favorite matches of all-time
 
Hello, TPWW Universe. Just made an account here and looking forward to getting to know you folks. By way of introduction, can we post a list of our favorite matches? (This might have been done before.) Here are three that come to my mind immediately. I'll probably think of others, and will list them later.

WrestleMania 17: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Rock
This was probably the most emotionally involved I've ever been in a match.
The swerve was great, even if what followed left a lot to be desired for me.

Royal Rumble 2000: Triple H vs. Cactus Jack
To me, it had one of the best build-ups ever and was a five-star classic brawl. I think it really put Triple H on the map as a main event player, and showed Mick Foley could still go. Just a freaking amazing match that I have watched tons of times over the years. BANG BANG.

Clash of the Champions (1989): Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat
This was probably the last of the "old-school" matches and it had that kind of feel to it.

You vs heterosexuality.

Shisen Kopf 06-13-2011 01:05 PM

Chris Benoit vs his kid vs Woman triple threat match

VSG 06-13-2011 01:07 PM

Leave the newbie alone, you two!

Shisen Kopf 06-13-2011 01:15 PM

Ok fine everyone with half a brain knows the greatest rasslin match of all time was Jake the snake Roberts vs Tom Stone on WWF superstars in 1991

Rock Bottom 06-13-2011 01:17 PM

My favorites were both Michaels/Taker matches.

Just a word of advice, every post you make will be nitpicked by faggots. Just ignore them and discuss whatever the hell you want to.

Bret Hart vs Austin: Wrestlemania 13

Sting Vs.Ric Flair..........The first Clash Of The Champions

mike adamle 06-13-2011 03:14 PM

Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Toshiaki Kawada 6/3/94 from All Japan

Waylander 06-13-2011 03:31 PM

Samoa Joe vs Jack Evans vs Delirious vs Kikutaro in a four corner survival match springs instantly to mind. I don't know the date but there's likely only ever been one.

VSG 06-13-2011 03:34 PM

Dunno about 1 match but this one is right up there:

This one.

Savage vs. Steamboat a close second.

Nicky Fives 06-13-2011 05:07 PM

Bret/Owen WM10
Bret/HBK WM12
Angle/Benoit Rumble 2003

One match that doesn't get nearly enough love- Foley vs Flair in the I quit match.
My twin brother was a huge Foley mark at the time, and I wasa huge Flair mark. While the match could have been a game of chess, this epic battle of the titans was seen as a major match between the two.

Triple H vs Henry Godwin- proof that you can wallow in pig shit and come out smelling clean.

Every Taker/HBK match.

Tommy Dreamer vs The Sandman in a singapore cane match just for the drama afterwards.

No shit :lol:

But you did list 3 of my favorites there so you can't be a mental handicap.

The match that comes to mind when this question is bi-monthly posted is Diesel vs Shawn Michaels In Your House Good Friends Better Enemies.

It was the perfect brawl and highly intense and dramatic. Loved it, I'd even say it topped the Iron Man Match the month before. Shawn seemed to top every match that year though so, no surprise.

You talking bout Foley/Flair from Impact before BFG last year?

Lock Jaw 06-13-2011 07:55 PM

Probably the one from WWE.

SummerSlam '06 I'd guess.

mike adamle 06-14-2011 03:17 PM

Triple H vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at No Way Out 2001 in 3 Stages Of Hell was probably my favorite WWE/F match

RiX1024 06-14-2011 04:53 PM

Bret Hart vs British Bulldog Summerslam 1992.

That match was a really big deal. It's a shame such a classic is always going to carry such an odd stigma with WWE not acknowledging it in the near future (and likely never) and a bunch of weird jokes cracked about Benoit. I can remember back to the time period and a lot of people were pissed that Michaels somehow became involved in the main event. They thought it would cheapen a Benoit victory or make it less likely for him to win. The ending was amazing and the crowd was all over it. It was just Benoit's time.

Schlomey 06-15-2011 08:49 AM

Bret vs Owen at Wrestlemania to name one

Rollermacka 06-15-2011 03:31 PM

Melina vs Alicia Fox :)

Bret v. Owen (WM10)
Bret v. Bulldog (SS92)
Jericho v. Michaels (WM19)
Angle v. Lesnar (WM19)
Michaels v. Bulldog (SNME92)
Bret v. Austin (SVRSRS96)
Michaels v. Cena (RAW)

Ughh....I dunno, there are like 40,000 of them.

Anybody Thrilla 06-15-2011 05:53 PM

I'd actually like to throw Cena v. RVD from One Night Stand (for the crowd alone) and Angle v. Undertaker from No Way Out in there.

The Naitch 06-15-2011 06:38 PM

Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock SUMMERSLAM 2002
The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin WRESTLEMANIA X7
John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar BACKLASH 2003

Joesgonnakillyou 06-15-2011 08:06 PM

So many of my favourites have already been mentioned here's a couple that have been missed that I love:

Flair vs Savage (WM 8)
RVD vs Jericho (KOTR 2002)
Eddie vs Lesnar (No way out 2004)
Saturn and Raven vs Benoit and Malenko (Spring Stampede 1999)

Jordan 06-15-2011 09:15 PM

To name something recent, Triple H vs The Undertaker from WM, what a fucking war. That was everything I could have wanted that match to be.

Autobahn 06-16-2011 06:07 AM

HBK vs. Austin at Wrestlemania 14. Never seen someone put themselves through so much as what HBK did that night.

Also Wrestlemania X-Seven with Rock/Austin was truly epic.

This Thread vs. CLOSE THE THREAD

mike adamle 06-16-2011 03:54 PM

Akira Taue & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Kenta Kobashi & Mitsuharu Misawa on June 9, 1995 for AJPW was probably the greatest match of all time

Can't wait for DVLH to see this thread. Queue a list of 40 answers for each promotion that ever existed.

mike adamle 06-16-2011 11:29 PM

I think the Chi-Town Rumble match between Flair and Steamboat was probably the best one they had and the best WCW match ever

Shisen Kopf 06-16-2011 11:42 PM

Huckster vs Nacho Man Rasslemania 12
