I feel that WWE Royal Rumble 2007 is a topsy-turvy show but Cena vs. Umaga is tremendous as is the closing stretch of the Rumble itself.

WWE No Mercy 2006 proved to be the surprise PPV hit of the year, which included an awesome main event for the World Heavyweight Title.

WWE SummerSlam 2006 is as jam-packed with star power as you would find from any card not named WrestleMania.

I personally enjoyed WWE The Great American Bash 2006 in particular for the opener and the main event. Not so much the Punjabi Prison though.

WWE Backlash 2006 will always be remembered solely for the night that Vince McMahon battled and defeated "God".

WWE Royal Rumble 2006 stands out for one of the more unlikely triumphs in Rumble history. The rest of the card? We've definitely seen better.

In some respects, WWE Survivor Series 2005 is a perfect example of what the Ruthless Aggression era was all about.

WWE No Mercy 2005 has historical appeal, but as an overall wrestling show, there were far better PPVs that year.

WWE SummerSlam 2005 is a right mix on the quality scale. Some of the matches are very good, but others are a major disappointment indeed.

WWE The Great American Bash 2005 was less of a chore to watch than the diabolical Bash from 2004. But not by very much, to be honest.

WWE Backlash 2005 had its moments, with two great matches, a decent main event and Hulk Hogan creating memories for his Hulkamaniacs.

With a fair few enjoyable matches amidst a lively crowd, WWE No Mercy 2004 acts as a good showcase of the SmackDown brand that year.

WWE SummerSlam 2004 is a pretty good show with three of the main four matches delivering, particularly the final match itself.

So, yeah, WWE Judgment Day 2004 is one of the worst WWF/WWE supershows of all-time, though the main event is unforgettable.

See WWE Royal Rumble 2004 for a textbook example of how to book a Royal Rumble match, but not necessarily how to book a Royal Rumble event.

WWE No Mercy 2003 has one particularly controversial match which sadly overshadows what is otherwise a very enjoyable card.

Its reputation is hindered by how it ended, but WWE SummerSlam 2003 is still a card that is worth checking out.

WWE Vengeance 2003 had a lot to offer. The main event is great, Undertaker vs. Cena is exciting, and the Tag Team Title match is terrific.

WWE Judgment Day 2003 sounded a bit poor on paper and was even worse in execution due to some really bad matches on the night.

WWE Royal Rumble 2003 is a real mix of the spectacular and the sucktacular. One title match is a classic, while the other is a stinkbomb.
