Just picked up some classic PPVs at a store...

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Curious. I've seen all of these but 1, and obviously know the results of it. If you were to pickup these 4 movies, what wouldja watch first? Not asking for help, curious to your personal tastes. They were 5.99 each, buy 2, get 2 free.

 

1. WWE Unforgiven '99 (6-Pack Main Event...E & C Vs. Outlaws)

 

2. WCW Superbrawl 8 (1998...Hogan/Sting, Steiners, Guerrera unmasks, Booker T wrestles 2 clinics)

 

3. WCW Uncensored '99 (Flair/Hogan, Horsemen/Windham and Hennig, Saturn/Jericho)

 

4. WWE Breakdown (Sept. 98) Kane/Taker/Austin, Rock/Foley/Shamrock, Edge/Owen

 

The triple cage of Shamrock/Rock/Foley *made* Rock that much more over, IMO.

 

Never saw Booker's two big TV title bouts back to back.

 

Personally, I'd go:

 

Superbrawl 8, Breakdown, Uncensored, Unforgiven

[Slickster 0]

I'd do the same thing.

 

Interesting choices, all, especially SBVIII (The only SuperBrawl I'd actually want to see).

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Well they only had like 10 tapes to choose from.

 

ONE of which was the first ever Coliseum Video from 1985, Bleeps, Bloops n Bodyslams.

 

The others were Vince Russo WCW shit...Spring Stampede 00, Halloween Havoc 99, Mayhem 99, Starrcade 99, Souled Out 00, Uncensored 00 and GAB 99.

 

Which are awful shows I already made copies of.

 

Wish they had Stampede 99.

Personally, I would go with Breakdown simply for the triple threat cage match.

 

where was this at?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

The PPV: Canada

 

The video store: Central/South Jersey

 

You know, that crowd at San Francisco for SB 8 was HOT, considering a couple of the stinkers they sat through. There's just a SEA of nWo shirts in the crowd marking out for Steiner's heel turn, Outsider's winning, Hogan posing, etc.

I would've gotten Mayhem '99 (in fact, I already own it) - some of that card is crap, but the opening Jarrett/Benoit match is really good, as well as the Benoit/Hart main event (though the Owen Tribute match was much better - I can't wait for the Benoit DVD to hit stores at the end of the month)

 

Kudos for turning down Uncensored 00 and GAB 99 - two of the most atrocious cards ever put together by Vince Russo and Co.

 

And I wish they'dve had Stampede '99 for you as well - that's probably in my top 5 favorite WCW shows EVER (and that includes the NWA days as well) - there's only one or two matches that really aren't good on that show, but the rest is just great. I even enjoyed the four-way main event, though the ending was kinda out of nowhere

Personally I really liked the last 2 matches at Unforgiven 99, Jericho/X-Pac was one of the last good X-pac matches and the Main Event was a fun brawl.

 

I got 5 videos for £15 in a closing down sale, Royal Rumble 2000(Better than I remembered),Our Time(A video of HHH & Chyna that was far better than I thought and has footage of HHH's initial Main event push complete with Chain Mail),In Your House 3(the Douglas/Razor/Kid feud rocked) Insurrextion 2001 and No Holds Barred.

Seeing as I own all of these on VHS, my personal choice, and reccomendation, for what order to watch them would be:

 

 

Breakdown (good show, underrated)

Uncensored 99 (alright show, but helps build for....)

Superbrawl 8 (surprisingly good WCW PPV)

Unforgiven 99 (i like this show a lot. 2nd to Last Russo PPV. You Might wanna fast forward the first couple matches though)

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I've seen Mayhem 99 like 7 times. It's awful, except for a very good Benoit/JJ opener and a pretty good Bret/Benoit ME that is marred by ridiculous interference after interference.

 

Breakdown is one of the more underrated PPVs the WWF/E produced, I agree.

Anyone who lives in Cincy or around there can get any WWF event that came out on dvd, the media play in Florence now buys old dvd's and last time I was in there they had every title begining with Wrestlemania 15 "the ragin' climax." Also Phils records have some old WWF and WCW events on tape, I picked up starrcade 93. With them its hit and miss, but I have seen almost all of the ppvs there at one point or another.
