WWE Network Recommendations

Bored with furlough so got 99p WWE network for 3 months, used to watch between 1996 and 2002 but gave up due to Sky Sports no longer showing PPVs for free.
Have now watched all the Royal Rumbles since 2002, just after any recommendations for decent episodes of Raw, PPVs, matches etc.

Thanks in advance

I don't believe I've actually re-watched an episode of Raw in full of the Attitude Era since the early 00's (probably should actually), but anytime I re-watch an individual match or segment, I can't quite explain why but it's never as good as I remembered it being at the time. It's great in the sense it takes my back in time, but the context itself just doesn't feel the same - and that's removed from the crash TV elements definitely making it feel dated.

The one exception though is WM17. The definition of a timeless wrestling show! The ultimate recommend OP if you'd somehow forgotten about it

Undertaker Vs Shawn Michaels wrestlemania 25 & 26 both epics.

Basically you can't go far wrong with any Shawn Michaels match since his come back in 2002.

Actually speaking of Shawn Michaels, his match with Hogan at Summer Slam 2005.

That was epic! Fackin hilarious

Every time I watch I keep thinking, VAR? Would overturn a lot of decisions! Maybe they need to do a VAR angle, with a special guest assistant every week

The invasion episode of Raw where Shane turned heel and ECW showed up was probably my favourite one. Shortly after WrestleMania 17.

The whole invasion storyline is probably the peak of WWE.

The only thing that happened after that, that was interesting was CM Punk's pimp bombs.

Everything after that is just okay. Nothing special.

Reports of Punk & Bryan going to AEW emerging.

Window of opportunity for them if they pull it off. TNA never really pushed on when they acquired Kurt Angle, need to learn from their mistake.

Don't know if anyone would pay attention to this, but rather than re-watching old episodes I would strongly recommend watching the videos on YouTube produced by Wrestling Bios. His 'Reliving the War' series where he does a weekly 30-40 minute show comparing Raw and Nitro is excellent.
