Best Wrestlemania Matches In History

Jeffage · #1 03-09-2005, 01:05 AM

In honor of IndieMatty's thread, I offer...the best matches in Wrestlemania history (bouts may be chosen for pure action or drama).

1) Michaels vs Ramon-Ladder Match (Wrestemania 10); Great action, great spots...totally original. Michaels sweepkicking the ladder into Razor's gut is a highlight. Great stuff.

2) Hogan vs Warrior (WM 6). Great action and greater drama. End of an error as Hogan takes one of his few clean defeats (though slightly marred by the ref bump when hogan would have won so he could save face).

3) Hitman vs Austin-I Quit Match (WM 13, I think). Classic bloodbath...great fight, great drama.

4) Savage vs Steamboat (WM 3). Great athleticism and non-stop, suspenseful near falls.

Honorable Mention: Hogan vs Andre (3), Hogan vs. Savage (5)

Discuss. I've been away for awhile but was a huge fan growing up and through college...I own the WM bible set and still pop them in from time to time. Great time going to matches with my father and friends growing up.

The match where King Kong Bundy squashed the midget.

This match created a radical change in wrestling. It easy revolutionary, especially for the WWF. It's an easy #1 choice for me.

Hogan/Warrior and it isn't even close. They were THE wrestlers of their time and are still 2 of the top 5 influential wrestlers of all time, along with the Taker, Michaels, and maybe Sting.

Jeff, your first two OOT threads have been lacking. BTW, wrestling sucks.

Hey you guys do know that wrestling is fake right?

Yea really. They might as well discuss the daytime soaps.

Bret Hart vs. Sean Michaels Iron Man match is easily my all time favorite match. I have it down loaded and still watch it several times a year. It also fueled one of the greatest feuds ever in wrestling history.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart I quit match is also right up there.

DAMN. I forgot about the Iron Man match. That is an all time classic...suspense all the way, though the Gorilla Monsoon Intervention was a bit cheesy. I know a draw would have pissed everyone off, but the hour elapsed...and that's it. BUT JEEZ WHAT A MATCHUP.

Another one often overlooked is Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper of WM 8. GREAT fight with Piper playing the semi-heel. Bret's accidental juicing (on a botched bulldog) heightened the drama.
