A new thread I may start here on FAN. A monthly look back at past PPVs before the next one airs! We'll give it a go
Often forgotten with SummerSlam fast approaching behind, since 1995, the month of July has had a long history of hosting annual pay-per-view events. From the early days of In Your House and my personal favourite, Canadian Stampede, to the first PPV featuring the WCW/ECW Invasion, Money in the Bank 2011, to the third (and second in July) Battleground this Sunday. What say you, FAN? What are your favourite PPVs from the seventh month? Below, I have provided a list of events and their marquee matches...
