More Wrestling: Greatest Match

[VolFirebirds]

in keeping with the theme,

How about Greatest Matches? Links to vids (if available) will help the argument greatly.

My Favorite? the very First Hell in a Cell between HBK and Undertaker.

This one is better than the Taker/Foley version because that one turned into "let's try to kill foley, and see what happens". it is simply a bunch of HOLY S**T bumps.

This match told a hell of a story, gave the fans something they'd never seen in the WWF, and introduced Kane.

Also in the running? Steamboat/Savage, Angle/Lesnar, Flair/Steamboat, Flair/Sting (the very first one, which was a draw), and there are a TON of others.

this should be fun.

1. The Last Battle Of Georgia-Buzz Sawyer v. Tommy Rich in a steel cage in the Omni. Shawn Michaels readily admits this match was the inspiration for Hell In A Cell.
2. Starrcade I-Ric Flair defeats Harley Race. The match that signaled the beginning of the Flair Era.
3. Wrestlemania III-Randy Savage v. Rickey Steamboat. As many near falls as you will ever see. Two of the all time greats tore the roof off the Silverdome.
4. Ladder Match I-Shawn Michaels v. Razor Ramon. This one set the standard for all gimmick matches to follow.
5. Clash of the Champions-Flair v. Steamboat. Two masters at their best.
6. Famous Final Scene-The Heavenly Bodies v. the Rock 'n Roll Express. Smokey Mountain Wrestling at its finest.
7. ECW-Eddie Guerrero v. Dean Malenko. The greatest series of scientific matches of the last 25 years.
8. War Games I-The Four Horsemen & JJ Dillon vs. Dusty Rhodes, The Road Warriors & Paul Ellering, and Nikita Koloff. Star studded match with a revolutionary concept.
9. Starrcade-Flair v. Vader. The Nature Boy beats the invincible beast.
10. Wrestlemania at MSG-HHH v. Mick Foley-As brutal a match as you will ever see. Two guys who always put it on the line set the World's Most Famous Arena on fire.

Not much into pro wrestling, but the Bret Hart - Shawn Michaels "Ironman" match was very entertaining.

I think you mean the Street Fight at the Royal Rumble 2000 between HHH/Cactus, but Great match all the same. the buildup for that match was amazing.

"War games I" actually got me in trouble as a little kid--I rented it, my mom caught me watching what was ECW LONG before ECW with a TON of blood, and had to have all my future rentals pre-approved.
