RYAN HALL: Rumble, X-7, No Way Out.  Close call - but come on, Rumble was
the return of the Honky Tonk Man!

VIKRAM BIRRING: The reformation of ECW was the biggest mark out moment of
all time. The WWF had the fans thinking the FTW attitude was back, along
with ECW. Too bad it lasted about 20 minutes.

CHIP BOOTS: No Way Out was, top to bottom, the best show I've ever seen.

SCOTT WORDEN: Wrestlemania 18 was a great show this year.. REALLY great..  
No Mercy may have been the 2nd best show by the WWF with No Way Out being
number 3..  Some of the stuff on WWF TV sucked this year, but the ppv's
were not that bad.. I give them that..

SHOCKER 2K: Wrestlemania X-7 was so damn good, they even got me to call it
X-7. :P

DONNY L: No Way out was the best PPV of the year, Trips/Austin 2/3,
underated 4 way match w/ Pac,Eddie,Y2J & Benoit, even Steph v. Trish was
solid.. KOTR was 2nd with a great tournament, decent mainevent Austin v.
ChrisX2 and Angle/Shane killing having the most insane match of the year

JOHN C.: WrestleMania X-7 was the best PPV ever so it's the easy #1
choice.  Matches like Angle/Benoit, Vince/Shane, HHH/Taker, TLC 2 and
Austin/Rock made it unforgettable in more ways than one. There were some
bad stuff but nothing that took too much time. In second I like No Way Out
because it had the Austin/HHH MOTY, a terrific Angle/Rock title match, a
surprisingly good Steph/Trish match and the forgotten four way IC title
match. Royal Rumble had a great Jericho/Benoit ladder match, a solid main
event and a decent Angle/HHH title match. Summerslam and King of the Ring
were pretty good too.

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: Wrestlemania X-7, easily. No bad matches, about five or
six good-to-great ones. I think this may well have been one of the best,
if not simply the single best, Wrestlemania of all time. And that cover a
*lot* of territory... the Royal Rumble and No Way Out, the best PPVs in
their respective series since, erm, last year, get second and third.

RYAN FAULCONER: EMLL's March '01 PPV was a great show with two MOTYCs.
Super 8 2001 was was really really good as well and got me wanting more US
indies. EMLL's December 2000 PPV is third because its EMLL and yadda yadda
(see category 35).

WILL SCHLICKENMAIER: Even though it wasn't nominated, the ECWA Super 8 was
the best show of the year... tied if it could be with Wrestlemania 2001,
but since it can't, it can't.  Fact is, Wrestlemania was a great show.  
GREAT show.  But as recent events have shown, it wasn't that important.  
Austin's a face again.  McMahon's a heel again.  WCW is gone... the only
thing that's mattered since that is... well, not much, honestly.  Whereas
the Super 8 was so important in changing the face of independent
wrestling... it gets the edge.

SHAWN MULLIN: WrestleMania X-Seven may be the best overall wrestling PPV
of all time, let alone the best show this year.  There are little things
here and there they could have done to improve it, but it was as close to
perfect as they'll get.  The atmosphere was perfect, the wrestling talent
was unbelievable, and the work was great from top to bottom.  No Mercy
edges out the Royal Rumble for me because I really didn't enjoy the
HHH/ANgle heel vs. heel WWF title match upon second viewing.
