Ranking What Was REALLY The Best Wrestling PPV Every Year 1990-2020

29. 1992 - WCW WrestleWar

Steamboat WarGames
WWE

It's a pick 'em between two shows with seminal main events and absolutely dog sh*t undercards. Realistically, if SummerSlam '92 is the 1, then WrestleWar '92 is the A.

(Beach Blast was more consistently good than either, but the best stuff on it was long then and feels longer now).

The WarGames match is too great to ignore; even better than '91, the Dangerous Alliance were in sensational form in a super-creative, blood-haemorrhaging war, heated like a motherf*cker, that built expertly to inform Sting's explosive reckoning of a comeback.

Incredibly, the Steiner Brothers, being the Steiners, may have worked the more brutal match. They killed Takayuki Iiuzuka and Tatsumi Fujinami in a ghoulishly fun (and technically accomplished) slaughter.

Virtually everything else reeked of Jim Herd, mind, but Tom Zenk Vs. Brian Pillman was strong and damn exciting by the standards of the time.
