10 Best WWE In Your House Matches Ever

The first In Your House pay-per-view opened with a bang...

May, 1995 was the month when the then-World Wrestling Federation decided to go monthly with their pay-per-view specials. The previous year, only Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, King Of The Ring, SummerSlam and Survivor Series had been on PPV, but they were soon joined by the In Your House series. This allowed Vince McMahon to offer fans cut-price events which would help fill in the gaps between the major shows. Over time, the idea of monthly pay-per-view would prove to be a success, but it'd take the WWF audience a while to warm up to the concept. The cheaper In Your House shows were two hours in length, shorter than the three afforded to the regular supershows. They came across as lower rent too, but that didn't mean there couldn't be awesome matches for fans who did tune in to enjoy. Eventually, the In Your House branding lessened, and it became secondary to titles like Over The Edge, Backlash and Judgment Day. Still, even in the early days of the idea, some matches shone through to become completely memorable slices of action. This article looks at the best, all the way from the first In Your House on May 14, 1995 up until the last in the event's shelf life on April 25, 1999.
