Top 15 TWF Pay‐Per‐Views of All‐Time

Following an edition of Powerslam in early 2005 which asked of the greatest wrestler to come out of the Bridgend-based company, another TWF-related poll was conducted in 2006, with over 30,000 responses online and through other mediums as to the answer of one simple question: What was the greatest TWF Pay‐Per‐View of all time? Joint xWa Events did not count.

	#15 Summer Break 2000 Main Event: TWF World Championship: Mr. BIG defeated "The Real Deal" Murphy to remain champion. The first ever crown jewel TWF pay-per-view was notable for a classic Intercontinental Championship meeting between NJS and his brother, then going under the name "King Ass" Nidian. Set in Las Vegas's MGM Grand Garden, it was also the scene of one of sport's greatest changes. The Vegas crowd booed the former fan's favourite Real Deal out of the ring, and cheered the champion, Mr. BIG.
	#14 Dangerously Serious: 2004 Main Event: TWF World Championship: Mastermind defeated Frekishi to become champion. In an evening of twists and turns, Dangerously Serious was one of the TWF's more consistent PPVs of 2004. A memorable backstage sequence between Mr. BIG & Team EV set up Louise's managing of Biggie and the feud between the two entities in 2005. Karl Davies fought relative newcomer Hades in a IC Title match that went to a no contest, and in another one of the TWF's defining moments, Mastermind shifted the tide of the TWF when he defeated Frekishi in his first match to become TWF World Champion.
	#13 Deadly MindGames 2003 Main Event: TWF World Championship: High Voltage defeated The AshTaker to become champion. After being out of the TWF for almost a month after the infamous "Chairshot Heard Around the World", Mr. BIG returned to the TWF and announced his intentions after his former manager Rachel Stevens won the TWF Women's Championship. In another famous moment, High Voltage got the monkey off his back by beating The AshTaker in a thrilling contest to become TWF World Champion for only the second time.
	#12 No Way BacK 2003 Main Event: High Voltage pinned Hawke in a match also involving The AshTaker and Mr. Edwards as Special Referee to retain the TWF World Championship. A historic pay-per-view as the TWF celebrated it's 4th birthday. The TWF crowned it's first Television Champion in Blade, who finally showed his critics why he is among the greatest brawlers in professional wrestling. NJS defeated his then nemesis in XCW, Danny, in an xWa Championship contest, and the beginning of an infamous relationship occurred as Holly screwed Karl Davies and joined Mr. BIG's side. All this and a classic triple threat main event that left the crowd going away extremely happy.
	#11 WrestleMANIA II Main Event: Mr. BIG defeated "King Ass" Nidian in a Revenge Match to remain TWF World Champion. Up until WMII, the TWF really hadn't done anything "big time". Even Summer Break 2000 was a modest affair. But, a then TWF Arena record of 30,285 packed into the famous venue to watch the controversial finish to the Triple Threat Tag Team Match, NJS making Marz tap out to become the Euro-Continental Champion in a match that only intensified the most heated rivalry in TWF history, and the diabolical ending to Biggie and Nidian's TWF World Championship match, that was thrown into chaos when referees lost control of the second fall. A visibly distressed Nidian walked away annoyed, until Biggie graciously offered to continue the match as the planned third fall (if necessary), Revenge Match. Nidian agreed and he wrestled his heart out, only to lose to Mr. BIG.
	#10 Summer Break 2001 Main Event: Marz Holly pinned NJS, in a match also involving The Shott, to win back the TWF Intercontinental Championship. To many TWF fans, Summer Breaks 2001 and 2002 don't exist, such is the hatred for how these events turned out. Summer Break 2001 became notorious for beginning Marz's "ego trip" within the company that would only end exactly a year later. Marz got his "rematch to end all rematches" with NJS and The Shott from May's WrestleMANIA and made a mockery of the TWF with the ease of his victories. To annoy fans further, this took the place of the planned main event between Mr. BIG and High Voltage in what has since become one of their most famous matches - the double tables encounter.
	#09 Halloween Hell 2004 Main Event: Mr. BIG & NJS defeated The AshTaker & The Terminator in a Rage in the Double Cage match for the TWF Tag Team Championships. After a four year hiatus, the most feared match in the history of the TWF made it's long-awaited return in the arena where it debuted almost exactly four years earlier. In a memorable main event, the four combatants lost much blood and a dramatic finish saw three-quarters of the men involved in the match plummet 20 feet to the ring. Also noted was the spectacular set, made out to be a graveyard. This event was also memorable for the One Night Tournament held to determine a new TWF Women's Champion, eventually won by Libra.
	#08 No Way Out 2000 Main Event: NJS defeated The Red Dragon in a Scrummage Match to become TWF Light Heavyweight Champion. The one where it all began. Although the match was due to open with Mr. BIG & The Red Dragon facing Team EV, that match would not take place until seven years later at No Way BacK 2007. Mr. BIG did face Brownie in a brutal TWF World Championship match which he eventually won, and one of wrestling's most famous double-crosses took place at GCourt Arena when NJS defeated Dragon in a match with Mr. BIG as Guest Referee and Sumo Samurai on commentary. The following night, Future-Generation X was formed, and the TWF was never the same.
