Guest JHawk Report post Posted June 6, 2002 1990- Hogan vs. Warrior WMVI 1991- Savage vs. Warrior WMVII (Simply tells too good a story not to get my vote) 1992- The Great Muta vs. Masahiro Chono (8/10/1992--NWA Title tournament semifinal) 1993- Vader vs. Cactus Jack Halloween Havoc 93 (Texas Death Match) 1994- Larry Zbyszko vs. Lord Steven Regal (WCW Saturday Night--Zbyszko wins TV Title. No real idea why, but this is one of my favorite matches ever for some reason) 1995- Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (SummerSlam Ladder Match) 1996- Vader vs. Shawn Michaels (SummerSlam) 1997- Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin WM13 1998- DDP vs. Goldberg Halloween Havoc 98 1999- Edge/Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz No Mercy (I'm sort of biased because I was there, but I can't think of anything else that wasn't Rock vs. Foley that stands out) 2000- Triple H vs. The Rock (Ironman Match--Judgment Day) 2001- The Rock vs. Chris Jericho No Mercy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted June 6, 2002 90: Hogan/Warrior 91: Bret/Perfect 92: Never saw Hart/Bulldog, so I'll go with Hart/Piper from WM8. 93: HBK/Jannetty from Raw 94: The Ladder Match, closely followed by 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Vs HBK and Diesel from Action Zone (That was bad ass for a TV match) 95: The Ladder Match at SummerSlam, closely followed by Survivor Series' "Wild Card Match" 96: Toss up between the Iron Man Match and HBK/Foley (which I saw in person). 97: Austin/Hart...followed by Austin/HBK Vs Owen/Bulldog from Raw 98: Um...wrestling wise, I didn't like 98 very much. Contrary to popular opinion on this board, I thought the Taker/Austin series sucked. I'll say Shamrock and the Rock from KOTR. 99: Tie: Chyna and Jericho from Armageddon and the Ladder Match from No Mercy (The Ladder match was a nice spotfest, but Chyna and Jericho was a good match. And you know I'm biased towards Chyna so...) 00: Judgment Day's Iron Man Match (up until the ending) 01: I liked Rock and Austin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
