Guest tank_abbott Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 I'm not talking "Dream Matches" like Magnum TA vs Randy Savage circa 1986, I mean like Hulk Hogan vs Bret in 1993/ Hogan/Savage vs Demolition 1988/ Bruiser Brody vs Stan Hansen in the AWA 1986... Goldburg/Savage 1998 (Maybe on Nitro?)... Piper/ Savage WWF 1986....Bret vs Luger 1993....Steamboat/Vader 92-94...
cawthon777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Hulk Hogan vs Bret in 1993/ Hogan/Savage vs Demolition 1988/ Bruiser Brody vs Stan Hansen in the AWA 1986... Goldburg/Savage 1998 (Maybe on Nitro?)... Piper/ Savage WWF 1986....Bret vs Luger 1993....Steamboat/Vader 92-94... Actually some of those did take place. Piper and Savage had a few bouts during their WWF years. Bret and Luger had a post-WrestleMania IX rivalry. Steamboat and Vader had a few very memorable bouts on Saturday Night if not elswhere (classic underdog Steamboat that never gives up until he's squashed like a bug). Let's see ... Well, if I can pick any wrestler that was a main eventer... Rhodes vs. Hogan (89) Rhodes vs. Andre (89) Rhodes vs. Warrior (89) Bret vs. King Mabel (95) Savage vs. Bossman (88-89) Rude vs. Vader (94 ... although it did almost happen)
Guest tpww7 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 I'm pretty sure Savage- Bossman faced off a few times during the Towers- Powers feud. Could be wrong though.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 The Undertaker v. Roddy Piper (1991-92 obviously) Andre The Giant Vs. Mr. Perfect Hulk Hogan Vs. Superfly Jimmy Snuka (ever) Bret Hart vs. Andre The Giant (not sure on this one)
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Jake Roberts vs. Ric Flair WWF 92 Ric Flair vs. The Undertaker WWF 92
Guest bob_barron Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Flair and Undertaker did fight while Flair was in the WWF.
cawthon777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 The Undertaker v. Roddy Piper (1991-92 obviously) They actually did have a few matches. One specifically is mentioned by Piper in his book. He allowed the Undertaker to give him a tombstone on the floor - thus losing the match via count-out - so he could sell it like death the next day at the grand jury for Vince's trial with the government. Flair and Taker also had a few bouts after Flair regained the title from Savage.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Flair and Undertaker did fight while Flair was in the WWF. See, I can't imagine those matches. Did UT do the Zombie Sit-up in the Figure-Four? I must know what happened in them.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 It's on a Coliseum tape called WWF Grudge Matches. I've never seen it personally
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Well, it must have ended in UT getting a win by Count-Out/DQ because that was during the whole "UT never loses" period.
cawthon777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/92.htm Scroll down to September. The one match I've seen between the two was courtesy of a handheld recording of the Providence, RI show on September 10th. Taker hit the tombstone, Mr. Perfect nailed him with a chair (which of course led to a DQ), Taker no sold, Perfect ran his ass backstage - leaving Flair dead in the ring.
EL DANDY~! Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Flair/Hogan during Flair's run in the WWF. Should have happened, but didn't...
Guest WrestlingDeacon Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 I know Hogan and Flair met up in tag matches and I want to say I remember hearing them squaring off on house shows. I'm sure Bob could fill that one in. The most famous tag match was probably a SNME where Sid turned on Hogan and it lead to their Wrestlemania match.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Yea- they faced off on house shows. There's one that's on fan-cam. (Sydney Brown reviewed it a while ago)
cawthon777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Flair/Hogan during Flair's run in the WWF. Should have happened, but didn't... They actually fought every other day between October 91 and January 92. Once Flair won the belt, the one-on-one matches stopped to build heat for the Hogan / Flair bout that was scheduled for WrestleMania.