	#07 Easter HeAT 2005 Main Event: Mr. BIG & NJS defeated Blonde Man & Brownie in a Last Ride match to remain TWF Tag Team Champions. The Z-Pack and Team EV continued their heinous feud in this memorable event in March 2005. It was also a night of upsets, as Mastermind managed to remain TWF World Champion despite Mr. Edwards's overbearing influence on his cage match with Hawke, contested in the biggest steel cage in pro-wrestling to date, Deadman & J-Fox managed to keep hold of their xWa Tag Team Titles despite facing the more experienced Marz & Frekishi. And, The Vamp & JCVS finally ended their long feud, and at No Way BacK 2005 the following month, would team up for the first time in two years.
	#06 Deadly MindGames 2004 Main Event: In an xWa Championship match, NJS defeated Hawke in a Buried Alive Match. It was an epic night at the Air Cymru Arena in February 2004. Mainly because the main event has been heralded as the greatest TWF match of all-time. NJS and Hawke, two men who had carved out a nice rivalry for themselves in the previous few weeks met in a match that has been made more famous for revealing The Assassin as the man who had double-crossed Seek and Destroy. Earlier in the evening's proceedings, The Bandit managed to take The Assassin's Intercontinental Championship in another excellent match that was a match of the year candidate. High Voltage also got his hands on Marz in a singles match for the first time in many years.
	#05 Summer Break 2003 Main Event: The Bandit defeated The AshTaker to remain the TWF World Champion. Summer Break 2003 was the first "real" Summer Break to many fans, and it was a night of many firsts. It was the first time Mr. BIG was not in the main event of the program, and more importantly, it was the first event inside the new 100,000-capacity Bridgend Dome. The night went extremely well and gave the TWF a huge confidence boost for the rest of an ultra-successful 2003. It's difficult to pick out just a couple of matches as great ones, but stand out matches include the TLC Tag Team Match, Mr. BIG and Karl Davies's long-awaited re-match and NJS facing The Shott in a classic match.
	#04 Summer Break VI (2005) Main Event: AJ Jeffers pinned The Assassin in a Four Corners Elimination Match also involving Mastermind & The Terminator to become TWF World Champion for only the second time. The TWF returned to where it all began again, Sin City, USA, for what many critics call "the greatest wrestling card of all-time". Summer Break VI was the end of an era for after it, the TWF went on it's indefinite hiatus and it looked like it would never return. But, the moment that will resound in the history books is that Marz and NJS finally ended a rivalry that existed from the company's outset in one of the best matches of their storied feud. An emotional Silver became the second man behind TWF Hall of Famer JT Money to win both xWa & xWa Tag Team Championships, and AJ Jeffers reached the top of the TWF mountain once more, persevering to pin his former friend The Assassin to become champion, and was presented the TWF World Championship belt by Mr. BIG, who led the entire roster down to salute the fans.
	#03 Against All Odds 2002 Main Event: Mr. BIG defeated The AshTaker in a Hell in a Cell Match. This was the event that changed everything. Although the majority of the card was unspectacular. However, it was noted because of the lack of the staple of the TWF's early days, a problem that plagues TNA at the present time in terms of match interference. Besides the hardkore match, only one match saw interference. Marz and The Shott contested a classic early contest between the two on the card, and there was the now amazing NJS-AJ Jeffers Intercontinental Championship Match. Of course, all this paled into insignificance after the Main Event. It was *the* moment that altered the TWF's history and changed it's course from small-time to big-time. The timing was perfect, and although the BIG Storm off the cell sent The AshTaker to the ground, it made the TWF reach for the starry skies.
	#02 Cyberslam 2005 Main Event: The Assassin pinned Mastermind to become Total Wrestling Federation World Champion. When the results of this poll came in, we were all extremely surprised to see such a recent pay-per-view that wasn't really significant so high up the survey. However, Cyberslam 2005 was in front of a packed crowded at Chicago's Soldier Field, a city which saw plenty of history for one man in particular, who ended his career at the event: Mr. BIG. In the best match from a wrestling standpoint in the TWF's history, Mr. BIG and Hawke stole the show and wrestled for almost 45 minutes in a classic confrontation with several near falls. Also in a historic moment, The Assassin lived up to his potential by defeating Mastermind to become the second American to become TWF World Champion, after Mastermind himself.
	#01 Summer Break V (2004) Main Event: Frekishi pinned Marz to become Total Wrestling Federation World Champion. After realising that VI was not going to win, the staff here knew that Summer Break V would end up being the clear winner of this poll, and it did, getting over a quarter of all votes balloted. The event was full of plenty of surprised at the TWF's home, the TWF Arena, which re-wrote it's own record books that night. Obviously, the event that SBV is remembered for is the victory of Mr. BIG and NJS, and the emotional scenes afterword as NJS became a Full House winner. However, other great matches that night that are not often remembered are Frekishi and Marz's superb TWF World Championship clash, another memorable Square Ladder Match, and a fatal-four-way Steel Cage Match for the TWF Intercontinental Championship. The pay-per-view came at the right moment in 2004 when the TWF was truly at the top of it's game and deserves it's place at the top of the list of the best TWF Pay‐Per‐Views.
