PPV, but people count it with the other Rumbles. The 1st Rumble was basically a pilot for the event, with a 20-man Rumble won by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.
WrestleMania IV: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_IV
After Hulk Hogan got screwed out of the WWE Title by Andre The Giant and Ted DiBiase, the title was declared vacant and a tournament was held at this PPV to crown a new champ. Randy Savage wrestled 4 times to win the title, but Hogan still got to showboat at the end. Also, Demolition's record-breaking Tag Team Title reign began here; and Andre chokes out Bob Uecker.
SummerSlam: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(1988)
The 1st SummerSlam sees The Mega Powers take on The Mega Bucks in the main event. And, Miss Elizabeth shows some skin to help her boys win. Also, The Ultimate Warrior ends The Honky Tonk Man's 15-month Intercontinental Title reign.
Survivor Series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1988)
The 2nd Survivor Series sees tension building between The Mega Powers. Also, Demolition turn face, and Scott Casey gets on PPV! Yes, THE Scott Casey!
