Before I start I have to say that I am ripping this idea off from a YouTube channel I am a massive fan of, The New 80s Revolution, I highly recomend that you check him out he has a lot of fun wrestling content on there. www.youtube.com/channel/UCTEsyvvz3N2xIYfIiQoVZqgAnyway, with May just about on us it got me thinking about how excited I was back in 1995 about the new event, In Your House. Granted my excitement died a bit when I realized that there was no way for me here in the UK to watch the show until it was released a few months later on VHS. We would eventually get In Your House live starting with In Your House: Ground Zero in September 1997. Before that, we would have to make due with a highlights package that would air on WWF Super Stars the following Saturday. I always had a fun time with the In Your House PPVs and there were some damn fine matches on them. I thought it would be fun if we picked our four favorite matches from the various In Your House PPVs that happened between 1995 and 1999. By the way, this was way harder to pick just four than I thought it would be! Bret Hart vs British Bulldog: In Your House 5
I love this match and actually think that it is better than the one they had at SummerSlam 92. It is an absolute blood bath, but I feel that adds to the drama. Bret and Davey had great chemistry together and I think this match was the best one Bret had during this transitional champion reign. Shawn Michaels vs Jeff Jarrett: In Your House 2
This is just an epic wrestling match and two of the best at the time putting on one hell of a show. I was all in on this Shawn Michaels babyface run and I thought this match was the best he had during his 1995 run. From the live performance of With My Baby Tonight to the awesome attires and the match itsself, this is just a really fun match to watch. Bret Hart vs Vader Vs Steve Austin Vs Undertaker: In Your House 13
It was awesome that Bret Hart won the title again here, but this whole match was just so exciting and so much fun. It is this match that makes me think a program with Vader and Bret Hart would have been fantastic. This was a match where I think that any four guys realistically could have been the winner. This is perhaps the main In Your House match that I am bummed I never got to see live as it happened back in the day. Shawn Michaels vs Mankind: In Your House 10
If I were to do my top ten matches of all time, this would easily make the top five. This was just a great match and one that showed a more aggressive side from Shawn Michaels. It was the best match he had during his first Championship run and he and Mick just beat the hell out of each other. I do think all the "ga-ga" at the end tarnishes it a tad, but apart from that, I freaking love this match. Let me know what your four favorite matches from In Your House are.

Honestly this is tougher than I thought at first.
IYH: Final Four - Bret Hart vs Vader vs Taker vs Steve Austin
IYH: Mind Games - HBK vs Mankind
IYH: Good Friends, Better Enemies - HBK vs Diesel
IYH: Canadian Stampede - The Hart Foundation vs Austin, Shamrock, Goldust, and The Legion of Doom

I'd go with these as well
Taker vs HBK HIAC - Bad Blood HBK vs Mankind - Mind Games Bret vs Bulldog - Great White North Taker/Bret/Austin/Vader - Final 4
But these deserve honorable mention: Bret vs Hakushi - IYH 1 HBK vs Jarrett - IYH 2 Bret vs Diesel - IYH 6 HBK vs Diesel - IYH 7 Ten Man Tag - IYH 16 Shawn vs Taker - IYH 17

Tough choice...GREAT topic.
IYH Backlash 99: Austin vs Rock .IMHO? their best match. Also the last PPV under the IYH moniker.
IYH: Good Friends..Better Enemies HBK vs Diesel. Superb.
IYH: Final 4. Bret vs UT vs Austin vs Vader. Outstanding effort in all fairness.
IYH: Bad Blood. HBK vs Undertaker...Hell in a Cell. Absolutely incredible.
Many gems on the IYH ppvs....
HBK vs Mankind @ IYH Mind Games Austin vs Rock @ IYH DX Bret vs Bulldog @ IYH seasons Beatings HBK vs Owen @ IYH Rage in the Cage HBK vs Jarret @ IYH 2 Austin vs UT/Kane @ IYH Breakdown both Austin vs Dude Love matches @ IYH Backlash & Unforgiven Team Austin vs Team DX @ IYH: No way Out Of Texas
all perennial favorites too.

Nobody picking Diesel/Sid?! As terrible as those matches were, at the time I was actually excited about them lol. By the way I highly recommend the In Your House blu ray the WWE put out a few years back it's hosted by Todd Pettingil and it is stacked with great matches.

Good call on Rock Vs Austin I agree with that being their best match, but it very rarely gets brought up.

Lol as a kid I was excited for the matches too. I’m always down for a hoss fight and am surprised these two just never seemed to have chemistry with each other.

Austin throwing that trash can across the ring at Billy Gunn during Team Austin vs Team DX is still one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments ever. Great match.

In no order... HBK/Mankind- Mind Games Taker/Bret/Austin/Vader- Final 4 Bret/Bulldog-Seasons Beatings Taker/HBK HIAC- Bad Blood Those are my exact 4 too, although its hard to not have the 10 man from Canadian Stampede in there but being from the UK I guess I'll never fully understand how big it was at the time. Still, what a crowd!
