yesss, what a match. I always forget about that period right before or right around the beginning of the Invasion angle. lots of gems

^ good choice, had forgotten that one.

Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon (Street Fight, WWF King of the Ring, 6/24/01)

Shane's second appearance on the list. This match is remembered more for the sick spot where Shane lands on his head after the glass that Angle suplexes him into doesn't break. But it's a great example of Shane MORE than holding his own in a brawl style environment. Throw in one of the greatest technicians of our generation and this was a unique match that had more than it's fair share of great moments. The build with Shane making sure to force Angle to wrestle as many matches as he could before ultimately costing him the KOTR crown before the match was brilliant as well.

Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio (WCW Cruiserweight Title Match, WCW Halloween Havoc, 10/26/97)

This was around my "I'll watch it later" phase of WCW fandom. One of the last matches from the company I remember really getting into. It was another mask vs title match which, as I think I mentioned during an earlier post, seems to be where Mysterio goes the extra mile. The ending was somewhat predictable but DAMN were these two fun to watch. Without a doubt one of the best cruiserweight matches WCW ever saw.

Love that street fight, should be higher on the list but i won't complain. ;)

I made the list before I posted any of this... and you have no idea how many times I've had to fight the urge to say "I kinda feel like this match could be a LITTLE higher... let me shuffle a little." I second guess like a motherfucker.

Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect (WWF King of the Ring, 6/13/93)

A rematch of their classic SummerSlam match two years earlier, this was after Mr. Perfect's face turn (though he certainly worked as the heel here). I was really into both guys at the time and I remember being torn during this match. Looking back, it's a sad reminder of how huge perfect could have been as a face. It would have been fun to watch. I feel like if this match had just taken place in the finals, it would be much more memorable. Unfortunately it was only a semi-final match leading to another good match in the finals between Bret and Bam Bam and went on to just be lost in the shuffle. Awesome match and a great, out of the blue ending.

Brian Pillman vs Jushin Liger (WCW Light Heavyweight Title Match, Superbrawl II, 2/29/92)

The match that really introduced cruiserweight wrestling to me and I'm sure most of the country. It's strange to go back and watch how the crowd is reacting to these things that they are in no way used to seeing. We've been spoiled with so many cruiserweight matches in the past 20 years that I can see why some might say this one hasn't held up over time but it's awesome to watch and feel the historical relevance of this match. Regardless of how it relates to other cruiserweight matches in your mind stylistically, it was awesome then and is still awesome now.

Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle (WWE Title Iron Man Match, WWE Smackdown!, 9/18/03)

The only 60 minute iron man match in Smackdown history. It's a shame it wasn't saved for PPV as it could have secured it's place as an all-time great match but as a free TV match, it was amazing. Commercials don't really effect iron man matches as much for obvious reasons but when it comes to these two, that 12 or so minutes could have very well made it even better.

Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels (WWF Title Match, WWF Survivor Series, 11/25/92)

That other, far less infamous Bret vs Shawn Survivor Series match. This kinda of signals to me the changing of the guard from guys like Hogan and Warrior being the norm for the main event scene to technical masterpieces like this. And for that, I feel like it has it's own little place in history for me. Just an outstanding wrestling match before Michaels even began to hit his stride as a singles star.

Steve Austin vs Ricky Steamboat (WCW United States Title Match, Clash of the Champions XXVIII, 8/28/94)

More known for being Steamboat's final match before having to retire, it was a fitting way to go out, especially considering where his opponent was headed. Austin was more than just good, he was downright phenomenal at times in the ring and this is a good example of that. The last in a series of awesome matches these two were putting on in the early 90's.

Randy Orton vs Cactus Jack (WWE Intercontinental Title Hardcore Match, WWE Backlash, 4/18/04)

In my opinion, the most underrated hardcore match of all time. Talk about putting over the younger talent, this match made Orton look like a future legend in an instant. He played the "Down to go toe to toe yet still scared shitless" young, brash punk so well. The storytelling was great in that aspect on top of the fact that it was a great, brutal and bloody hardcore match. You don't get that mix too often.

Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog (WWF Title Match, In Your House 5: Season's Beatings, 12/17/95)

Another underrated match that get's overshadowed by the match they had 3 years earlier. Like that, this one's filled with those shots of Diana which I felt were more effective with Bulldog playing the heel. It added a whole new aspect to the "torn" feeling coming from the situation. One of the best IYH matches ever.

