The Best Match of this Wrestler......

[jpchicago23]

Ok this is a little game that I thought of on another board a few years back that basically defines certain wrestlers best matches as well as opening up peoples eyes to other matches they might not have known about. The way it works is the first person would name a wrestler and what they think their best match is. Then people reply with what they think until there are 3 replies with the same match, on that third and deciding reply that person would then name a different wrestler and continue the chain. We could do 5 replies of the same match but that might take forever with such differing opinions.

 

 

I'll start it off with Terry Funk and say his match against Flair at Clash 89. Now as soon as there are 3 replies with the same match, that last person throws another name out there

Terry Funk vs. Ric Flair Great American Bash 1989

[WingedEagle]

Funk vs. Flair, GAB '89.

[jpchicago23]

Ok so if another person voted for GAB 89 that person has to think of another wrestler and name a match. On another board a lot of people got confused about the concept but i dont think we'll have that problem here

[soup23]

I am sort of confused does it have to be the same match or just the same two opponents? I perfer the Bash match to the Clash one myself.

It's supposed to be whatever you think is Terry Funk's best match. So if you think the Bash match w/Flair is his best match, that'd be your answer.

Correct. Its whatever your favorite is... it can be completely different from anyone elses its just that when there are 3 alike answers that third person changes the wrestler.

06/11/76 Terry Funk v. Jumbo Tsuruta

[Jimmy Redman]

Terry Funk vs Ric Flair, GAB 1989, and we have a winner.

 

I shall throw up Stan Hansen, and Hansen vs Andre, NJ 23/9/81.

[soup23]

Hansen vs. Kobashi 7/29/93

[World's Worst Man]

I'll second Hansen vs. Kobashi 7/29/93

[WingedEagle]

Hansen vs. Funk, 4/14/83.

[jdw]

Hansen vs. Kobashi 7/29/93.

 

Looks like third in.

 

Okay... Antonio Inoki, which should get some variance. And no cheating by claiming a long series of singles matches combined into being more than a singles match.

 

07/27/78 Antonio Inoki vs Bob Backlund

[jpchicago23]

The 96 Vader match. I think it was 96 right? With the sick suplex

[jdw]

That would be 01/04/96

[jkc31]

I liked the 4/16/80 match against Backlund from Miami Beach

[soup23]

Ill second the 7/27/78 one hour draw vs. Backlund

[Ditch]

vs Murdoch 6/19/86

[Yo-Yo's Roomie]

Inoki/Fujinami/Ueda/Hoshino/Kimura Vs Maeda/Takada/Fujiwara/Yamazaki/Kido (3/26/86)

[ohtani's jacket]

Antonio inoki vs the lions.

[Childs]

Inoki vs. Fujiwara 2/6/86

[World's Worst Man]

I will second that 10-man from 3/26/86

[WingedEagle]

This needs to be revived. I have to go Inoki vs. Vader 1/4/96 as I haven't seen the 80s NJ set so I'm probably missing most of his best work.

[jpchicago23]

Yea that's the same reason I picked the vader match even though I have the NJ set, I just haven't gotten to it

[Ditch]

I was wondering if Inoki would kill this. Which IMO shows how overrated he is; very few matches where Inoki is blow-away great.
