Best of non-PPV matches

[Guest Andy]

I've been thinking about the amount of matches from one-off commercial videos that are good but not many people have seen.

 

The ones that come immediately to mind are:

 

Dynamite Kid vs Bret Hart [The British Bulldogs]

The Steiner Brothers vs Bret & Owen Hart [WrestleFest 94(?)]

Marty Jannetty vs Shawn Michaels [Monday Night Raw Prime Cuts]

Ric Flair vs Bret Hart [title change from Smack Em Whack Em]

 

Can anybody recommend any more?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Steiners vs. Harts is about as good as you're gonna get.

Hell yeah, Harts vs. LOD. It's always great to see The Harts act like pricks when they're faces (see vs. Rockers WrestleFest 1990)

 

For markout value, I'd go with

 

- Hogan vs. Savage (Best of 6) Hogan jobs by CO and Savage parades w/ belt almost 3 years before The Mega Powers formed.

 

- Hogan vs. Genius (Hulkamania Forever) Hey hey hey, Hogan jobs to Savage's brother by CO. It's nice to see Leaping Lanny Poffo get at least ONE major victory under his cap in 4 years of entertaining in-ring service.

 

My other favorite would be Bret Hart vs. Ted DiBiase from Best of WWF 19. Great match which actually did much to make Hart look extremely credible against the equally talented DiBiase. Match ended in a Double Countout and took place just before WrestleMania V at a Wrestling Challenge taping.
