Guest Tony149 Posted April 27, 2002 Report Posted April 27, 2002 To keep so many of these "favorite matches" threads from popping up every week. I've created a "One & Only Favorite Matches" thread. Post all your old school favorite matches here. The same goes for the favorite old school music, etc. Please look at the past threads to see if it's already been done (Chances are it has) by using the options on the bottom of this folder. I know that takes time, and you may be new, but c'mon, just look. In my opinion, the Old School folder can be the best (And should be) folder here, but it's up to YOU to make it the best. This thread will be pinned for a while.
Guest TheDames7 Posted April 27, 2002 Report Posted April 27, 2002 Bret/Owen - Wrestlemania X. Best Match I've Ever Seen. (Unless someone shows me something otherwise...and I have watched puro. If anyone has their Marathon Match from a house show....PLEASE PM ME). Dames - Sane Hart Family Member

Guest Genecide1 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 I vote for the Wargames between Sting's Squadron and the Dangerous Alliance
Guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 What PPV was that on Genecide? Anyways, Flair vs Sting.

Guest krambigmac Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 All the Flair vs Steamboat matches from 89 on. I haven't seen the others. The 2 Owen vs Bret's from WM 10 and S.Slam 94 Steamboat vs Savage from WM 3 Flair vs Funk - Clash 9 and GAB 89 Thunderdome - Havoc 89 Sting/Flair vs Muta/Slater - Clash 8 Warrior vs Hogan - WM 6 Savage vs Warrior - WM 7 Rumble match - Rumble 92 The match I love but most have only neutral feelings for..... Bret vs Taker at S.Slam 97 I know there are a ton more for me but those are among the best. By the way, the best is Flair vs Steamboat at Clash 6
Guest TheDames7 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 I agree with his Dameness Thank you sir...but I would like to be addressed as Lord Dames from now on. Dames - Gimmick Number 3,987.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted April 28, 2002 Report Posted April 28, 2002 Flair vs Steamboat at Clash 6 is by far the greatest match ive ever seen and probably ever will see. as for bret vs owen, Awesome match a true ***** in every sense of the phrase. i just found steamboat and flair to be better. another personal favorite of mine has to be Flair vs Luger from Wrestlewar 90. SK gave it ****3/4 if im not mistaken but i personally think it was a ***** match.
Guest ArkhamGlobe Posted April 29, 2002 Report Posted April 29, 2002 Off the top of my head... Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat - Chi Town Rumble 1989 (haven't seen the other matches in the series) Rick Rude vs Ricky Steamboat - Beach Blast 1992 1992 Royal Rumble match Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat - WrestleMania III Sting vs Vader - Super Brawl III Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon - WrestleMania X Bret Hart vs Owen Hart - WrestleMania X Wargames - 1987, don't remember the PPV's name Brian Pillman vs Jushin Liger - Super Brawl II Two matches that I LOVED back in the day but haven't seen them in 6-7 years: Ricky Steamboat vs Steve Austin - Clash 28 (I think) Ric Flair vs Arn Anderson - Fall Brawl 1995
Guest JHawk Posted April 29, 2002 Report Posted April 29, 2002 Just to chip in my two cents: Flair-Steamboat from Clash VI Honorable mention to the first Hardy Boyz-Edge/Christian ladder match, but I'm probably biased because I was at No Mercy 1999.
Guest converge241 Posted April 29, 2002 Report Posted April 29, 2002 One of my favorite underated ones was Sting/Booker T vs. road Warriors from Uncensored 96.. good stuff

