The Top 10 Pay-Per-Views Of The Last 10 Years!

In the last ten years there have been over 100 pay-per-view events, thousands of matches and many classics, but I've compiled what I think it the best overall ten pay-per-view events from WWE in the last ten years. Take a look...

10: WWE Unforgiven 2008

Jericho wins the World Championship despite not being sheduled to comete in the match

September 7, 2008 - Quicken Loans Arena; Cleveland, Ohio

WWE introduced a new concept for this pay-per-view, known as "Championship Scramble Matches". Each World Championship would be competed in a five-man 20 minute match, begininng with two men and another entering every five minutes after. There can be as many pinfalls as possible during that 20 minutes to become the Interim Champion and the Interim Champion at the end of the 20 minutes would be crowned the Champion.

Most notably, Chris Jericho captured the World Heavyweight Championship by replacing CM Punk (who was taken out due to being attacked by Randy Orton) despite the fact that Jericho lost to Shawn Michaels earlier in the night in a No Holds Barred Match.

November 17, 2002 - Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York

In the first ever Elimination Chamber match, Shawn Michaels, who had only wrestled once since retiring at WrestleMania XIV, pinned Triple H with a Sweet Chin Music to become a 4-time World Champion. The event was also notable for Brock Lesnar's first defeat in the company and every Championship match crowned a new champion.

8. WWE WrestleMania 25

April 5, 2009 - Reliant Sadium, Houston, Texas

This is the most recent Pay-Per-View on the list. The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania came from Houston and was so successful as it boasted what I consider the greatest match of all time when The Phenom The Undertaker stepped into the ring and put his WrestleMania Streak on the line against the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.

The two wrestled out of their skins and the fans in attendance witnessed something more than special. I liked their rematch earlier this year but nothing will beat this match. The greatest of all time!

7. WWF WrestleMania X-8

March 17, 2002 - SkyDome, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The last WrestleMania under the WWF banner, featuring a packed card. But it'll be most remembered for the classic between The Rock and Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Fan favourite The Rock was booed by the fans in favour of Hogan and despite loosing the match, Hulk Hogan's post match pose down was one of those great WrestleMania moments.

Also on the card, The Undertaker defeated Ric Flair to go 10-0 at WrestleMania. Chris Jericho walked into the SkyDome as the Undisputed Champion but lost to Triple H who capped off his return from injury by defeating Y2J and winning his fifth WWF Championship.

In arguably the greatest Survivor Series in history, we saw two classic Survivor Series Elimination Matches in which WWE put their stock in future stars as John Cena and Randy Orton survived in their respective matches in a sign of things to come from those two.

A vicious Ambulance Match between Kane & Shane McMahon is a must see as is the Buried Alive match where we see the very last of The Undertaker as the American Bad Ass.

WrestleMania went Hollywood and crowned both Batista and John Cena as World Champions for the first time as they dethroned Triple H and John Bradshaw Layfield respectively.

In other notes from the event, Eddie Guerrero lost to Rey Mysterio in what would be his last WrestleMania match before he passed away. Edge won the first ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Undertaker stopped his legend from being killed by Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle stole the show with their classic encounter.

3. ECW One Night Stand 2005

June 12, 2005 - Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, New York

This is the reason people should stop putting these Extreme Reunions on. This will never be outclassed. Classic ECW crowd, Joey Styles on commentary and a proper list of ECW Alumni. There wasn't a single bad match on the card and none better than the short but sweet opener between Chris Jericho and Lance Storm. These two men had their first ever professional wrestling match against each other and had a memorable one here.

Despite the WWE influence to have RAW & Smackdown talent "invade" the building appearances by ex-ECW stars like Rob Van Dam, Taz, Balls Mahoney, the bWo and more made it night to remember!

And top of the list is non other than WrestleMania X-Seven. The undercard was made of excellent matches such as Jericho & Regal, Angle & Benoit, Guerrero & Test, Vince & Shane and again, that was just the undercard! The Main Events included Undertaker adding Triple H to the long list of victims at the grandest stage of them all. The second TLC Tag Title Match and in a rematch from WrestleMania XV, The Rock defended the WWF Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin.

In one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history, two of the fiercest rivals in the WWF joined forces when Steve Austin and Vince McMahon shook hands and shared a beer after the match as Stone Cold turned his back on the WWF fans.
