This is the toughest one of all I think. I really wanted to go with 2016 because I find it super entertaining and I loved that initial brand split in 2016. But honestly the actual match quality isn't that great. 2005 on the other hand was just such a strong show, beginning to end. Never a slump, and everything felt like it belonged. Even if Hogan vs. Michaels was a joke, it was a damn entertaining one.

2016 has higher peaks but also lower valleys and I think that's what hurts it here. Would love to watch the card at any point, but 05 is the stronger show for me.

2005 as HBK over sold Hogans moves due to the fact hogan wouldn't lose the match , but the build up was really sweet
