Sasha Banks (c) vs Bayley NXT Takeover: Brooklyn

Essential viewing for the potential of modern women's wrestling within the WWE.

 

[Mahonay]

92' man. Macho Man on top. Wins the title against Flair at Mania in an amazing match. The following year he's told he shouldn't wrestle any more, and is sent instead to blurt out incoherent nonsense on commentary.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Almost noon, and RAW still not on HULU.

Maybe they are trying to help me.

It's a sign from God, jmdajr.

 

[slightconfuse]

I'm not seeing you guys suggest enough WCW matches. Where is Data West? Gimme some Steamboat/Rude or something.

Oh, there are some great War Games matches...

Edit: Oh, and I'd argue that The Outsiders + THE THIRD MAN vs. Team WCW would have to be Required Viewing. Maybe Goldberg vs. Hogan? That reaction...

I'm realizing that Hogan is the greatest wrestler of all time, brother.

Great wargames, come on zach.

Flair vs Funk from Clash of the Champions 9 is my pick.

also the mainevent of when worlds collide

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Also we always talk about Bret vs. Austin at WM, but I've always also loved their earlier match at Survivor Series after bret returns from injury.

I love this match too. Probably prefer it because I haven't seen it a 100 times like the WM match.

 

[British Monsoon]

Dan Spivey dragging Luger to what's probably the best match of his career at WrestleWar '91.

 

[FlammableD]

 

[Zach]

My point was to highlight how flash in the ring does not make for a great match. Ric that evening showed it isn't a necessity at all. He came in, did the work, got out and did it masterfully. His performance, any performance, is all that matters.

Ah, yes.

Sasha Banks (c) vs Bayley NXT Takeover: Brooklyn

Yeah, dude.

 

[Zach]

Owen vs. Bret (Mania X).

 

[slightconfuse]

Owen vs. Bret (Mania X).

Owen vs Bret Summerslam 94!

 

[Raw64life]

I actually enjoyed Royal Rumble on SNES quite a bit as a kid despite it being an LJN game. Playing now though it is shallow as fuck and you can break the game with ease.

 

[Zach]

Great wargames, come on zach.

Flair vs Funk from Clash of the Champions 9 is my pick.

Pretty sure I loved WarGames '91 and '92. But I could be wrong.

Owen vs Bret Summerslam 94!

That might be superior. I'd have to look back at my Super Grades to see what I thought.

 

[slightconfuse]

Every Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome match

 

[Anth0ny]

My last post made me think: it'd be fun if we could somehow pull off a for realz WrassleGAF Required Viewing. I know it would be impossible with all of you kidders and nutters, but a man can dream.

Anyway, the aforementioned Bret vs. Austin (WrestleMania 13) would be on there. Hogan vs. Warrior (WrestleMania VI) also immediately comes to mind.

We've probably talked about this before...

The WrassleGAF required viewing starter deck:

Bret vs. Austin (Mania 13, aka the GOAT)
Shawn vs. Taker (Mania 25)
Shawn vs. Taker (HIAC 1997)
John Cena vs. CM Punk (MITB 2011)
Rock vs. Austin (Mania X7)
Rock vs. Hogan (Mania X8)
Mankind vs. Taker (KOTR 1998)
TLC 2 (Mania X7)

literally off the top of my head and nothing before 97 because I've barely even watched that stuff

Also, would stuff like Shawn vs. Bret (SS 1997) or Brock vs. Taker (WM30) count? Average/bad matches with historic finishes/endings. I want to say no.

 

[klonere]

.

when did Noam transition into his male model gimmick

 

[slightconfuse]

for must watch lucha matches

Atlantis vs Villaino 3(from good brother TM24

Villiano 3 vs Perrro aguayo Sr

 

[Toki767]

I used to really like Monday Night Raw on SNES as a kid. I liked how each character had some secret special move. Like Bam Bam being a torpedo or Yokozuna doing a canonball off the top causing an earthquake in the ring.

 

[Mahonay]

Every Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome match

I still don't understand how Tanaka is totally fine after those matches.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Has anyone gone back and watched that HBK/Cena match in the UK after their mania match? I remember that being pretty good.

I am partial to Undertaker/Kane at WM14, but it's just an above average match - the promo building behind it is astonishing though. Like a year of often great build.

I'm still bitter that Owen Hart shortened Stone Cold's career.

The crazier thing is that he reportedly never apologised. Maybe he couldn't face Austin.

 

[Bandini]

Owen vs Bret Summerslam 94!

I marked so hard at this match I wrote a letter to WWF magazine about it and they printed it

 

[Mahonay]

Lol. You need to scan that in and post it.

please show us

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Better than their mania match to me, and I loved their mania match.

 

[Bandini]

Lol, I think they printed it in late 94. Maybe I can find scans somewhere online

 

[Mahonay]

I'm still bitter that Owen Hart shortened Stone Cold's career.

I liked Owen a lot back then. I thought it was hilarious at the time just because of how tasteless it is.

you guys think Orton and Big Show discuss vape rigs together?

Of course they do.

Vape Rig on a pole match??

 

[Sibersk Esto]

"The Vaper" Randy Orton

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Vape Rig on a pole match??

quick, someone call russo

 

[JavyOO7]

WCW matches to watch... two come to mind....

Fall Brawl '95 - Pillman vs Johnny B Badd
Halloween Havok '94 - Bagwell/Patriot vs Orndroff/Roma

 

[Sephzilla]

"The Vaper" Randy Orton

LOL

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

I think I'm off the Ambrose train for a while after last night's match. Dude looked pretty bad out there, and even a fun promo afterward didn't wash the bad taste away.

[avengers23]

Vaping's a step up from smoking tobacco cigarettes on the way to the ring, right?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

How I miss him

The APA gimmick was rough on Bradshaw

 

[Mahonay]

He's looked bad in the ring for about a year now.

 

[slightconfuse]

2015 Glacier would be "Vaper".

SMOKE RUNS COLD!

 

[Anth0ny]

don't worry, he'll be back into forgettable midcard nothingness after this sunday

 

[sf2fanatic]

Sad to see Cesaro lose last night. It was actually a great match. Also Del Rio wrestling 3 times at SS? Or they giving him a free pass on defending US title

 

[Raw64life]

Ambrose problem is that his gimmick is being an unhinged maniac but he might be the softest worker on the entire roster. He used to do deathmatches for crying out loud. He should be brutalizing people not making it look like his fists are made out of pillows.

 

[avengers23]

Sweet Baby Jesus, please spare us from watching three shitty Alberto Del Rio matches in one night.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Even WWE themselves say that '92 is the best Royal Rumble of all time.

It was the last one that was magic that for sure.
