I didn't get my list in so I'm so happy to see 2001 get the 2nd seed as I had it as my number 1. Just barely above 2002.

1993 has Giant Gonzalez on it and honestly Luger should have won the WWF Championship here.

 

[Chris]

2001 made my top 10 but I don't rank it as high as most so I expect to be voting against it while it beats my favorites for a few rounds

It's way better than '93 tho, no question. I fucks with the Bret/Lawler feud for '93 but like Smark said Giant Gonzales and then the finish to the main

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I respect your opinion 100%, but man does 2001 rock imo.

It had Angle/Austin tearing down the house, Book/Rock, Hardy/RVD being insane, Pac/Tajiri MOTNing.

The only show that comes close for me is 2002 and I rocked back and forth which was 1 and 2 so if those two make it to the finals.

 

[Chris]

I fully expect 02 and 01 to make it to the finals and 02 to most likely win, slight chance 01 gets upset I guess since it's the 2 seed but I doubt 02 does.

That said, I'm really enjoying reminiscing about all these cards in the first round

Still cannot understate how badly WWE dropped the ball with Lex Luger. Yes, everybody in the locker room loved Bret Hart, but fuck's sake, it wouldn't have been hard for Vince to have Luger win the belt, lose at the Royal Rumble, and then play the exact same storyline for mania between Luger/Bret/Yoko.

 

[Lady Redfield]

2001 for me. I was super mad that X-Pac beat Tajiri, I liked Tajiri lol he was cool.

 

[Petty]

2001 hands down.

The OSW boys said just that on the Slam 93 review. And I agree. They could have given Lex the belt til the rumble. By then they would have gotten a sense of if he could sink or swim as champ.

01 is so stacked! "Let the bodies hit the FLOOOORRRRRR!"
