Royal rumble 2016

Ambrose/owens: they had an amazing war with some really great spots and this was the perfect way to start ambroses title run (although i dont remember how long is lasted) (5 stars)

Newday/usos: a story of course would have elevated this further but as it was its hard for these two teams to have a bad match as they have just such amazing chemsitry with each other (3 stars)

Kalisto/adr: a good solid david vs golitah type of match where the forumla was just executed well and they put over kalisto well with two us title wins over a legend like adr {even if lead nowhere still a good way to put him over} (3 stars)

{divas title was what flairs first run would become with interfrence so pretty skippable}

Royal rumble: not a much better way to tell a fighting underdog story with this one vs all rumble for roman; styles really did get a good reaction and commentary sold it well; fun little preview of styles/jerchio that we would get for i think the next two ppvs; another fun kofi/new day moment and cool comedy moment with truth; they did a good job starting to build up bruan with him getting rid of kane/show; i loved thr reaction of owens to zayn ans i loved zayn getting rid of owens fit with the story; i loved the mizs strategy of him running his mouth to avoid brock; that ending with hhh/ambrose was alot of fun no wonder they gave him a match vs hhh; look while it was overbooked at timed with LON and wyatts it had alot of fun moments and did setup alot of good things for the year of 2016 (3.5 stars)

{to me this opening ppv of 2016 goes into the good tier of my tier list a 5 star classic of an opener with the last man standing match and very fun matches with tag titles and us title and while it was overbooked at times the rumble did setup alot of good things in 2016}

TLC 2020

Drew/miz/styles: I really can't say that miz added much to this but everything before he tried to cash in was strong with good violence and that leg work ans selling being strong also (3.5 stars) banks/carmella: I don't usually think of carmella matches as good but can honestly say this was her best match of this entire marathon that I've done as they really made me believe that she had a chance and her and banks worked amazingly well together (3.5 stars) newday/hurtbusiness: this was great fast paced action combined with amazing drama as these two teams work very well together (4 stars) Womens tag titles: pretty run of the mill forumla stuff but it seemed like a big deal when the titles changed hands and everyone enjoyed it so (2.75 stars) {roman/owens was skippable with the usual eyeroll worthy not only cant get win on his own cant even control a match on his own that would make alot of the 2020s unwatchable} Wyatt/orton: it was good for what it was with two evil beings t...

Extreme rules 2019

{opener was a skip} Usos/revival: a fun but run of the mill tag match between teams who did work quite well together (3 stars) Cesaro/black: this was a great hard hitting sprint with some awesome counter wrestling also (4 stars) {handicap matches are always a skip for me} Braun/lashley: while i do feel like braun could have sold his supposed injuries alot better and more consistently i cant deny this was a very fun battle of the beasts style match with the right anount of intensity and right winner (3.5 stars) Sd tag title 3 way: i honestly forgot new day won here thats cool in terms of the match it was all standard multi team affair but alot of fun moments throughout for sure (3.25 stars) Ricochet/styles:a hard match for me to grade as matches with interference like this one had usally automatically get lower scores or go into dud category but i cant really do that here because take away the prematch stuff and ending and this was some really strong workrate between the two (3 stars) J...

Survior series 2020

Mens elimination tag: I mean there were enough guys here who had chemistry with each other to make ita good match but at the same time the one sided nature of this match in terms of eliminations really limitshow highly I can think of this match (3 stars) Profits/newday: they just had an amazing competeive match with surpisngly awesome chemsitry for a first time meeting and it really put over the profits strongly (4.25 stars) {zayn/lashley was a squash} Banks/askua: they just had a simple competive back and forth with alot of amazing drama as I had no idea which way this would go (4 stars) {womens elimination tag was a skip} Roman/drew: the last clean roman match before his matches became unwatchable and what do you know it was great one as him and drew work so well together and they created alot of awesome drama (4.25 stars) [I have to put this show in the great tier as there was only in truly skippable match and 3 out of 4 of the most watchable ones hit the 4+ star for me]
