cheapshot Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have just watched Dragon Lee vs Kamaitachi from Jan 24th 2015. I felt for a 6 minute match, it was a whole heap of fun. (See below) It got me thinking, what are some great sub 10 minute matches? Off the top of my head, I'd go with: Hashimoto v Zangiev from 4/24/89 Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid from 8/30/80 Owen Hart vs. 123 Kid from KOTR 94 6/19/94 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzmseo_owen-hart-vs-1-2-3-kid-semi-final-king-of-the-ring-1994_sport Daisuke Ikeda vs. Takeshi Ono from 10/26/14 KENTA vs. Ricky Marvin from 10/15/09 There's also the Lawler vs. Snowman match that was so different to anything else at the time.

JerryvonKramer Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 DiBiase / Duggan multi-stip and DiBiase / Flair would be standard ones to roll out. Bock / Zbyszko from AWA too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concrete1992 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well Necro vs Joe is about 5 seconds shy of 10 minutes so there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 ^ agree with concrete1992. Bell to bell it just qualifies. Great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidebottom Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 No expressing how gutted I am the advertised KOTR 10 minute match between Michaels and Hart with the foundation cuffed to every ring post didn't happen. That would have been bags of fun, and would have been interesting to see Bret the heel against Michaels the face at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Cooke Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Snowman vs. Jerry Lawler 6/2/90 USWA Rey vs. Noble 5/1/04 Velocity Basham vs. Jindrak 3/26/05 Velocity Arn/Tully vs. Luger/Windham 3/27/88 Dandy vs. Rey 11/29/97 WCWSN Eddy vs. Rey 12/27/97 WCWSN Juventud vs. Dandy 1/10/98 WCWSN Rey vs. Kidman 3/15/99 Nitro Wataru Sakata vs. Kiyoshi Tamura 7/20/98 RINGS I think the 12/15/97 Juventud/Rey vs. Parka/Psicosis from 12/15/97 Nitro is under 10 but not completely sure.

BBscout Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pillman vs Bagwell from Main Event Aug95 pre-Clash. Jericho vs Storm is a good back and forth opener from One Night Stand. Michaels vs Foley from RAW Aug97 Sabu vs Alex Wright from Nitro Sept95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready_Willing_Gable Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Angle v Mysterio at Summerslam '02 qualifies by a few seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pol Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I had a list of these for a while which I wish I had kept around now. A whole bunch of last year's En Busca would surely qualify. I don't really even remember specific matches because there were so many good ones. is the playlist of all the matches Phil Schneider ranked Must See. I always enjoyed these: Akiyama vs. Kea (07/18/98) Blue Panther vs. Virus (05/12/13): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Volk Han vs Kenichi Yamamoto (07/20/1998) Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero (11/06/1995) Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero (10/16/1995) Butch Reed & Ron Simmons vs Arn Anderson & Barry Windham (12/16/1990) Shinya Hashimoto vs Victor Zangiev (04/24/1989) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I just watched Murakami vs Ishikawa from 11/00 again and that is 8 glorious minutes. Vader vs Tamura from 6/94 is still my favorite Vader in UWFi match. And the Pillman vs Windham taped fist match from the first SuperBrawl.

elliott Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 How long is the Lawler vs Funk No DQ match? THat's right around 10 minutes. This video that KrisZ put on youtube has a Tommy Rich vs Brad Armstrong match that is a shockingly great 5 minute match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Ugh why is there only the very end of The Bullet and Wrestling II tag match?? I don't care if they were both well past their prime by 89 that's like a dream team for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 That Masters Vs McIntyre match from Smackdown. I think that was under 5 minutes even.

fxnj Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 KENTA vs Ricky Marvin 2009 KENTA vs Takashi Sugiura 2011 Jun Akiyama vs Masakatsu Funaki 2012 And, speaking of Funaki, how has no one mentioned the GOAT Funaki/Nakano match from 1989?

PhilTLL Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Sub-5:00 subcategory: Kaz Hayashi vs Raven (Worldwide 3/20/99), Brian Pillman vs Norman The Lunatic (Clash VIII, 9/89). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNLister Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Rockers-Brainbusters from the Nov 89 SNME. I think it might actually be one second over, but that is with three falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillThompson Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Well damn, I missed out on all the fun it seems. Pretty much every match I was going to nominate has been nominated already. Really though, you can't go wrong with Zangiev/Hashimoto, Joe/Necro, or Owen/Shamrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 That KENTA / Ricky Marvin match is even sub THREE minutes from the dive before the bell to the finish. Enjoyed plucking that one out from the playlist Allan put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
