The second of the One Night Stand ppvs after WWE had acquired the assets of the once 'extreme' brand back in 2003. Thankfully we had Sabu on call this evening to ensure there were some insane elements of the good old ECW days on show.

It's the Hardy Boyz vs The Dudley Boyz vs 'Christian' and Edge. Wait, what? Don't you mean Edge and Christian? Jesus Christ Howard Finkel sort your life out. Oh and there's tables, ladders and chairs. Lots of them.

As diabolical as it is delightful. A thing of beauty and despair all in one place. Honestly, this is a match you need to see for so many insane reasons. A Texas Death Match, sure what could possibly go wrong!

Simply one of the most defining matches in WWF History and a true turning point for the company. This was a masterclass in wrestling, a masterclass in storytelling and the start of The iconic Attitude era.

Pentagon Dark takes on 'The Machine' Brian Cage in a Last Man Or Machine Standing Match For The Lucha Underground Championship.

After 18 shows of the 2017 G1 Climax it all came down to this epic final battle between Kenny 'The Cleaner' Omega and Tetsuya 'F*ck you WWE I'm outta here' Naito to decide who will earn a chance to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom.

There's a lot to be said about a good ladder match, and this is definitely one of them. There's a lot to be said about a good live band, the DX band is definitely not one of them. Listen as we discuss this combination collide. Jim Johnston, you have a lot to answer for!

There's iconic Hell in the Cell matches. This isn't quite one of them, but sure we'll talk about it anyway.

It’s the 29th March 1987. It’s Wrestlemania III. It’s a time of big sweaty sacks of meat bouncing around the ring. It’s the time Macho Man Randy Savage and Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat changed that perception of Wrestling forever.
