The ONE and ONLY WM's 10 Greatest Matches Thread

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Doesn't this match own the most near-falls in a 15 minute time period record?

 

And how many of those were actually believable?

Every one of the newer marks is saying "TWO IC BELTS? WTF?"

Cool, ladder match. Next two better be bret/owen and ironman.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Number 3? This should be number 1!!!

Thanks.

Greatest match wise, it doesn't hold up and shouldn't even be on the list.

Damn I feel like watching this match later who's with me?

Saw it yesterday...but what the hell I'll watch it again

You can watch it every day and it'll never get repetitive.

[Guest Choken One]

so that pretty much leaves

 

Rock/Austin and either Bret/Owen.

 

Unless they go cheap and do McMahon Vs McMahon.

Shawn still thinks the ladder match is his "innovation." Oh well.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

They added in Rocky chants to the Hogan/Rock match. I'm 99% positive.

Mullets are a flyin'!

[Guest Askewniverse]

Number 3? This should be number 1!!!

Thanks.

Eh, I'd put Savage-Flair, Bret-Owen, and Bret-Austin ahead of it.

Number 3? This should be number 1!!!

Thanks.

Your Welcome.

 

This is the first time in a while tha Flair has done a show sober

The ladder match is incredibly high given that the No Mercy 99 ladder match made it completely obsolete.

 

LOL @ "the first" ladder match. That wasn't even your first ladder match Shawn let alone thee first.

Diesel pimping the silver and a little SPEED that has since gone so far out the window it can't even see his house anymore.

They are toally setting up Piper and Bret as number alright maybe not but that would be awesome!!!

Thanks.

I love this match for being everything the TLC matches aren't...

 

A smart match that doesn't rely on HIGH SPOTS.

HBK should wear those tights at WrestleMania.

[Guest Jimbo]

Y'know, for once, JUST ONE TIME, I'd like to hear SCOTT HALL's opinions about the ladder match, instead of HBK go on and on about being an innovator and all that trash. I don't care where or how he says it, but I'd like to hear HIS thoughts one time. Enough of this "Yay for HBK!"-WWE junk. SHow the Bad Guy some respect!

[Guest Choken One]

Bret brought the Ladder Match into WWF...

 

Another thing Shawn took from Bret.

"Ramon's under the ladder for a second time...that's DOUBLE BAD LUCK!"

 

I love that line and it slips into my vocabulary every once in a while.

considering that this wasn't really the first ladder match either..although he was still in the first one (vs Bret Hart)

 

I sorta liked the HBK/Bret Ladder match off the Smackem/Whackem tape although the pacing was a lot different and it was in front of a 1/2 dead house show crowd instead of a MSG WM X crowd.

Scott hall: What Ladder match?

"I was in a what match?...." *passes out drunk*

Then what, exactly, does it rely on? It's like 90% high spots; they're just not gasp-worthy high spots.

[Guest Deebo]

Putting smarkism a side for a second, you all know it's bullshit that Hogan/Andre didn't make it. That is the match that made the WWF.

Since Hall/HBK are BUTT buddies, they share the same brain I bet.

Walking Tall looks cool.

That wasn't "the first one" either. Dynamite Kid talks about doing Ladder matches in his book and that was in the early 80s.

Number 3?  This should be number 1!!!

Thanks.

This is the first time in a while tha Flair has done a show sober

It's sad that that's probably why they didn't talk to him.

[Guest Choken One]

Unlike the TLC matches, they didn't bump for the sake of bumping, in the TLC matches it's just loosely connected spot. stop. spot.

 

This one just felt continuiously flowing, the ladder was used as a weapon, not a launching pad (save for two spots)...It just felt more natural.
