The InVasion PPV is a lot better than my memory remembers. Excellent crowd heat and a truly wonderful video package before the main event.

The wife and I are going with a "gimmick match's PPV debut" theme - first cage match, first I Quit match, etc. We were expecting 30 to 40 shows at most. Turns out there's 87.

Highly recommended, provided you start with Charlie Brown vs. The Great Kabuki. Everything before that simply doesn't hold up. The first tag team turmoil is actually at Smmerslam 1999

I recommend rewatching the Main Event of Bad Blood 2003! That Match is waaay better than it has any right to be. Hunter went all mid 80's NWA Cage-Match on that sucker. Buckets of Blood in this, and the use of everyday Objects as weapons gives the whole thing a very violent feel. Having Mick in there didn't hurt either. Probably the last HIAC that felt special. I remember hating this match back when because I, little ECW-Bastard that I was, expected someone to bump from the damn thing. Ended up ignoring the great Match in front of me, because I didn't get the stupid Match I wanted.

I was doing a search for "Midnight Express" and of the 4 things they listed, none of them involved Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey or Stan Lane. All four were the "new" Express with Bombastic Bart (Gunn) and Bodacious Bob (Holly). But, that's not why I posted this. While filling in the search bar, they would list suggestions. So, I get as far as "m-i-d" and I see listed near the bottom: "midget matches". HOLY CRAP, MIDGETS! SEARCH NOW! Zero listed. Bunch of teases. My son was in the room, wondered why I wanted midget matches. I said, the midgets are fun to watch! "I don't like midgets," he says. How can anyone not like midget wrestlers?
So, I find WrestleMania III and show him the mixed tag match. He was hooked, he remarked how fast they were. (Yes, that's why we like them. Little guys are sneaky.) After 25 years, I thought Little Beaver just took a poke at Bundy. This is the first time I've even noticed Beaver slapped him with his moccasin. Fun times.

Best War Games match I've seen is WrestleWar 92 Sting's Squadron vs The Dangerous Alliance.

My favorite type of wrestling is old school WCW Clash of the Champions type stuff, but for some reason, I have this urge to watch the late-period WCW circus. I'm starting with Greed, and I am unnaturally excited for the Steiner/DDP main.

I'm starting with Greed, and I am unnaturally excited for the Steiner/DDP main. Turns out this Main Event is actually quite good. The whole PPV is probably the best Show this Company put out in Years proir to this. It's sad when you think about it.

Really impressed with DDP/Steiner, for what it was. Honestly, the show was solid all the way through. I'll say this, in 2001 WCW was starting to get it back together. There was a drive for new talent, generally logical booking, and a lot of passable matches. It was too little too late, but there were signs of life.

WrestleWar 89, the ppv that cemented me as a wrestling fan. Flair/Steamboat 3 is tremendous and the Funk angle afterwards is great.

I'm working my way through WCW PPVs from the birth of the NWO with Bash At The Beach '96 to the end of the company. Right now, I'm at Starcade '96.

King of the Ring 96 is a really great show all around, highly recommend it. You can really feel the WWF at a turning point, there's definitely a lot of Attitude Era elements in this show.
