To Battle Is Honor, To Win Is Hell is the tagline for this pay per view. I genuinely have no idea what that means. The poster for this show features Ultimate Warrior which is an interesting choice. He makes his King Of The Ring PPV debut tonight when he takes on Jerry “The King” Lawler. Lawler has been a part of every KOTR PPV whether … Continue reading King Of The Ring 96
Shawn Michaels and Diesel made Good Friends but now they make Better Enemies. That is the main selling point of this first PPV off the back of Wrestlemania 12. At this point in time the first show after Wrestlemania sets the ball rolling for the next year in WWE. And it kicks off the same way the previous one, with Diesel and Shawn Michaels battling … Continue reading In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies
In Your House 5, the festive show that was broadcast 8 days before Christmas 1995. So you’ll notice a festive theme throughout this show. That makes me feel warm and nostalgic inside. But what’s on the card tonight? Well expect 6 matches, the standard for an In Your House pay per view as they only run 2 hours long. As we know from Survivor Series, … Continue reading In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings

We’re back for the final PPV of 1988 and it’s a Survivor Series 1988 review. Now I love a Survivor Series as seen last year when it was ranked as WWE’s #1 PPV up to that point in my eyes. This year is much the same with four Survivor Series matches including one big twenty man tag team match. So fifty of WWE’s top superstars … Continue reading Survivor Series 88
The fourth installment of Wrestlemania is very different to any of the previous events. This show is based around a 14 man tournament for the vacant World Heavyweight title. But why is it vacant? Well, Andre the Giant beat Hulk Hogan in their match for the title at The Big Event but only because “The Million Dollar Man”Ted Dibiase paid the referee a lot … Continue reading Wrestlemania 4
Royal Rumble time! This is the seventh pay per view I’ll be reviewing and the first Royal Rumble. Now I am a MASSIVE Royal Rumble fan so a pre warning that the rumble match will rate highly. It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the show pans out. I have seen the Rumble match before but not the rest of the show. … Continue reading Royal Rumble 88
Hello folks, I’m back with the next step of our journey through WWE pay per view history and the next stop is one of the most pivotal events of all time. Wrestlemania 3. This show in my eyes was the peak of the Rock N Wrestling era featuring the culmination of some of the biggest rivalries in WWE history. It had the largest indoor attendance … Continue reading Wrestlemania 3
