I could be missing some obvious ones, but I feel like these shows have the most praise.

As fun as Evolution was (I want to see it again!), I'd replace that with Extreme Rules 2012.

How is Wrestlemania 35 in the running? It was awful.

I enjoyed Survivor Series 2016. The Goldberg finish. A decent survivor series men's match.
Extreme rules 2016? AJ vs Reigns, Intercontinental 4 way.

It's Money in the Bank 2011 by a fair amount. There is some competition (Mania 30, Survivor Series 2014, Extreme Rules 2012, Summerslam 2013, TLC 2012, TLC 2013) but none had the right mix of winners, storytelling, and insane atmosphere as Money in the Bank 2011.

Obviously the one with Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella.

Wrestlemania 30 is still the best show I've seen in years. MITB 2011 is a close second

How is Wrestlemania 35 in the running? It was awful. It was way too long and match quality wise nothing special other than Bryan/Kofi, but it was the happiest I've seen WWE fans after a show in a long time. Won't get my vote, but that has to count for something. |

How is Wrestlemania 35 in the running? It was awful. Because it took nearly the entire decade to finish. |

I'm kind of looking at 35 as Mania and Mania 1a. Mania was incredible -- probably the best PPV I've seen since I started watching again, culminating in *definitely* the most emotionally rewarding match I've seen since then.
1a started after that, and it was the kind of dogshit I've come to expect from modern WWE: A neverending HHH crawl, a bafflingly awful booking decision in Angle vs. Corbin, Roman being boring, and a main event that people were too exhausted to get properly invested in that ended in an obvious botch.
I'd probably give Mania an A, and Mania 1a a D -- and that feels generous.

Won't get my vote, but that has to count for something. Kofi / Bryan was very good. Most of my problems with the event come from WWE trying to force how special Wrestlemania is by reminding we the viewers every sixty seconds instead of letting the performers show us and the event speaking for itself. I bet Cole, Graves and Rene were exhausted. |

MITB '11 was such an exciting show. It really felt like the company might turn their stagnant creative direction around overnight. Then Kevin Nash texted himself...

Wrestlemania 30 hands down. The culmination of so much things. It was perfect wasn't crazy long and it was a fun show.

Other, WrestleMania 31 for me. Just a great show. 35 is my fav since then though, had a great time watching it.

30 is just a perfectly booked wrestling show.
Although MITB 2011 runs it damn close.

Obviously the one with Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella. As opposed to the one with a 14 woman match that went 6.5 minutes and had such stalwarts as Eva Marie, Cameron, and Rosa Mendes? |

Rewatching Mania 30 recently, it has nice moments but not many genuinely entertaining matches.
It has an hour of great content between Bryan's two matches and the Streak ending, but not much else that's above average. Even the match with the Streak sucked because Taker was concussed.
Money in the Bank 2011 is a superior show in almost all respects.
