Best matches involving non-wrestlers!

Hogan/Vince at WMX9 and Shane/Angle from KOTR '01 are the only two decent ones that come to mind, you know of anymore?

I liked the Stone Cold/McMahon cage match at St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Well, if you want to use two non-wrestlers, that Fonzie/Beulah bloodbath from ECW was quite entertaining.

Then for women, we have the Trish/Steph match that most everyone seemed to enjoy.

Coach vs. Tajiri and Coach vs. Eugene were good.

If Vince counts as a non-worker, then his major matches against Austin and HHH in 99, against Flair in 02, and against Hogan in 03 were all very entertaining... hell even his matches in 03 against Gowen and Steph were miles better than they had any right to be......

Bam Bam/LT at WMXII was better than it had any right to be.

Test vs. Shane McMahon from SS 99 was awesome at the time. Watching it today, I'd leave it as decent.

 

Vince vs. Shane from WM X7 holds up pretty well as just a good 'sports entertainment' match

That's my pick too.

 

I remember fearing the worst and then it turned out to be a good match.

Beulah vs. Fonzie was insane.

Shane vs. Test @ SummerSlam 1999 is an old favorite of mine.

 

Stephanie vs. Lita for the Women's Title on RAW was decent.

Beulah vs. Fonzie was insane.

I always liked the NFL vs Wrestlers Battle Royale at WM2.

Do we consider the likes of Foley and The Rock now as non-wrestlers since they never wrestle really.

Does anyone know if there was any real reaction from the NFL or its teams? This certainly wouldn't go over like hotcakes in today's environment.

The whole King vs Andy Kaufman deal.

No, of course not.

Why wouldn't the NFL thing fly in this day and age?

 

I realise wrestling will never be held in the same regard as football, but given all the bad press football's gotten in the last 6 months or so (cruise ships and the like), how's any kind of publicity gonna hurt? Wrestling's more, for all intents and purposes, alot more respected than it was in 1996, even with it often being less than stellar.

 

Plus, p retty well every week there's at least some football players in the audience on Raw.

Generally because of injuries. Teams are much more protective of their talent now than 20 years ago. Many contracts have clauses specifically prohibiting some physical activities.

I always loved the Test vs. Shane McMahon. I have not seen it for years but remember being really into it.

 

Test was actually over at the time as well.

Shane v Vince at WMX7 was great. Fuck wrestling, that was great entertainment.

[JHawk 0]

Bam Bam Bigelow-Lawrence Taylor is like the Flair-Steamboat of celebrity wrestling matches.

 

Then you've got the three cage match with Jeff Jarrett, Diamond Dallas Page, and David Arquette, which was like the Oz-Bill Kazmaier of celebrity matches.

Got to be Shane-Vince at Wrestlemania X-7. A decent brawl with Shane spotting his heart out and a great ending to the Vince-Linda storyline.
