Episode 121: WWF In Your House 17 - Ground Zero
This was a show after SummerSlam to get to a show to then get to Survivor Series. And even though this was sort of viewed as a "transition/throw away" show, it brought the goods. Not everything on this card was great, but there was enough good stuff...

Episode 114: TNA Hard Justice 2007
This may have been the worst TNA pay-per-view of the year, but I can't be sure. It wasn't over-the-top bad as much as it was bad and also aggressively meh. After Kurt Angle spent months being cocky and arrogant and rubbing his success in everyone's...
