CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 This next pick is so incredibly hard for me because there are about 4 matches I want and I know that the other three will all be gone by the time my turn comes around again. I guess I'm going to go with my 2007 Match of the Year: John Cena vs Umaga - Last Man Standing - Royal Rumble 2007 The referee in that match looks like it's Ricky Steamboat.

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 The Rock vs. Steve Austin Wrestlemania 17 4/1/2001 Probably the best Wrestlemania main event ever. And with all the quality WM matches going so quick I better scoop this one up while I can. I include the pre-match video packages and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 The picture I used for Cena vs. Umaga isn't actually from the match I chose. I just couldn't find a better pic with the two of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Ravenbomb, I hope your Island is a quick swim away, since you keep taking my matches! My pick will be up in a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Will stick with the same card for my next pick: Edge & Christian v. The Dudley Boys v. The Hardy Boyz/WWF Tag Titles/TLC III/Wrestlemania X7/April 1, 2001 I think it could possibly get back to me, but like Austin-Rock (Which has the best pre-match package of all-time IMO) I love this match.

Jebus 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 The pic is not of this particular match but the best I could find with it's two participants: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - WWE Championship - WWE Royal Rumble 2003 - January 19, 2003 Their styles complimented each other so well. Just a great match. So good that Benoit got a standing ovation after the bout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I was wondering if there were going to be any Benoit matches. There was actually one I was going to pick on my last turn but I figured Rock/Austin was more likely to be chosen by someone else first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Shit. Ravenbomb took my damn Punk/Delirious match! I figured that'd be a lock late teens pick, I didn't reckon on any other indy heads. Although, they did have three matches in the series... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jebus 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 "Well then I know what I'M picking on my next turn." I think a lot of people know what you're picking next turn. The question is: Who's gonna get it first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Once again, I have four picks in mind, and they go in draft slots 3-7. Cena-Umaga was not one of them, but that's a hell of a pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 For my third-round selection, I am going to go with one of my personal favorites from the boom period: "I Quit" Match for the WWF Championship Mankind © vs. The Rock Anaheim, CA January 24, 1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 With one match, Mike Awesome managed to win back the hearts of ECW loyalists (after a very sour departure from the company some five years earlier), in what most consider the in-ring highlight of the best show of the year. I know I'm a day behind, but I just re-read this, and as a staunch ECW loyalist, this statement couldn't be more accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 I'm not a fan of multiple-man matches (although my first pick obviously disregards that with 10 guys) so i'm going to pick one of only two triple threat matches i've ever liked. This ranks so high for the plain reason it actually made me a fan of an entire promotion. I never liked TNA at all before this match, it just seemed too bush league to me at the time. I just happened to be switching over and Bravo2 were showing a PPV, just happened to catch five seconds of a match and I was immediately hooked, and it made me a fan of Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles. TNA Unbreakable 2005 X-Division Championship Chris Daniels vs AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe I can't find a picture of the match.. so here's a swell picture of Joe.

Canadian Brandon 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 I don't know why this match hasn't been chosen yet. An all time favorite of mine. As a kid I was a huge HBK fan and this was his defining moment. A great technical match and the start to one of the biggest feuds in history. Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart. World Championship Match. Iron Man Match. Wrestlemania 12.

mw679 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat/NWA World Championship/Chi-Town Rumble/February 20th, 1989 Not a pic from the actual match, but it's the best I could find. Anyway, figured I'd round out the trilogy seeing as the other 2 were taken. I don't think you can go wrong with any Flair/Steamboat match, so why not have one on my list. Great matwork and reversals, awesome chops from both and it ends with Steamboat beating Flair for the World Championship, can't get much better than that. Edit: Thanks to CanadianChris for the pic.

mw679 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Great choice again, but can't help but notice that it's exactly the same photo as the match on page one :] Thanks, yeah I was hoping to find something from that match(I actually just finished watching it before I selected it) Unforunately, there just aren't too many pics from Chi-Town Rumble, so I just went with something close. I figured you guys would get the picture...uh, no pun intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Wow, I'm kinda shocked this one's still on the board. Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon WWF WrestleMania X, WWF Intercontinental Title Ladder Match I personally think it still holds up well, even with what this match eventually spawned with the popularity of the Ladder Match gimmick. Add in the historical context and it's one of the essential matches of the 90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 I'm in a bit of a rush, so no pics for now. My first pick is going to open the door for one I'm still surprised is on the board: Four Corners Tag from Raw two weeks before Summerslam '98: Austin/Taker vs. Kane/Mankind vs. New Age Outlaws vs. Rock/Dlo Brown/Owen Hart. My second pick is from ECW Hardcore Heaven 99: Jerry Lynn vs Rob Van Dam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio Summerslam 2002 Maybe the best opening match on WWE PPV, ever. Hot crowd, excellent action, very entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 This draft really needs a kick in the ass. We've only had 11 picks in the past 55 hours. The other draft has had 35 in the same amount of time. I think if someone misses their turn more than once, they should be eliminated from the draft and their already-chosen matches put back up for grabs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Definately. I thought this would be a good way to pass the time while we wait for our picks to come around in the other draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
