ECW One Night Stand 2005

While WWE events have dominated this list so far, it’s important to recognize other promotions as well. ECW One Night Stand, held on June 12, 2005, in New York City, was a nostalgia-filled event that brought back the spirit of Extreme Championship Wrestling.

This event was a celebration of all things ECW and featured a mix of current WWE stars and classic ECW wrestlers. It showcased the hardcore style that made ECW famous and reminded fans why they fell in love with the promotion in the first place.

While these three events are often considered among the best wrestling PPVs ever, it’s important to remember that opinions may vary. Wrestling is subjective, and what one person considers the best may not be the same for someone else. However, if you’re looking for memorable matches and moments that have stood the test of time, WrestleMania X-Seven, SummerSlam 2002, and ECW One Night Stand 2005 are definitely worth checking out.
