Matches to Watch

[Chrisksaint]

Got this idea from the "One Match" thread.

As a young kid I was big into WCW until it fell apart, not much WWE before that and took until about WM21 for me to get into WWE. Since then i've watched frequently off an on(taking a few months break every now and then over the past few years it seems), i've watched the 3/4 big PPVs every year, but i've never felt the urge to watch other matches before then besides when I got a No Way Out DVD once(one with Lesnar/Eddie title match) cause it's kinda like rewatching a sporting event to me just in the fact I may know who wins.

Now I have the urge to try to watch a lot of these matches I keep hearing about, so go ahead if anyone has them some great ones to see.

Re: Matches to Watch

Re: Matches to Watch

Trying to go for some less obvious ones here.

HHH/Batista Hell in a Cell Vengeance 2005
HBK/Angle Vengeance 2005 Wrestlemania 21 Re-Match (That entire PPV was stacked!)
Undertaker/Lesnar Hell in a Cell (No Mercy 2005 I think)
Ric Flair/Vince McMahon Royal Rumble 2002 Street Fight (Great Fun)
Umaga/Cena Last Man Standing 2007 Royal Rumble
Edge/Undertaker Wrestlemania 24 (Hugely Underrated Match)


I'll think of more Later.

Its on the Top 50 set.

That list is such a sham that I never even bothered to see what was all included on it. I guess I may just have to pick it up now, but one has to wonder why they never released that match until now?

Re: Matches to Watch

HBK/Hogan Summerlsam 05. Mainly for HBK's hilarious over-selling of Hulk's offense.

Kane/Undertaker Wrestlemania 14
Hbk/Austin Wrestlemania 14. To know afterwards how much pain Shawn was ACTUALLY in, it makes the match so much more powerful.
The Rock/HHH Ladder Match Summerslam 98'
HBK/Vince Wrestlemania 22

Re: Matches to Watch

Summerslam 2002: HHH vs HBK

No Way Out 2005 Undertaker vs Kurt Angle

Noticing a very heavy HBK trend in this thread, and for good reason haha.

I've read that Bret had creative control for what went on his dvd, so I'm guessing his dislike of Flair kept that match off it. One match I'd really like to see released on dvd is the Rock vs HHH Ironman from Judgment Day 2000.
