Best WWE PPV Of 1995

[Hulk With A Mustache]

WrestleMania X wins the 1994 poll. Now, onto the year WWE brought in the In Your House PPVs, 1995:

Royal Rumble: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(1995)
On the one hand, this had a good undercard, with all 3 title matches being good, especially the Bret Hart-Diesel WWE Title match. On the other hand, the Rumble wasn't that great. Shawn Michaels won from Number 1, but the match had 1 minute intervals and featured a Who's Who of WrestleCrap. A victory over the likes of The Blu Brothers, Mantaur, and Duke "The Dumpster" Droese isn't all that glamourous.

WrestleMania XI: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_XI
The other horse in the 2 Horse Race for Worst WrestleMania along with IX. The Greatest Show Of The Mall featured a terrible Undertaker-King Kong Bundy match, Bret Hart's worst PPV match until 2010 (against Mr. Bob Backlund in an I Quit Match), and Lawrence Taylor in the main event against Bam Bam Bigelow. Said match wasn't that bad, but LT threw a whole bunch of forearm smashes and was gassed up through most of it. Also, Mr. Bob Backlund play chess against Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

In Your House (May 1995): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House_1
WWE gets on the road to monthly PPVs with the 1st IYH. The show featured a great Bret Hart-Hakushi match and a not-so-great Diesel-Sycho Sid WWE Title match.

King Of The Ring: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Ring_(1995)
Not just the Worst King Of The Ring PPV but also probably the Worst WWE PPV. Mabel wins the tournament over better options like The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Bret Hart shoves his foot into Jerry Lawler's mouth. And, Savio Vega wrestles 4 times in 1 night. You know it's a bad PPV when The Roadie and Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly have the Match Of The Night (no offense to those guys).

In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House_2
Another Sid-Diesel match. But, this time, WITH LUMBERJACKS!!!! Also, Shawn Michaels wins the Intercontinental Title from Jeff Jarrett in a great match.

SummerSlam: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(1995)
While this did have a bad main event where King Mabel damn near broke Diesel's back, it had a good undercard featuring another great Ladder Match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon, a fine Casket Match between The Undertaker and Kama, and a good match between Bret Hart and Isaac Yankem, DDS. Yes, I know that's the evil wrestling dentist, but said dentist later became Kane, so...

In Your House 3: Triple Header: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House_3
This PPV had an interesting main event in which WWE Champion Diesel and Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels took on Tag Team Champions Yokozuna and Owen Hart (well, British Bulldog substituting for Owen) with all 3 titles on the line. Also, Bret Hart fights a wrestling pirate.

In Your House 4: Great White North: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House_4
Here's why 1995 was one of WWE's Worst Years: it had not 1, not 2, but 3 contenders for Worst WWE PPV Of All Time. Joining WrestleMania XI and King Of The Ring was this bad IYH that had a boring Yokozuna-King Mabel match, Shane Douglas getting f***ed around by The Kliq, and Diesel and The British Bulldog putting on such a bad main event that Vince McMahon threw his headset down in anger.

Survivor Series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1995)
What a bounce back! One month after a terrible PPV, WWE puts on the Best Survivor Series. The event features a great joshi showcase, a fun Elimination Tag Match with heels and faces mixed up on different teams, and a great main event in which Bret Hart and Diesel beat the holy hell out of one another. This PPV basically planted the seeds for The Attitude Era.

In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Your_House_5
The PPV with the debut of Xanta Klaus, the evil wrestling Santa, and the infamous Hog Pen Match between Henry O. Godwinn and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. It also had a great main event, a bloody counterpart to Bret Hart and The British Bulldog's SummerSlam classic.

Survivor Series, easily.

Just Hulks review was enough to vote for Survivor Series. What a sad year 1995 was ! 1 minute intervals ruined the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania 11 felt more like they promoting celebrities instead of wrestlers, and other than ladder match Summerslam was mostly forgettable. And nothing needs to be said about King of the Ring, yuck!
