Guest BobBacklundRules Report post Posted June 27, 2004 I started this thread because at the moment I can’t think of any good HHH matches that weren’t gimmicked. The only match that comes to mind is the “Special night in Greenville”, and that was just because he bumped crazy for Flair. All other “big” matches have had some special stipulation.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 vs Shawn Michaels on Raw, 12/29/03 is one that comes to mind. Ummm...actually it's the only one that comes to mind. HHH vs Benoit on No Mercy I guess and maybe HHH vs Jericoh in the phantom match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ray Report post Posted June 27, 2004 Also, I don't believe Austin/HHH vs Benoit/Jericho - Raw 5/21/01 had any stips... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 HHH vs. Mankind (Canadian Stampede) HHH vs. Owen Hart (WM XIV) I've heard HHH vs. Dude Love from One Night Only is really good, but I've never seen it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 Vs. Goldberg - Survivor Series 2003 That match was terrible. His matches with the Rock at Backlash 2000 and Judgment Day 2000 (I don't know if the Iron Man Match should really be considered gimmicked....) were actually very good.

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted June 27, 2004 Oh, and he was in an awesome Eight-Man Tag on the RAW before SS '02. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted June 27, 2004 Well, the 3 way, easy, Unless a 3 way is considered a gimmick (or was it no DQ?) Him/SCSA v. Canadians is #1 if the Three Way does not count. For singles only, HBK late last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest news_gimmick Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Heh, I've always been a fan of his match X-Pac at Backlahs 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 28, 2004 I recall a **** tag match with Xpac and Kane with Chyna... or some combonation of those four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest news_gimmick Report post Posted June 28, 2004 That would be Kane/Chyna vs. Triple H/ X-Pac at the St. Valentines Day Massacre in Feb. 1999 during Kanes slave period with the corporation. Not a bad match at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, that was the first match that popped into my head when I clicked this thread. I remember loving it when I was younger. It's been a while since I've actually sat down and watched it though. I'm one of the few people that actually liked HHH/RVD from Unforgiven 02. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's well worth a re-watch. I honestly think it's a forgotten classic. It has some really, really good roleplaying and focused storytelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2004 I think his match v Mero at Beware of Dog 96 is really underrated. I remember it being pretty damn good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SoZe Report post Posted July 3, 2004 I'll have to confess that I haven't seen the tag match againt Jericho and Benoit since it aired, so I'll have to say his match with Michaels last December. I really like that match, and the commercial break is perfectly set up so you don;t miss two much. Feels like a PPV match, if you edit out the commercials. Good stuff.
