Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted August 16, 2003 How about Hollywood Blondes vs Douglas/Steamboat from COTC XXII, that's a great match with great heat. But cause it's from a COTC it's rare and not easily accesible. 'cept for me cause I've got that clash along with 3 others from 92 on 1 tape The Worldwide match (where the title switch took place) one month later was even better. Crowd heat was off the charts, and the unbelievable build to the Steamboat hot tag has to be seen to be appreciated. Everything was just ON. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted August 16, 2003 July 1994 Raw. HBK vs. Razor Ramon It was the return match from Wrestlemania 10 and was Shawn's first match back from Wrestlemania 10. I always thought this was a great match. No outside interference from Diesel because he was kicked out by the ref, and Shawn picked up the win cleanly. Nah, it wasn't clean. http://slashwrestling.com/monday/RAW.940801.final "As Hebner turns around and sees a belt in the ring, he feels it's his duty to remove it from the ring. Again, he fails to notice Michaels whiping Ramon into Diesel's big boot. Add a little pull of the tights and we have a 3 coutn for the Heartbreak Kid in his return match."

SteakGrowsOnUecker 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 It was still a damn good match. If I remember any match from a 1994 raw then it must have been a damn good match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 How'd I know this would be the "forgotten classic"? There are so many layers to this match - the only thing that could reach it is Austin/Hart WM 13 in terms of "WWE as art" and that's cutting it close (maybe Warrior/Savage Wm 7). Hart Foundation vs. Demolition 2/3 falls from SS 90 was an awesome match. It's been about a decade since I've seen it last, but it has to be good if it holds up this long It's not so much 'forgotten' as it is 'under appreciated'.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 16, 2003 ^ If your refering to the Hart/Piper match I believe Austin/Rocky was in that same "WWE As Art" vein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 When I saw that the initial post was more than two paragraphs and not impossible to understand, not to mention there was no smilie, I was having a hard time believing Rico actually composed it. Then I saw the credit. Thought so. Anyway, it's a great match but by no means is it forgotten, as it's usually mentioned whenever the event is brought up. And just for the record, there were a couple matches between faces between Wrestlemania VI and VIII, a MSG match between Tito Santana and Koko B Ware, being one of them.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 In fact, there had not been a face vs. face title match since two years earlier, when Ultimate Warrior faced Hulk Hogan. And just for the record, there were a couple matches between faces between Wrestlemania VI and VIII, a MSG match between Tito Santana and Koko B Ware, being one of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted August 16, 2003 A forgotten classic would be the Rockers-Orient Express match from Royal Rumble 1991. I mark for the finish of that match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Demolition/Harts is good, but I still have a problem with the cheap finish. I like Michaels/Flair vs Savage/Bret a little better personally. Forgotten classic...Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog, In Your House 5. One of the most boring undercards around. Taker vs Mabel. Landell/Ahmed. The hog pen match. And Bulldog and Bret put on a great match, a bloody, brutal hard fought forgotten classic. And I think Bulldog/HBK from King of the Ring 96 is pretty forgotten. People always think of the Austin 3:16 speech, and forget about the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Austin/Rocky didn't have nearly the depth that those other matches had. I may be missing something and I'm open to your interpretation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Real Nosferatu Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Pillman v. Johnny B. Badd from Fall Brawl '95 was really good, a definite ****+ match. Plus it's not mentioned too much. Also the 1-2-3 Kid v. Bret Hart from 1994 MNR was also really good. Ditto HBK/Razor (Except it wasn't clean finish at all). I thought Mankind v. Steve Austin Brawl the night after SSeries 1996 was really good, just because of the crowd heat and that it was non-stop action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJSexay 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 1994 SummerSlam Bret vs. Owen inside a steel cage An EPIC match. I'm stating this because if you forgot about it you NEED to watch it. YES. This match made me mark out like CRAZY with the kicking screaming and crying. (I was about 9.... give me a break) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
