2. vs. Owen Hart (WM X)

3. vs. Steve Austin (Survivor Series 96)

4. 10-Man Tag (Canadian Stampede)

I still haven't seen his match with Undertaker at One Night Only or his match with Perfect at KOTR 93, so those didn't count.

2. vs. Jarrett (IYH II)

Steve Austin

vs. Bret Hart - Survivor Series 1996

vs. Owen Hart - Summerslam 1997

vs. The Rock - Wrestlemania 17

4. vs. Ric Flair (HHavoc 94)

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).

[Guest Rrrsh]

HBK

 

1. Taker - Hell in a Cell

2. Deisel - Good Friends, Better Enemies

3. Mankind - Mind Games

4. Razor - WM X

5. Jarret - IYH 2

[Ravenbomb 0]

Raven:

 

vs. Chris Benoit, Souled Out

w/ Saturn vs. Benoit and Malenko, Spring Stampede (?)

w/ Stevie Richards vs. the Pitbulls

vs. Tommy Dreamer, when Dreamer beats him

vs. Benoit vs. DDP

 

 

might do a couple others later

[natey2k4 0]

Alex Wright

1) vs. Ultimo Dragon (Fall Brawl 1997)

2) vs. Ultimo Dragon (Clash Of The Champions 1997, 35 I think.)

3) vs. Chris Jericho (Road Wild 1997)

4) vs. Chris Benoit (Nitro 1995/96)

5) vs. Jean-Paul Levesque (Starrcade 1994)

 

*a few other wrestlers like Benoit and London would of been listed as well, but they've already be done. Benoit, I had two different matches for though.. vs. Alex Wright and vs. Bret Hart.

[Guest ally mccoist]

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.

Lemme add my 2nd fav:

 

Randy Savage

vs Ted DiBiase, Wrestlefest 88

vs Bret Hart, SNME Nov.87

vs Ric Flair, Wrestlemania 8

vs Ricky Steamboat, Maple Leaf Gardens 1986

vs Ultimate Warrior, Wrestlemania 7

[Guest nWoCHRISnWo]

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.

[Guest thatdude21601]

Tajiri...

 

vs Psicosis

vs Corino

vs Ohtani

vs Rey

vs Del Norte

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

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.

Y'know, it's ok to have opinions and all, but.... BWAHAHA! That's some funny shit, dude.

[Guest thatdude21601]

It's an eight snowflake system .

[Guest JebusNassedar]

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.)
