Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk/I Quit Match/Clash of the Champions IX: New York Knockout/November 15th, 1989

 

Alright, just got home from work, so I'll make this quick. Just a great brawl between these two, they chop the hell out of each other, take it inside and outside the ring, Flair works Funk's leg beautifully to set up the figure four in the middle of the ring to get Funk to say "I Quit". IMO, this is Flair's best brawl.

 

Also, I had HBK vs. Razor in the ladder match at WMX for my next pick, and was surprised it lasted this long.

Were the forums down just for me? I've been trying to get in here since Monday morning!

 

Edit: Apparantly yes. Luckily, I didn't miss my turn. Carry on!

My next pick is a personal favorite of mine. My 2nd favorite John Cena match(my Cena vs. Umaga match got picked already dammit). This one was a blood bath. John Cena vs. JBL. I Quit Match. WWE Championship. Judgment Day 2005. May 22, 2005

I am not really a fan of kicking someone out if they miss one pick. Two maybe, but one stuff could happen. Problems I know that surface could be if a pick is made late at night and then a person cannot get to a computer until 6 or 7 the next day. I think the first two rounds went pretty quick and then slowly trudged along.

Well, the way I see it, is if I know my pick has a chance of coming up in the next six hours or so and i'm about to go to bed or work, then PM yourself GT and tell them a pick or alternative pick in advance.

 

There's enough people to know when you're going to be on really.

Stupid technology!

 

Anyway, please update the draft board Gert T, I gotta know if I missed my turn due to my technical difficulties.

Okay, since Gert, through no fault of his own, isn't always around to update the main page, can you, and I hate to put these in huge letters,

 

PLEASE PM THE PERSON AFTER YOU ONCE YOU'VE MADE YOUR PICK, AND TELL THEM THEY'RE UP.

 

We can make this draft flow smoother this way.

Made them huge not to shout, but so anybody who scrolls down the page can see it.

And now, my fourth-round selection...

 

Rob Van Dam vs. Hardcore Holly

ECW on Sci Fi

September 26, 2006

Tulsa, OK

God damn I love this match. Everything about it. Hardcore Holly putting up an amazing effort in spite of the sickening laceration on his back is still one of my favorite things in the decent first four or five months of the ECW revival. Some of the best TV that WWE gave me that year.

With my next pick, I choose:

"British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith vs. Owen Hart - WWF European Championship - February 26, 1997 (aired March 3, 1997 on Monday Night RAW)

 

Just an incredible match to crown the first European Champion.

They played off a lot of spots from the previous Bulldog/Bret and Owen/Bret classics.

Chris Benoit vs. Raven

Souled Out 1998

One of my two favorite matches by one of my favorite wrestlers ever (Raven, not Benoit).

Since their Royal Rumble match was already chosen, I'm going to have to go with the Hell in a Cell rematch at No Way Out. I'm talking about Triple H vs. Mick Foley. This match holds a special place in my heart, because I was there to see it live and at the time, I really thought my favorite wrestler was gone forever.

I'll do my best to keep an eye on this, but I'm already watching and updating the wrestling draft, NFL draft, NBA draft, NHL draft...

This is a pick on behalf of Gert T.

 

Chris Benoit v. Kevin Sullivan/Falls Count Anywhere/Great American Bash '96

This is the one Benoit match I might have taken. It's got some historical intrigue as well as being a great match.

My next pick:

 

3490374.jpg

 

Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin, Survivor Series, November 17, 1996

 

Although the rematch at WrestleMania XIII was certainly the more memorable of their encounters, this one is probably the better match.

Well, the drive to work helped me decide between the two matches I'd narrowed it down to...I guess I need a Flair match in here somewhere, don't I?

WCW World Heavyweight Championship match: Vader [c] vs. Ric Flair, title vs. career, Starrcade 93, December 27, 1993
