Matches that were surprisingly good

Recommended Posts

What matches ended up surprising you in actually being good when they occurred?

 

I was surprised that Vader vs The Bossman from Spring Stampede 94 was good

Vader vs Undertaker Canadian Stampede 1997 was good as well

 

What else has surprised you as being actually interesting to watch when you were expecting a crapfest?

Fall Brawl 97- Meng and the Barbarian vs Wrath and Mortis (Kanyon carries 3 men)

Road Wild 98- Meng vs the Barbarian (not great, but a healthy **1/2, which is ** more than I was expecting)

Also from Canadian Stampede, HHH vs. Mankind is pretty good, minus the double-countout ending.

 

Brock vs. Undertaker (HIAC) from No Mercy 2002

 

And wasn't the Kane vs. Albert IC Title match from after KOTR 01 really good too? I've heard of that reaching ***1/2.

^----Took my pick

 

Kane/HHH from Judgment Day 2001. Chain matches are almost never good, but this one was very entertaining.

Tatanka & Smokin Gunns vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & The Headshrinkers, Summerslam 93

Sting vs. DDP, Nitro April 99

 

Why all the surprise over those Bossman matches? he was a good worker until his Big Bubba Rogers gimmick in 95.

I remember that one.

 

Shawn/Sid.

 

I really didn't think carrying that sack of shit beyond ** was possible but shawn went and made it ****.

 

Bret never did anything that remarkable...I don't think Flair has either.

Sids strengths:

 

- Squashing opponents in 2 minutes.

- Throwing smaller opponents around like pinballs.

- Awesome powerbomb

 

HBKs strengths:

 

- bumping like a pinball

- has good matches with larger workers

- Has believable movset outside of punch against said workers.

 

 

No wonder the match was good.

Which match? Survivor Series or the Rumble?

D'Lo Brown vs. Mark Henry at I believe Unforgiven '99...whatever the show right after SummerSlam was. Henry pulled out some moves I didn't expect from him. It came off quite well, and did a good job of building off of Henry's heel turn at SS.

Goldberg/Steiner from Fall Brawl 2000.

 

Seriously, I'd say ***.

 

Hmm... what else...

 

Albert vs Kane after KOTR was good! I was still markish at the time, but I really got into the match.

I just want to know why Vader/Taker & Vader/Bossman would be listed. Vader is THE shit and Bossman 'n Taker were/are perfectly fine workers. What would make anyone think those matches would suck?

 

Anyways, Goldberg/Ogawa from Hustle 1.

Universo 2000/Perro Aguayo Jr. from CMLL on Galavision.

Konnan/Perro Aguayo from AAA WWC.

series of course.

 

Rumble was a let down...in front of his hometown, i'd expect Shawn to really go all out but it was a rather pedestrian ** effort...still among sid's best matches nontheless.

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Twice

Recently, WrestleMania XX's main event.

 

I guess I was so pumped about Angle/Guerrero that I didn't pay much attention to this one.

 

It delivered.

Malenko/Scotty from Backlash 2000. Malenko destroys Scotty's leg for ten minutes and kills him dead with a super top-rope DDT, the match only loses points for Scotty hopping on the injured leg to do the worm. For WWE, a good **** match.

According to SK, Shawn had serious flu at the time and nearly didn't make the match. Sid had to carry him, which explains why it didn't reach previous heights.

The best I can think of for bret was dragging diesel to a couple of good matches but shawn pulled a better one out of him.

 

As for flair, he allegedly dragged El Gigante of all people to a *** match at some point, which if true beats micheals achievement with sid anyday for mine.

there is no proven record of this match, it's really as far as we know, a phantom match.

Bret/Diesel at SS95 SMOKES any HBK/Diesel match by a good mile. Smokes HBK/Sid by a mile too.
