The only one so far where I was thought "Yep, I remember this" was King of the Ring 98 b/c duh. Summer Slam 98 looks familiar too based on the PPV poster. It had to have been some point in 99 because I don't recall watching any without Michaels involved, and I definitely remember the corporation and ministry of darkness.
It could be one of the summer PPVs that you left off. I remember the Ministry of Darkness lasted for a couple of months at least.

Vince McLandis fave Lord Gideon Grey is in the crowd at the Rev Pro show, in full gear, live tweeting the show. It's wonderful.

That's a thing for some reason.

Anyway, looking forward to Reigns and AJ. Always enjoy watching AJ, and I'm interested in seeing where this Bullet Club thing goes. Is Finn showing up or what.

Rest of the card looks pretty damn good except for that Kalisto and Ryback match.
 
I wonder how Vince will decide who will take over Raw? Bingo game? Wheel of rassling fortune? Some dumb thing that comes to Vince mind?

This feels like an In Your House. Probably going to skip and wait for reviews before deciding on a watch or not.

Would not mind seeing things going back to 4-6 PPV a year. Rumble, Mania, Summer Slam, Series, Starrcade.

Is Kalisto vs Ryback even a feud?

Sort of.
This will probably get the belt to the big idiot unless he is somehow in the doghouse which I doubt. Kallisto will get banished back to tag team jobber status

It pretty much would have been.
I miss the days when PPVs were an event.
You had the Rumble. Summer Slam, and Survivor Series. Then you had Wrestlemania.
Now there are so many ppvs that most come off as over glorified Raws.
 
King and Honky Tonk are cousins, on air everything is fine but behind the scenes, not so much. What's their issues or Honkys with King?

At least SOME of them had build ups to them that gave some kind of significance the name. Now you're just recycling the name over and over with no real meaning. Or like EC or MITB they just become meaningless as they become more regular.

Shit, even Survivor Series isn't really the fun it once was.

In other news I've started watching Seinfeld. It wasn't popular at all in my country so I never caught reruns and stuff. Watched about 10 episodes, pretty good so far.

Bragging Rights was so promising. It gave Smack Down a chance.

This was actually the first PPV I've watched live (staying up until 2 or 3am to do so) so it holds a special place in my heart even though it was just average. I actually enjoyed the Cena/Orton Iron Man.
