Heat Wave 98 has the tag match, a badass Awesome/Tanaka match, and Taz/Bam Bam is pretty cool. Living Dangerously has RVD/Lynn which is phenomenal but Heat Wave is the better overall card.

The ‘92 Rumble is a one-match show, but it’s one hell of a match.

WMXIV is more historically significant in its role as the unofficial start of the Attitude Era, but the matches really are generally a bit pants.

The main event is also probably one of HBK’s worst outings at a Mania, although there are significant mitigating factors for that. It’s also easily Austin’s weakest Mania match post-Ringmaster.

this alone is so boring and bad that it drags the whole show so far down for me. The rest of the undercard cannot make up for it.

WM14 is just an average wwf show with a disaster of an opening match and the top matches being above average. all imho obv going to vote WM.

Wrestlemania 14 definitely has the better card overall (and was the first ppv I ever watched!) but if I had to go back and watch anything from either show the '92 Rumble would absolutely be at the top of that list. Definitely a tough call though, and I may have changed my mind after typing this post. Wrestling needs more dumpster matches.

The 92 Rumble undercard had Roddy Piper winning his only title in WWF so it had that going for it at least.
WM XIV had Sable Powerbomb Mark Mero which was simply not something you'd thought you'd see ever.

Edit: Oh wait that wasn't that show. All the more reason to vote RR 92 I guess.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The nice thing about that is that since Piper won the vote to be put in the match, he had to get cleared by WWE's medical and during the checkup process, they caught that he had some early cancer in his system. That instance of fan appreciation put years on his life.

They're both mediocre PPVs, but I have to give the nod to WrestleMania X just because of Owen / Bret and the ladder match. I don't recall GAB having any real standout matches outside of Malenko / Misterio.
