The Show Of Shows.
The Show Of Shows.
This is a difficult choice.
NXT Takeover Brooklyn I is an excellent card, but more importantly showed that NXT was a national brand, and could sell out arenas. Without that shows success NXT would likely still be running Takeovers out of Full Sail.
Takeover New Orleans and Takeover New York may have had bettter overall cards, but I'm still leaning towards Brooklyn I since it meant more for NXT, WWE, and professional wrestling in general. I'll wait to vote maybe someone can sway me.
Mania 30. Streak ends. Bryan becomes bigger than Jesus for one night.
Nobody will ever forget Wrestlemania 30. It was also one of the greatest Manias ever.
I went with WrestleMania XXX. Overall, I thought it was a really good show and while there are some others on the list that did have overall better action, WrestleMania XXX delivered on an emotional level. We saw Daniel Bryan become WWE World Heavyweight Champion and we also saw the end of the Streak. When Lesnar beat Taker, it was as if the air was let out of the entire stadium. I was beyond shocked, I was pretty much floored. Part of me was hoping it was some sort of mistake, part of me was asking if I'd really seen it, part of me wanted to break down in tears, part of me wanted to rage at the heavens. The Streak, the one true constant that there'd been in pro wrestling for more than 20 years was over and none of us saw it coming. In order to even have a chance of balancing that out, you had to give the fans an equally emotional moment but a positive one; Bryan emerging victorious over the machinations of the Authority by proving once and for all that he was a "A+ Player" was the only way to do that and they pulled it off. Almost everyone knows how it feels to be told by someone, for whatever reason, that they're not good enough and they know the sting it feels, so having someone like Bryan, someone who definitely does not fit Vince McMahon's mold of what a WWE Superstar is supposed to look like, stand triumphant I think just made everyone, even for a brief moment, feel that all was right with the world.
