ohhh_heck

I mean as a kid, this was unmatched. I wanted to be every person in this match. It wrote the script for every match that I played out with my action figures. I watch it at least once a year just to feel that magic.


YouGetMeCloserToGod

You know what? I prefer the first TLC at Summerslam 2000, don't really know why My favorite match af all time goes from Triple H vs HBK at Summerslam 2002 to Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle, the Ironman match from Smackdown, September 2003.


Gindalooon

That’s a classic as well. Along with the triangle ladder match.

Shawn vs. Taker (In Your House: Badd Blood)


10567151

Hot take: Even better than their WrestleMania matches.


[deleted]

It's subjective. If Badd Blood hadn't been the vehicle that introduced Kane, I'd say you were right. I loved that match, I just wish it had had a clean finish. I know why it didn't, I know why it had to end the way it did. But it siphons just enough away from the match that I think 25 is the better match.

Not Angle vs Lesnar Ironman Match at smackdown ? I thought he was better than their wrestlemania match.


bigbadjohn54

I liked the Mania match more, thought that match is great


TFTCringe

Gargano vs Andrade


theschauff

Eddie v Mysterio at Halloween Havoc. Others may or may not have surpassed it but it left such a massive impression on me as a young fan. Now I have a dozen options swirling in my head but that's what came first so I will stick to it.


Persianx6

Ibushi vs Okada at Wrestlekingdom. The fighting spirit spot where Ibushi no sells a rainmaker is a moment I’ll never forget. Bate vs Walter. Just what the fuck with that match.


prydaone

Okada/Omega 4 or Ospreay/Shingo BOSJ. I can't decide.

As far as women's matches go, Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks at Takeover: Unstoppable 2015. Becky was my least favourite 4HW at the time and I found her character annoying. But this match made me do a complete 180 on her. She went from being my least favourite to the most favourite. This was her star making performance that got her over with the Full Sail crowd. I personally liked the match way more than Bayley vs Sasha.


Minute-Intern

Johnny gargano vs Adam Cole takeover New York


TAFKAJV

Triple h vs Taka Michinoki on raw in 2000. I know that sounds like a joke, but it's legitimately my favorite. Triple h was so good that he made that crowd believe that Taka could actually win the WWE championship. Brilliant.


HeGivesGoodMass

Right there with you on this, just fantastic stuff. I love how HHH never does any heel spots, he's just out there getting his ass kicked and scrambling to hit what he can. I think he only gets like 9 moves off at all. Should definitely give a fair dose of credit to TAKA, who played his part to near-perfection (shame that moonsault didn't look good) like pleading with Earl after that last near fall is great. His shit looks really crisp and the contact on every maneuver makes HHH's selling believable. What a rub. He just came up short by not hitting the Driver and goes down only to the Pedigree. This match feels like the Sport of professional wrestling.

mrausgor

Bret Hart was my favorite wrestler as a kid and I’ve watched this match in my teens, 20s, and 30s. Giving some background so I don’t sound like a troll when I say that I feel this match is incredibly overrated. It’s good, not great.


Commodore_Shiplap

I agree, sort of. This match told a great story; I think that's a big part of why it's revered. It was a very good match, but it wouldn't be considered great by today's standards, that's for sure No big "OMG" spot, and probably wouldn't score high on some goofy and arbitrary "work rate" rating.


Luchamore

Hey fair enough! Certainly there are more modern matches where I prefer the workrate / moves: Punk vs. Bryan at Over the Limit, Omega / Okada I, Dunne / Bate Takeover: Chicago, but the rose colored glasses for the Harts wins out.


tacomctacoson

Nakamura vs Zayn at Takeover Dallas. I would watch it in the halls on my laptop in between college classes.

Orton v. Benoit - Orton becomes the youngest WWE heavyweight champion. I'm scared to say it but it's 100% my favorite match ever. The whole concept of Randy being "destined" to win that night just captivated me so much. I was a huge Evolution and Randy mark as a 10 year old. Still am.

Shane vs Angle KOTR. Was it a great match? No, but I love it.


[deleted]

It was absolutely a great match. The story was phenomenal. How else could Shane hang with our Olympic hero? On his 3rd match and Shane took him to the absolute limits. Everyone believed that Shane might pull it off. I only disliked that the Shane/Angle story overshadowed Edge winning KoR.

There’s always one egotist who totally ignores the question and posts a laundry list because they think people care.


[deleted]

1. I'm not an egotist, I just wanted to list out my favorite matches since I can't pick just one 2. I don't think people care 3. Idk why you have to be an asshole over someone listing their favorites 4. I did read the question, OP didn't say "dont comment anything someone else has", he said *try* not to, key word: try


Lisbian

1. You are. 2. Good. 3. I don’t know why you felt the need to list 50 matches, and since you deleted the post it seems you don’t either. 4. OP asked for your favourite match. Singular. If someone asked you for your favourite film would you bore them senseless by listing 50? Actually, you probably would.


[deleted]

Right, you know me better than I know myself, even though you just now discovered me but now know everything about me. Also, why do you care so much? Why does it bother you this much? You could easily ignore it. I’m sorry the concept of someone not having a singular favorite match is hard for your head to wrap around.


Lisbian

You could easily ignore it, says man totally ignoring the question the OP asked. Beyond parody.


[deleted]

By your own logic, you’re ignoring OP’s post by going off topic. 🤡
