But I also was at Starrcade 85 and 86 and a few Nitros at the GA Dome during WCWs heyday that were pretty big events too.

Maybe not the best overall card or the greatest match but I can say that I have seen Hogan vs Flair live in a steel cage at Uncensored 1999.
Cyber Sunday 2006 was surprisingly a really good card:
Rated RKO vs DX
Big Show (ECW) vs King Booker (SD) vs Cena (Raw)
Flair and Piper vs Spirit Squad (notable because Flair and Piper won the tag titles)
Lita vs Mickie James
Jeff Hardy vs Carlito

The Rock returning to tag up with John Cena at Survivor Series. Great time. Favorite time had to be in 1997 for Raw. My friend and I had seats on the entrance way. HBK and Anvil ripped up our signs, Vince McMahon shook our hands when he was done with commentary. Touched LODs spikes. Ect ect.

Some of the biggest cards I've been to:
WrestleMania 2
WrestleMania 8
WrestleMania 9
WrestleMania 13
Summerslam 95
Survivor Series 1989
Money in the Bank. The won were Punk won and then "left" the WWE. I forgot what year that was.
tons of Raws and Nitros and Smackdown!
I live in Chicago and we got pretty spoiled. Now I think the WWE will think twice about putting on bigger PPVs here since the idiots like to chant CM Punk all the time.

The first huge show and PPV I ever attended was SummerSlam 1997 at the old Continental Airlines Arena in the Meadowlands. I was 10 and it will forever be one of my favorite childhood memories. Hard to believe the twenty-year anniversary of that event is coming up this August. Looking forward to rewatching it with my brother. Time flies.
The other one I'll always remember was Survivor Series 2002 from Madison Square Garden. What an incredible show from start to finish! HBK winning the title was just amazing. I was a huge fan stemming back to when I first started watching wrestling in 1993. Only a few months prior he was retired and a comeback wasn't likely, so to see him back on top at the most famous arena in the world just felt truly special.
Other notable events I attended:
Triple H returning to Raw at MSG in January 2002. Insane pop! My brother and I also went to the Smackdown! taping the following night also at MSG.
Kane returning to Raw in August 2002 to take on the Un-Americans. Another huge pop. I loved his new mask/attire and couldn't believe how jacked he looked.
SummerSlam 2005. I swear my buddies and I started the whole "Let's go, Jericho!" chants to combat "Let's go, Cena!"
Survivor Series 2006 in Philadelphia
SummerSlam 2007 in NJ
Royal Rumble 2008 in New York at MSG
WrestleMania 23 in Detroit
WrestleMania 24 in Orlando
WrestleMania 25 in Houston
WrestleMania 28 in Miami
WrestleMania 29 at home in NJ
All fun, very memorable events.

SummerSlam 1992......... was an amazing experience and I cannot thank my folks enough for taking me, but we had floor seats that were really close to the back row so I could only see what was happening on the screens. Was still awesome to be there and I still have my program that I got. The Bret Hart t shirt I got though pretty much disintegrated after being worn so much lol.
When I think about it now as an adult it was crazy that I even went. We lived in Scotland so my parents not just had to get Summerslam tickets, but also train tickets to London, but also a hotel, food, merch and no doubt a million other expenses.

Heck yeah! I really wished I went to "The Wrestling Classic". That would have been fun to see in person. |

No PPV's unfortunately. Have been to 2 Monday Night Raws. Last one was the Old School Raw couple weeks before Punk left.
Tho back in the 80's I seem to remember NWA's Great American Bash being the tour of all their summer shows and went to one of those. Barely remember it and after checking Wikipedia, must have been the Washington DC show in 86 as I remember Dusty Rhodes being there.
