    Greatest opening PPV match?

    So in your opinions people. What was the greatest match-up that opened up a PPV?

    Maybe give your top 3 if you're struggling to choose 1 or 2.

    I'll post my favs as an example.


    Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero - Vengeance 2003

    This was the match that got me into WWE and wrestling as a whole. Brilliant match for a pretty decent PPV

    1 of my favs of all time actually but this is about openers.

    Dolph Ziggler vs Daniel Bryan - Bragging Rights 2010

    Just my opinion, after watching this great match-up I was pumped for the okay PPV. I thought it was 1 to remember and I think this got joint first in a WWE list for best matches with Taker vs HBK too. Could be wrong on that 1 though.

    Austin Aries vs Samoa Joe - Slammiversary 2012

    I firmly believe this to be 1 of the best matches this year so far and 1 of TNAs best openers they've done. You may disagree but I'm okay with that lol

    Fact is, ruddy good match and got me excited for this good PPV.
