Best opening match of a PPV?

[Riley Escobar]

I was going to do a poll but I wanted to get an idea of the suggestions first from other people

Ones I've got in mind:

Hakushi/Bret @ IYH 1
Bret/Owen @ Mania 10
Juventud/Blitzkrieg @ Spring Stampede 99
Angle/Mysterio @ Summerslam 02
Bryan/Ziggler @ Bragging Rights 10
Bryan/HHH @ Mania 30

I know I'm missing some piff ones so add on brehs

Owen v Bret was outstanding.

Special mention to Val Venis v DLo Brown at Summerslam 98

Daniel Bryan v HHH at Mania 30 had that big match feel to it.

My favorite is Raven/Jericho at Havoc 98, great mic work by both and the crowd was into it
Matt Hardy vs Rey at Mania 19 is another good one

 

[PYRRHUS 88]

Technically not a PPV but Cesaro vs Sami Zayn at NXT Arrival was a 5 star opening match

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Daniel Bryan over the past few Manias that he's been in had me amped like a motherfukker

Did ya'll see how he had the crowd in the palm of his hand....for an IC Title match????

 

[malbaker86]

Bret vs Owen
Jericho vs Raven

Owen v Bret was outstanding.

Special mention to Val Venis v DLo Brown at Summerslam 98

Daniel Bryan v HHH at Mania 30 had that big match feel to it.

All 3 of my first choices. Especially the Val Venis vs D'Lo Brown match which was a surprisingly solid match.

I don't have the best but a very underrated pick is Finlay v. JBL at Wrestlemania 24.

Smash mouth brawl got me amped up for the rest of the show

and of course, the money in the bank ladder matches

 

[Big Jo]

Bret vs Owen

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Daniel Bryan over the past few Manias that he's been in had me amped like a motherfukker

Did ya'll see how he had the crowd in the palm of his hand....for an IC Title match????

To be fair it was like a 8 man ladder match...fans never no sell ladder matches with multiple people in it

 

[Osmosis]

Kurt/Rey at Summerslam 2002 is my favorite followed by Bryan/HHH

 

[Bars4TheCause]

Three Minute Warning vs Bubba Ray, Spike Dudley, & Jeff Hardy at Survivor Series 02

Angle vs Mysterio, so much action in less than 10 minutes.
