Despite Vince McMahon and the WWE’s initial claim that all past WWE, WCW, and Ecw pay-per-view events would be available on the new WWE Network at launch, there are still a handful of unlisted events.
Most of these pay-per-views were one-off showings and are incredibly rare and easily forgotten. The Network does provide all major pay-per-view events — even surprisingly (and somewhat questionably), including Over the Edge ‘99, which was the night of Owen Hart’s tragic death.

With the arrival of the WWE Network comes a vast library of wrestling programming. With so much content to choose from now is the perfect time to play some wrestling drinking games.
Drinking rules have become extremely popular when watching films or television programs and sporting events, especially amongst students, so it seems only natural to take a look at some fun special rules that can be applied when watching professional wrestling.
There are some generic rules that can be used for any period of wrestling or company such as drinking when a finisher is hit or when a referee misses some chicanery but this article will focus on more specific rules that can be applied for extra drinking fun. The list is in no particular order and more suggestions are encouraged in the comments section, some may even get featured in a future follow-up article.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, with ‘Hulkamania’ still running wild, the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) began a global expansion campaign. The United Kingdom became a major target market and, in 1989, the company signed a deal with Sky Television to broadcast their shows to a British audience.
Since that time, the promotion have regularly crossed the Atlantic, putting on live arena tours, staging UK-only pay-per-view events, filming their flagship television shows on British soil and even basing Summerslam 1992, one of their largest ever events, in London’s Wembley Stadium.
As a result, WWE have put on hundreds of matches in front of audiences across the country.
Here, we look at the 5 best WWE matches to take place on UK soil…
5. Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle – WWE Insurrextion 2001
It is fitting that wrestling matches take place on canvas, because every time Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle locked horns, they produced art.
