haVoc Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 When most of us think best series of matches Flair/Steamboat comes to mind. I first started watching wrestling in 86' and The Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs were having a bunch of matches that helped hook me as a kid. Of course it was just wasn't the wrestling then. I was 10 and Jimmy Hart and the evil ref Danny Davis was pretty damn entertaining. Anyway, since then there have been a bunch of series. Benoit/Angle, Benoit/Jericho (which is one of my favorites and one of the most underrated IMO) Benoit/Booker, EC/Hardys/Dudleys, Raven/Dreamer, Freebirds/Express, etc.,. What are some of your favorites and what would you say is the best series of matches between wrestlers and tag teams?
Murmuring Beast Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 2000 is my favourite year of wrestling, so I'm partial to a bit of Triple H/Rock, Benoit/Jericho and hot tag team action (remember that?) every day of the week!
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Dynamite v. Tiger Mask is up there with Flair/Steamboat and Flair/Funk, most recent ones are Angle/Benoit,RVD/Lynn,RVD/Eddy, Jericho/Benoit, Rock/Jericho,Benoit/Angle,Benoit&Angle/Rey&Edge/Guerreros, Benoit/Booker, Hardys/Duds/E&C, Austin/Angle,and HHH/Cactus.
haVoc Posted October 6, 2003 Author Report Posted October 6, 2003 The Mr. Perfect/Doink the Clown series on Raw in 93' was great.
Guest krazykat72 Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Misawa/ Kobashi and Misawa Kawada should probably be near the top of most lists as well as Benoit/Angle Dynamite Kid vs. Tiger Mask Angle/Austin Flair/Steamboat Flair/Windham Austin/Bret Hart Michaels/Scott Hall (besides the 2 ladder matches, there's a great match from 8/94 on RAW) As for tags Misawa/ Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue Misawa/Akiyama vs. Kawada Taue Rockers/Brainbusters MXE vs. R'nR Express Edge & Christian vs. Hardyz Harts vs. Bulldogs Hollywood blondes vs. Steamboat and Douglas -Paul Jacobi-
Guest Coffey Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Well, most of my favorite series of matches aren't from the WWF(E). Seeing as how this is the WWE folder, not the General Wrestling folder, it'd be best if I just left it unanswered.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 I might get some heat for this... but I thought the best of 7 (turned 8) tournament between Benoit and and Booker T was awesome.
BifEverchad Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 I might get some heat for this... but I thought the best of 7 (turned 8) tournament between Benoit and and Booker T was awesome. Why would you get heat for that? It was an awesome series, and helped improve WCW's match quality from there after. Benoit was great, as usual and somewhat elavated Booker, and established him as a serious singles wrestler.
Guest jm29195 Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Angle/Benoit Sting/Vader Jerry Lynn/Justin Credible series from 98 helped establish both guys Bulldog/HBK had a lot of good matches 96-97ish starting with Beware of Dog and ending with One Night Only Also from ecw the rvd/sabu series might not have been technically sound but still entertains me regardless
Guest NCJ Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Within WWE/WWF Steamboat/Savage Bret/Owen Bret/Austin Bret/HBK Benoit/Angle Benoit/Jericho HBK/Diesel Eddy/Chavo vs. Benoit/Angle vs. Edge/Rey All the TLC members RVD/Undertaker Rock/Angle Rock/Jericho Rock/Austin Angle/Austin Bulldogs vs Heart Foundation
IWD Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Some of my favourites (sorry, not all WWE) Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask I (Saturo Sayama) Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat Ric Flair vs Terry Funk Bret Hart vs Owen Hart Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada Mitsuharu Misawa vs Kenta Kobashi Koji Kanemoto vs Shinjiro Ohtani OK.
Guest Ray Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Well, the Misawa-Kawada series blows just about everything away. In WWF/E, Austin-Bret would be my top choice. I am rather fond of the Austin-Benoit series (11/20/00, 5/21/01, 5/28/01, and 5/31/01). Always wished we could have seen more from them. A PPV singles match would have been wonderful.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 I would go with Benoit/Angle/Jericho.
CanadianChick Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 For WWE strictly: Bret/Owen Benoit/Jericho 2000 tag teams (E&C, Hardys, Dudleys) Recent ones would include the Smackdown 6, and Benoit/Angle (even though that could be included in the SD 6). I'm not sure about all-time great, but those matches were what made 2002 for me.
JN News Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 The best series of matches I've ever seen has got to be Rock/HHH. Bar none.
Internet Warfare Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Bret Hart vs Owen Hart nuff said.
Guest Iron Nick Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Dynamite Kid/Tiger Mask Eddie Guerrero/Dean Malenko Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit Edge and Christian/Hardyz/Dudleyz Chris Benoit/Chris Jericho Rob Van Dam/Jerry Lynn
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Raven/Dreamer Raven/DDP in WCW (I loved it, despite the matches being pretty crap) Raven/Saturn vs. Benoit/Malenko RVD/Lynn Lynn/Styles AMW/New Church AMW/XXX Benoit/Angle Hayabusa/Gannosuke Foley/HHH Foley/Austin Foley/Rock
DCMaximo Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Damn, I was just going to mention the Hayabusa/ Gannosuke feud. The Hair vs Mask match was totally awesome, despite the copout ending.
syxx2001 Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 RED AND LOW KI. Even though they probably only wrestled 3 times.
Austin3164life Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Flair/Steamboat Austin/Bret Austin/Rock Benoit/Angle Benoit/Booker Jericho/Benoit
JustJoe2k5 Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 -Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart -Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin -The Rock vs. Triple H '98 -Steve Austin vs. The Rock '99 -Edge and Christian vs. Hardy Boyz -The Rock vs. Triple H '00 -Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho -Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
KTID Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 What about the awesome HHH Vs Scott Steiner fued from earlier this year?