Guest MillenniumMan831 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 Flair and Undertaker did fight while Flair was in the WWF. See, I can't imagine those matches. Did UT do the Zombie Sit-up in the Figure-Four? I must know what happened in them. It's on The Undertaker's first Coliseum Video, Undertaker's Gravest Matches. I don't remember it very well. Either UT did sit-up during the Figure-4 or Flair released it too early. It was also a WWF Title match.
cawthon777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Posted March 8, 2003 My money is on this being the card with that specific Flair / Taker match... WWF @ Landover, MD - Capital Centre - September 2, 1992 WWF Wrestling Challenge taping: Nailz fought a jobber to a no contest when Nailz kicked the man to the floor and cut a promo on the Big Bossman El Matador defeated Kamala via count-out when Paul Bearer brought a casket to ringside, scaring Kamala off Jim Powers defeated a jobber Ted Dibiase & IRS defeated Virgil & El Matador when IRS pinned Virgil as Dibiase held Virgil's leg down during the cover The Comet Kid (Max Moon) defeated a jobber The Big Bossman defeated Nailz Ted Dibiase & IRS defeated two jobbers WWF IC Champion the British Bulldog defeated Papa Shango via disqualification when Shango shot a fireball into the Bulldog's face Razor Ramon defeated Bret Hart via disqualification when Randy Savage attacked Razor from behind The Undertaker defeated WWF World Champion Ric Flair via count-out WWF Tag Team Champions the Natural Disasters defeated two jobbers The Ultimate Warrior defeated Kamala
cawthon777 Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Booker T vs. Ric Flair (00; not sure about this one) Sting vs. Steamboat (91-94) Hogan vs. Steamboat (87; it's arguable if Steamboat could be considered a main eventer but ah well) Bob Backlund vs. Andre the Giant Bruno Sammartino vs. Bob Backlund Bob Backlund vs. Pedro Morales Bruno Sammartino vs. Greg Valentine (80; not sure about this)
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Did Perfect ever face Savage or Dibiase in late 80s/early 90s WWF?
Guest bravesfan Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 WWF @ Honolulu, HI - December 14, 1991 Hulk Hogan defeated Ric Flair via count-out An example of the Hogan/Flair meeting, one that I was actually in attendance for. I still have the card (newspaper clippings, results), so here were the results if you want them CAW. "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich defeated The Great Kabuki. Superfly Jimmy Snuka defeated "The Model" Rick Martel. Tenryu defeated Haku. Rowdy Roddy Piper defeated Ted Dibiase via disqualification (Sherri inteference). Nasty Boys defeated The Rockers. British Bulldog defeated the Berzerker. LOD defeated Natural Disasters (Tag Title Match) Hulk Hogan defeated Ric Flair via countout. It was a split-card houseshow (with the other show in Boston that night), so the lack of starpower in the undercard is understandable.
cawthon777 Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Did Perfect ever face Savage or Dibiase in late 80s/early 90s WWF? I don't believe so.
HurriShane Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Undertaker vs Jericho Jarrett vs Goldberg
TheFranchise Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Undertaker vs Jericho Jarrett vs Goldberg I'm sure Jarrett and Goldy squared off at least once, JJ cost Goldberg a match against Steiner on PPV i remember..
cawthon777 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 I think they had a few 4-way matches when Goldberg was a heel and Jarrett was either world champ or top contender. Not sure about one-on-ones.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Piper and Savage had a few bouts during their WWF years. Watch Wrestlefest 90. The video kicks off with a Piper DQ win over Savage. They have a nice dualing airplane spin spot.
cawthon777 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 That match was in Miami a day or so after the 90 Rumble.
Guest converge241 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 "Undertaker vs Jericho" i think Taker and Jericho faced off on one of the TV shows i know Sid and Vader fought many times in WWF but did they ever have an encounter in WCW? The starcade main event was scrapped but did they have any house show encounters before?
Guest bob_barron Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 I honestly don't remember Jericho and Taker ever facing off- They faced off in a 4-way once but never one on one to my recollection. They were both heels, and when Taker came back- Jericho was a face. And they turned heel in the same week pretty much
cawthon777 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 i know Sid and Vader fought many times in WWF but did they ever have an encounter in WCW? The starcade main event was scrapped but did they have any house show encounters before? I know they had a tag match in Sid's last WCW TV appearance in October 93 (taped before the scissors incident but shown the weekend after the 11/10 Clash of the Champions). It was Flair / Sid vs. Austin / Vader. The match never really started as Sid was jumped by the Collossal Kongs and triple teamed by them and Vader on the floor (kayfabe credited as the attack that put Sid out of WCW).
