Topic: Wrestling?

i see #DIY and MAYBE the club going to Smackdown, perhaps enzo and cass? Not too sure. I still want the hardy's on smackdown, if only so i don't have to watch raw anymore XD

Smackdown is the A show, and I'm happy it's kicking Raw's ass with the fan reception it gets.

Please for the love of god though: KEEP ROMAN ON RAW! WE DON'T WANT HIM ON SMACKDOWN!!

OK!

It's the end of the year!

SO!

What I want to know, wrestling fans, is...what are/were your favorite PPV shows, and matches of the year!

I'll start to kick things off, and while I'll be using WWE for mine (since I don't like TNA and have limited to no access to other promotions), feel free to use ANY promotion and any match you've seen, long as it happened in 2016.


Tai's Top 5 Favorite PPV's of the Year (meaning all over show, top to bottom, filler and all, was one you enjoyed)

5. Battleground: For a show that was mostly ignored and considered "meaningless filler", because of the draft just about to take effect, and a so-so Summerslam just around the corner, this was a damn good show.

Sure, it had a couple flaws (the IC title match had a terrible ending, Natalya/Becky was a dud, the DB/Shane/Ambrose promo was god awful.), but everything else was great.

Fun womens tag match between NXT women, fun us/ic title matches (despite the endings), New Day/Wyatts told a great story in match, showed continuity, and wrapped up their storyline just fine, a fun 6 man tag, preceded by the single most entertaining rant Enzo and Cass have ever given in their careers, and two FANTASTIC matches with long term storylines, Zayn/Owens and the Shield Triple Threat.

4. Backlash: I LOVE THIS SHOW. This show is pretty much everything I love about wrestling. Simple, yet EFFECTIVE storytelling, GREAT matches, an fantastic main event and entertaining main event, a hot crowd...just the perfect wrestling show for me. None of the constant bloat and overbooking you see from RAW PPV's, and their stories, the pacing was great, the results were surprising, and somehow in 2016 in WWE, we saw Rhyno and Heath Slater as the most over faces on the show, and saw AJ Styles win the WWE Title.

3. NXT Takeover: Dallas: Debut of Aries, American Alpha vs The Revival, The best Joe/Balor match, Bayley/Asuka, and Nakamura/Zayn...what more needs to be said?

2. NXT Toronto: My favorite of the Takeover's this year, which is high praise, because all 3 Takeover events were great, and all three could have been on this top 3 list. But personally, I felt this had the best card of the three, from top to bottom. Roode and Dillinger had a good opening match, Mickie/Asuka was a true comeback match for Mickie, Nakamura vs Joe was painful as hell and better than their first match, IMO, and even the worst match on the card, TM-61 vs Authors of Pain, was above average, and could have been the main event of ANY episode of NXT on the Network.

The selling point, of course, was the big tag title match, and it delivered in every way...more on that later. (Hint Hint, wink wink)


1. WRESTLEMANIA 32...KIDDING.

1. TLC: See what I wrote for Backlash's entry. While Backlash started all these stories and feuds that I enjoyed the last few months, TLC brought all of them to a close, and, much like Backlash, gave me everything I wanted in the matches and in the finale's to these storylines.


Tai's top 5 favorite matches of the year:

5. 2016 Royal Rumble Match: While there was too much focus on Reigns, and some DUMB booking involving Reigns, I loved everything else about this Royal Rumble, and, the Reigns stuff aside, I honestly thought it was one of the best booked Royal Rumble matches in years.

4. Raw vs Smackdown Survivor Series Elimination Tag Match: Sure, it was an hour long, but this was, for me, the best SS Elimination Match since 2003, by far. It felt important (something these SS matches haven't felt in forever), had continuity between teammates, current rivals and stories, former rivals and stories, and just...it was excellent. The only criticism I have, honestly, is Shane McMahon being in it. Everything else about it, even its severe length, I loved.

3. Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens: Battleground


2. #DIY vs The Revival 2/3 falls tag match: NXT Toronto


1. AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose: TLC Match


going to bed, so no explanation for the last 3. XD
