Rainy Day Matches

[Guest Dmann2000]

I'm sure we've all done it. Cooped up on a rainy/snowy/sick day. Nothing on TV. So we pop in a tape or DVD and kill a few hours with some classic matches.

 

These don't have to be your top picks, but what wrestling matches/promotions do you like to watch on these days?

 

Anything with Flair or Foley for me.

 

Old Colliseum videos hosted by Sean Mooney

 

PPV like Wrestlemania III, VI and X

[Guest snuffbox]

Great American Bash 89

[Zetterberg is God]

Wrestle-Mania 17 is always a good way to spend some time. I also pop in some old profile videos once in a while. (ex: Know Your Role)

[LooseCannon25]

WrestleMania X7 DVD and Wrestlemania 5

[Guest eiker_ir]

not a match but i love watching 'Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops' when i have nothing to do

[Guest BifEverchad]

I usually pop in a comp. tape I made with some of my favorite matches like: Bret/Owen, HBK/UT Hell in a Cell, Bret/Austin, HHH/Cactus, Beniot/Angle...etc..

 

great way to spend a rainy/sick/hung-over, whatever afternoon..

[Guest MaxPower27]

Classic Feuds: Ric Flair v. Ricky Steamboat

Best of Chris Benoit in Japan

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

My 27th generation Netcop Busts tape.

 

The first few Wrestlemanias.

 

The best of Starrcade 83-87.

 

Basically, 'comfort wrestling.'

[Guest dreamer420]

Wrestlemania 4. A four hour classic PPV.

[Garth]

I usually watch Wrestlemania X7 its pretty much all gold.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Next day I get off work, I'm right on X-7. It's just dawned on me that I haven't watched it in forever. I watch Brock/Hogan on the summerslam DVD quite a lot, especially when drunk, in which case Hogan's slaughter moves me near to tears with amusement. Nobody's making the save, Terrence! BWAHAHAHAHA! 'He's hulking up! *BAM* Ooooh noooo he isn't...' YOU OLD BASTARD! DIE DIE DIE!!

 

But yeah,

 

Rumble 92

Flair/Savage WM8

Bret/Owen

Bret/Austin

Austin/Angle from summerslam

 

usually do the trick. I'm planning on getting some MPro actually, cos the Barely Legal 6-man usually satisfies as well.

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

- Tuesday in Texas

- Best of WWF Vols 1,3, 6-9, 13, 15, 17-19

Warrior: TO BE TALKIN' TOUGH!

Kids: Yeah!!!

[Guest Ace309]

I forget which SurSeries it was, but the one with the Hart Brothers survival match that starts the Owen turn, and the Rock and Roll Express/Heavenly Bodies match. I just get a kick out of JR yelling, "A RE-VERSE MOONSAULT OF THE APRON! A RE-VERSE MOONSAULT!" when Jimmy Del Ray hits it.

 

Also, my #1 rainy day match guy is Jumbo. His stuff is just great.

that would be 93.

 

i'll usually watch a match or 2 from my enormous 'best of bret hart' comp set. usually it's something with davey or owen.

 

i also have a 'best of misawa/kobashi' tape where i'll pick a random place & just watch it from there.

[Yuna_Firerose]

I'd probably pop in one of my recorded tapes. But if it'd have to be a Pay-Per-View, it'd either be Summerslam '02 or Survivor Series '02.

 

Rainy Day Ma..tches. Heh, reminds me of a Sailor Moon song...

[Guest ShooterJay]

Anything from ROH or CZW works great for me. It's usually playing constantly in my dorm, even when I'm studying

[Guest T®ITEC]

Well, today was a rainy day, so I watched a comp. tape... "Best Of RAW, Nov. 1996". It had a lot of sweet stuff from Nitro, too.

 

Buy a copy from Retro Rob, 'cause it RAWKS~

 

::foley thumbs-up::

[Guest KanadianKrusty]

Canadian Stampede, GAB 89, or sometimes I just pick a random japan tape.

[Guest bravesfan]

Wrestlemania X-7 does the trick for the most part, whether I'm depressed, sick or just bored.

 

Honorable mention goes to the last two editions of the Survivor Series, and a few WWE TV shows from the summer of 2001.

[Guest Memphis]

Survivor Series 1996

 

My favourite Pay-Per-View of all time.
