Best Match Ever...

[The One]

Name it. I don't want top 5, I don't care about your reasons. I just want to see one sentance saying what the best match ever was to you. Look how easy it is...

American Dragon vs. Low Ki vs. Christopher Daniels - Ring of Honor - February 23, 2002

[moshingfreak]

TLC 2

[Nowhere Man]

Benoit/Angle at the Rumble- Incredible technical wrestling, awesome storytelling, and the wrestlers' parts played to absolute perfection, all adding up to the best match I've ever seen.

[Sting Fan]

Keeping in mind i was a mark until about 2 years ago and my recent viewing of wrestling has been minimal i would say Low Ki vs Jerry Lynn vs AJ Stlyes Ladder match for the X Division title.

[Vastardikai]

Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Mr. Perfect Summerslam '91

[BasicThuganomics]

Stone Cold vs HHH 3 Stages of Hell.

It's my personal favorite, but probably not the best ever...

[Imagi-Nation]

either the No Mercy 99 Ladder match between The Hardyz and Edge & Christian, or TLC 2

[The Duck]

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle (c) at Royal Rumble 2003.

[DaveWadding]

Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Mr. Perfect Summerslam '91
Normally, i'm the 1st person to say that..I :heart: you

[Ricky]

Triple H VS Shawn Micheals - Summerslam 2002

[Ricky]

Keeping in mind i was a mark until about 2 years ago and my recent viewing of wrestling has been minimal i would say Low Ki vs Jerry Lynn vs AJ Stlyes Ladder match for the X Division title.
Well you still are a mark and for as long as you watch wrestling you always will be so I don't really see what that's got to do with it.

[blake639raw]

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit, RR 03

[sexymanalive]

Big Show Vs Brock 03 and Kurt Angle Vs Tazz RR 00

[Fox]

Cactus Jack vs. Triple H - New York Street Fight - Royal Rumble 2000

[loopydate]

HBK vs. Razor Ramon - Ladder Match - Wrestlemania X

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart, WrestleMania 12, Iron Man Match

[sadio8]

Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart - Survivor Series 1996

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair, Wrestle War '89

[Champion of Europa]

It changes for me every once and a while, but right now my favorite is Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk in the "I Quit" match.

[Lamuella]

David Arquette versus Jeff Jarrett versus DDP. Slamboree 2000. Best match ever.

[Sephiroth]

Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart - Survivor Series 1996

I would agree, almost forgot about it :| that match was to :drool:

[PoisonGirl]

I have so many favorite matches that it is hard to narrow it down to one. The first match that come to my mind was Bret Hart vs Owen Hart Wrestlemania 10.

[Lara Emily]

Benoit vs Jericho Super J Cup 1995

[Loose Cannon]

Hart Foundation vs Austin, Goldust, LOD, Shamrock: Canadian Stampede 1997

[Champion of Europa]

David Arquette versus Jeff Jarrett versus DDP. Slamboree 2000. Best match ever.

I see what you did there. Being all sarcastic. Using something that's not POSSIBLY over cliched and constantly brought up as a horrible booking decision and bad match all together. Good job.

[The CyNick]

I have a tough time choosing between Austin vs Rock from the Astrodome and Bulldog vs Bret form Wembley.

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Bret Hart vs Stone Cold - Wrestlemania 13</font>

[MVP]

Steel Cage match: Sting and Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk and The Great Muta at Clash of the Champions (I forgot which one).

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Benoit vs Jericho Super J Cup 1995

lol, good match. Best ever? That's a pretty terrible pick for best ever.

[Head]

Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Mr. Perfect Summerslam '91
Ding ding ding.

Seeing it live didn't hurt either.

[EazyMack]

At the moment I'd say the Flair/Funk "I Quit" match.

[Corkscrewed]

I see what you did there. Being all sarcastic. Using something that's not POSSIBLY over cliched and constantly brought up as a horrible booking decision and bad match all together. Good job.

No fooling you is there? ;)


Um.... currently, I feel like Undertaker vs Mankind (HIAC) at King of the Ring (I think). I forget the year, but ya know. It was THE match, basically.

I got a tape to see it, because I heard it was awesome. I had been a Hart Foundation fan for a while, and I marked like hell when I saw Bret go singles. I was starting to get sick of the Hogan's and the like. (I lived in South Carolina at the end of the Mid Atlantic Era, and I was a WWF fan. :nono: ) Talk about being blown away. The Jailhouse Match, the Chicago Street Fight, the Match Made in Hell, EVERYTHING seemed almost anti-climatic.

I picked that match because it was the one that started to bring me out of the Sports Entertainment Funk and I was well on my way into being a Hardcore Wrestling Fan proper. After ECW showed Highlights of Dean Malenko/Eddy Guerrero match, it was all over.

