Best Series of Matches

Recommended Posts

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?

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Damn, I was just going to mention the Hayabusa/ Gannosuke feud. The Hair vs Mask match was totally awesome, despite the copout ending.
