Favorite wrestling match of all time? -

[DiscipleOfTheLie]

I love Michaels v. Haitch v. Benoit at WM20.

Goldberg v. DDP at Halloween Havoc '98 was cool too. Not exactly a technical match, but those two dudes left it all in the ring that night. They were wore out.

But my all time favorite match has to be the one that has been mentioned already, and is always mentioned. This is one match, in my opinion, is what wrestling is all about. If someone asks me what's the deal with professional wrestling, I tell them to watch Steamboat v. Savage at WM3. It might seem like the cop-out answer, but nothing about that match is overrated.

^ All of WrestleMania III is pretty much awesome.

My favorite match is probably Eddie Guerrero vs. Brock Lesnar, not because it is the best match I've ever seen (although it is a very good match), but because it is when my favorite pro wrestler of all time finally won the WWE Championship.

I dunnow if it's my favorite of all time but I really enjoy Bryan/Orton/Batista from WM30. A great all-around match.

Hulk vs Andre is eternal.

Hulk vs Andre is eternal.

Nothing like that will ever happen again in wrestling. That was the biggest match of all time.

Sorry to necro the thread, but this ladder match between Christian and RVD for the Intercontinently Title aired my first night watching Monday Night Raw, and it got me hooked.

Was this the match where supposedly, Shawn Michaels over-sold on purpose as a big "Fuck You!" to The Hulkster?

the original La Parka comes back to AAA to battle the replacement La Parka for the right to be the TRUE and HONEST La Parka

This match turned me on to wrestling.

Austin v. Rock (Backlash 1999)

or Shield v. Wyatts/Evolution



or Savage v. Steamboat

I think Savage v. Steamboat is the best WWF/WWE match ever to have happened, so for those of us who have mainly been fans of American wrestling, I think that is sorta a given. Fun fact, George "the Animal" Steele and my Dad used to go to the same gym and would frequently swim together. He was a school teacher and coached football (I believe) at a local high school. Has to be weird seeing a guy who would eat turnbuckles standing in front of your class.

Fun fact: Apparently, Steele's students had no idea he wrestled at all during their off time from school, and any kids who *did* say "Gee, you look like that George "The Animal" Steele guy", he'd brush it off as just some random guy who looked like him.

This, according to one of Steele's shoot interviews, anyway.

Wow... My niece went to Madison about 15 years ago (the place he taught; yes I am that old). She's a huge wrestling sperg and she knew, but that's because she knew his name and has seen him before.

Kane was a substitute teacher for years, apparently.

It was a shit match but I was in 6th grade so whatever but my biggest markout moment was when Lex Lugar beat Hulk Hogan for the title (to lose it a week later at road wild lol)

my friends and I watched that shit together at our "nitro party" lol but holy shit we flipped the fuck out and were screaming and high fiving each other when luger had him in the torture rack.

Booker T and Chris Benoit had a best out of 7 matches that were really memorable.

I guess from an actual wrestling standpoint RVD vs. Jerry Lynn in ECW. I forgot the name of the PPV but they were both in their prime and amazing workers. Jerry Lynn's probably the most underrated wrestler who never really got a chance in the major feds.