[Sting Fan]

What i was meaning Ricky was that up until about 2 years ago if i saw say Hart vs Perfect like many have said was theire favourite match i would never have understood what they meant because i never understood psicology or how a good match looks but now i can appreciate it a little more plus i must add i am still a huge fan of a good old spotfest.

[Supermark101]

Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair, Wrestle War '89


Great Choice

I like the Flair/Steamboat,2/3 falls match, from the Clash more.

Longer match, better storytelling

I have always been a mark for 2/3 fall matchs though.

[Lamuella]

I wear your counter-sarcasm with the pride it deserves.

at least I didn't say it was Mideon/Viscera

[da_king]

<font color="#ccffcc">
for me, i'd go with savage vs steamboat wrestlemania 3

I liked the 2/3 falls too, but I dunno, Wrestlewar was freakin intense. That one at Chi Town Rumble was frickin great as well.

[natureboycv]

<font color=8307ff><b>I haven't seen that many matches (never watched a PPV, and I've only been a big fan since about 2001) so I would have to say TLC III (the fatal four way one with Benoit and Jericho).</font></b>

[Cactus Sid]

I can't distinguish between these 2 matches for different reasons

American Dragon vs. Low Ki vs. Christopher Daniels - Ring of Honor - February 23, 2002.... AMAZING

and Cactus Jack vs. Triple H - New York Street Fight - Royal Rumble 2000 purely for emotion, work rate and just generally brilliant match.

[Oxstar]

any match with the rock in it!

[targo_the_sho_stopa]

ok, ummmmmmm, can't decide between
Trips v Mick-NY Street Fight
Kurt v Benoit-Ultimate Submission
Jeff v RVD-InVasion
Savage v Steamboat-WM4???? (can't remember)
Trips v HBK-Last weeks RAW
or Taker v Trips-WMX7

[The Naitch]

Rock/Austin- X-7

or

Brock vs. Rock- Summerslam 2002

[#1-norm-fan]

Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart, WrestleMania 12, Iron Man Match

:y:

[SukkaChump]

i dunno really.. i mean best match in my opinion that i've seen was
RVD/Sabu VS. Hayabusa and guy in white pants whos name i forgot.. -.-

there was another one in ECW i think it was Perry Saturn-forgot the guys name VS. RVD and Sabu.. i THINK

[Vastardikai]

guy in white pants probably=Jinzei Shinzaki (better known to Wrestlecrap era fans as Hakushi)

[targo_the_sho_stopa]

Brock vs. Rock- Summerslam 2002

Good match but I thought it was over too quickly for my liking, Brock just went in with huge offence so it slowed the match down cos he didn't have like the match work skills he has now to start small then build up from stuff like armdrags etc.

[targo_the_sho_stopa]

i dunno really.. i mean best match in my opinion that i've seen was
RVD/Sabu VS. Hayabusa and guy in white pants whos name i forgot.. -.-


It was Jinzei Shinzaki, and while I think of it, that was a quality match, I also liked (I think it was from the same event, correct me if I'm wrong HeatWave 98) Justin v Jerry Lynn

[BeadlesClaw]

Best Ever? Hmm... difficult question....

Goldberg vs Hogan
Two massive stars, both at the physical peak of their careers, being pushed accordingly. A match at frightening pace, with high risk moves and an unexpected end. Both these two get bad press, especially from internet fans, but lets face it - some people will moan at anything. Id rather watch these two titans than a 38 year old "stripper" poncing around calling himself a "sexy boy" anyday, and this match deserves the overused word "classic"

[John la Rock]

My fav is The Rock vs Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania X8

[Boondock Saint]

Best ever...no idea...one I enjoyed a lot though was Austin vs. Angle, Summerslam 01

[Bad Company]

HBK vs. Razor Ramon - Ladder Match - Wrestlemania X
yup

[Kapoutman]

Owen Hart vs Bret Hart - Wrestlemania X

[FakeLaser]

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Wrestlemania X.

[Nowhere Man]

there was another one in ECW i think it was Perry Saturn-forgot the guys name VS. RVD and Sabu.. i THINK

I believe you're talking about John Kronus. They tagged together for a long time as the Eliminators.

And while we're talking ECW, here's some more awesome matches from the little indy promotion that could:

2/3 falls Eddie vs Malenko
RVD vs Jerry Lynn from Hardcore Heaven '99
2/3 Rey Jr. vs Psicosis
RVD vs Bam Bam Bigelow

[FakeLaser]

I'm going to try and pick 10.

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Wrestlemania X
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Summerslam 1994
Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania XII
Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin, Survivor Series 1996
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect, Summerslam 1991
Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, Summerslam 1992
Canadian Stampede
Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat, Wrestlewar 1989
Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage, Wrestlemania III
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle, Unforgiven 2002

Hmmm, notice a trend?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Something tells me you enjoy Bret Hart

[Champion of Europa]

I'm going to try and pick 10.

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Wrestlemania X
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, Summerslam 1994
