Grimmas Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Parv had this idea on the last AJ Excite Series and I thought it was pretty neat. So, here is a thread to list your 5 and 4 3/4 star matches. You can come back and edit as you discover more. It will be neat to see what people have as bench marks and what trends come out of this.

DMJ Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've only been rating matches since getting the Network last year, so, this is definitely not a very accurate picture of everything I've seen (and also one that, like anyone's list, is purely subjective), but here goes, straight from my database: ***** The Rock vs. Steve Austin (WrestleMania XIX) War Games Match (WrestleWar 92) Sting vs. Vader (Starrcade 92) The Dudleys vs. Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boys (WrestleMania XVII) The Rock vs. Steve Austin (WrestleMania XVII) ****1/2 (I don't do quarter stars in my database) Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle (WrestleMania XIX) Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns vs. Triple H, Orton, and Batista (Extreme Rules 2014) Vader vs. Koloff (H. Havoc 92) Vader vs. Sting (Gr. Amer. Bash 92) Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude (SuperBrawl II) Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat (Spring Stampede 94’) Dustin Rhodes vs. Bunkhouse Buck (Spring Stampede 94’) Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. The Nasty Boys (Spring Stampede 94’) Cactus Jack & Kevin Sullivan vs. The Nasty Boys (Slamboree 94’) Austin vs. Steamboat (Bash at the Beach 94’) Triple H vs. Austin (No Way Out 2001) (3 Stages of Hell) Triple H vs. Undertaker (WrestleMania XVII) Sting vs. Vader (Fall Brawl 94’) Cena vs. Lesnar vs. Rollins (Royal Rumble 2015) Cena vs. Daniel Bryan (SummerSlam 2013) Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho (WrestleMania XIX) My biggest takeaway is that Spring Stampede 94' owned.

NintendoLogic Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Personally, I find the notion that matches can be ranked to a quarter-star degree of precision rather questionable. But I recently whittled my 50 favorite matches down to a top 20, and if pressed, I would rank them thusly: ***** Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee (6/6/83) Sangre Chicana vs. MS-1 (9/23/83) Stan Hansen vs. Toshiaki Kawada (2/28/93) Akira Hokuto vs. Shinobu Kandori (4/2/93) Stan Hansen vs. Kenta Kobashi (7/29/93) Misawa/Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue (12/3/93) Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Toshiaki Kawada (6/3/94) Kawada/Taue vs. Misawa/Kobashi (6/9/95) Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (11/17/96) Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Kenta Kobashi (1/20/97) ****3/4 Jumbo/Tenryu vs. Choshu/Yatsu (1/28/86) Midnight Rockers vs. Rose/Somers (8/30/86) Hansen/Gordy vs. Tenryu/Kawada (12/16/88) Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk (7/23/89) Hansen/Tenryu vs. Jumbo/Yatsu (12/6/89) Jumbo/Fuchi/Taue vs. Misawa/Kawada/Kobashi (10/19/90) Vader vs. Sting (7/12/92) Sting vs. Vader (12/28/92) Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (3/23/97) Eddy Guerrero vs. Brock Lesnar (2/15/04) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpchicago23 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Parv, for a guy that doesn't follow the current product I'm pretty surprised to see you give Reigns/Lesnar the full 5. Care to shed some light on that? Not challenging, just would like to see an opinion of it from someone that doesn't currently watch. Also have you seen the Rumble triple threat?

JerryvonKramer Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I didn't like the Cena vs. Rollins portion of the Triple Threat, I thought it fell into finisher spam and false-finish typical WWE Main Event style boringness, which prevented that match from being truly great. With Lesnar vs. Reigns, it was properly visceral, brutality on a level I can't recall ever seeing in WWF/E and actually in wrestling period. I thought that match was really something.

With Lesnar vs. Reigns, it was properly visceral, brutality on a level I can't recall ever seeing in WWF/E and actually in wrestling period. I thought that match was really something. I agree wholeheartedly on your assessment of the match but the ending really soured it for me. It's still the best WWE match of the year by a considerable distance, save for Banks/Lynch, but there's no way I can award 5* to a match with such an absurd ending. That didn't detract from the match for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have it listed as 4 3/4, feel there are times when the Roadies are wandering around looking for things to do, so that's the minus 1/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
