The o­nly thing better than a Scaffold Match is a Scaffold Match involving Playboy cover girl Torrie Wilson and former WWE Women's Champion Madusa (then known as Alundra Blayze).

 

The only thing better?

 

Anyways, nice little array of matches there. It does seem weird that all the matches took place around the same time period for the Smackdown Greatest Matches.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Yeah, I just kinda posted these without reading all the little blurbs... like, what the hell? I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING is better than a scaffold match, and I would think Torrie Wilson would actually make a scaffold match worse.

 

"By September 2000, Kevin Nash was successfully putting prestige back into the WCW Championship. At Fall Brawl, however, he was up against his greatest challenge - a Steel Cage Match against former WCW Champion Booker T. "

 

God bless the person WWE hires to write this, because they things sound 100x better / interesting than they should be.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

That Booker T Vs. Nash match you're bashing...

 

Better than Brock/Hardcore Holly.

Better than JBL/Taker.

Better than HHH/Orton, most likely.

 

Granted Eddie and Benoit were able to carry a lot of the main events this year against stiffs (Trips, Kane, JBL twice), but that match is actually underrated, and Nash did the right job.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I've heard good things about the match, and I wasn't trying to bash the match (although my wording makes it seem like I was).

 

What I was trying to point out was...

 

1. "Kevin Nash" and "Championship Prestige" are not often seen in a sentence together.

 

2. Booker T, especially by WWE (the ones advertising this match now) standards, was hardly Nash's toughest challenge to date.

 

That's all I meant. The "making things souond more exciting" comment was in regards to the scaffold match.

[Guest ISJ981]

Edge vs. Kurt Angle

5/30/02  |  Approx. run time: 15mins.

A newly-bald Kurt Angle takes to the cage for this match against Edge. You won’t believe who comes in after the match to help Edge. Watch and find out.

 

Edge vs. Chris Jericho

7/25/02  |  Approx. run time: 15mins.

SmackDown’s first-ever steel cage match features Edge and Chris Jericho. But that’s not all, as Christian, Lance Storm, John Cena and more all found their way to the ring for this o­ne.

Even though they may make the matches seem a lot more important than they really are, they should brush up on editing, or just get their own information straight.

 

The Jukebox matches, in my opinion, leave much to be desired. I mean, there's only one match involving the SmackDown Six period. They should have spread out the time to get the history of the whole show, not just it's entity of a separate brand.

 

On the other hand, the WebCast extras don't look too bad, with the exception of the two WCW tag matches.

 

I was hoping that WWE would take advantage of their SMW, AWA, and older WCW footage this time in the Jukebox, but hey, there's always next month.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Most of these matches should be extras on a Best of Smackdown DVD.

Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle

9/18/03 | Approx. run time: 50mins.

In what may arguably be described as o­ne of the best matches in the history of SmackDown!, WWE Champion Kurt Angle put it all o­n the line against Brock Lesnar in a legendary WWE 60-minute Iron Man Match.

I think that's because the match had tons of commercials so the actual broadcast time is 50 minutes

Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle

In what may arguably be described as o­ne of the best matches in the history of SmackDown!, WWE Champion Kurt Angle put it all o­n the line against Brock Lesnar in a legendary WWE 60-minute Iron Man Match.

It ran about 50 minutes when you take out the commercials...

 

EDIT: Dammit, Barron, you beat me to it by what, 15 seconds or so?

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

So, did the match go 60 minutes, with only 50 broadcast? Or did the match itself only go 50 minutes?

 

If it went the whole 60, why not offer the entire match here?

[Lil' Bitch 0]

I wish they would show TV main events in their entirety instead of treating like it was still on TV when they release the footage.

[bob_barron 0]

So, did the match go 60 minutes, with only 50 broadcast? Or did the match itself only go 50 minutes?

The match lasted an hour.

 

Counting entrances and stuff like that- we probably saw 50 minutes of footage.

 

Where is this site btw?

Question: At the WWE Summerslam site they had a POLL of like 5 matches, where the winning match would be available FREE OF CHARGE on wwe.com to watch come September.

 

I believe SSlam Rude/Warrior 1990 was winning...can we DL it yet?

[Guest Anglesault]

Why aren't any of Smackdown's greatest matches ever any good?

Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero vs. The Rock & Edge

8/1/02 | Approx. run time: 15mins.

Two future World Champions Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero team up to take o­n The Rock and Edge in this SmackDown! main event.

Who would of thought at the time that both Benoit and Eddie would win World titles before Edge. And that both would, at least presently, be a helluva lot more over than him.

 

And i have to laugh at the fact that Dvon/Batista vs Randy/Farooq is one of the selections for this thing.

[BUTT 0]

The most ridiculous thing about that write-up about Nash restoring prestige to the WCW title was the fact that he had been the champion for less than 3 weeks before Fall Brawl.

[Jericholic82 0]

ummm, how was edge vs jericho sds first ever cage match, when the above mentioned angle/edge one took place in may, 2 months before that, even though I could swear we saw a sd cage match way before this

This match was good in my opinion and very underrated but their first encounter was way better.

That Booker T Vs. Nash match you're bashing...

 

Better than Brock/Hardcore Holly.

Better than JBL/Taker.

Better than HHH/Orton, most likely.

 

Anything is better than JBL/Taker, even a Brooklyn Brawler squash.
