Best Sean Waltman matches?!

Recommended Posts

Guest Ray

Yeah...he could have a good match a decade ago. ;)

 

 

Everyone knows about the Bret match from 94.

 

His five minute KOTR match with Owen was quite fun.

 

I think he wrestled Benoit in Japan. That might be good, but I haven't seen it. Also haven't seen the tag with Hall vs Nash/Michaels people talk about.

 

 

 

So yeah, what are his best matches?

Well, he pretty much carried Flair/Piper/Greene v. nWo Wolf Pack from Slamboree '97.

 

His match with Flair at Souled Out was fun and probably *** territory.

 

His pay-per-view debut match against Owen (KOTR '98?) was highly underrated, IMO.

 

His matches with Jericho are pretty underrated...

 

He got some good stuff out of Kane during his heel run...

 

His best stuff was definitely from 1994-1997. He didn't have bad matches in the WWF, but they weren't **** material either. He was pretty fucking unmotivated from 1999-2001, and one of the last times that I saw him really try was when he was working against Kidman and Tajiri during the InVasion days. Those were some good matches.

 

I think that his BEST WWF match was at No Way Out 2001 when he was in the fatal fourway with Benoit, Guerrero and Jericho. That was a damn good match.

Yeah, his match with Bret, the Kliq tag from Action Zone, the 4-Way from No Way Out, and his series with Kidman were all good. My favorite from the Kidman series was the one they had here in Philly where X-Pac unified the Cruiserweight belts. He busted out a lot of his old 1-2-3 Kid offense (I marked out for the somersault plancha) and finished with an X-Factor off the top...I really liked that match.

 

I liked his series with D'Lo over the Euro title in 98, and for what it was, the match with Shane at XV was great. In 95, he had some good matches with Hakushi too.

I really digged his Summerslam 2001 match with Tajiri - of course, in those later days, he was only motivated when he was booked to win.

whatever.

All his early 90's stuff against Jerry Lynn and the matches he had in Japan were all really solid. There is a match from some indy where he fights Sabu and the match is awesome!!!!

One of the first Invasion matches was RVD & Kidman Vs. X-Pac and someone else (Jericho?). That was the first match I remember seeing "re-motivated" X-Pac, and it was a pretty good match as well

That would be Jeff Hardy I think.

I forgot all about the D'Lo matches and the Hakushi match from SummerSlam '95. Good calls.

I remember a match X-Pac had vs. Eddie Guerrero in late-2001 on a SmackDown that rocked, not sure on the exact date though.

Best would be him as Lightning Kid vs. Sabu - NWA Grandslam 4/17/93

This was on one of the first tapes I ever got and I still have it if anybody

wants to trade. He was one of the very few American wrestlers to do a

Japanese jr. style at that time.

 

Yeah, his early 90s bouts against Jerry Lynn were among his best.

I agree with the poster who claimed Waltman's peak was '94-'97

 

Aside from the Bret Hart and Famous Kliq tag match (which imo shows how great Shawn really was), he had a very good match with Michaels right before Wrestlemania 12 that lasted about 10 minutes on RAW, as well as several good to very god matches with Scott Hall in that time period as well.

If the four way @No Way out was the one where Jericho came out on top, then yeah I'd have to say that was one of his grester ones. And that unified match was the shizz as well.

 

Kind admired that match against Jericho (early smackdown cards) wher he catches Jericho in the broncobuster while he's in the tree of woe( though it looked kinda gay)

That match happened on Smackdown on the same show that featured TLC 3. It was a great match and it as one of Eddie's last matches before he was suspended and ultimately released.

 

I don't remember the exact date, but it was the first Smackdown after Judgement Day.
