A good match

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Eh, I'm bored, so here's a question:

In your opinion, what does a match need for you to consider it a good match?</font>

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Joey Abs.

[Sephiroth]

GOLDBERG :shifty:

[VJW]

Blood
Two good entertainers
A good crowd
Nobody's group comes out and ruins the match

That's what a match needs to be good in my opinion

[LK]

All you need is Kurt Angle, Benoit, Jericho or Eddie Guerrero and just like that you have a 3 star match

[Favre4Ever]

A good crowd helps a lot, cause its fun to see other people getting excited about it. I like a lot of in-ringpsyology; not necessarily the submission kind, but the selling kind. I like it when it really looks like the guy just got his shit ruined.

2 good workers who know how to wrestle

Decent crowd, not a huge crowd, just one that can understand what a good match is and react to it

and too be honest that should be it

[The One]

Barbeque Sauce...a stunner...puppies...

Nope I think thats it...

I guess guys like Benoit, Angle, and Daniels wouldn't HURT the match, but skills are really a factor once you break it all down :shifty:

Those spots that make people go "Wow!" but force them to go "Wow!" again in succession. I love it wen that happens, mainly due to the crowd adding to the atmosphere of what's gonig on in and out of the ring.

[Mr. JL]

Strong crowd reaction and a ...
Combination of high spots or moves in combinations never seen before and ring psychology.

[John la Rock]

1. 2 Above Average Workers (Angle, Benoit, Rock, HHH, etc)

2. A HOT CROWD

3. CRAZY SPOTS

4. Wrestlers kicking out of the other's finishing move

5. The match needs to be at least 20 minutes long

[Funky Fly]

at least one good wrestler
15 minutes to 1 hour length
at least 3 high spots (note: high spot doesn't necessarily = powerbomb through table or something like that)
decent story telling
a little chain wrestling
multiple pin attempts

I'm not a very fussy guy. Since the title is "a good match", I will consider matches like Benoit/Angle to be "excellent" and not just "good". A recent good match was the 8 man elimination on Smackdown.

You don't think there's ever been a good match under 20 minutes? I can't think of anything to refute that off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are some somewhere. I guess I dunno if this topic is supposed to be 'good' matches or 'great matches'.

Anyway, as for me, I don't think there's a specific formula to a good match. I've been surprised by quite a few matches that I would've never thought I would get into. I remember watching Jindrak and Cade v. Hurricane and Rosey on Heat once, and for some reason, I was way into it. I thought it was a good match.

Now I'm babbling, so [/post]

Good Annoucing as well along with the crowd and good moves, as well as false finishes that will surprise the crowd.
