Hulk Hogan: (waits for laughter to stop)

1. vs. Randy Savage (WM V)

2. vs. Ultimate Warrior (WM VI)

3. vs. Paul Orndorff (SNME Cage Match)

4. vs. Ric Flair (HHavoc 94)

5. vs. The Rock (WM X-8)

 

Yeah, my favorite wrestler sucks when it comes to in ring quality. I'd do Steve Austin, but someone else already did 4 of my 5 (minus vs. Angle from SSlam 2001).

The Rock, in no order:

 

vs Austin (WMX7)

vs Jericho (No Mercy 2001)

vs HHH (Ladder, Summerslam 98)

vs HHH (Iron Man, Judgment Day 2000)

vs Mankind (I Quit, Rumble 99)

 

You could swap the Mankind match with any of Rocky's ppv matches with Angle or the Rumble 2002 one with Jericho, but I wanted a representation of the Mankind feud in there and I liked it anyway.

Bret Hart:

 

vs Owen, SS 94

vs Owen, WM X

vs Austin, SurS 96

vs Austin, WM 13

vs Piper, WM VIII

 

Hard to leave out the KOTR 93 match, the Owen tribute match, and left out the 10 man at Canadian Stampede only because it's not a singles match.

Ric Flair:

1.) 2/3 Falls match: vs. Ricky Steamboat (Clash VI)

2.) vs. Ricky Steamboat (WrestleWar '89)

3.) vs. Barry Windham (WCW WorldWide)

4.) "I Quit" match: vs. Terry Funk (Clash IX)

5.) WARGAMES: w./ Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Ole Anderson, and J.J. Dillon vs.

Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, Hawk, Animal, and Paul Ellering (Great American Bash tour '88)

6.) Cage match: vs. Harley Race (Starrcade '83)

7.) Cage match: vs. Lex Luger (Capital Combat '90)

8.) Tag Match: w./ Arn Anderson vs. The Hollywood Blondes (Clash XXIII)

9.) Royal Rumble (Royal Rumble '92)

10.) vs. Vader (Starrcade '93)

 

I'd rate each of these matches a legit 5 stars, except for the Vader match which loses 1/2 a star for the botched ending. Flair is God.

The Great Muta/Keiji Mutoh:

Vs. Yuji Nagata (in which Nagata finally comes into his own as G1 2000 Champion)

Vs. Toshiaki Kawada (in which Mutoh makes a pretty damn big impact in AJPW.)

Vs. Hiroshi Hase (in which Muta bleeds like few men before him)

Vs. Jyushin Lyger (in which Muta teaches the world NOT to unmask Lyger.)

Vs. Hulk Hogan (in which Hogan shows that he has some small bit of wrestling talent. And a pretty crisp Cross Armbar takedown.)
