WT Extra | June 2023 Poll! (Patreon)

JENA: Hello Pledgehammers! Here are the options for this month's WrestleTalk Extra!

WWF King of the Ring 1993 (suggested by Chris Petrou)

The first-ever King of the Ring PPV! Oh what could have been if they continued longer. In addition to the tournament, won by Bret Hart, the card included an 8-man tag match (Steiner Brothers/Smoking Gunns v. Money Inc./The Headshrinkers) and Yokozuna v. Hulk Hogan.

WCW Great American Bash 2000 (suggested by Austin Shrock)

Gotta love the classic Bash! It was time for The Wall to take on Shane Douglas, Mike Awesome vs DDP, Hollywood Hogan vs Billy Kidman, Ric Flair vs David Flair, Vampiro vs Sting and Kevin Nash vs Jeff Jarrett for the WCW Championship.

WWF King of the Ring 2001 (suggested by Rob James)

“My Muscles Ache. My Mind Is Spent. My Body Is Broken. Lead me to my throne.” If that tag-line doesn’t scream Attitude era, I don’t know what does. This tournament PPV show, which led to Edge being crowned included matches such as The Dudley Boyz v. Kane/Spike Dudley, a WWF Championship Triple Threat of Stone Cold v. Chris Benoit v. Chris Jericho, and a Street Fight of Kurt Angle v. Shane McMahon.

WWF Insurrextion UK 2003 (suggested by Mr. Toff)

Live from Newcastle! And only in the UK! This final Insurrextion PPV featured clashes of Christian v. Booker T, Kane/Rob Van Dam v. La Résistance, Jazz v. Trish Stratus, and a Street Fight of Triple H v. Kevin Nash.

NWA: TNA Anniversary / NWA-TNA PPV #50 (suggested by Rob Burwell)

This was the first anniversary TNA show, which would go on to be renamed Slammiversary in future iterations. Chris Sabin faced Paul London for the NWA-TNA X Championship, Justin Credible faced Jerry Lynn, Triple X [Christopher Daniels & Elix Skipper] faced America's Most Wanted [Chris Harris & James Storm] for the NWA World Tag Team Championship, and in the main event, Jeff Jarrett & Sting faced the team of AJ Styles & Syxx-Pac.

WWE Bad Blood 2004 (suggested by Ryan Stewart)

The final Bad Blood PPV. This could have been Night of Champions as well with all the title matches on the card. Featured bouts include Randy Orton v. Shelton Benjamin, Eugene v. Jonathan Coachman, Chris Benoit v. Kane and a Hell in a Cell match of Triple H v. Shawn Michaels.

WWE Great American Bash 2004 (suggested by Garret Albright)

This show was opened by a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for John Cena's United States Championship, with Booker T, Rene Dupree and RVD as the challengers. Elsewhere, Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero fought for the Cruiserweight Championship, JBL faced Eddie Guerrero in a Texas Bullrope Match for the WWE Championship, and the main event saw The Undertaker take on The Dudley Boyz in a Handicap Concrete Crypt match. Yes, the one where Paul Bearer is buried in cement. That one.

WWE Extreme Rules 2009 (suggested by “He Ran” Aaron Hanrahan)

From one extreme to the other, Extreme Rules 2009 features Jeff Hardy vs. Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship in a ladder match, Batista vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship in a cage match, and Santina vs. Chavo and Vickie Guerrero in a Hog Pen Match. And don't forget, CM Punk is lurking around with that Money in the Bank briefcase...

TNA Slammiversary 2009 (suggested by Justin Edelheit)

Celebrating TNA’s 7th anniversary (and apparently Jeff Jarrett based on the poster), this mad event featured a Monster’s Ball match (Abyss/Taylor Wilde v. Daffney/Raven), Beer Money, Inc. v. Team 3D, Daniels v. Shane Douglas, and TWO King of the Mountain matches!
