Every WWE Pay-Per-View Review by John Canton

wwe wrestlemania

This is a page that is going to come in handy for you, the reader of TJRWrestling. It’s going to be a listing of every WWE pay-per-view review that I, John Canton, has ever written.

Some of them were written live as the show took place and others were written many years later.

The order below will go from when the pay-per-view took place starting with WrestleMania 1 in 1985, a listing of the date and what the main event of the show was with the winner of the match listed first. The PPVs that I have written reviews for will be there in the blue links. The ones that are not on TJRWrestling yet will be in regular text. Click on the blue links to read the reviews.

Note: This does not include UK-only PPVs that WWE started doing in 1997 for a few years or an Australia show in 2002. Maybe one day I’ll get to them, but it’s not a priority.

I don’t know how many shows in total there are, how many matches in total or how many words, but it’s been a lot of work and a lot of fun for me to do. Thank you so much for your support. Let’s get to it.
