Now I know this isn't exactly a golden year in pro wrestling but I'm nostalgic for 1993. I was 5 years old and in love with wrestling.
What are some events from 93 that you guys enjoy and or hold in high esteem?

For WWE, I enjoy every PPV, just because I seen them all live when they took place that year.
For WCW, I will go with SuperBrawl 3 and Halloween Havoc, just because I watched them on PPV that year.
For ECW, NWA Bloodfeast TV taping is pretty solid. That is when Sabu, Tazmaniac, Tommy Dreamer, among others debuted.

I was 10 years old in 93 and every wwf ppv was solid gold to me. I remember 1st discovering raw, seeing Mr. Perfect battle some jobber...begging my mom to let me stay up and watch it. Miss those times. Rip to them both. King of the ring always pops to mind 1st because I was the biggest Bret Hart fan.
I recorded every ppv on vhs back then and really wore those tapes out.

I liked WM IX that year. The Steiners vs the Headshrinkers is in my Top 3 all time matches.

I liked WM IX that year. The Steiners vs the Headshrinkers is in my Top 3 all time matches. Yeah,that's a good one, and very brutal for the American market at that time. I still say the 'Shrinkers made a legitimate attempt to intentionally injure Scotty when he was thrown from the center of the ring over the top rope to the floor, while the other Headshrinker pulls down the top rope so Scotty has nothing to break his momentum. As far as a whole event goes - King of the Ring, hands down. Bret vs Mr. Perfect and Bret vs Bam Bam are simply 2 great matches that still stand the test of time. |

1993 holds so much nostalgia for me. It was the year I started watching wrestling regularly. I think the first PPV I watched live was King of The Ring 93 so that one is special for me. The only WWF PPV I've never been able to really get into is that years Royal Rumble. I can't put my finger on why that is though.

I actually enjoyed that years Rumble. It has a solid undercard, and the Rumble was decent with a few surprises like giant Gonzalez debuting. I wish they had stuck to the original plan of having savage win it, but yoko made sense too

Bret vs. Mr Perfect from KOTR 93 = best match ever That was a great match. But they always had great chemistry together. |

When you look past the outrageous characters and gimmicks of the time, 1993 had a lot of excellent in-ring action.
The Steiner Brothers had a few unsung PPV matches against The Headshrinkers at WMIX and then with The Heavenly Bodies at SummerSlam. Their run with the WWF wasn't perfect, but they had some great matches.
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the opening match at Survivor Series that year. A fun match with some great talent. The hot Boston crowd was also great.
Anything involving Bret and Mr. Perfect was classic in '93 with the exception of Perfect's match with HBK at SummerSlam. That match looked like it should've been an all-time match for the ages, but those two just didn't mesh for whatever reasons.
Doink's biggest feud was against Crush and even though their matches were average at best, everybody else he squared off with in 1993 turned into a classic. His series with Perfect on Raw. Bret at SummerSlam. He even had a fantastic 2- out of - 3 falls match with Jannetty that summer. Doink made a strong case for MVP of '93 before Borne got fired and the character went to hell.
Razor vs Martel for the Intercontinental title in October was a great old-school match. Jannetty versus HBK earlier that spring ended up being the PWI Match of the Year for '93.
Some of my earliest wrestling memories are from that period. I'll always be partial to 1993, but bias aside there were some really great matches happening at the time.
