Wrestler/Match Recommendations

With the current WWE tag team division being in dire straits at the moment I thought I'd recommend some tag team matches from a time when things were better.


WWF Tag Team championship match
Demolition ( c ) vs The Hart Foundation(WWF Summerslam,18/08/88)

The Fabulous Rougeaus vs The British Bulldogs(WWF Summerslam,18/08/88)

WWF Tag Team Championship match(2 out of 3 falls)
Demolition ( c ) vs The Brain Busters(WWF SNME,25/07/89)

The Rockers vs The Barbarian and Haku(WWF WM7,24/03/91)

WWF Tag Team Championship match

Some more exciting match recommendations :

Ric Flair vs Terry Funk(WCW The Great American Bash,(23/07/89)

Chris Jericho vs Ultimo Dragon(Wrestle Association R,(07/07/95)

Chris Jericho vs Too Cold Scorpio(ECW The Doctor Is In,(03/08/96)

The Big Show ( c ) vs Kurt Angle,(WWE Armageddon,(15/12/02)

Once again I find myself mostly disinterested in the current product so I thought I'd recommend some more exciting matches from the past from various promotions :

No Holds Barred Match for The WWF Title
Stone Cold Steve Austin ( c ) vs The Undertaker(WWE Judgement Day(20/05/01)

I.C Title Match
Jeff Hardy ( c ) vs Chris Jericho(WWE RAW,25/02/08)

Kurt Angle vs Christian Cage(TNA Impact, 21/02/08)

Dory funk Jr and Osamu Nishimura vs Genichiro Tenryu and Masa Fuchi(AJPW,01/03/08)

I've been off work lately and making the most of a mates network login by watching all pay per views starting from 2000 and am currently up to about midway through 2002. I started getting slowed down at the start of the 2002 ones when I realised there were old raw episodes on there as well and have started watching them too in order between ppvs.

Needless intro over, the point I would like to make is I've just come past the point of Brock Lesnars introduction to WWF and thought it was interesting to see that time again, given his last match lasted, was it about a minute and a half? He initially began just ruffling feathers of people in matches and such but went on to feud with the hardy boys, with Paul heyman employing some pretty dirty (possibly in a good way ?) tactics involving litas thongs at one point. The match I would recommend is Brock vs Jeff Hardy at Backlash 2002. Not necessarily a classic but just an interesting watch given the seedy build up with heyman, the fact lesnar was still up and coming and if anything was actually a beast and he's dominating style mixed with Jeff's rag doll like sells just made for good viewing.

After yet another let down of a WWE ppv,once again find myself watching events and matches from days gone by.Here are a few more recommendations :

US Title Match WCW Nitro(06/07/98)
Goldberg ( c ) vs Scott Hall

WCW Heavyweight Title Match WCW Nitro(06/07/98)
Hollywood Hogan ( c ) vs Goldberg

Elimination Chamber Match for World Heavyweight Championship
WWE Summerslam(24/08/03)
Goldberg vs triple H ( c ) vs Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels vs Kevin Nash vs Chris Jericho(great match until the finish,which was a total insult)

AJPW Junior heavyweight Title match(01/03/03)
Katsuhiko Nakajima ( c ) vs Silver King

ROH(05/09/05)
AJ Styles vs Jimmy Rave

ROH Vendetta II(28/06/08)
Claudio Castagnoli vs Bryan Danielson

Some more exciting matches I recommend :

WWE Tag Team title match
Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas( c ) vs Eddie & Chavo Guerrero(WWE RAW,16/09/03)

Iron Man Match for the WWE Title
Brock Lesnar( c )vs Kurt Angle(WWE RAW,16/09/03)

Lance Storm & RVD vs Chris Jericho & Christian(WWE RAW,06/10/03)

Petey Williams vs Puma(ECWA Super 8 Tournament,09/04/05)

With it being common knowledge that Kurt Angle will be inducted into the WWE HOF this year and that he has requested that Stone Cold Steve Austin be the man to induct him,I recommend a few of his lesser known matches against or involving the rattlesnake.

Kurt Angle( c ) vs Stone Cold Steve Austin(WWE RAW,08/01/01)

1995 - Shawn Micheals
1997 - Steve Austin
2000 - The Rock
2002 - Triple H
2010 - Edge.

92 ric flair - real world champion

^^
Good recommendations there guys.

I'd like to add the 1992,1998 and 2001 Rumble events as my recommendations.I think the '92 match still stands as the greatest ever.The undercard wasn't up to much but the Rumble itself was just excellent.The commentary from Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan perfectly complimented Ric Flair's career best performance.In '98 the build up around Stone Cold being a marked man was excellent and 2001 saw Kane put in a superb iron man effort only to be eliminated by Stone Cold,who had to come in later than planned due to a knee injury and take the popular win.