Triple H vs Steve Austin (Three Stages of Hell Match, WWE No Way Out, 2/25/01)

Okay, so the second fall was arguably one of the most predictable falls ever. It's a glaring downside to doing this type of match. But that doesn't take away from the greatness that was the match as a whole. The end of one of the great late-attitude era feuds, this match was just a classic. You could just tell these two went until they were absolutely spent. I remember some people had a problem with the ending but I thought it couldn't be more fitting. You got a definitive finish but in the end, it was clear that neither was really the better man. Coupled with the post-match stunner, this match just encapsulated an entire feud within the span of one match. I loved that about it.

HALFWAYYYYY!

Ha ha! How badly do you regret making this thread?

I'm just waiting for him to finish so I can make the same thread

i'm glad he did make it, seen a few matches i had forgotten about which have been worth another watch. :cool:

lol. I don't regret it. It's just more time consuming to make 100 posts with videos and paragraphs per match than I thought. But it's opening up some discussion and bringing people's attention to matches they'd forgotten about. So, it's serving a purpose...

Also, I'm a compulsive list maker. So it's kinda fun making a list into a bigger deal.

The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (No Holds Barred Match, WrestleMania XXVI, 3/28/10)

It took me a while to do anything but hate this match. Especially as an HBK fan, I just hated how everything felt like it was leading to an incredible, magic, defying the odds moment where HBK ends the streak. After the anger went away though, I had to see it for what it was and that's why it ends up in my top 50 favorite matches ever. HBK's last match kind of irks me as he showed that not only could he still go, but he went out as the absolute best in the business. I don't care how old he was, there was never a point in his career where it was "time to give it up and let the young guys take over." He went out putting most of the younger talent to shame in the ring and putting on a classic in maybe the biggest pressure situation of his career in the main event at WrestleMania, considering the bar he and Taker had set the year before.

Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, Larry Zbysko and Barry Windham vs Sting, Brian Pillman and The Steiner Brothers (WarGames Match, WCW WrestleWar, 2/24/91)

Sid is no master of logistics as is evident here. The ending still makes me cringe and I remember being generally concerned for Pillman when I watched this as a kid. A lot of blood and some of the funnest organized mayhem you'll ever see in a wrestling ring... or two.

Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon (WWF Intercontinental Title Ladder Match, WrestleMania X, 3/20/94)

Before we really hit the realm of "You ranked that too high"s, we've got one that I'm sure a lot of people will probably think is too low. The birth of the ladder match, still a great match to this day where ladder matches are not only commonplace but have changed drastically. The ladder was used to enhance the match as opposed as a crutch which was awesome to see. These two didn't need the gimmick but they took it and they made it iconic. A great, historic match... I just happen to prefer 47 others.

Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit vs Rey Mysterio and Edge (WWE Tag Team Title Match, WWE No Mercy, 10/20/02)

Holy shit was I into this match. To the point where I was actually really let down that it ended. The last few minutes were especially remarkable. The insane pace, the rabid crowd, the awesome reversals, the false finishes and my favorite 619 ever. One of the crowning gems of that fabled "Smackdown Six" era. Great match, unbelievable last five minutes or so.

<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GcnQca7akac" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Awesome match! This whole PPV was pretty spectacular, especially on Smackdown's side. I remember Edge said somewhere that he had a really high temperature going into that match and felt like he was going to throw up the entire time. Huge props for that. :y:

Some will consider this a blasphemy, but I actually think this match is overrated.

#46

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart (WWF Title Steel Cage Match, SummerSlam, 8/29/94)

I liked Owen... I just don't think I put him on as high of a level as others. And that's probably why this is another match that is ranked lower to me than it may be to others. Character-wise I didn't really buy into him at this point but he was still putting on some classic matches and this is one of his best. A match that got knocked from the main event by the infamous Undertaker vs Undertaker match, this was one of the best worked cage matches I've ever seen.

Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect (Loser Leaves Town Match, WWF Raw, 1/25/93)

Flair's going away match before heading back to WCW. Like I said earlier, I really wanted so much for the Mr. Perfect face turn to turn into something bigger. As it stands though, this was the peak for me. A ton at stake and the little examples of "fighting extra hard" like the sequence where Hennig continued fighting to kick out of a pin while Flair's feet were on the ropes and Flair's turnbuckle flip followed by the immediate recovery and run to the other turnbuckle were awesome. And of course, Heenan on commentary was great as always. Two of the best of all time in a great, monumental match during the early days of Raw. Another awesome childhood memory. I can only imagine what a PPV crowd might have added to this.

Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho vs Steve Austin and Triple H (WWF Tag Team Title Match, WWF Raw, 5/21/01)

Arguably the best tag team match of the 2000's during the few year span where I think Benoit was being booked the best he'd ever been. Hot crowd and it was part of a streak of televised main events that were just off the charts. One of the few times where I didn't mind a bit of clusterfuck/mayhem at the end of a match. Triple H taking that Walls of Jericho on the table after tearing his quad is brutal to watch still.

#1WWFF, a question: how do you make this list? Are you making it up as you go along? Do you know exactly which match goes where? Maybe you have them split between 1-10, 11-20 etc and then arrange them?

TELL ME!!!

He has the list already made.

Yeah, I already made the list from 1 to 100, doing a little shuffling til I got it exactly how I wanted it. Now I'm just posting it backwards.

Watched this earlier, was truly awesome. 25 mins given for a tag match these days is unheard of.

Triple H vs Cactus Jack (WWF Title Hardcore Match, WWF Royal Rumble, 1/23/00)

The match that turned Triple H from a forced star into a legit superstar in my mind. This entire feud was everything right about putting over the future of your company and both guys took their individual goals and ran with them. Arguably the best hardcore match of the 2000s and a highlight of a feud that I grow to love more and more over time.

Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title Match, WrestleMania XIX, 3/30/03)

The second Lesnar-Angle match on my list might be higher if it held more significance over time looking at where the two men are just 8 years later. I don't take points away because of the botch at the end because I don't feel wrestling matches need to be aesthetically perfect. Some awkward landings make things feel more genuine. And in this case, jumping out of my seat after seeing a guy possibly break his neck only him to come back and win the match was a nice touch. These two were just brilliant together and while I felt going in that they didn't have the "WM main event" feel going, they pulled off one a stellar match. Not to mention the whole thing was in jeopardy up to a few days before because of Angle's condition. One of the more underrated WM main events of all time I feel. I could be wrong but I get the feeling most people are apathetic towards it.

<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xk3fz"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xk3fz_wwe-wrestlemania-xix-a-seatle_news" target="_blank">WWE - WrestleMania XIX a seatle -</a> <i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/lesnar" target="_blank">lesnar</a></i>

Big fan of Angle-Lesnar at Mania. Personally, knowing what Angle is going through during this match makes it that much better for me, as did the botched shooting star. The spot was sick, probably better because it was botched than if he would've pulled it off successfully.

That Triple H/Cactus Jack match was billed as a 'street fight'.

God I remember this PPV with such fondness and markism. In the UK, this was probably the absolute peak of pro wrestling and the WWF. I remember this was already during the Attitude Era, which everyone was watching, but in the UK that RR PPV was free on Channel 4 or whatever... and I remember the next day at school (I was 13 at the time) EVERYONE was talking about it. And I mean EVERYONE. All the boys, the girls, even the teachers were all in on it. Great times.

Yeah, that was the first (of 8) free PPVs that Channel 4 carried. Good times.

Also, a huge fan of Angle/Lesnar. Perhaps the Mania Main Event I've watched the most. It was hard to enjoy it at the time knowing that one false move could end Angle's career.

After a few of these matches you've thrown off I'm hoping to not see the HBK-Bret iron man match in here, I find it boring compared to some of these like HHH-Cactus

You stopped again.

I was busy... anyhoo...

Shawn Michaels vs John Cena (WWE Raw, 4/23/07)

*Dodges the looks coming his way* Alright, let me explain. This was the most I've been into a match on free TV since I was a child... and there wasn't even anything at stake. I'm convinced that if this were the WrestleMania match, we'd be talking about it with the great WM matches of all time. It really SHOULD have been how the WM match went but nevertheless the crowd is just loving it and Cena put on the performance of a lifetime. I just don't dock this match as much as most do for it being a non-title free TV main event. It loses some points for the lack of historical relevance but for overcoming that to be an absolute classic, I have it as my 41st favorite match of all time.

