Best Match Ever...
 
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 01-03-2004 02:25 AM

TLC 2

Nowhere Man 01-03-2004 03:14 AM

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 01-03-2004 03:24 AM

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 01-03-2004 03:45 AM

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

BasicThuganomics 01-03-2004 04:32 AM

Stone Cold vs HHH 3 Stages of Hell.

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

Imagi-Nation 01-03-2004 05:57 AM

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

The Duck 01-03-2004 08:51 AM

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

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.

Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair, Wrestle War '89

Champion of Europa 01-03-2004 03:07 PM

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 01-03-2004 03:14 PM

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

PoisonGirl 01-03-2004 08:14 PM

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.

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 01-03-2004 11:10 PM

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

Seeing it live didn't hurt either.

EazyMack 01-04-2004 01:09 AM

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

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 01-04-2004 04:10 AM

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.

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.

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

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

da_king 01-04-2004 02:17 PM

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.

<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 01-04-2004 04:21 PM

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 01-04-2004 04:22 PM

any match with the rock in it!

targo_the_sho_stopa 01-05-2004 09:28 AM

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 01-05-2004 05:41 PM

SukkaChump 01-06-2004 01:51 AM

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 01-06-2004 02:00 AM

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

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.

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 01-06-2004 08:44 AM

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 01-07-2004 04:47 PM

My fav is The Rock vs Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania X8

Boondock Saint 01-07-2004 05:50 PM

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

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 01-07-2004 07:33 PM

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 01-07-2004 07:40 PM

Something tells me you enjoy Bret Hart
