I wouldn't pay one red cent for that abortion of a match 10.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

That'd probably be it right there.

 

Althought they should include, Benoit vs Austin [Last Time They Were In Edmonton, Smackdown 2001].

Exactly........#10 is for the marks and for the dream match feel that it had. The match itself sucked, everyone knows that, but it had a special feeling

[Guest Lightning Flik]

What other matches should be included as bonuses? I mean, I put done the Benoit vs Austin at Edmonton, but what other ones could be included? The bonus matches would be more TV show matches then PPV ones.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i would replace N° 4 with HBK vs. Mankind from Mind Games

[LooseCannon25]

How about these for some bonuses...

 

1)Bret Hart vs. 1-2-3- kid from Raw 93

2)Steve austin vs. Dude Love [Over The Edge 98

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Kotz's picks of

What we would get:

 

Hogan/Andre (Wrestlemania III) - Not bad. Would technically make sense, as the mystic of this match made this a lot better than it was.

 

Austin/HHH (No Way Out 2001) - That was the 3 Stages of Hell, correct? This match would also make sense, since it probably was one of Triple H's best performances. Thusly, Hunter would want it on there.

 

Michaels/Ramon (Wrestlemania X) - Um... This wasn't a bad match, but it shouldn't be on there.

 

TLC IV (Raw is Vegas) - GOD NO~! This freakin' match was just bland for a TLC. There was no reason for it, and frankly, having Kane win it was absurd.

 

Angle/Benoit versus Edge/Rey Mysterio Jr (No Mercy 2002) - You know, I actually don't remember this match. I don't know why, but I can't remember it. If I don't remember it, I doubt it was worth it.

 

Savage/Steamboat - If this doesn't make it on the DVD, then WWE is really stupid.

 

Hart/Michaels (Iron Man match) - Eh. Ok match, but I could see why they'd put it on the DVD.

 

Rock/Hogan (Wrestlemania XVIII) - This is probably the only one that I could guarentee that it would be on the DVD.

 

Mankind/Undertaker (HITC match) - Since this made Mankind, makes sense to have it.

 

Shane McMahon/Angle - Ok, this would be a bonus match. Yet, this probably was the best street fight (I'm assuming KotR) I have witnessed.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Bonus'

 

IC Title: Shawn Michaels vs Marty Jannetty(Raw 1993)

Loser Leaves Town: Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect(Raw 1993)

Owen Hart vs Shawn Michaels(Raw 1995) *Collapse Angle*

European Title: Owen Hart vs British Bulldog(Raw 1997) *Euro Title Finals*

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Flik, like I said, that's what they'd give us, not what I'd put on it.

[David Blazenwing]

don't forget...

 

HHH/HBK (SummerSlam '02)

HBK/Jericho (WrestleMania XIX)

Hurricane/Rock (RAW)

 

Okay, that last one probably doesn't belong, but as I'm a HUGE Hurricane fanatic, I had to put it on... and yes, that's the match that Hurricane won.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Flik, like I said, that's what they'd give us, not what I'd put on it.

*sighs* Yes, tis true.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Hurricane/Rock (RAW)

Which also was bland like TLC4

[Guest ViciousFish]

I can't see the HBK/Bret Ironman match being on there. I found it so comepletely boring everytime I've watched it. It seems like there's 20 minute chinlocks. I understand that they had to rest but it seemed excessive alot of the time. The 0-0 ending going into overtime seemed a little screwy to me too.

 

I personally would pick as top 3 at least

 

Savage/Steamboat

Benoit/Angle from this years Rumble

Now, it's not exactly a smark's dream come true, but it's the kind of thing the WWE would make. It mainly focuses on the last five years, it gives guys who have front-office pull a decent number of matches (like HHH/Jericho and HBK/Austin), they put over the only guy they successfully pushed with his match vs. The Rock, and some entertaining promos. I'd buy this right here, but we all know they could do a better job. I wouldn't complain if I could buy something like this, though.

[Guest Luke Cage]

Hart vs Hennig from Summerslam 91 is the first one that comes to my mind.

[Guest godthedog]

hmm...

 

michaels/ramon, WM 10

92 royal rumble

bret/austin, WM 13

bret/owen, WM 10

trips/jericho, fully loaded 2000

angle/austin, summerslam 2001

savage/steamboat, WM 3

benoit/angle, rumble 2003

michaels/taker, badd blood

trips/cactus, rumble 2000

 

tried to make it as balanced as i could, getting as many guys in there as i could & having as little overlap as possible. but i couldn't find a place to fit the rock in.

[Guest Choken One]

Take out Angle/Austin and insert Austin/Rock WM17...

 

 

Sorry...That match had more history then the angle match...

[Guest tank_abbott]

Apparently WWF history Started in 1987....

 

TNT Kid vs Tiger mask - 1982ish

Bob Backlund vs Ric Flair (1982/3ish) Double CO

Tito Santana vs Savage - 86

Snuka vs Muraco

Backlund vs muraco

Patterson vs Slaughter

Pedro vs Bruno (Assuming they taped it-not sure)

Bruno vs Larry Z

A HELL OF A LOT MORE TO ADD!

 

Adding:

 

Hogan vs Race

Backlund vs Valentine

Santana vs Valentine

Fujinami/ Chavo Gurrerro Sr.

Hogan vs Valentine (At least one really good match I've seen)

 

 

Who owns the rights to Inoki vs Ali/ Chuck Wepner vs Andre?

Sorry...That match had more history then the angle match...

not going on historical significance. i thought about putting in rock/austin, but austin/angle was overall better & was austin's best performance since returning.

[Guest Choken One]

Nah...Rock vs Austin was emotionally and psychologically brilliant...

[Guest godthedog]

austin/angle was way more emotional. austin was the paranoid champion scared to death that angle was better than him, & determined to hold on to the title at any cost. angle was the ultimate underdog who, although he was being outclassed, just refused to stay down for anything. austin threw absolutely everything he could think of at angle, angle kept coming back for more. when angle kicks out of the stunner & austin stuns him out of the ring without a second thought, then rams him into the post four times in a row, you can just taste the desire to win. the desperation in both men got shown perfectly when they were using their finishers as transition moves, & still selling them as finishers (like angle putting on the ankle lock outside the ring just to regain control, & austin limping for the rest of the match). there was some of that desperation in austin/rock, but it just didn't reach that height.
