You can wipe your memory of one match / card

In order to watch it again for 'the first time', what do you choose and why? (Idea taken from Reddit)

Well, mine's not a TV show. It's a match from Wrestlemania 25. HBK vs. Undertaker. Man, that match really kept me at the edge of my seat.

Not a match/card, but so much as a build up. I'd wipe the entire first Kane/Undertaker feud from mind, because that was probably the best storyline from both a build and storytelling prospective to happen in The WWE in the Late 90's, being topped only by the M.O.D storyline.

Bret Hart vs Diesel Survivor Series 95.

Bret Hart knew he couldn't wrestle the monster, so he took the fight to him, took a beating and then first time I seen someone go through a table (other than Sabu who I seen on some UHF station). It was just awesome, because was and still a big Bret Hart fan, and I didn't like Diesel at the time, because he was buddy/buddy with Shawn Michaels, and called themselves lame shit like "2 Dudes With Attitudes" and wore sparkly light grey shit.

Probably WrestleMania X-Seven even though that's probably an overused one. Austin's heel turn without any knowledge before hand tho

Probably Punk/Cena from MITB 2011. That match and whole situation and feud was just perfect to me and probably the most I've ever been into a single match ever. It was just that much of a must see match for me.

Oh man this is a tough one, match i would say Shawn Michaels/Mankind from mind Games '96 but now that i think of it i don't think i could live with the DQ ending though. Safe option will be Benoit/Jericho RRumble 2001 love that match, for me it's the greatest Ladder Match of all time and IC match ever.

As for PPV without a question; Canadian Stampede 1997.

Flair's rumble win was special because it was his last truly masterpiece performance, and the match itself was more than likely the finest ever rumble match which I still don't see being beaten. It was also a new era with smaller guys being pushed on top.

Hogan's heel turn was pretty stunning as a moment and I remember tuning into Monday Nitro just awaiting the news of who the NWO's third man was, and when I heard it my jaw dropped:hogan:

Not sure about event many of the great ones have been taken. Really loved Wrestlewar 92. The face vs. face cruiserweight title match was very exciting with Pillman being just that little bit badder. The Steiners against Fujumi and Inserzki was full on gripping shit, the War Games was the most dramatic maybe ever, partly because Sting and his friends against Dangerous Alliance was one of my highlights of that era. The pop when Koloff and Sting got on the same page was something special:foley: and JR's commutary was the bitch! Also enjoyed the opener with the Freebirds and Taylor/Hammer. Love that Freebird jam.

Mine would be McMahon/HHH where Steph turned heel. It was the start of something huge, one of the biggest stories in the best era's.

Judgement Day 2000, dat Taker comeback.

I was never an American Badass fan personally, plus I think that finish cheapened what had been a otherwise excellent match.

Money in the Bank 2011. DB wins MITB, CM Punk wins Championship...great PPV

^ Has to be one of the PPV's of the last decade. Barely a bad match in sight.
