Best Match Ever In Philadelphia

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm in college in Philly now and the combination of that with the fact that the first PPV of 2004 will be here, I found myself thinking about what the best match was that ever took place in this great city. I looked up the PPV's and the ones that were here are:

 

Halloween Havoc 1989 w/ Lex Luger vs. Brian Pillman

Summerslam 1990

Halloween Havoc 1992 w/ Windham and Rhodes vs. Williams and Austin

Slamboree 1994 w/ Nasty Boys vs. Cactus and Sullivan

KOTR 1995

Mind Games 1996 w/ Michaels vs. Mankind

Barely Legal 1997 w/ 6-Man Michinoku Pro Match

Wrestlemania 1999

Unforgiven 2000

 

Out of all the matches on those PPVs, I would consider the Michaels/Mankind to be the best. However, I haven't seen many non-PPV matches, including TV, and Indys like ECW and RoH for instance. Is there any match that you would consider better than Michaels/Mankind.

I don't consider the 6 man from Barely Legal to be a "best match", I love to watch it but there are too many blown spots, it's still a great match.

Care to name the blown spots?

 

Because there weren't any.

I can only remember one blown spot in that match, which was the triple-team powerbomb on Sasuke.

Don't concern yourself with WWE in Philly. You're in a city with CZW, ROH, MLW, and two or three other indies that occasional run. Instead of spending $50 on a WWE ticket, go to two or three indy shows.

Word. These arent the best,but they are awesome, Ki vs Spanky vs Williams vs Daniels,Danielson vs Styles, and Danielson vs Daniels vs Ki were all awesome. Also include Styles vs London if that took place in Philly. I am not sure
