Austin v Hart personifies everything that wrestling should be all about. Kind of match that gives you goosebumps and and put you on the edge of your seat.

Hart v Hennig at SS is a great match

Hogan v Rock was a spectacle at WM 18

Kenta Kobashi v Kensuke Sasake in Noah a couple of years ago was a fucking epic match. Infact anything with those 2 or also Misawa too.

Flair v Steamboat at Chi Town Rumble was great.

Goldberg v DDP at halloween Havok 98 was a great match.

Gonna stop there or I will be here all night lol.

many as kis ,i mentioned other thread snuka muraco cage match ,snuka dives from atop cage to muraco then places belt on chest,muraco actually crawled to win and then snuka brought him back,also snuka against backlund ,snukA again top cage but backlund rolls over and wins .superstar graham with kung fu shaved head persona lumberjack match against backlund,backlund in prime graham was old i recently saw it and graham has bad hip by then and heavier body but still good arms,any way backlund revenge match due to graham destroying old belt ,backlund uses chicken wing for win and graham said he did not submit he was choked .how about ultimate warrior rick rude feud that was good too.

Every main event with HBK. Look forward to Hell in a Cell II with Undertaker/Show stopper.

I saw it live. I didn't enjoy it one bit. Perfect had short hair, wore blue, wrestled sloppy, and the Hitman abused him by ripping off his singlet. Perfect was better then that and deserved better then that. I only saw it that night and will never watch that match again. Best match on the card was the Nasties vs. Lod. Also the Mountie going to jail was pretty funny.

Hitman vs. HBK in the Ironman match. Great build up. The slammy's the night before. Shawns entrance. Shawn getting caught in the sharp shooter, again! The overtime. The kick heard around the world. Then Shawns emotional victory celebration. I can never get sick of that match.

Some really great intense matches were between Kevin Sullivan and Chris Benoit.

A match that I caught on Nitro one night between Finley and Regal was incredible. They were wrestling outside and a car was involved. If anybody has a video of it, I would appreciate it.

I seriously think you should consider watching that match, technically brilliant with 2 premier wrestlers complimenting each other for the duration. The only thing Perfect was better than at that point in his career was the Coach - Heenan was brilliant but him???

Remember that he was badly hurt at that point in his career with a bad back, and the only reason he did the match was because it was for Bret's push (they geniunely liked each other). The fact he performed to that level and was happy enough to put Bret over speaks volumes for just how good he was overall - the complete package of size, speed, athleticism & heart.

Snuka vs Albano, Muroco, Piper, Backlund-all classic

Tommy Rich vs. Buzz Sawyer-all were great.

Flair vs. Steamboat-Night of Champions 1984

Few more I can't think of now.

Easy question, easy answer....

Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat

The Showstoppa · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2011, 05:11:46 AM »

All great mentions Playboy and Fallsview...

Mine:
Flair vs Steamboat....both the old mid-atlantic stuff and then the WCW.
Snuka vs Muraco when Snuka missed the dive off the top of the cage.
Road Warriors vs Midnight Express in the "night of the skywalkers" wasn't a great match, but innovative and great hype for it.
Magnum TA vs Nikita series.....awesome matches and storyline.
Flair vs Race when he regained the title at Starcade.
Steamboat vs Savage....WM......classi c.

Playboy · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2011, 06:20:26 AM »

Add:

Bulldogs vs the Hart Foundation
Savage vs Steamboat WM3
Savage vs Flair WM8
Savage vs Hogan WM5 (one of Hogan's better matches)

Michaels-Undertaker, WrestleMania 25: I watched it at a rec center. The crowd was hyped. About half the fans really thought Michaels was going to end the streak!!

Hogan-Andre, WrestleMania 3: Enough said!!!

Angle-Orton-Mysterio, WrestleMania 26: Suplexes galore!!

Rock-Brock, SummerSlam 2002!! Terrific!!

And here's a throwback...

Austin-Vega, Carribean Strap Match: In Your House - Beware of Dog 2

The HBK/Hall ladder match was great.
Since then, there have been bigger and better...but, I think that one - being the first - really cemented its legacy.

I know that it gave Bret a red ass seeing his idea played out with him out of the loop; especially after he made Vince promise not to do that match with anyone else.
Does anyone have footage of the Stampede ladder matches between Bret & Dynamite?
