A good match
 

<font color=goldenrod>Eh, I'm bored, so here's a question:

In your opinion, what does a match need for you to consider it a good match?</font>

Joey Abs.

GOLDBERG :shifty:

Blood
Two good entertainers
A good crowd
Nobody's group comes out and ruins the match

That's what a match needs to be good in my opinion

All you need is Kurt Angle, Benoit, Jericho or Eddie Guerrero and just like that you have a 3 star match

A good crowd helps a lot, cause its fun to see other people getting excited about it. I like a lot of in-ringpsyology; not necessarily the submission kind, but the selling kind. I like it when it really looks like the guy just got his shit ruined.

2 good workers who know how to wrestle

Decent crowd, not a huge crowd, just one that can understand what a good match is and react to it

and too be honest that should be it

Barbeque Sauce...a stunner...puppies...

Nope I think thats it...

I guess guys like Benoit, Angle, and Daniels wouldn't HURT the match, but skills are really a factor once you break it all down :shifty:

Those spots that make people go "Wow!" but force them to go "Wow!" again in succession. I love it wen that happens, mainly due to the crowd adding to the atmosphere of what's gonig on in and out of the ring.

Strong crowd reaction and a ...
Combination of high spots or moves in combinations never seen before and ring psychology.

1. 2 Above Average Workers (Angle, Benoit, Rock, HHH, etc)

2. A HOT CROWD

3. CRAZY SPOTS

4. Wrestlers kicking out of the other's finishing move

5. The match needs to be at least 20 minutes long

at least one good wrestler
15 minutes to 1 hour length
at least 3 high spots (note: high spot doesn't necessarily = powerbomb through table or something like that)
decent story telling
a little chain wrestling
multiple pin attempts

I'm not a very fussy guy. Since the title is "a good match", I will consider matches like Benoit/Angle to be "excellent" and not just "good". A recent good match was the 8 man elimination on Smackdown.

You don't think there's ever been a good match under 20 minutes? I can't think of anything to refute that off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are some somewhere. I guess I dunno if this topic is supposed to be 'good' matches or 'great matches'.

Anyway, as for me, I don't think there's a specific formula to a good match. I've been surprised by quite a few matches that I would've never thought I would get into. I remember watching Jindrak and Cade v. Hurricane and Rosey on Heat once, and for some reason, I was way into it. I thought it was a good match.

Now I'm babbling, so [/post]

Good Annoucing as well along with the crowd and good moves, as well as false finishes that will surprise the crowd.
