Gash or Gold - CSL Judges Your Favorite Wrestling Moments, Matches, and Memories!
It is quite simple. Post in this thread some of your favorite matches, moments, and memories. TPWW Icon, CSL, will then judge those moments and give them a rating of either GASH (aka dogshit) or GOLD (aka Triple H's Indian Deathlock).
I'll begin: Moments Triple H returns at MSG - 2001 Ric Flair's Promo on Triple H before their world title match - 2002 Matches Triple H vs Ric Flair (Late 2005 feud) Memories Crowbar winning the WCW Hardcore Championship (2000?) |

solid GOLD right here. First time Goldberg was really booked to his strengths on a big scale in WWE and it showed, built towards his entry into the match and when it happened, the crowd ate up every second of it. Few guys ever have been capable of drawing that kind of reaction by doing a few moves and looking at the crowd and old Billy showed he was one of them right here. Gotta credit Triple H and Flair as well, the cowardly heel stuff and Goldberg getting them anyway was the perfect payoff. They made a mistake not putting the belt on him however, was definitely "the right time" as opposed to a month later.

GOLD. Homeboy was the best wrestler on earth from pretty much the moment Austin had his surgery onwards, probably hasn't been a more credible heel world champion since with mayyybe the exception of Brock. Deserved every bit of the reaction he got.
Quote:
only one I remember off the top of my head is the PPV cage match. In which case it's gotta be GOLD. Always enjoyed Triple H and Flair against each other, simple matches with simple stories that pull the crowd in, perfect timing, Trips always going out of his way to make Flair look good and Flair being Flair. Flair went over clean and decisively (by cage match standards) in the one I'm thinking of too, which was a nice surprise. don't recall the specific match/finish etc, my brain has probably blocked a lot of WCW from around that time out as self preservation. But Crowbar was meh, Reno was meh (except Roll the Dice, which was immense) so I guess I'd have to go GASH. |

God, I loved this whole one-night storyline. Austin forced HHH to defend the title against a former world champion of his choice. HHH picks Flair and expects him to lay down. They have HBK and others talk to him. Flair then cuts this epic promo on HHH saying he is getting Flair's best tonight. Then, they put on an awesome match where I seriously thought Ric Flair was going to once again become the heavyweight champion of the world.

Seriously, Jim Ross being at his best and the storyline and the emotion of the whole night gets my heart racing just thinking about it. I still think they probably should have given Flair the belt that night.

Thought the cage match was awesome and that the last man standing match the next ppv was a 5 star classic

probably have to say GASH. As daft and sometimes entertaining the "Hawk being pissed up" stuff was, after seeing the Road Warriors doc piece and knowing he was going through a really shit time whilst doing it/it being a bit too close to home and then his death being an indirect result of his "demons", it's just a bit ugly. That and Droz was a bit shit. what's not to love about this? Ridiculous looking 400lb heel fatty in an old school-cut singlet (and no kneepads) does that daft "Earthquake bouncing around the ring" gimmick before squashing a blokes pet snake whilst everybody plays it dead serious. And the kids ate it all up. It's glorious, it's the original "Bossman feeds Al Snow his dog". GOLD. |

Match - Sting and Flair vs Muta and Funk in the Thunderdome - Still my all time favorite.
Moment - Buff Bagwell punches another in a long line of fake stings, only to have it be real sting. He then Drops Bagwell, takes of the Sting mask to reveal face paint, and clears the ring. Memory - Can barely remember the match, but was a somewhat early ECW match where Saturn drops and elbow off the scaffold in a scaffold match to a guy in the ring. Biggest fucking spot I ever saw at that point and was one of my first ECW memories. I remember just being shocked and trying to explain how amazing it was to my friends. Woke up every saturday at 7AM to watch ECW from then on. |

It's on the ECW - Extreme Evolution dvd Eliminators VS Terry Gordy & Steve Williams. (This was possibly the weakest match on this DVD but it has it's moments as Saturn does a great elbow drop from a board near the ceiling used in scaffold matches.Also Dr Death Steve Williams gets powerbombed on the concrete floor.The match is from High Incident in October 1996)*** |

![]() going to go with GASH. In spite of some incredible matches, he was blandblandbland when he first showed up. This said, he did have a spectacular few weeks, starting with the "hinting at a return to Bryan Danielson", his mini-feud with Michael Cole, complete with a great promo, a really believable intense segment where he kicked the shit out of him, Cole playing the heel foil etc (all GOLD) and of course culminating with the infamous debut of Nexus. And then he was promptly fired. After that it was pretty much a bunch of good to great matches and absolutely nothing else, even being outshone by Derrick Bateman in their segments together. tbf this stuff would have been fine for most people plodding along in the WWE midcard but we saw what was to come. From the second they started that slow build douchey OTT heel turn with him and tapping into solid GOLD with the Yes! stuff, he's been absolute dynamite and has exceeded surely even the most hardcore slobbering mutant of an ROH fan's expectations and is now one of the must-see acts in all of pro wrestling and for once, it's not just because of the quality of his matches. Compare that to his first "definition of vanilla midget" year-18 months, it's a shocking (and hugely welcome) transformation. |

match: 10 Man Tag Team match at Canadian Stampede '97. So much energy, so much story, just awesome.
Memory: Bret Harts profanity laced tirade on Raw after losing the title to Sid. Moment: Don't ask me why but Marc Mero fucking up his knee on a drop to the outside sticks with me. Very Willis MaGahee in the way it bent. Not a fan of Bret Hart but for whatever reason he is included in 2 of these |

don't recall this (and apparently it turns out it was Scott Putski) but I have no desire to see it, guys getting injured or even generally taking awkward looking bumps makes me cringe. Even if I knew what you meant and watched the match again, I'd turn away when that part came about. Definite GASH. |

I was never as big of a fan of this as anybody else. Love Flair, love Perfect, just feels like a really underwhelming exit for Flair and nothing was built on it for Hennig. But it was a different time back then, no PPV really close enough to build towards (I believe Flair wanted out asap so Mania was probs out of the question) The competitors and match itself definitely place it on the side of GOLD but it's not as overwhelming as anything involving these two should be. GOLD. If only for Hogan's twitchy leg sell. Not to mention the kids eating it up and those poor bastards that sent Hogan get well cards still receiving WWE catalogues in the mail. And the blow off match at Summerslam provided us with Hogan tearing Earl Hebner's shirt to pieces mid-match. That was different. |

I believe it was Scott Putski in a match with Brian Christopher at some PPV somewhere. In Your House or something.

Match: RVD and Sabu vs Hayabusa and Jinsei Shinzaki at Heatwave. Fav match ever.
Moment: Heyman tells A.P.A that only Simmons is fired and Bradshaw isn't. JBL begins. Memory: anybody remember an angle where Hugh Morrus's dad would all of a sudden walk down the aisle confused during his matches? |
