RR2000 is waaaaay too high on the list and I think Summerslam 2013 is only that high so they have a recent PPV on there.

Outside of Jack/Payne vs. Nasty Boys and Flair/Steamboat, I can't see why Spring Stampede '94 should be ranked so highly. Definitely not higher than GAB '89 at any rate. Also, how Summerslam 2002 only makes the HM's is completely beyond me, that's easily the standard bearer for that PPV. My final complaint is Canadian Stampede being ranked so low. It may have only had a few matches, but each and every one of them was top notch...all killer and no filler so to speak. I'd easily rank it above both RR 2000 and Spring Stampede 1994, probably 'Mania III as well except that I recognize the historical significance of the show and don't mind it being ranked so high.

Tbh I also think GAB 1989 could be ranked above 'Mania X-7, but since its WWE's list I realize why they didn't do that. I also don't have a problem with them putting X-7 at the top, even if I don't think its their best PPV ever.

Why is SS 2013 that high? I mean seriously. Outside of Punk/Lesnar and Cena/Bryan, there wasnt anything that made it special.

I'm not going to complain about the order since it's a WWE list. There's always going to be wacky listings. I will say I'm disappointed at the lack of WCW 1992. SuperBrawl II, Wrestle War and Beach Blast was one of the best trio of PPV's ever. I don't think you can find a better three PPV series in WWE, WCW or ECW history. Each PPV featured about three 4 star matches and a few enjoyable undercard matches. There's only a few PPV's on their list that can even compare to those three PPV's.

It's hard to imagine that WM 14 isn't on this list, since it's a WWE list. Honestly, whether it was one of my favorites or not, it's the PPV that really solidified the WWF into pushing passed WCW. They brought Tyson in and gave Austin the belt, and off to the races they went. I would expect it to at least be ranked, more significant than Bad Blood 2004. Haha
