If You Could Take Only 3 Matches To A Desert Island...

Benoit vs. Taskmaster (WCW Great American Bash 1996) - My favorite match of all time and the match that turned Benoit into my favorite wrestler of all time as kid. Knowing the backstory to this over the years made it much better in my eyes.

 

Rey Jr. vs Eddie (WCW Halloween Havoc 1997) - A match that has aged well in it's element. I know this may not be everyone's type of match now a days, but back then this was highly praised. To this day these 2 guys pulled out spots that haven't still been replicated and executed as perfectly as they did. Rey Jr. just went balls to the wall and Eddie caught him perfectly in every spot they worked in.

 

Sting, Windham, Dustin, Steamboat and Koloff vs. Austin, Rude, Arn, Eaton and Zbyszko (WCW WrestleWar 1992) - My favorite cage match ever and maybe the most underrated cage match ever. I haven't watched it in a while, but both teams really brought it that night. This match also featured the best Ricky Steamboat fist pump in the history of wrestling.

I like Elliott stealing the old cheating gimmick. :)

 

Anyway:

 

03/05/69 NWA Int'l Title: Giant Baba vs The Destroyer
11/26/92 WWWA Tag Titles: Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada vs Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai

We break down matches such as HHH Vs. Cactus, Bret Hart Vs. Roddy Piper, HHH Vs. Rock, Angle Vs. Michaels, Royal Rumble 2001, Lesnar Vs. Cena, Misawa Vs. Kobashi, Punk Vs.
