Ed Wood Caulfield 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) I just finished watching WCW Uncensored 1997 on YouTube. The ending where Sting beat the crap out of the nWo is still awesome 11 years later. The crowd reaction when Sting punches Hollywood Hulk Hogan is amazing, as they were already loud and I didn't think it was possible, but they got even LOUDER. This is probably the best ending to a pay-per-view or at least the best ending to a WCW pay-per-view ever. If not that, then Hogan forming the nWo would be my first choice. So, I wondered, what are some of your favourite endings to pay-per-views? They could be anything from a wrestler winning a championship and celebrating, to a shocking heel turn, to something happening that made you want to tune into RAW or Nitro the next night to see what happened next. Some other favourites: -Mick Foley walking back to the dressing room after losing the Hell In A Cell Match to Triple H at No Way Out 2000. -Stone Cold Steve Austin chasing Vince McMahon to the parking lot where Vince gloated that Austin lost the WWF Championship (and the Smoking Skull Title belt) after Austin lost the Triple Threat Match against Undertaker and Kane at Breakdown: In Your House. -Eddie Guerrero celebrating his WWE Championship win at No Way Out 2004. -Shawn Michaels celebrating his WWF Championship win at WrestleMania XII. -Bret "Hitman" Hart celebrating his WWF Championship win at WrestleMania X: Ten Years In The Making. -The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin drinking beer after The Rock defeated Triple H to win the WWF Championship at Backlash 2000. -Stephanie McMahon's heel turn against her father and siding with Triple H at Armageddon 1999. There's more, I'm sure, but that's all for now. Edited August 7, 2008 by Ed Wood Caulfield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SummerSlam 97 was pretty good too, with Shawn accidentally costing Taker the belt. Warrior's return at WM8, as well as the win over Hogan at 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a huge Taker mark around this point, so dead man or biker, I was thrilled to see him back. I was actually at that show, and yes, the crowd went NUTS for Taker's return.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Gotta go with WrestleMania XX. Never been so caught up in the moment as a wrestling fan. Also of note: - The 1990 Great American Bash with Jim Ross interviewing Sting right after his victory was really awesome stuff. - SummerSlam 92, as mentioned in the best victory celebration thread. - Survivor Series 92 and 93 with Bret/Luger celebrating with Santa Claus. They should do that more often. - IYH: Buried Alive with Taker's hand reaching out of the grave a la Carrie. - ECW Heat Wave 98. Sandman, New Jack and Dreamer standing atop their respective ladders while Spike marches around all three of them. - WrestleMania XV. Just a culmination of Vince and The Rock getting a comeuppance for all the bullshit that they put Austin, Foley and Hebner through. - Jesse Ventura raising Mankind's hand at SummerSlam 99, anyone?

SummerSlam 97 was pretty good too, with Shawn accidentally costing Taker the belt. And watch the arena just EMPTY after that. WM X comes to mind first, not just for Bret's big win, but for the face celebration, the dark cloud that was Owen lurking in the shadows, and the World's Worst Announce Team shutting up for a couple of minutes. The twelve months that came before were depressing and ambiguous and this kicked off a pretty solid Spring/Summer/Fall for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I gotta second Heat Wave '98. When I think of amazing endings to a show, that's always the first one that comes to mind. Also: -Age of the Fall viciously destroying the Briscoes from RoH Man Up. Made all the better by the blood dripping from Jay (IIRC) onto Jacobs. -Heyman making a run for it to count the pinfall after RVD hit the 5-Star on Cena from ONS '06, and the subsequent emptying of the "ECW" locker room. -Guerrero/Benoit. -Raven debuting in TNA, stealing the NWA title from Jeff Jarrett after nailing him with a DDT, and then doing the crucifix pose on the ramp as a sign that reads "McMAHON FEARS RAVEN" in full view.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 See, personally I never liked the ONS 06 finish. I feared it would end up being some lame Dusty Finish type deal where RVD would have to relinquish the belt, so WWE managed to take the one thing I had wanted to see as a long time RVD fan and managed to make it dubious. SummerSlam 1992 has my favorite ending ever to a PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 One of my favorite matches ever was the Austin/Dude Love title match with Vince as the referee and his stooges as the enforcers. Vince had emphatically said that the match would end "by my hand only" and that if Austin layed a finger on him, he would lose the strap. Austin ducks a chairshot, Dude nails Vince, and Austin pins Dude, counting the pinfall himself with unconcious Vince's hand. The crowd was awesome for this match.

DarKnight 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, I don't know how anyone could mention ONS 06 on here, since that finish made me more nervous than happy, because I thought Vince might do the most sleazy thing ever, by having RVD get the win at ONS so the crowd wouldn't riot, just so the next day when they're away from that crazy crowd, they would say RVD wasn't the champion after all. I was glad the next night on Raw, they officially made RVD the champion. I bet that Orton and (you know who) match at SS 04 is really bizarre to watch now. As for another PPV with an awesome finish, how about Sid showing up at the end of the GAB 99?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Stampede 1997 with the Hart family celebrating in Calgary. Shawn Michaels after beating Diesel at the In Your House after WrestleMania 12. He's chalk full of legit emotion after the win.
