CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 My first pick of two is one I'm surprised hasn't been taken; I remember when I selected my 4-way tag match, I didn't think it would be long before the ten-man from Raw went. In the same vein, I thought that this would be picked shortly after the selections of Austin-Benoit, and TLC II. Jericho-Benoit vs. Edge-Christian vs. Hardys vs. Dudleys. Smackdown May 2001. Four-way ladder match for the tag titles. A definite spotfest, but a fantastic match. I'm gonna make a FOURTH Bret-HBK pick. The Youtube video now has Jesse Ventura's amusing commentary edited out, but even solo Vince can't wreck this match: The Rockers vs. The Hart Foundation, SNME 90.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 On behalf of King Cucaracha: Blood Generation (CIMA, Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino) vs. Do Fixer (Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid and Genki Horiguchi) ROH Supercard Of Honor, Dragon Gate Rules Is there a better example of six guys coming into a promotion and completely winning over the fanbase? The match starts off well and just keeps getting better and better, to the point that by the end the entire crowd is standing. The pace the Dragon Gate guys can go without missing a step is mind-blowing. The end sequence is just amazing. A match that maybe made a promotion considering the amount of exposure the Dragon Gate guys have gotten since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mw679 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle/WWE Title/Wrestlemania XIX/March 30th, 2003 Nice match between these two in the main event of "The Granddaddy Of Them All". Brock defeats Angle for the championship after Brock gets concussed after a botched SSP attempt. He still finds a way to get Angle up for an F5 to finish. It would have been awesome to see Brock hit the SSP(I've seen video of him in OVW hitting it perfectly), but even with the miss, I thought this match was as good as advertised.

Canadian Brandon 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2008 This next match may not have been the greatest wrestling in the world, but it may have been the biggest match of the 90's in terms of hype and importance. Sting was the biggest face of the 90's and Hogan was the biggest heel of the 90's. When these two met up at Starcade, it was huge. Sting vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Starcade 1997.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2008 For me, I'd include the match that , in my eyes, solidified Orton as a top-tier guy. Unfortunately, events change the history remembers this match. But for one night, at Summerslam 2004, Randy Orton was The Man. Summerslam 2004 Randy Orton vs Chris Benoit World Heavyweight Championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jebus 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 With my next pick, I choose: Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham - NWA World Title - aired January 20, 1987 The infamous "One Hour" time-limit draw that took up the entire episode of World Wide Wrestling. It's also the one on the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection DVD. It's Flair and Windham for 45 minutes (well, 31 minutes with commercials cut). Great HOT crowd. It rules.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Not to say it wasn't a good match, but all I can remember about the Angle/Lesnar ironman match was how much of a letdown it turned out to be. I remember rushing home so I could catch the start of the match, expecting a MOTYC, and it really wasn't IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 -No Pic Available- Cruiserweight Battle Royale/Chris Jericho vs. Dean Malinko Slamboree '98 5/17/1998 The highlight of the entire Cruiserweight division in WCW. Jericho going to town on them in the battle royale announcements, the better-than-average battle royale, the sheer "what the fuck?" moment of Cyclope winning, the fucking unmasking, it was pulled off fantastically all the way through.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2008 First match is a legendary tag match from 1994. El Hijo del Santo & Octagon vs. Eddy Guerrero & Art Barr - Masks vs. Hair, Best of Three Falls, Elimination Format - AAA When Worlds Collide Second is a bit of comedy match. In normal terms it's a stretch, but for this style it is heads above any other match I would want to see.

Jebus 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2008 Not from the match but whatever: Edge & Christian vs. The New Brood - WWF No Mercy 1999 - October 17, 1999 With all the TLC's being taken, I may as well not save this one any longer. I still think this one is better then the TLC's that followed it. An incredible spotfest that made four careers. The first post-match standing ovation that I saw in wrestling.

Leading up to the split between Michaels and Diesel (where the Heartbreak Kid would relinquish yet another championship without doing a job), this was easily the highlight of their tag team championship reign. Very hot match at a time when company morale was at its lowest. It aired on 10/30/94. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
