Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2003 Konnan & Rey Mysterio def. Chris Adams & Norman Smiley Damn...These guys had a PPV match in 1990, and later on became Thunder staples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Peter_Griffin Report post Posted December 17, 2003 I would say the Cruiser match from 98 is the best of the bunch there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 Ultimo/Malenko from 96 is pretty good, but I admit I'm a tad biased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 Let's not forget Steiner vs. Sid from 2000. On a serious note, Saturn vs. Benoit is a underappreciated gem if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted December 17, 2003 Konnan & Rey Mysterio def. Chris Adams & Norman Smiley Damn...These guys had a PPV match in 1990, and later on became Thunder staples. I'm not sure people realize it or not, but that's Rey Mysterio 'Sr' there and not the little guy. Also from the Pat O'Connor cup, either DeClerk or Krueger would later become better known as Rocco Rock of Public Enemy. But he was a thin bastard back in the day. Unfortunately during the match he went for a tope con hilo on Rick though and Steiner just powerbombed him to the concrete. Not a pretty site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kardo 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 That Juvi/Rey Jr./Kidman way was the first WCW match I ever saw since I ordered Starrcade 1998 as my first pay per view. Lets just say after Kidman/Eddy I was on such a high everything was a let down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2003 The Horsemen/ Doom match from Starrcade 90 was pretty damn awesome too. Shame the pisspoor Black Scorpion fiasco followed shortly afterwards on the show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted December 18, 2003 IRonic how the non-PPV Starrcades (83-86) have bene given good reviews over these. You forgot the 1987 Starrcade, since it WAS on PPV, but not everywhere because WWF's Survivor Series jerked them over. Who can forget Garvin/Flair cage match when the crowd turns on Garvin and cheers uber-heel Flair, even though he's a Horsemen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
