Guest Ray Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Anyone seen the Bret Hart/Ric Flair Iron Man match from a house show? I just started watching it. Thoughts on it? Better/worse than the WM12 Iron Man? or the Rock/HHH Iron Man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) In my opinion, Bret-Flair is a lot better than Bret-HBK. The Bret vs. Flair Iron Man Match is one of my favorite matches and my pick for 1993 MOTY. The match is easily in the ****1/2 - ***** range. My only complaint is that the WWF never released this match on home video. Edited August 25, 2003 by Askewniverse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's pretty shitty, since the match was recorded on a handheld. It's still watchable though, and definitely worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Bret/Owen from a 94 house show is better. But Flair/Bret is much better than Bret/HBK or Rock/HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hitman2003 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 I have a pretty good copy of the Bret-Flair Iron-man match. IMO, it's a great match. I enjoyed it more than then Bret-Shawn one only because this match actually had them do several decisions. I think that's the only thing that hurts the WrestleMania 12 match.

Guest Tim Cooke Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Eh, it's a decent match. As for MOTY for 1993, you need to watch some more wrestling from 1993. 2/21/93 Sting vs. Vader 2/28/93 Stan Hanson vs. Toshiaki Kawada 4/2/93 Akira Hokuto vs. Shinobu Kandori 7/2/93 Misawa/Kobashi/Akiyama vs. Kawada/Taue/Ogawa 7/29/93 Stan Hanson vs. Kenta Kobashi 12/3/93 Misawa/KObashi vs. Kawada/Taue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dmann2000 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 My only complaint is that the WWF never released this match on home video. How/Why would they? It was a fancam, not as in "ECW fancam really one of our guys". But as in actual fancam "wasn't supposed to be recorded". And Tim just cause the guy hasn't seen a bunch of puro doesn't make his point less valid. Generally when an American fan talks about MOTY, they're referring to matches in North America. And besides, the 1993 MOTY was Hart/Perfect from KOTR 93 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a fancam, not as in "ECW fancam really one of our guys". But as in actual fancam "wasn't supposed to be recorded". I meant that I wished the WWF had recorded the match and released it on a commercial video. Generally when an American fan talks about MOTY, they're referring to matches in North America. Dmann is right. When I talk about MOTY, I'm usually referring to matches in North America. As for MOTY for 1993, you need to watch some more wrestling from 1993. 2/21/93 Sting vs. Vader I didn't like Sting-Vader as much as Bret-Flair or Bret-Perfect. It's a really good match, but I think that it's a tad overrated by some people. Edited August 25, 2003 by Askewniverse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
