Okay, so my girlfriend knows I am into wrestling, and she recently asked me if we can watch one of my ppv's that I own. I am trying to get her into wrestling. I want her to understand why I like it, and possibly get her to like as well. So of the ppv's that I own that she said she was interested in watching, what do you find best for a first time watcher to watch?
She wants to watch either a WM or Royal Rumble, so the options are the ppv's I own. She has watched some of SD and RAW with me before. She isn't stupid like other girls and doesn't think wrestling is sillysillysilly, so we are not working with a ditz or anything, she is a smartie.

Though I'm tempted to say WM XIX, WM X-7 features basically a wide variety of match types and wrestlers, and hopefully should have something she'll like. Skip the 6 man tag and Women's title match and you should be good.

Personally, I got into wrestling by watching Royal Rumble '94, and got back into it after a 9-year hiatus by watching Royal Rumble '07, so I'd definitely say go with a Rumble. It's fast-paced and gives you a taste of a lot of different guys on the roster.

Tough call between WM X7 and 19. I'd say X7 simply because, while both were outstanding, WM X7 had a bigger variety of matches, which makes for a better introduction to wrestling in general.

X-7 is a good choice tho it's kind of long. Hope she can sit thru it. (itll be kind of confusing sitting there for 3+ hours and you kind of don't know who's who)
Also It would be nice to make her a power point of WWE with all the wrestlers you like are that are important aswell as the title history and what it's meaning was. I am currently working on a power point for my gf. So far I only have Hogan, vince, cm punk and the IC title

If you go with WrestleMania X-Seven, she might get turned off by Vince vs. Shane. For a first time watcher she'd think "This shit really is soap opera." and also it'd be a bad first intro to Stone Cold, as it's where he turned heel.
I voted for Royal Rumble 06 just because Rey won it, and he's tiny. It was an underdog story the whole way through, and he was doing it for his dead best friend. That could make someone a fan pretty easily.

Back in February I took my girlfriend to a viewing of the Elimination Chamber ppv and she enjoyed it and is now hooked. We go to a local indie show (Future Stars of Wrestling) everytime they run a show.

I chose Royal Rumble '01. You get about every thing WWE has to offer in this show. Great tag match, imo the best ladder match ever, HHH V. Angle, and what many consider their favorite match of the year the Rumble. If she enjoys it you can go ahead and watch Wrestlemania X7.

I'd go with a Rumble, simply because it's fast-paced, lots of action, and she can be introduced to a large number of wrestlers at once. 1992 had probably the most star power, so to show her what pro wrestling should be, that is a good choice.

Royal Rumble '01 followed by WM is probably the best way to go.

Well, for beginners, I recommend it because you won't have to take so much time explaining the feuds-it's just 30 guys beating each other up, and you can give a little intro to each of their characters as they come out.
And if she likes it, I'd follow it up with the Mania it precedes. For 1992, that would be WM8, an excellent choice. Huge crowd in a dome, solid card, and awesome commentary battle.
But the 01 series is good too. Well, WM X7 was awesome, though I can't remember how good the 01 Rumble was.

Honestly, as good a PPV as WM 17 was, wouldn't it be better to show her something a lot more recent? I'd go with the Royal Rumble 2008, myself.

WM X-7. Given further opportunities, go for RR 05, and SummerSlam 98 and 02 RR 2000 and Survivor Series 02 also good.
