[The Mandarin]

Alright.

3. Rock/Austin (WM)

4. Lesnar/Angle (WM)

6. Lesnar/Angle- Iron Man (SD)

7. Ten Man Tag- RAW (Survivor Series)

8. HBK/Jericho (RAW)

[Guest Choken One]

wow. I forgot Lesnar/Angle.

[haVoc]

Just take out Benoit/Eddy since that hapen in 2002 and replace it with Brock/Angle.

 

This has been one boring year in wrestling. I can hardly remember what happen most of this past year. Either the shows have been that bland or my alcohol abuse is finally kicking in.

[Guest Choken One]

Eddy/Benoit DID happen in 2003. Nitwit.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

1. Benoit Vs. Angle (Royal Rumble)

2. Jericho Vs. Michaels (WrestleMania)

3. Team Bischoff Vs. Team Austin (Survivor Series)

4. The World's Greatest Tag Team Vs. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman (Vengeance)

5. Kurt Angle Vs. Brock Lesnar (SummerSlam)

6. Chris Benoit Vs. Eddie Guerrero (Vengeance)

7. Kurt Angle Vs. Brock Lesnar (WrestleMania)

8. Brock Lesnar Vs. Kurt Angle (Smackdown! Iron Man)

9. The World's Greatest Tag Team Vs. Los Guerreros Vs. Chris Benoit/Rhyno (WrestleMania)

10. TIE---. Triple H Vs. Rob Van Dam (RAW, week before Kane loses mask). Triple H Vs. Ric Flair (May)

 

I don't see the love for Jericho/HBK on RAW. It was one of the most boring matches I've seen in years. COMMERCIAL during the Walls? Restholds galore...yuck.

 

I hate to put THREE Lesnar/Angle matches on here...but honestly, it's been a shitty year...with only one match hitting *****.

 

Honorable Mentions:

 

Best Women's Match of the Year: Trish/Victoria/Jazz from WrestleMania.

 

Also, the Los Guerreros V. TWGTT and Eddie/Tajiri V. TWGTT matches were incredible, but lacked the emotion (in my mind, anyway) needed when being put on a "TOP" list. They were BETTER matches than a few of the TopTen matches, definately...I just like the others a lil' better.

 

Thanks.

Eddy/Benoit DID happen in 2003. Nitwit.

Told ya my mind is shot. I was thinking of the match they had last December when they put the crowd to sleep. Forgot all about the US tournament this year.

 

Hell, I just saw someone say "Angle Vs Cena, No Mercy." That was only a few months ago and I forgot they had a match on PPV. Who won that?

[Nevermortal]

1. Angle/Benoit (RR 2003)

2. Angle/Lesnar (WM XIX)

3. Jericho/Michaels (WM XIX)

4. Cena/Angle (No Mercy)

5. Guerrero/Benoit (Vengeance)

6. Angle/Taker (Smackdown)

7. Angle/Lesnar (Iron Man, Smackdown)

8. Angle/Lesnar (Summerslam)

9. Team Austin v. Team Bischoff (Survivor Series)

10. Team Lesnar v. Team Angle (Survivor Series)

 

So, I guess my MVP is Kurt Angle.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Angle via RR 03 finish.

[Lord of The Curry]

wow. I forgot Lesnar/Angle.

You and almost everybody else.

 

1. Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit, Royal Rumble 2003.

 

Everything else is miles behind.

[Guest Besus]

4. Ric Flair/HHH (5.19)

9. Triple H/RVD (Raw)

 

DAMN THOSE 2 MATCHES SUCKED.IT SEEMS LIKE IM THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT THEY SUCKED.

8.Kidman/Hardy(NWO 2003)

 

9.Taker/Angle(SD)

 

10.Eddie/Hardy(May)

[The Mandarin]

Damnit, I double posted.

 

So I'll just add my top 5 worst BIG matches of the year.

 

Now, I'm sure there are some jobber squashes that sucked WAY more then these, but these matches were some that were supposed to be main-event matches, some headlining RAWs, SDs, and PPVs. These matches sucked for all the buildup they had been given. So here they are:

 

1. Steiner/HHH (NWO)

2. Torrie/Dawn Marie (RR)

3. Ross and Lawler/Coach and Snow (Unforgiven)

4. Dudleyz/La Resistance- Tables Match (Unforgiven)

5. Steiner/Test (Bad Blood)

[The Mandarin]

Best Women's Match of the Year: Trish/Victoria/Jazz from WrestleMania.

I agree with that.

 

The women have really stepped up their game this year. The weekly women's match is actually one of my favourite things on RAW every week.

 

I'd put that match somewhere around 10 to 15.

[Guest Ray]

wow. I forgot Lesnar/Angle.

You and almost everybody else.

That's good, since their matches, you know, kinda sucked.

Chris Benoit vs. Matt Hardy - Smackdown 10/17/03

They only "sucked" when compared to the big expectations for them

[Guest Ray]

No, they sucked due to the pointless suplex-a-mania...and terrible transitions between them.

 

Miss a lariat, pause, let opponent suplex me, no-sell it, duck a lariat, opponent pauses, suplex, etc...

[Brocklock]

10) One tag team match on RAW with HBK and Flair, can't remember who else was in it.

 

And the only PPVs I've seen all year were RR and WM.

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

The WORST BIG match was HHH/Steiner at Royal Rumble. That had one of my favorite buildup videos. I would've picked the No Way Out match if not for the awesome Montreal crowd cheering when HHH pushed Earl Hebner.

Nope, I agree.

[Guest Choken One]

Another Twist...

 

Most Disapointing Match

 

*Match you had HIGH expectations for but was disapointed.

 

1. Brock/Angle-Iron Man Match

2. Brock/Angle-'Slam

3. Flair/HBK-Bad Blood

4. Benoit/Rhyno Vs W.G.T.T Vs Los Guerreros-WMXIX

5. Eddy Vs Rhyno Vs Benoit Vs Tajiri-Slam

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

10.) Ric Flair vs. HHH (5/19) This would be a honorable mention, but it was one of few matches to make me mark out so it gets on the bottom of the list.

 

9.) Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Matt Hardy: Rey wins title. The token C.W. match of the list and was pretty good.

 

8.) Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker (SD from this summer)

 

7.) Kurt Angle vs. John Cena (No Mercy)

 

6.) Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker (No Mercy) I just marked for this for some reason, maybe because I wasn't hyped at all for it

 

5.) Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar (WM XIX)

 

4.) The Worlds Greatest Tag Team vs. Rey & Kidman (Vengeance)

 

3.) Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (Vengeance)

 

2.) Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho (WM XIX)

 

1.) Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: (RR 03)
