What Match do u think is underated or don't get a lot of credit?
 
What match do you love that nobody really talks about or overlooks? for me I loved the Steamboat/Douglas vs Hollywood Blondes matches in WCW I wished they had put one as a extra on the SC truth DVD.

Mr. Nerfect 07-31-2004 11:41 PM

Any Val Venis match. :y:

Looking back on them (just watched the DVD), Regal/Y2J at WMX7 and Raven/Big Show/Kane from the same event made me respect the guys even more. :y:

Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne vs The Nasty Boys in a hardcore match at Spring Stampede (I believe)

Rey Mysterio vs Billy Kidman at WCW World War 3. It featured some good cruiserweight action across multiple rings. Not something you get to see every day.

Val Venis is indeed underrated. He's a very solid wrestler... and I believe his match with D'Lo (who was the heel but was getting cheers from the NY crowd eventually) at SummerSlam 98 was one of his top moments, as was his cage match with Rikishi.

Agreed. Whenever he hits the Money Shot in a match I get all excited because it usually means he's not jobbing. :love:

Benoit/Malenko vs Saturn/Raven - Spring Stampede 1999

Jeff Jarret vs DDP, Triple Cage, Slamboree 2000 I think

I think David Arquette was in there aswell, but I didnt really remember him. All he was doing was looking up at Page and Jarret.

Chris Benoit vs. Steve Austin for the WWF Championship on...Smackdown!, right?

Anyways, this was an awesome match, with Steve as the heel. They kept flipping and reversing and exchanging sharpshooters, it was a great mark out moment that nobody seems to remember.

CSL 08-01-2004 02:01 AM

<font color=white>The Taylor Made Man vs. Tom Zenk (WCW Worldwide) :D

No kidding, saw this the other day and it was solid!

Wasn't exactly Angle/Benoit or anything but I enjoyed it...

Was this the same match that Benoit gave Austin 10 german suplexes?

I actually liked the first Benoit/Austin match, right after Austin's return in late 2000. Earlier in the night, Benoit was basically saying that Austin was an inferior worker, and only brawled because he couldn't wrestle. So for most of the match, Austin out-wrestled Benoit again and again, and Benoit ended up resorting to punch-kick tactics instead.

Not exactly a classic, and Benoit did kind of look like a chump in it, but it told the story well, and Austin got to showcase his technical moveset that he hadn't used in a long while.

Austin and Benoit had two classic matches on back to back shows. It's too bad Benoit didn't get at least one victory out of it but oh well. Incidently I have both matches. Plus the one you're talking about Nowhere Man, and actually another one from SD in 02. Benoit really brought the best out Austin in his later days.

Wildcat789 08-01-2004 10:02 AM

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle in a steel cage on Raw. That match was great, IMO.

Chavo vs. Mysterio for the CW belt at Judgment Day. Probably the best match of that night.

Cena v. Rene Dupree lumberjack match on Smackdown was pretty cool too.

Is that one of the matches when Malenko does that top rope backbreaker move?

Scott Hall vs Chris Benoit during the world title tournament in WCW (It was the tournament where Bret Hart ended up beating Benoit in the finals at WCW Mayhem.) Incredible match, the only thing that tainted it was a run-in at the end by Sid. Scott Hall is one guy who I think is really underrated. He's had tons of personal problems, but the man has, & still can, put on phenomenal matches if he applies himself.

Boondock Saint 08-01-2004 02:26 PM

The already mentioned Benoit/Austin match(es)

Austin/Angle Summerslam 01. Pretty kick ass match.

Angle/Benoit WMX7

Angle/Benoit Ultimate Submission Match Backlash 01. Not sure of the event because I haven't seen it in a long time but it was good stuff.

The Scotty/Malenko match.

The final of the Smackdown Tag Team Tournament that Stephanie set up.

Rey/Edge vs Angle/Benoit

I often look back on this match and wonder why matches like it don't take place every week.

RVD V Eddie Guererro Backlash 2002
Road Dogg V Shamrock V Val Venis V Goldust WMXV
HHH V Jeff Jarrett Capital Carnage 98
Rey Mysterio V Tajiri (numerous times on SD) but the 1st match was good

Yeah I know there are better ones like Dorkchop said, but these are the ones that spring to mind (probably because i have these events on VHS)

not to mention Benoit's 10 Germans on Austin

Cruiserweight 3:16 08-01-2004 06:41 PM

Wasn't the match involving the 10 German suplexes won by Benoit??? I could've sworn that Benoit won that match by pinfall as it was a non-title match, but the match that they had on Raw that week was won by Austin a-la screwjob replay as it was for the title

Cruiserweight 3:16 08-01-2004 06:44 PM

Austin v Angle on Smackdown in January 2002 ( the week where HHH made his comeback) is a match that seems to be forgotten about. That match was really good, was so much better than the Vengeance match they had, and is my favourite between them.

I'm pretty sure it was the Smackdown match that Austin won. But he made Benoit look like $$$ because as I recall it was in Edmonton (Benoit's hometown)

I'm pretty sure that Austin jobbed in that match because it was a non-title match and there was no way Austin was booked to beat him twice that week.
I think you're right though about it being in Edmonton... so if a wrestler is booked in their hometown then usually they are booked to win.

Whats really funny is i don't remember Rey/Chavo at all at a Judgement Day.I think you have your PPV's mixed up.

Ol Dirty Dastard 08-01-2004 07:43 PM

Austin won via cheap pinfall but Benoit looked awesome.

It may have been at Great American Bash. I mix those PPV's up because they were both pretty poor.
