[Coffin Surfer 0]

Sadly, I haven't seen Flair/Savage, Warrior/Hogan, or Warrior/Savage in years, nor have I seen the two most recent Wrestlemanias. Still, from what I've recently seen I would go with:

 

1. Rock vs. Austin Wrestlemania 17 ***3/4

-Austin plays the determined challenger role to peferection, even going so far as to attack the Rock before the bell. Despite the out of place, mood killing goofiness with Vince, this match has perhaps one of the very best final runs I've seen in a U.S. match. Austin's body language and emotion really makes the ending, as he does a remarkable job of displaying frustration and his win at any cost attitude. Very smart, and surprisingly deep match.

 

 

2. Austin vs. Hart Wrestlemania 13 ***3/4

-You know the story. Hart brings the hate, but sadly he doesn't work as well with Austin as the Rock did in a similar setting. While the story is dramatic, it just isn't as smart as the work in Rock/Austin.

 

3. Micheals vs. Ramon Wrestlemania 10 ***3/4

-A well built super fun spot fest that tells a good story centered around the match's gimmick.

 

4. Bret vs. Owen Wrestlemania 10 ***1/2-3/4

-Owen's string of nearfalls in the middle of the match is some of the most brilliant wrestling in WWF history. Sadly, you got the out of place leg work, and Bret's superhero escape of the Sharpshooter. But these are just minor complaints in an otherwise excellent match. But Micheals/Ramon is just so well put together the whole way through, and so much more focused that I think it beats out the "wrestling" match.

 

 

5. Savage vs. Steamboat Wrestlemania 3 ***1/4

-As the challenger, Steamboat's three thousand roll ups make since as does his control offense with the armbars.

 

 

6. Piper vs. Hart Wrestlemania 9 ***

-An intersting battle of mind games, and an effective if not somewhat cheesy dramatic finish. Bret's Jumbo impersonation at the the beginning with the wristlock is something you don't see to often in Vince era WWF.

 

 

7. Beniot vs. Angle Wrestlemania 17 ***

-Simple solid storytelling.

 

8. Savage vs. Hogan Wrestlemania 5 **3/4-***

-It's really amazing how much Hansen/Hogan the following year kills this match. Still, a smart match until the Hulk up.

 

I'm running blank now.

 

edited-due to my mistake on match time. Also decided to add 1/4 to Savage/Steamboat after re-watching it. If it's really around 15 minutes, I guess I've only missed about 2-3 minutes of it.

[Guest Askewniverse]

My top 10 WrestleMania matches (in chronological order):

 

Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat (WrestleMania III)

The Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage (WrestleMania VII)

Roddy Piper vs. Bret Hart (WrestleMania VIII)

Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage (WrestleMania VIII)

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart (WrestleMania X)

Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania X)

Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (WrestleMania 13)

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle (WrestleMania X-Seven)

The Rock vs. Steve Austin (WrestleMania X-Seven)

The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania X-8)

 

 

5. Savage vs. Steamboat Wrestlemania 3 ***

-For a 40+minute match in a such a limited environment as late 80s WWF, these two did alright.  As the challenger, Steamboat's three thousand roll ups make since as does his control offense with the armbars.

The match wasn't that long. It lasted a little under 15 minutes.

[JHawk 0]

We're going to need to bring this thread back from the dead after WrestleMania XX. Mostly because I refuse to post the list until I've seen them all again (and trust me, I will before WMXX comes around).

I haven't seen the full Wrestlemania 3 tape version in ages.

 

I only have a clipped version(Wrestlemania's greatest matches with redubed commentary), where it cuts with Gorilla saying something like,"were passed the 40 minute mark".

 

Maybe Monsoon lost his mind or was just trying to make it seem more epic. I'll have to find the full version.

 

edit:

 

Just watched tape. Monsoon's exact words are,"This match has already gone by some thirty something minutes" after the clip. Wow.

Bring it on.

 

Yeah, that's about as high as I would place them, because I've seen plenty of better matches.

I heard of under-rating, but damn.

 

Let me guess, Kobashi fan?

Not underrating if you look at the bigger picture, there's more to wrestling than just what the WWF has produced in the past couple of years.

 

Kobashi fan?

 

Not one of my favorites. Kobashi could do something incredibly brilliant, only to turn around and do something totally retarded. If were just talking 90s All Japan, I always thought Misawa, Kawada, Taue, Hansen, and Jumbo were all better peformers at the peak of their careers. However, when he was motivated and focused he could be just as great if not better than any of them as evident in 4/93 vs. Kawada, and 5/91 vs. Jumbo.

[Austin3164life 0]

Only ***1/2 for the greatness that was Austin/Rock and Austin/Bret? I understand that some people prefer Puro over the WWF/E, but that is underrating the matches. Anyway, here's my list

 

1. Austin/Rock (17)

2. Austin/Bret (13)

3. Flair/Savage (8)

4. Bret/Owen (10)

5. Steamboat/Savage (3)

6. Bret/Piper (8)

7. DiBiase/Savage (4)

8. Austin/Rock (19)

9. Jericho/Michaels (19)

10. Michaels/Ramon (10)

Actually ***3/4, for reasons I've done explained. There are simply better matches. Just because I'm not gonna toss out a blinding winter of snow flakes doesn't mean I'm saying the matches are bad. Kawada/Taue 1/15/91 is a better worked, more intense brawl than Austin/Hart Wrestlemania 13, and is almost as rich in story, yet it isn't even a top 50 All Japan match.
