I would recommend watching the Steve Austin Podcast with HHH which airs straight after RAW Tonight, as the one with Vince before Christmas was brilliant I thought.
Debating what other PPVs to watch in the coming weeks, here is my little list so far, any recommendations.
WWE Survivor Series 2001 - WWE vs WCW/ECW Winner Takes All
ECW One Night Stand 2005 - Fancy getting a bit more Extreme
WWE Backlash 2003 - Just so I can watch The Rock vs Goldberg
WWE Insurrextion 2000 and 2001 - More so 2000 as it was at the Metro Radio Arena
WCW Spring Stampede 1999 - This PPV is Number 1 on the Bleachers Report WCW PPVs to watch on the WWE Network, and from looking at the Matches it doesnt look like a bad PPV.

(02 Feb 2015, 1:41 pm)MrFozz Why did WWE stop producing PPVs over here, was it to do live Raw/Smackdown shows insteadNo idea why Fozz but I would suspect that WWE saw more Money through doing several live shows at various venues than they did a PPV over here, plus it allows more Fans to attend the Live Shows in there Local Area.

UK and Ireland would be the WWEs biggest source of business

Quick question when did WWE start showing Over The Edge '99 again, I always got the idea WWE put it under lock and key forever for obvious reasons...
As for Benoit, I think most of his PPV matches will be on, I saw bits of his match at Insurrextion 2000...WWE does not make it easy to find, a search on his name yeilds no search results, yet if you search Woman it does show up, I always thought WWE stopped airing Nancy Benoit as well as Chris Benoit...
So here is another question, were WWE right in the first instance to try and airbrush him from history, given that he was involved iń some important matches over the years and was one of the most technically gifted and hardest workers of his generation
(02 Feb 2015, 6:13 pm)MurdnunoC As I said earlier, The Sandman's entrance is great as well.I it was quite good, he did the same at One Night Stand 2006, I was quite disappointed with the ending of One Night Stand 05 as had the Brawl brewing between RAW/Smackdown for a good Hour and a bit, then Austin comes out which was a surprise to me, was expecting a few Stunners for the ECW Wrestlers but it didnt happen, getting back to the Brawl it was utter shit, Only highlights for me were Benoit vs Eddie, Jericho vs Storm and Awesome vs Tanaka.

Just realised that the WWE Network version of The Sandman's entrance at ONS 2005 is heavily edited.
Here's the unedited version with the crowd all singing along to The Sandman's ECW Entrance theme: Enter Sandman by Metallica.
Makes it a little more special and interesting.
I see Rikishi is the latest Hall of Fame inductee to be announced, to be inducted by The Usos
I will never forget seeing WWE at Newcastle in 2005 Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty were tagging, after they won there match, Rikishi got a bairn in the ring to celebrate with them, he asked the kid to sit in the corner, the kid does so, Rikishi motioned for the Stinkyface...I never seen anyone so horrified in all my life, kid shot out the ring
If that was me, I woukd have sat there and said 'Do you worst big man'
Would recommend watching NXT Takeover: Rivals, Just sat and watched it myself and was a good PPV.
Highlights for me had be Adrian Neville vs Finn Balor and the Fatal 4 Way for the NXT Womens Championship, if only we had Divas Matches last so long and have good level of competiveness on RAW and Smackdown, Personally loved Balors Entrance, it freaking awesome and the bonus was he was painted up aswell which looked cool, The Match was very good also.
As for the NXT Championship Match, Kevin Owens (Steen) vs Sami Zayn, well it was like watching Lesnar vs Cena from Summerslam last year with a rather Bullshit ending which I still cant get head around, The Referee called for the Match to end after Zayn took 4 Powerbombs in a row and was unable to continue, then the referee awarded Owens the Championship thus making him the Champion, I thought if the Match was ended due to said Wrestler being unable to continue, in this case Zayn then he retains the Championship but Owens is still the Winner, I think even the fans in attendance were quite confused by this, other than that it was an alright match.
