I Was Somewhat Bored So I Made A Wrestling List #2
Said I'd probably do another one of these SPECTACULARLY SUCCESSFUL threads at some point. The order of business for this one: Best Pairings. As in 2 guys that get put together in any circumstances and usually come up with excellence in the ring. I picked 7 because I wanted to pick 7.
Based off of personal preference and knocked it out in like 15/20 minutes so I'm bound to be missing some I like more etc so point them/your own out, tell me why I have great/awful taste, why I'm right/wrong/ordered incorrectly etc (just put any vids under spoiler tags so the thread doesn't make some people's computers explode) etc etc. DISCLAIMER: Wasn't actually bored here, was going to make a thread about best pairings anyway so figured I'd do it this way signature [sig-nuh-cher, -choor]

Great list. Shawn vs. Anyone yes, but if I had to go with one person, I would go with Bret Hart. The real life heat made the jump to TV/Promos and just added to their already awesome in-ring chemistry.
I always thought Edge/Cena was a good/underrated pairing. If we're going old school, Dusty Rhodes/Flair was the shit. (I was really young and most people here probably weren't alive, but go be a student of the game if you haven't already.) |

almost went with Cena/Edge at #7 but the February RAW match with Cena/Punk basically "solidified" it for me

Could make a case for Austin/Rocky but Bret/Austin is probably the right choice for him. Overall I love the list, especially the inclusion of RVD/Jerry Lynn. Looked forward to everyone of their matches. Even the one in TNA 2 years or so ago, when RVD was flagging, showed what great chemistry they had.

Cena/Umaga and Orton/Mark Henry were "surprisingly" great pairings.

Also, despite it being yonks since i saw the matches (so I dunno it could just be the kid in me talking), Triple H/Foley for me is one of the best pairings.

Great list.
I'd be tempted to do bret/mr perfect over bret/austin though |

I should have said "two picks" for Ric Flair pairings and neither is Steamboat.

If I had to go with one guy for HBK, I think I might go with Taker or Jericho.

Agree with #1. I'd even throw in Dean Malenko in there with them.

I always liked Orton and Triple H together until the Mania 25 main event. Before that, it seemed every match they had was really hot, I remember a random RAW match from around 2006ish and the crowd just ate up everything. Orton/Christian was something tho, especially given it was essentially all either guy did for 3-4 months and they kept it interesting, which is pretty much the ultimate challenge. |

Great list, more things on the forum like this please!
Austin/Bret is a great choice, that Survivor Series 96 match never seems to get talked about but it's fucking brilliant. Y2J/Rey is a great pick for number 1 just for the sheer volume of matches they had together, and it's good to see Rey get some props for his in ring work as well. |

For some reason, i thought this would be for random wrestlers thrown together in to a tag team. My bad.
