Favorite ~5 minute matches...

[J.B. Buzzkill]

Just out of curiosity, I thought we could share a few of our favorite short sprint matches throughout the years, and maybe even provide a quick timekiller or two.

 

 

Mocchy and Otani try to END each other in the '95 J Cup.

HHH vs. TAKA Michinoku

[Jingus]

1-2-3 Kid vs. Owen Hart

 

Jack Evans vs. Matt Sydal

 

And I can't seem to find the whole match, unfortunately, but here's a brutal clip from Mike Awesome vs. JT Smith. EDIT: and here's another one.

A Mark Jindrak/Doug Basham match from Velocity immediately comes to mind. It's on my other computer though, I'll try and upload it.

Got Damn! The way RVD took that baseball slide, with two chairs on his face while in the Tree of Woe?

Here's Spanky's debut (?) 5-minute tryout match against Kurt Angle, from February '03.

I was at the taping, and it was a lot of fun.

It's closer to 10 minutes, but here's Angle vs. Mysterio from SummerSlam '02. Always a good watch, and includes some great executions of a wheelbarrow suplex, and a springboard leg drop.

I've never been able to find the entire match on YouTube, but the match between Randy Savage and Dynamite Kid at the Wrestling Classic in 1985 is legendary (if criminally short -- Dynamite/Macho went 6 minutes, and they gave Macho/JYD nearly 20???).

 

Here's a clip of the finish:

There's a fun little Finlay/Savage match from Nitro on Daily Motion. I'm on a slow computer, so I'm not going to search for it, but it's listed as Belfast Bruiser vs. Randy Macho Man Savage.

 

And, yeah, that Basham/Jindrak match from Velocity is awesome. Basham also had a really good little match with Paul London around that time. Ooh! I really enjoyed Bryan Danielson vs. John Cena on Velocity too. You could probably fill this thread with fun little Velocity and Heat matches.
