What are your favorite pre-1990 matches

[Guest Mike]

that do not include Flair. So..what are they?

[Guest J*ingus]

Dammit, I clicked on this all prepared to say Flair-Steamboat, Flair-Steamboat, and Flair-Steamboat.  

 

Well, I'd probably say the Dynamite Kid vs. Tiger Mask feud.

[Guest Kagato Otaku]

Hmmm...

 

Almost any tag match with Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson or the Midnight Express (Lane/Eaton)

Sting vs. Muta (GAB '89)

Steamboat vs. Luger (GAB '89)

Steamboat vs. Savage (WM 3)

Hogan vs. Savage (WM 5)

[Guest Tony149]

Like Kagato, I'll say Arn & Tully & Midnight Express matches, if the squash matches.

 

Sting vs. Muta - GAB '89

Hogan vs. Savage - WM 5

Luger vs. Steamboat - GAB '89

Funk vs. Steamboat - Clash of the Champions 7

 

There are probably more I can't remember.

[Guest Dark Lotus]

Can't include Flair?  Bastard...

 

Ok, then I'll go with Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard's I Quit match.  That was friggin brutal.

[Guest Don Fuji 2002]

I would have to go with the Magnum - Tully I quit match as well. That is one of my top ten favorite matches ever

[Guest ArkhamGlobe]

No Flair?

 

Oh well, just pick a Tiger Mask vs Dynamite Kid match, then add in Savage vs Steamboat from WM III.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Savage vs. Steamboat.

[Guest dreamer420]

Savage vs. Steamboat from Wrestlemania 3

 

&

 

Hogan vs. Savage from Wrestlemania 5

 

Anything with Mr. Perfeft and Demolition ruled too!

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

I also loved the Tag Team matches at the first two Survivor Series.

[Guest ElLocoTas]

Dynamite Kid vs. Tiger Mask, 4/21/1983

 

Jaguar Yokota vs. Lioness Aska, 8/22/1985

 

Jumbo Tsuruta & Gen’ichiro Tenryu vs. Riki Choshu & Yoshi Yatsu, 1/28/1986

[Guest Tim Cooke]

Jumbo Tsuruta v Genricho Tenyru (6/5/89)

- the best match of 1989......that is also coming from Ric Flair fan #6.  Great heat, great build, great drama, great moves....this match ran the gambit in terms of the Heavyweight Genre.

 

Tsuruta/Tenyru v Choshu/Yatsu (1/28/86)

- best tag match of the 1980's.  A perfect build up over 2 previous match up's that takes us into the 1/28 match.

 

Midnight Express v Fantastics (2/88; 3/27/88; 4/26/88)

- the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best tag matches of the 1980's as of right now IMO.  Still need to see a lot more but I don't think there is anything quite as fun in wrestling than watching the MX battle the Fantastics.

British Bulldogs vs. The Dream Team from Wrestlemania 2

 

British Bulldogs/Tito Santana vs. Hart Foundation/Danny Davis (the Bulldogs made Davis their own personal Bitch in this one)
