Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 I would have to go with Bret carrying British Bulldog at 1992 Summerslam. Bulldog had pretty much did nithing worth a crap as a singles worker from the time he left Stampede until this point other than some solid matches with Michaels. Plus, Bulldog get blown up in the first 5 minutes and looks confused as hell the rest of the time as Bret drags him along for another 23 minutes in the best match of his life and the closest thing to a perfect match that Bulldog has ever had.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 Eddy carrying RVD at Judgment Day 02. No one else has even come close to making RVD look as legitimite a wrestler.
Guest Ray Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 I have to agree with Bret vs Bulldog. I think even Bret admitted it was a complete carry.
Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 "Eddy carrying RVD at Judgment Day 02. No one else has even come close to making RVD look as legitimite a wrestler." Good choice. Benoit would have if RVD would fucking sell. --------------------
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 Steamboat carrying Luger at GAB89.
Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 "Steamboat carrying Luger at GAB89." GOOD CALL. I totally forgot about this match. This might actually be it instead of Bret/Bulldog. They are definitely #1 and #2 anyways.
Guest wildpegasus Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 Dynamite vs everyone in Stampede. I don't think there's anyone who could've done what he did here.
Guest godthedog Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 bret did more with less. davey WAS a better wrestler overall than luger, but even steamboat gave luger credit for being a hard worker back then who was in terrific shape. luger didn't blow up in the first 2 minutes of the match & have to be carried for the next 20, he was able to keep up with steamboat & play his part and steamboat didn't have to work around him so much.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Ummm in his shoot Steamboat called Luger the equivalent of a lamp post. That's not a good thing.
Guest godthedog Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 http://hometown.aol.com/solie11/stmboat.html about a third of the way through he talks about luger's main problem being psychology & gives no indication of being out of shape (in fact his issues came from wanting to go through moves too quickly), and that he was a hard worker who was very eager to learn. that's more than can be said of davey that particular night. also, if you look at the matches, luger is visibly doing quite a bit more work than davey is.
Guest alkeiper Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 How bout Cactus Jack carrying Van Hammer at the Clash of the Champions?
Guest Monday Night Jericho Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 I heard Kawada did a great carry of Gary Albright which I want to check out. Probably some Liger match also, as he is one of the best carriers ever.

One thing I will give Luger is in his early days(up till 95) he very rarely blew up. Still I'd rank the two carry jobs pretty close. Waht abotu Bret Hart carrying Diesel at SS95?
Guest Space_Cowboy Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Kawada/Albright. Kawada takes a slug in Gary Albright and brings him to an outstanding match.
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Shawn Michaels carrying Diesel at IYH Good Friends Better Enemies
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Shawn Michaels carrying Diesel at IYH Good Friends Better Enemies Bret's carry job of Nash at SS95 was much better. a) the match was much better b) IYH was more of a brawl than Bret/Diesel was
Guest Coffin Surfer Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Lyger vs. El Samurai 4/92 -Lyger not only carried El Samurai to a decent match, he busted out of the traditional junior match blue print, and carried him to what many consider to be the greatest junior match off all time.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Flair/Gigante. Sure it wasn't that great, but this is fucking Giant Gonzales we are talking about.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Oh yah I heard a myth about a *** Flair/Gigante match. Can anyone confirm this?
Guest jm29195 Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 I think I heard somewhere that Steamboat went on a spree of carrying people like Barbarian to decent and long matches just to spite the management in wwf after he got jobbed out ot HTM, is this correct?
Guest two_tuff_toddy Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 "I think I heard somewhere that Steamboat went on a spree of carrying people like Barbarian to decent and long matches just to spite the management in wwf after he got jobbed out ot HTM, is this correct?" I don't know if this is true or not but it definitely sounds like something he would do.
Guest Rob Edwards Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 I'll join the Bret love for carrying Bulldog to something as good as that to throw a new one in there Steve Austin's carry job of Savio Vega at IYH Beware of Dog was nothing short of amazing
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Shawn Michaels carrying Diesel at IYH Good Friends Better Enemies Bret's carry job of Nash at SS95 was much better. a) the match was much better b) IYH was more of a brawl than Bret/Diesel was I haven't seen that match, so I couldn't comment on it.
Betty Houle Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Lord, like anyone here has a clue what they're talking about...
Guest saturnmark4life Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Eddy carrying RVD at Judgment Day 02. No one else has even come close to making RVD look as legitimite a wrestler. That actually wasn't 100% Eddy's work. One of the only matches In which RVD's impressed me on his own. Obviously it was mostly a carry job cos it was RVD, but I've never before or since seen him vary his offence that much, or work the crowd in such a manner.
Guest godthedog Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Lord, like anyone here has a clue what they're talking about... jubuki? is that you?
Guest DarkHollywood Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Hogan carrying Warrior at @M 6 wasn't as good as some other ones mentioned but worth mentioning.
Guest godthedog Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Hogan carrying Warrior at @M 6 wasn't as good as some other ones mentioned but worth mentioning.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Speaking of Warrior... How about Savage carrying Warrior at WM7?
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Any number of Ric Flair's early nineties matches against Lex Luger. Amazing stuff.