Guest Tony149 Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 To make everybody happy, we're going to do something new in this thread. I'm going to throw out a year and YOU name your favorite matches from that year. Until the next year is called. To get this thing moving...I'm going to throw out a triple dose of old school! First three years are 1985, 1986 & 1987. Now post your favorite matches of those three years. Don't remember much from 1985. So I'll skip that year. 1986 Bulldogs vs. Dream Team - WM II 1987 Savage vs. Steamboat War Games
Guest alfdogg Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 I don't remember anything from 1985 either. 1986-Bulldogs-Dream Team 1987-Savage-Steamboat, Harts/Davis-Bulldogs/Tito, 20-man tag at Survivor Series
Guest razazteca Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 the Brett Hart vs HBK ladder match is on Wack'em Smack'em Col video or Confirmed Hits, I think.
Guest TheDames7 Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 Yeah, it is...and its the first ever WWF ladder match, regardless of what anyone tells you. Dames - Bret Mark 4 LIFE
Guest RetroRob215 Posted May 2, 2002 Report Posted May 2, 2002 1985 *12/30- WWF Title: Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage (MSG) *Ricky Steamboat vs. Bob Orton Jr. *07/13- Terry Funk vs. Lanny Poffo 1986 *WrestleMania II- Boxing Match: Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper *WrestleMania II- WWF Tag-Team Titles: British Bulldogs vs. Dream Team 1987 *WrestleMania III- WWF Intercontinental Title: Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat *Great American Bash- War Games: Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Lex Luger, Tully Blanchard & J.J. Dillon vs. Road Warriors, Nikita Koloff, Dusty Rhodes & Paul Ellering Good idea...
Guest alfdogg Posted May 3, 2002 Report Posted May 3, 2002 Bret-HBK's ladder match is on Smack 'Em Whack 'Em, as is his first WWF title win against Ric Flair.
Guest Tony149 Posted May 3, 2002 Report Posted May 3, 2002 After a "great" reaction to the new rule, well, ok, it's been slow, but it's going on. We now head into a new year. Class, give me your best matches of 1988. 1988 Flair vs. Luger - Great American Bash & Starrcade '88 Flair vs. Sting COTC 1 The whole Clash 1 card Flair/Windham vs. Midnight Express - COTC (4?) The opening (It's the opening match on the CV version) 20 (?) man Survivor Series match from Survivor Series '88. Can't think of anymore. Remember you can still post your favorite matches of 1985, 1986 & 1987.
Guest RetroRob215 Posted May 3, 2002 Report Posted May 3, 2002 1988 All of the Savage-DiBiase matches (there were a lot of them) My favorites are a Cage Match where some stupid fan climbs up the cage and attacks Virgil, and the Mania match. Clash I: Flair-Sting, MX-Fatastics, Blachard & Arn-Luger & Windham
Guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Posted May 4, 2002 Hogan vs. Giant Halloween Havoc 95 Hogan vs. Earthquake feud Wargames 95 Any Natural Disasters match
Guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Posted May 4, 2002 All of Ric Flair's matches in '89. I don't think he had a bad one. Ditto for Steamer. Steamer/Savage-WM III Lightning Kid/Jerry Lynn-Indy Best of Juniors Tourney Jushin Liger/Brian Pillman-All of em. Steiners/Sting and Luger-SuperBrawl '91 Steamer and Dustin Rhodes/Enforcers-Clash 17: I laughed, I cried, I WANTED A SEQUEL! Bret/Owen-All matches they had. Jericho/Pitbull 2/Shane Douglas/2 Cold Scorpio-ECW '95 Pitbulls/Stevie and Raven-Gangsta's Paradise Eddy/Deano-ALL OF EM, BAY-BEE! Blanchard/Magnum TA "I Quit" match-Oh HELL YEAH. Forget Foley being hardcore. TULLY F'N BLANCHARD IS HARDCORE IN THIS MATCH! But my all-time favorite, a match that I have a special place in my heart for. The one that started it all. Sting vs. Vader at GAB '92. Guys, I really cried at the end of this match when Vader powerbombed him dead. Sting was DA MAN, and I hated to see him lose. All I could say is wow...
Guest Tony149 Posted May 5, 2002 Report Posted May 5, 2002 New year! We now move to the year 1989. Many call it the greatest year in wrestling and with good reason. 1989 Flair & Windham (I think it was Barry) vs. Eddie Gilbert & Ricky Steamboat - WCW's Saturday Night show. I belive it was called "World Championship Wrestling" back then. Flair vs. Steamboat - Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions 6 & Wrestle War '89 Hogan vs. Savage - WM V (5) One of Hogan's best matches. Which says a lot. Since you can count his best matches on your hands. War Games '89; The Road Warriors, the Midnight Express & "Dr. Death" Steve Williams vs. The Freebirds, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy & the SST - The Great American Bash '89 (A forgotten War Games match. Maybe due to there being no blood but this was good.) Luger vs. Steamboat - Great American Bash '89 Sting vs. The Great Muta - Great American Bash '89 Flair vs. Funk - Great American Bash '89 "I Quit!"; Flair vs. Funk - Clash of the Champions 9 That's all I can remember for now.
Guest RetroRob215 Posted May 6, 2002 Report Posted May 6, 2002 Flair-Steamboat (Clash) Hogan-Savage (Mania) Brainbusters-Strike Force (Mania)
