what is your favorite opening match from a WM
 
Not neccessarily the best, but your own personal fave. discuss.

Owen/Bret is the best. Personal favourite is probs JBL/Finlay just for JBL twatting Hornswoggle plus giving Finlay the the dirrrrrrrtiest looking lariat in the face for the finish. That and I'm a big mark for WM24 in general

drave 01-29-2013 04:17 PM

Owen/Bret I think told one of the best stories ever. I was honestly surprised they opened WM that year, but totally okay with it too!

Gotta agree with you too CSL - JBL is great. Honestly, I wish Rybakc would takes notes on how to do a proper lariat (from JBL that is), and give his actual "Meathook" some "hook".

HBK curtain jerked three years in a row and then went on to become Mr. Wrestlemania. #payedhisdues

Tazz Dan 01-29-2013 05:14 PM

Also Bret/Owen is the obvious answer isn't it.

Razzamajazz 01-29-2013 05:47 PM

sheamus and bryan, because of all the hilarious butthurt that ensued

Corporate CockSnogger 01-29-2013 05:53 PM

I can't remember what happened in the opening match of Raw, nevermind all those matches.

mike adamle 01-29-2013 05:54 PM

Owen/Bret in a landslide probably followed by the WM 23 MITB

XCaliber 01-29-2013 06:13 PM

As for pure wrestling matches Owen/Bret was the best and i'd give Jericho/Regal 2nd it just wasn't nearly as memorable.

Arrogance 01-29-2013 06:22 PM

I'm going with Owen/Bret for obvious reasons but I remember really enjoying JBL/Finlay. Really stiff brawl and was a great opening match. :y:

Mysterio vs. Hardy was pretty good.

Majunior 01-29-2013 07:13 PM

Like many, I went with WrestleMania X - Owen Hart v. Bret Hart.

'Mania X, IMO, top to bottom was an awesome show, and possibly the best Wrestlemania there has been if you look at it strictly from a story perspective. The way Owen finally "got out of Bret's shadow" to open the show, but at the end of the night with Bret winning the strap from Yoko, Owen had his moment snatched right away from him by Bret. Always Bret.

Classic, and damn good stuff.

Easiest question on the boards.

dronepool 01-29-2013 08:40 PM

Even though I'm a Bryan fan, I voted for Sheamus v. Daniel Bryan's 18 second surprise just because.

Nicky Fives 01-29-2013 09:41 PM

I have no idea how Owen/Bret cannot be the answer..... it is my favourite match PERIOD

KaosDarksol 01-29-2013 09:46 PM

Had to go with my personal favorite of cena and show for the us title. You know back then when no one hated cena because he rapped. Yea good times

Something about hearing that voice, LOD has always been my favorite tag team since I was a kid. Then you add Sunny to the mix.... great way to open the show.

Corndad 01-29-2013 10:12 PM

Owen/Bret is the obvious choice here but gotta give Micheal/Tatanka a shout out as well. Cena/Show probably would get a mention as well as it really was the "starting point" for Cena's rise

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-29-2013 10:12 PM

Owen and Bret and it's not even close and it shouldn't be close.
