Guest Posted March 17, 2002 Report Posted March 17, 2002 rvd/lynn matches were all spotty garbage. Your all just rvd marks looking for another way to suck his dick
Guest Coffin Surfer Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 "rvd/lynn matches were all spotty garbage. Your all just rvd marks looking for another way to suck his dick " While I wouldn't say it that harshly you are right and wrong. RVD/Lynn should have been fast and spotty. Instead it was just garbage. These two guys should have spotted like luchadores. Instead they operated at a sluggish pace, doing some bad mat wrestling, weak brawling(RVD stiff, my ass), some laying around, a cool spot or two, and way to much countering(esp. RVD, I don't think Lynn got a move in, during the HH match). RVD does crack me up in the Hardcore Heaven match. When Lynn knocks himself out after taking a bump wrong, RVD just walks around and has no clue what to do. He could have at least put Lynn in a resthold or anything. Instead he breaks character, knells beside the ailing Lynn, and obviously asks him what he should do next. His answer, confuses RVD who sets up a chair, folds up a chair, then gently lifts Lynn in the ring like a concerned mother, then takes him out, and throws him in the audience. Than RVD gets in the ring and lays around. Funny Stuff. But not a ***** match. This is just my opinion and you can think what you want.
Guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 not to many Register a five star but here they are RVD/Lynn Hardcore Heaven 99' RVD/Lynn Living Dangerously 99' HBK/Razor Summerslam 1995 HBK/Foley Mind Games 1996 Thats aboot it heres some 4 and 4 and a half matches RVD/Jericho (Unforgiven) i think Jeff Hardy/RVD (Summmerslam 2001) HBK/Razor (Summerslam 95) Flair/Steamboat 2 out of 3 falls
Guest DebilitatorX Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 I rate quite a few matches *****. I rate based on workrate, the story told, the heat, and whether or not the psychology is sound. I don't think a ***** match necessarily has to have perfect psychology, just sound psychology.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 I have a few WWF -Michaels/Mankind from Mind Games -Benoit/Austin from Smackdown WCW -Ultimo Dragon/Dean Malenko from Starcade 96.
Guest KOR420 Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 RVD/Bigelow Austin/Hart WMXIII RVD/Sabu stretcher match
Guest muzanisa Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 Bret Henning summerslam 91 Bret Owen WM 10 Fleisch Williams Revival 2002 Others that deserve it I haven't always seen live so have some idea of the outcome before the match which kills some of the heat. Flair Steamboat and Dynamite Kid Tiger Mask come to mind. Also Steiners against Sting/Luger. I think for it to be a five star you must watch it live and have no idea you are about to watch a classic. Expectation can kill a match. RVD Lynn matches are great but everyone I've seen has been after hearing how great they are same with Sabu/Cactus Jack so that when you see the match you're sitting down expecting to see the best match ever and it's always a let down. When you're sitting there live thinking this should be good and two guys come out and blow you away that makes it a *****.
Guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 Most Flair/Steamboat matches are bomb as fuck. The Flair/Funk I quit match is incredibly bomb too. the WWF has a pretty scarce amount of 5* match's maybe Owen/Bret WM X or Mankind/HBK. I think the HBK/Scott Hall ladder match's are overated. RVD/Lynn at Hardcore Heavan was shite, not nearly as good as Living Dangerousely. Cause at Living Dangerousely no one had any hopes for the match to be anything more than passable to solid, or atleast I didnt. Hm... whatever.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 The closest match, in my eyes, to 5 stars in the Wwf would be hart/piper wm 8. But that isnt 5 stars. I have yet to see a ***** matches. The way I see it, a ***** match has to be above and beyond anything I have ever seen, nothing can equal it. I havent seen that yet. Rey vs Eddie HH97 blew me out of the water. For wcw, that would be closest.
Guest caboose Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 the only matches that i consider ***** are steamboat vs. savage-ic title WM3 bret vs. austin-submission match WM13 austin vs. rock-world title WM17 these for me are true five star matches simply because of the epic feel they had
Guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Posted March 26, 2002 Austin / Rock WMX7 I don't know how more people don't have this match on their list. It was breathtaking live and it gets even better every time I watch the DVD. Warrior / Savage WM7 Royal Rumble Match 92 RVD / Jeff Hardy Ladder Match SummerSlam 01 Bret VS Owen WM10 TLC 1, SummerSlam 00 Angle VS Rock, No Mercy 00 HHH VS Benoit No Mercy 00 Flair VS Savage WM8 Hogan VS Savage WM5

Guest godthedog Posted March 26, 2002 Report Posted March 26, 2002 gee...i wonder who AM's favorite wrestler might be. i personally think of a ***** match as a match that i can watch over & over again and never get sick of. as it stands, the only match i love so much that i can STILL feel all the drama of it if i watch it tonight is the bret/owen cage match. it just seems like it has this timeless quality & intensity to it, i don't know why. other matches that previous posts have mentioned (bret/austin, the ladder match, flair/steamboat, etc.) come close & will always hold some special place in my heart, but i've watched them all too much & just don't seem so fresh anymore. bret/owen at summerslam still has that freshness.
Guest DebilitatorX Posted March 26, 2002 Report Posted March 26, 2002 Here is my list of matches that are in my **** 3/4 - ***** range: Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect - SummerSlam 1991 Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin - WrestleMania 13 Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin - Survivor Series 1996 Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart - WrestleMania X Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart - SummerSlam 1994 Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog - SummerSlam 1992 Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania XII Bret Hart vs. Undertaker - SummerSlam 1997 Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock - WrestleMania X-8 Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair - WrestleMania VIII Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat - WrestleMania III Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon - SummerSlam 1995 Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon - WrestleMania X Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker - Badd Blood Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel - Good Friends, Better Enemies Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind - Mind Games Steve Austin vs. The Rock - WrestleMania X-7 Steve Austin vs. HHH - No Way Out 2001 Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels - KOTR 1997 HHH vs. Chris Jericho - Fully Loaded 2000 HHH vs. Cactus Jack - Royal Rumble 2000 HHH vs. Cactus Jack - No Way Out 2000 HHH vs. The Rock - SummerSlam 1998 Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit - Royal Rumble 2001 Hardyz vs. Dudleyz vs. E&C - WrestleMania 2000 Hardyz vs. Dudleyz vs. E&C - TLC I Hardyz vs. Dudleyz vs. E&C - TLC II Hardyz vs. Dudleyz - Royal Rumble 2000 I can't really rate Royal Rumbles on the DUD-***** scale, but 1992, 2002, and 2001 stand out as being very well-executed in my book.
