The debate over the greatest wrestling pay-per-view in history has been going on for ages.

What you believe to be the most entertaining three hours ever put together by Vince McMahon and company can depend on any number of factors: when you got into wrestling, your favorite performers, how much you enjoy in-ring action versus over-the-top antics, and so on.

One of the best developments in recent years for any wrestling fan, though, has been the WWE Network.

For $9.99 a month, you can watch almost every WWE-owned PPV from the past, see new PPVs live, and check out a ton of exclusive programming, including shows like NXT and 205 Live.

As a fairly new wrestling fan, WWE Network has made it easy for me to catch up on some of the greatest PPVs in history. It's also a great deal for old fans who might not pay as much attention to the product now but wish to enjoy the nostalgia of their favorite moments from days past.

Below is my list of the greatest PPVs you can watch on the WWE Network. Every fan's list is different and my wrestling history is far from complete, so few great shows are sure to be missing. But if you're new to the Network, it's a great place to start browsing.

10. Survivor Series 2014

Why it’s great: This is admittedly not a loaded card, but it has one of the best executed Survivor Series matches ever put together. With both Team Cena and Team Authority fighting for their jobs, the 40-minute marathon ends in Sting's WWE debut and one of the biggest pops you’ll ever see, with Dolph Ziggler emerging as an unlikely hero.

Best matches:
Team Cena vs. Team Authority
Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose
Miz & Mizdow vs. The Usos vs. Gold and Stardust vs. Los Matadores

9. No Way Out 2000

Why it’s great: Some of the best matches you'll ever see in a tight, efficient card. The main event is a Hell in a Cell match with Triple H putting his title on the line against Cactus Jack who is fighting for his career.

Best matches:
Triple H vs. Cactus Jack
The Dudley Boyz vs. New Age Outlaws
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho

8. Bash at the Beach 1996

Why it’s great: In the most memorable moment in WCW history, Hulk Hogan turned heel — became a bad guy, in non-wrestling parlance — and formed the NWO, pushing the promotion into the best run of its existence.

Best matches:
Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Psychosis
Hulk Hogan & The Outsiders (Kevin Nash & Scott Hall) vs. Lex Luger, Randy Savage & Sting
Dean Malenko vs. Disco Inferno
