This thread has probably been done many times before but I can't remember seing one during my short stay here at TSC.
What's everyones favourite PPV? I'm interested to see what other PPVs people have enjoyed just incase I might've slept on them.
Personally my choice would have to be the Royal Rumble 1999 PPV. One of the main reasons why this is my favourite is because my dad bought this on VHS for me and my brother for when we spent weekends at his house (his house was pretty boring for us young kids as he had no Sky TV/Playstation etc.). As there wasn't much else to do me and my brother would just sit in the room upstairs and watch this PPV over and over every weekend we stayed there and thus it sits well in the memory. Only two matches made this PPV great (I quit match and the rumble) but the filler matches were decent enough too.
As a kid I loved it and as an adult I love it. Watching it back now and it's so sad to see how poor the product has become. This PPV had a HUGE story going in to it with the Vince/Austin fued and the $100,000 bounty on Austin's head in the rumble match was brilliant.
The I quit match between The Rock and Mankind was just incredible and one of my favourite ever matches to this day. An absolute ******* war between them too. Mick got thrown off the stage and blew up that electrical box (which as a kid watching you think he's got to be dead) and took around 13 disgusting chair shots for the finish (which is extremely uncomfortable to watch back i must admit). Some other great spots in that match too. I always fondly remember The Rock saying "The bells will be ringing" before smashing Mick round the head with the ring bell
- absolutely loved heel Rocky back then. He looked like such a bad *** in that tracksuit he wore. And I think the peoples elbow he gave to Mick with the steel chair is the only time that the finisher has looked like it hurt the guy recieving it. Oh and this is probably the only time I've enjoyed Michael Cole on commentary, he sold Mick's beating like a boss. But you can only imagine how great it would of been if J.R had been at the table 
.
The rumble match was another amazing match purely for the Austin/Vince story that played out throughout it. I've never known a rumble match have this much of a story going in to it and then being played out throughout the match - absolutely gripping stuff. So many great bits in that rumble match, such as:

- Roided up Vince coming out as entrant number 2 looking like he could legit kick Austin's ***
- Vince luring Austin backstage to get jumped by the corporation.
- Random *** people being in the rumble. Such as Olga (think that's his name - dude with the Cartman top), Kurrgan, Dan Severn. Funny thing is that Olga guy was over as **** and got a bigger pop than most guys get today and they were all dancing to his theme (dope theme by the way) in the front row.
- Kane coming down and clearing the ring before getting jumped by some white coats. No idea what this was all about, anyone care to explain?
- Undertaker and the ministry coming out during Mabels entrance and kidnapping him.
- Vince coming back out to commentate all cocky and ****.
- Austin coming back to the arena and getting that loud *** pop and the look on Vince's face was great, that big ol' swallow he does when you know he's ******* himself.
- Then cokeboy goes and throws Austin over the top rope to win courtesy of GOAT heel Rocky
