25 Best Wrestling Shows EVER
8. WWE Money In The Bank 2011
If it was a one-match show, WWE Money In The Bank 2011 would still make the list. The deafening exhilaration of John Cena Vs. CM Punk and its awesome promise of actual change was simply that special.
It was CM Punk Vs. John Cena, CM Punk Vs. WWE, and because CM Punk was your voice, it was you Vs. WWE. For one night, you went up against the unbeatable final boss, the boss that had tormented you the entire goddamn time, and you finally had the chance to beat it.
Punk told a layered story of escape. Watching him evade and counter every attack throughout the ultimate epic boss battle - it went 33:34, which was an aeon back then - was unbearable and cathartic all at once.
Money In The Bank 2011 was Why You Watch It.
It wasn’t a one-match show. Two matches of the six were actively bad, but they only went a combined 10 minutes.
The two titular matches were wild and ranged from very good to excellent, where Randy Orton Vs. Christian was one of the better “do a screwy finish before the match that counts” entries in WWE’s signature PPV trilogy.