Sting and Lex Luger vs The Steiner Brothers (WCW World Tag Team Title Match, SuperBrawl I, 5/19/91)

I have a love for face vs face matches already. This one was particularly awesome though. Four of the top fan favorites at the time just destroying each other. It wasn't long or dramatic or a psychological masterpiece. It was like a video game... just power move after power move and the crowd was eating it up. A really unique match. One of the funnest start to finish tag matches I've ever seen. A clean ending would have been cool but... what are ya gonna do.

Ricky Steamboat vs Rick Rude (Iron Man Match, WCW Beach Blast, 6/20/92)

The introduction of the iron man match. Years ago, I would have put this higher. It was maybe my favorite match at the time especially as a huge Ricky Steamboat mark as a child an Rick Rude was arguably the star of WCW in the ring at this time and it made for an awesome back and forth match. There were some questionable falls but for the most part, they made sense. Rude's comeback in the beginning to start pulling away followed by the intentional DQ just to get an easy pin and the last 30 seconds were fantastic. I think now, seeing how clear it is that a 1 fall win is the only real way to make an iron man match interesting, it takes some suspense away but still two of the greatest of all time in a match that just fit them so well. It would have been great to see them go an hour.

Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn (ECW Television Title Match, ECW Living Dangerously, 3/21/99)

The feud that originally got me into ECW and I think this was their best. One of the great pure wrestling feuds of all time in my mind. Everything these two did against each other was just so fluid and flowed so well. Also, the best use of the "5 more minutes" thing with Lynn basically just being handed the title but declining it for a clean finish.

Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker (World Heavyweight Title Match, WWE No Way Out, 2/19/06)

Another match that's been lost over the years, these two put on a match that I think everyone expected to be good and ended up being amazing. Throw this in as the main event at WrestleMania a month later over Rey's title win (streak aside) and you've got an all-time classic. As it stands, it's another footnote in both men's careers but without a doubt one of the best matches either was ever a part of.

Steve Austin vs The Rock (WWF Title No Holds Barred Match, WrestleMania X-7, 4/1/01)

In hindsight, it's not as impactful as it seemed at the time. Still a HUGE deal at the time. Not only the turn but the match itself. One of the more anticipated WrestleMania main events of all time and it ended up being a classic. So unpredictable at the time. The main event of, in my mind, the greatest PPV of all time and the match that is considered by many to signify the end of the attitude era.

The Steiner Brothers vs The Miracle Violence Connection (Clash of the Champions XIX, 6/16/92)

I should preface this by saying this may be my favorite tag feud ever. I was a HUGE Steiner Brothers mark when I was a kid and Gordy and Williams always genuinely scared me for their sake. While you had monster heels that were intimidating, you always had a feeling the good guy would pull through but this was one of the first feuds that I always genuinely felt like the heroes just weren't up to par. While I know a lot of people consider this a weaker match in the feud, I still love it for what it was. Gordy and Williams just seemed so unbeatable.

Really big fan of the WM X-Seven Rock-Stone Cold match.

I preferred the match at 19.

The 19 match was great, I just liked the drama within 17, the heel turn had me on the edge of my seat.

We gonna get another match this week?

One more match....One more match....One more match....One more match!

#60 is a little underrated, in my opinion.

I liked the Hardcore Heaven RVD-Lynn match better than the Living Dangerously one.

So how about a new match this month?

New match before the end of the year?!

Think were gonna have to take drastic action and neg rep the fuck out of him until he gets back to this.......;)

Unless #1-wwf-fan is dead, there is no excuse for why this hasn't been completed/added to yet. :mad:

Be fair, the guy is busy organising enough coke to get Jake Roberts to attend his Survivor Series Party.

This.

All good though! New matches up soon!

This will be completed before Thanksgiving. You have my word TPWW!

When is Thanksgiving?

The last Thursday of November.

Can we expect any Thanksgiving Day brawls in the latter portions of the list

No way is this finished by the end of the month.

We'll probably get a marathon of matches on Thanksgiving.

That would be cool. Not that i care for Thanksgiving, but still.

Dun dun DUNNNNN.....

The Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage (Retirement Match, WrestleMania VII, 3/24/91)

The match was awesome. Unfairly or not, I MAY rate this higher because of the stuff with Liz and Randy after the match though. COME ON. Beautiful.

Bret Hart vs Steve Austin (WWF Survivor Series, 11/17/96)

The match that laid the bricks for the greatest double turn of all time. This was genuinely the first match I ever remember rooting hard for the heel and against the face. I was still happy with the outcome. Awesome match with one of those "down to the wire" feels.

Triple H vs Cactus Jack (WWF Title Hell in a Cell Match, WWF No Way Out, 2/27/00)

I know most people prefer the Rumble match. I loved the emotion of this one though with Foley putting his career on the line. Not to mention the through the cell spot and Foley finding it in him to get up. This was the match for me that officially brought Triple H to that next level.

Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper (WWF Intercontinental Title Match, WrestleMania VIII, 4/5/92)

Two of my favorite wrestlers ever. Not a long match but such an awesome story was told in the time given. Piper being torn when given the chance to go back to his old heel ways and ending up falling just short was genius.

This list is on fire.

Keep going!!

No. Please stop. We need time to recuperate.

Ric Flair vs Barry Windham (NWA World Title Match, NWA Worldwide, 1/24/87)

The best of a streak of great matches these two put on and it was free on an episode of Worldwide. Went to a TV time limit draw and might actually be higher on my list if it had an ending. Instead, it served to just add fuel to the fire of an already hot feud revolving around Windham dead-set on finding a way to beat Flair for the title and Flair constantly finding a way to escape with it. The match itself isn't online for some reason but it is on the "Ultimate Ric Flair Collection" DVD. Instead, I'll just post a video of another stellar match between the two from the same year that shows how well they worked together. Some actually consider this one to be the best match between the two. Flair definitely brought out the best in Windham and vice versa.

No I was not.

Edge & Christian vs The Hardyz vs The Dudleyz (WWF Tag Team Title TLC Match, WrestleMania X-7, 4/1/01)

The addition of Rhyno, Spike and Lita randomly in the match, the atmosphere, and the fact that I thought there was no way E & C would win it AGAIN made this match stand out so much. One of the highlights of arguably the greatest PPV in wrestling history and everything a TLC match should be. Intense from beginning to end.

Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title Match, WWE No Way Out, 2/15/04)

Eddie's world title win. I wish it could have worked out for these two to have a nice long feud because they just meshed so well together. Loved the false finishes at the end even though I could not have dreamed that Eddie would actually pull it out. Brilliant.

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell Match, WWF Badd Blood: In Your House, 10/5/97)

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to find this match either too high or too low. I'm not sure which. I thought it was a classic and still unmatched as far as HIAC goes, but I just never could quite put it in the upper ranks. I think as an HBK mark, I hated the heel turn initially so much that it kinda deterred me from liking it even more. Still, one of the better performances of HBK's career. This is one example of a cheap finish actually being perfectly acceptable though with Kane's debut being such a major part of WWE history.

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho (WrestleMania XIX, 3/30/03)

Obviously some back to back HBK is to be expected. This is one feud that couldn't be rehashed enough. Two of the greatest wrestlers of all time putting on a clinic for one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time. Awesome out of the blue finish, too.

Randy Savage vs Ric Flair (WWF Title Match, WrestleMania VIII, 4/5/92)

Yeah, it could have been better only because of the AMAZING build and the fact that it was Savage and Flair at WrestleMania. It had a lot of expectations to live up to and while many might find it too high, I wasn't disappointed one bit. Should be thought of as a classic all things considered. Not to mention Heenan on commentary being brilliant.

Shawn Michaels vs Mankind (WWF Title Match, In Your House 10: Mind Games, 9/22/96)

Maybe the most interesting blend of styles I've ever seen in a match and probably the best pure wrestling match of Foley's career. It had an odd ECW-like feel to it for some reason. A great mesh of hard bumps and story telling. A legit ending could have been nice but for a transition match as both men were just waiting to start bigger feuds, a DQ was fine I guess as the post match brawl was fun as well.

Royal Rumble Match (WWF Title Match, WWF Royal Rumble, 1/19/92)

Flair working with a plethora of different styles, heels and faces from a great era of WWE for an hour plus. Amazing.
