Best Matches Of 2002

[Guest Austin3164life]

The ones I can think of right off the top of my head, despite this year being pretty bad, are as follows:

 

[iN NO RANKING]

 

-Kurt Angle vs. Edge (Backlash)

-The Rock vs. Chris Jericho (Royal Rumble)

-Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair (June 3, Raw?)

-Regal/Guerrero vs. Spike?/RVD (May Raw)

-Eddie Guerrero vs. RVD (Ladder Match, Raw)

 

I can't really think of any other good and enjoyable matches.....

[Guest dreamer420]

here are my choices:

 

rvd vs. eddy guerrero (raw, ladder match)

ric flair vs. steve austin (raw, no punches)

ric flair vs. undertaker (wrestlemania x8)

kurt angle vs. edge (judgement day)

 

that is about it. flair is all ready listed on two of my MOTYC

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

do you mean Angle vs. Edge from Backlash dreamer?

 

cause IMO that match was great...while JD match was just...meh.

 

anyway:

 

Rock vs. Jericho (Royal Rumble)

Angle vs. Edge (Backlash)

RVD vs. Eddy (Judgment Day)

RVD vs. Eddy (Raw, Ladder Match)

[Guest dreamer420]

i liked the match from judgement day better. they've had three matches that I was considering listing but I chose the one I thought was best.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Rock/Jericho at the Royal Rumble

 

RVD/Guerrero, Ladder Match on RAW

 

Edge/Angle at Backlash

 

 

Out of those three, I'd pick Rock/Jericho.

[Guest alfdogg]

RVD/Eddy, ladder match 5/27 RAW

RVD/Eddy, Judgment Day

Austin/Angle, 1/28 RAW

Angle/Edge, Backlash

Rock/Jericho, Royal Rumble

 

In no particular order.

[Guest JaKyL25]

1) Angle vs. Edge, Backlash

2) Rock vs. Jericho, Royal Rumble

3) Eddy vs. RVD, Judgment Day

4) Austin vs. Angle, 1/28 Raw

5) Eddy vs. RVD, Ladder Match, 5/27 Raw

6) Angle vs. Edge, Judgment Day

7) Flair vs. Taker, WrestleMania XVIII

8) Royal Rumble, Royal Rumble

9) Jericho vs. HHH, Hell in a Cell, Judgment Day

10) Flair vs. McMahon, Royal Rumble

 

Rumble is the PPV of the year thus far, with JD a close second.

 

Everything else is pretty worthless.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

Hogan/Rock (much like Andre/Hogan from 87, not good but hot match ith a good way to build)

 

Flair/Austin from Raw 3 weeks ago

 

RVD/Eddie 4 weeks ago

 

Jericho/HHH from judgement day

 

Edge/Angle from both PPVs and the cage match

 

RVD/Jericho from.....wait, was that early this year or late lst year? when RVD won by DQ in a title match.

[Guest bob_barron]

1. Angle v. Edge from JD

2. RVD v. Eddy Ladder

3.Angle v. Edge Backlash

4.RVD v. Eddy JD

5.Rock v. Y2J

6.Taker v. Flair

7.RVD v. Eddy Backlash

8.Kidman v. Tajiri Velocity

9.Y2J v. Triple H JD

10.Y2J v. Triple H Wrestlemania

[Guest RepoMan]

The only two real countenders I can see so far this year would be the NWA X title match from tonights PPV and RVD Eddy from Raw.

[Guest razazteca]

NWA TNA X Title match June 26 2002

Psicosis (Nicho) vs Low-Ki vs AJ Styles vs Jerry Lynn - this double elimation should be considered as one of the best PPV main event matches of the year.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

You can go ahead and add the NWA X title match to my list.

 

DAMN.

 

I don't know where it ranks so far this year...but DAMN.

[Guest Dillon Likes Bossman]

I'd say the NWA: TNA X title match is the best match of 2002. But than agian I am a huge Low-Ki mark.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

I'd be willing to bet that Hollywood Hogan vs The Rock Wrestlemania X8 will be one of the front-runners.

 

The match itself was nothing special but DEFINETLY one of Hogan's best ever and the crowd was insane, as was I. Great mark-outmoment and is defiently the most awe-striking match I've seen this year.

[Guest dreamer420]

while the hogan/rock match from wrestlemania wasn't anything special as far as technical wrestling goes it was still one of the most amazing matches ever. the way that the crowd turned on the rock and hogan was suddenly the top face in the skydome was unbelievable to see.

[Guest Austin3164life]

I was at Wrestlemania X8 in Toronto with my friends, and all of us are Austin fans, but during the Rock/Hogan match, it was amazing the energy level in the arena. I wasn't cheering either men, but I felt so much energy from all of the people around me......

[Guest dreamer420]

and that's exactly what i'm talking about AustinHHH4life. it moments like that that can make a match into a classic.

 

i would assume it was probably about the same atmosphere as when andre and hogan were standing face to face in the middle of the ring at wrestlemania 3

[Guest Singular]

I havn't seen the NWA X-Title match, but it sounds awesome. So far I would say the best match this year has been Lo Ki vs. American Dragon vs. Chris Daniels three way from the Ring of Honor show.
