If you had to choose 3 matches....

I saw this question on the Facebook and thought it would be interesting to see how everyone on here would answer. Lets say you have a complete "wrestling virgin" (they had never seen professional wrestling before) and they asked you to show them "what is so great about wrestling". You have access to every match throughout history, which 3 matches would you show that person to "win them over"?

The first one I'd show would be the most 80s Hogan vs Monster match I could find. Hulk Hogan vs Bundy or Earthquake or Andre. Basically, gigantic men, crowd going insane for Hogan, no sell, punch, big boot, leg drop and the all American good guy triumphs over the big, mean, ugly bad guy.

Second would be almost the complete opposite, a match from mid 90s (before he was unmasked) between Rey Mysterio vs either Benoit or Malenko. Where the Hogan match was the "spectacle", this is high work rate aspect of pro wrestling. Rey in his prime flying around the ring against the crisp, sharp technique of Benoit or Malenko.

Third match would just be a "personal favorite" from the Modern Era, and it would be Brock vs either AJ or Bryan from the past two Survivor Series. The cocky, MMA fighter vs the undersized opponent. Honestly..... if they can't enjoy Brock bouncing AJ's head off the mat like a basketball or Bryan just repeatedly Soccer kicking Brock's face, I don't think anything can win them over
