WWE's Top 10 PPV matches of the year so far
2015 has been a big year for the WWE. The main event of its first pay-per-view was a masterpiece, and so many matches this year have been incredible, since then. If this was a top ten list of WWE matches in general this year, it would just be listing John Cena’s United States Championship Open Challenge matches, so for this list I will be considering only pay-per-view matches.To make things clear, Elimination Chamber counts as a pay-per-view, but The Beast In The East and WWE at Madison Square Garden do not count.So what I will be considering are matches from the ten pay-per-views so far, and I will only enter one match per event. So despite how many great matches there were at WrestleMania, I’m only going to consider the best one.It should also be noted that I am considering things like shock value and high stakes, and not just pure wrestling quality. NXT is not being considered. This is an opinionised article. It is my own view and you do not have to agree with it.
#10 Luke Harper vs Dean Ambrose (Chicago Street Fight) - Extreme Rules
The Extreme Rules of this year was completely lacking as compared to the spectacle that it was last year. There were no standout matches or anything much to be remembered. The main event featured an SKO because Seth Rollins’ curb stomp had recently been banned, Rusev and John Cena bored everyone, and Dolph Ziggler kissed Sheamus’ pale arse
The only two stand out matches were The Big Show vs Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing match and Dean Ambrose vs Luke Harper in a Chicago Street Fight.
While the former was a good match in itself, in fact, quite surprising, the thing that makes the opening match special was that it was nearly an hour long. Harper and Abrose brawled into the arena and eventually got into a car and drove off to somewhere while still wrestling! Because of the stipulation of the match, it had to continue, and after the next few matches had taken place, they came back to the arena and into the ring, where Harper was pinned. This was Ambrose’s first victory on pay-per-view as a singles’ competitor.
