Can someone recommend an example of a match that someone like Jim Cornette really likes?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cornette likes all sorts of stuff. I know you're just asking for guys like Cornette, but he did a list of his five star matches. One from the WWF that made it was Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13.

He likes a lot more "exotic" stuff than people realize too. He's never been too crash hot on lucha libre, but he used to collect all the tapes from Japan until that kind of went belly-up in the 90's. Loved seeing the biggest stars from around the world go there and have matches you just couldn't see in the US.

He also really loved Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid. Another of his five star matches. I think it's worth bringing up because it's got "flippy stuff," but Cornette likes it because it's more like their fighting style and not a choreographed dance routine.

It's all about psychology and logic with Cornette. If you could do it in a fight, Corny would approve. If it requires you standing around waiting for a guy to jump on you with your arms outstretched so he doesn't hurt his head, then you've probably made some philosophical errors somewhere.

Very true on Dynamite/Tiger Mask matches... They do so much of the floppy stuff that we see today but they do it HARD with intention to get a pin. If you haven't, please type in Dynamite vs Tiger Mask ... There are so many and I've never seen a bad one but I loved Tigers first match at MSG. Commentary is blown away by everything they do.
