13 WWE Wrestlers With The Most PPV Main Events

Main eventing a WWE pay per view is what every wrestler aspires toward. Especially in the pre-Network era, the show closing spot represented the pinnacle of achievement. It stood wrestlers out as the guys who were over enough to draw the biggest crowds and sell the most pay per views. That's why you had guys like CM Punk who would obsess over main eventing something like WrestleMania. As the biggest show of the year, that's the ultimate recognition of stardom. It shows that a wrestler can draw a stadium sized crowd and pop the buyrate of the year. The WWE Championship also goes hand in hand with the main event spot. Whether as challenger or champion, a wrestler knows that they've made it when they start getting booked in consecutive show closers. Even today, following the demise of the pay per view business model, the main event spot still matters. Placement on the card is still the measuring stick of how over a wrestler is. It is true that we're in an age where the brand sells itself, but the top of the card remains the domain of the very biggest stars. In the entire history of WWF / WWE, the following are the thirteen men who clocked up the most main event appearances on pay per view and Network specials.
