Your Favorite Matches 

Post#1 » by Stanford » Thu Oct 6, 2011 10:03 pm

OF ALL TIME!

What are they? Which ones do you keep going back to? Don't just give me matches you like, or you've liked in the past, draw the line somewhere and give me the one(s) on top.


GOGOGO!

Ok. Mine are probably Nigel-Danielson unification, Styles-Joe-Daniels Unbreakable, Kobashi-Joe and both HBK-Taker WM matches.

Pretty much anything that has to do with Kurt Angle for me. But these are the ones that stand out to me.

IDK why, but for some reason Tazz vs. Shane Douglas for the ECW title was always one of my favorite matches.

6/3/94, obviously a great match! I was thinking about adding it, but I've only watched it all the way through once. Tremendous nonetheless.

I don't have a definitive favorite match. The closest one would be HBK - Taker, cause I'm factoring in watching it live and enjoying that moment, while most of the best matches I've seen have been on youtube in Japan and ROH.

So I'll just list ones that haven't been mentioned yet.

HBK - Flair (retirement match)
Rock - Hogan
Rock - Mankind (I quit match, my favorite hardcore match of all time)

AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels vs Samoa Joe

Bryan Danielson vs James Gibson - I don't even know what this was for, but it was on a Danielson DVD and it was friggen awesome. Wish they woulda let Jamie Noble show off his skills in WWE.
Samoa Joe vs CM Punk (2nd match)

Steamboat-Savage from WM3. Great match with great buildup.

I would love to see WWE start putting out dvd's detailing specific feuds instead of focusing all on the wrestler. This way we can see every match of that feud and the interviews/promos.

That's a great idea. You kind of already know the highlights of all the guys anyway; all we really know about the feuds are the matches that culminate, and maybe a few non-match highlights, especially with the late 80's, early 90s stuff.

Maybe they'll do something like that for the new network.

I forgot about steamboat-savage, add that to my wwe list.

As for the DVD idea, they're starting to do it. HBK-Hart is coming out. I believe Rock-Austin is next

Those feuds are big enough for a DVD, but I don't think Steamboat-Savage could ever cover one. That's why a show would be a good idea.

The Steamboat Savage one could do a DVD easily. They had matches leading up to the whole ring bell braking Steamboats larynx. They can show the promos in full and add in interviews that have been taped since. Even get some current wrestlers to talk about their thoughts leading up to the feud. You add in some house show matches and you could easily have 2 hours of stuff.

The more recent feuds, especially in the 90's would have a lot more stuff taped with the weekly shows and stuff.

I like hearing that a Hart/Michaels DVD is in the works. That's one of the best feuds ever, even if you don't bring in all the backstage politics and what-not.

Savage/Flair would be another one that would be awesome. Anyways, this is going OT from the original topic.

Another match that I loved was the Flair-Savage match at WM, I believe 6. What an unbelievable buildup with the whole Elizabeth pics that Flair had and Heenan/Perfect were involved.

Some other old matches, Bulldog/Bret Hart at Summerslam and when Piper won the IC title at Summerslam from Hart.
