I think I brought up Tajiri vs Low Ki in anohter thread. I thought they would have blended nicely but it was a terrible match... mainly because of Tajiri.

Brock vs. Angle at Summerslam.
I agree, definitely not as good as the Wrestlemania XIX match.

The techinical quality of the match just didn't match up.

I'm not gonna get into a big debate about this, but quite frankly I thought the Kurt Angle VS Brock Lesnar iron man match last year was a load of shit.

Brock vs. Angle at Summerslam.



Yeah, true. It was still brilliant, but it wasn't as good as their Wrestlemania match. I don't quite understand why, since Angle was in better condition at Summerslam and didn't need to dance around his injuries as much.

I think "load of shit" is a wee bit strong, but let me guess - you didn't like the messy psychology and the big gaps in action during the first half?

HHH vs. Shawn Michaels and Eddie vs. Chavo at the Rumble.

Definitely

and the Chamber match from Summerslam where HHH beat Goldberg. Terrible.

how about HHH vs. HBK lastman standing royal rumble match... I think mainly because it was rushed and they were trying to compete with there year end match.

I think im gonna have to dig in the past for this one. I will have to go with the Stone Cold vs Undertaker at the Highway To Hell Summerslam PPV. I waited for this match anticipating that it was gonna be great. When it ended I was very disapointed.

One more that is more updated. The Rock Vs Goldberg. I forgot when it happened which makes me seem dumb since it was so recently. But with all the hype WWE game this match I was waiting for something big to happen. Instead we got a match that was 40% Spear and 60% lying on the ground. Know I know this is basically every Goldberg match but still. This one should of been good. But It Failed.

Those have to be the worst matches that I have seen to this day.

Chris Benoit vs Ric Flair from Raw. I mean, you've got (IMO) the best wrestler in the world today against the best wrestler of all time (again, imo), so you'd think this would've been a match for the ages. It was a pretty good match, but just didn't deliver what it should have. I mean, there wasn't even much of a chopping contest, considering the people involved.

Bret Hart vs Curt Hennig I can't remember which WCW PPV it was but I believe it was for the US title. Anyway, their SS 92 match was a classic and the matchin WCW was just.... boring. Maybe it was just me though.

How was that SUPPOSED to be good?

What about when Edge fought Christian that one time? (can't remember when).

Also - that one time when Triple H defeated HBK in the 2 of 3 falls match.

The SummerSlam of 98 was a great PPV. I dont know how you can say you were disappointed by the end of UT/SCSA. I thought the entire night from start to finish was great but i remember that being a really good match. Granted neither are the best of wrestlers but they always put on an entertaining match.

Hell somewhere around here i still have the poster i stole from the bar where i was watching that PPV.

Any match featuring Ric Flair in the new WWE. Seriously hes lost his talent, he has man boobs now, and everytime I watch him wrestle I pray they have EMT's nearby to restart his heart cause it looks like half the time hes gona drop dead in the ring.

Dont joke on flair. Not everyone can do the "old man flop" (where he gets pushed in the corner and flops upside down and over the ring post) as well as he does. :roll:

A couple years ago Flair and Jericho had a feud, and it looked like a great setup: Both men have great technical experience and are masters of submission. Unfortunately Flair had just gotten back into the ring and their styles really seemed to clash. The result was about a billion knife edge chops, one or two poorly done grappling moves and very little entertainment.

Hell in a Cell Nash vs Triple H for the world heavyweight title.

It was disorganised, to say the least. The match was not up to standard for a Hell in a Cell match. All we had was a who-can-bleed-more contest in the end. The finish was also sucky. :n:
