I HATE the Bret/HBK iron man match, it’s fucking dull, I don’t know why it gets all the rave reviews, I think it pisses all over wrestling as a whole, by showing that most matches around that time would be done within 15 minutes, yet we are supposed to suspend our dis-belief and think that both these guys can go an hour and not be pinned, yet in matches other matches these guys have had with other folks they have won and lost within much faster times.
An Iron man match IMO should be built around the drama of the number of falls, I voted for HHH/Rock, because that one was the first one to properly build the drama into it, with Rocky chasing the pin falls towards the end.
The Mania 12 one didn’t have any of that, I would of preferred it a lot more if they just had a normal match that went an hour, it would of meant more than having an Iron man match with no fin falls, which made the stipulation pointless as they had to use the overtime to settle it.
The Brock/Angle one was done very well and used great story telling with Brock getting DQ’s on purpose, so he could injure Angle and get some cheap wins back. That was good psychology
I can’t remember the quality of the other ones, which indicates they probably weren’t all that.
So yeah, that’s my opinion
