cawthon777 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Bret Hart, British Bulldog & Owen Hart vs Steve Austin, Undertaker & Mankind, Flag Match, 1997 Sid came back at that show, right? I don't know what was up with Sid in 97. I remember at the April IYH, he was supposed to fight Bret ... and was subbed with Austin. Then at the May IYH he was supposed to fight Mankind ... and was subbed with Rocky. I think around July he was in a car wreck with Furnas and LaFon ... so that meant his Summer Slam match with Vader was off. And that was it for him in the WWF if memory serves. Just as a note on that flag match, 7/21/97 in Halifax, Nova Scotia - 2 weeks before Summer Slam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 All of Angle/Booker's matches are really good and not remembered, for whatever reason. I'd say Benoit/Austin from Calgary from Raw in May of 2001...it gets love, but not as much as it should. Also their late 2000 match on Raw was damn good. Rock/Taker/Goldust/Booker vs. HHH/Un-Americans was pretty good, but no one remembers it (I don't think many people remember the latter part of 2002 because it was just so...I dunno) Angle vs. Kane for the US title on Smackdown was pretty damn good as well. All the Smackdown 6 stuff. We could go on forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eiker_ir 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 How many people remember that "Star Studded" 4-Way tag title match leading up to SummerSlam 98? It was (I believe) Rock and D'lo Vs The Outlaws Vs Taker and Austin Vs Kane and Mankind. It's been a few years since I've watched it, so I'm not sure how it holds up, but I LOVED that match live. yeah that was great, it was going to be Owen and The Rock but before the match started, Shamrock attacked Owen, who was replaced by D'Lo. Then you had all the cahmpions in the WWF in one match: Austin (WWF Champ, Tag Champ) Undertaker (Tag Champ) Rock (IC Champ) D'Lo (Euro Champ) this was when Kane pinned Taker with just a chokeslam and everyone was saying that they planned and stuff. I loved the period leading to Summerslam 98, good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Summerslam 1998 buildup was some of the best I've EVER seen. It was so good that even the show itself was pretty good, it was kind of a let down in the long run. That's what really got me hooked on wrestling...like hardcore...Summer of 1998. Oh yeah...Outlaws vs. Austin/Taker...night after Fully Loaded is a fun match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest John Dub Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Most people don't remember this, but in the midst of the InVasion Kidman and X-Pac had a feud that had the best wrestling seen out of either of them. They had maybe 2 PPV matches all together, but they had a number of TV matches too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was so good that even the show itself was pretty good, it was kind of a let down in the long run. That's the main reason I never understood the love for the Austin/Taker SummerSlam match. It wasn't the worst match I've ever seen, but damn it, with that kind of build going into the show, I was expecting something spectacular. I'd say the SummerSlam 98 build was the best PPV build ever. And I'll second the X-Pac/Kidman stuff. Their title unification match (where X-Pac won the Cruiserweight belt) was my favorite...partially because I was there, but still, it was a great match, and it was funny as hell watching the WWF try to get X-Pac over as a face and fail miserably.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted November 9, 2003 All the Smackdown 6 stuff. Yeah, those matches kind of got mishmashed together and written off as 'those SD 6 matches', with few of the individual matches getting remembered, which is a damn shame.

Guest Frank The Tank Report post Posted November 9, 2003 I don't know if anybody agrees with me, but War Games 2000 in the Triple Cage on Nitro was pretty good.

Every match in that card had awesome build up to them. and X-Pac had some decent matches with Tajiri around the summer of 2001 too, like the one at Summerslam that year. He was working hard during the Invasion, too bad everyone hated him anyways. And i agree with the Smackdown six matches, a few are remembered (mostly the tag matches) but this guys were having excellente matches every week and so often that they just got lost in time.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Speaking of the Shawn Collaspe Match...They were having a fun nifty match. Shawn and Owen always were great together...The IYH match was better then Any match Shawn/Bret had and I witnessed a ****1/2 25 Minute gem with those two at a house show...Hour before...I met Owen and talked to him for 15 minutes...He pointed me out during the match and yelled "You Stink!" and as the crowd booed him...He winked. I still can't decide what was better...Owen Winking at me or Mr. Perfect stealing my sign and making a urniating gesture on it and then HHH picked it up (this was a HHH/HBK Main event) and HHH began to rip it up but Shawn put a stop to that and layed out HHH and High fived me.

The Goldust attack and the Raw Bowl were two different shows actually (same taping though). Still, the match itself was good enough, and I'll be damned if I didn't mark for that Goldust beating. At the time, I damn near wore out my VCR by rewinding the tape to watch the beat down over and over again. I miss being a mark. :sniffle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
