Man it seems these 96 nominations will take a long long time. I am tempted to go to a top 100 matches website and select all the matches and start running this battle.

Should I go ahead with it?

 

[Retox]

should be WCW/ECW/WWE matches IMO

Could use


1889 Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair at WrestleWar
1992 Steamboat, Sting, Nikita Koloff, Barry Windham, & Dustin Rhodes vs. Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton & Larry Zbyszko at WrestleWar

or a Raven VS Dreamer match from ECW

Such a great match - Also one of the loudest mark out moments ever. A match that ended the supremacy of wCw imo


- Sorry if this has been posted

 

[Jono]

Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog - Summerslam 92

 

[Manee]

WWF Televised Raw

Mankind v Rock WWF heavyweight title

Sorry don't know the exact date but here is a link too:

Definately one of the biggest pops of all time and then the second biggest moments later. This was truly the stuff dreams were made of; the misfit Mankind beating the Rock when noone thought he would, to win the title for the first time.

 

[Jono]

Gotta love how Tony Schiovane spoiled it (under orders from Bischoff) whilst commentating live on Nitro, but it backfired and everyone watching Nitro changed the channel and watched Raw after they heard Mankind had won the belt.

Biggest case of karma if I've ever seen it.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah it was the great turning point between the Monday night wars.

As Manee pointed out, it really was the stuff of dreams and a classic event.

I always liked how the feud over the belt between Mankind and Rock was intertwined by the stable feud of DX and Corporation with Austin returning at the end. Great stuff.

 

[masterblaster]

Jono, do you follow wrestling much now a days mate? I know you've scaled back quite a bit, and I'm not sure how up to speed you are on the current product, but plenty of things have happened since then.

Chris Jericho returning and becoming World Heavyweight Champion, Edge becoming the WWE's main franchise player and Christian, Kurt Angle and Booker T all going to TNA.
