The Natural Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 More on my top five: There was only one choice for the top spot. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin happened 20 years ago this month. It’s flawless with a legendary ending. One of the best matches of all time, it may well be THE best. Pure wrestling in the Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart match from WrestleMania X. I’ve always preferred this to Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X and that’s not a dig at the Ladder match. In Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV, I think to ‘Taker diving headfirst into the floor from his over the top rope dive and the terrific final stretch. In the WrestleMania XXVI rematch, Undertaker injures his leg early, his great sell job and another memorable final stretch leading to Michaels’ retirement.

John Austin Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm surprised you have X7 main at 13. To me, it was one of the few times it felt epic with the setting and actually delivered. And while the ending wasnt as clean as I would've liked, it made sense in the story they were telling to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly when I was comrprising the list, I thought the Austin vs. Rock WrestleMania X-Seven placement was off. It may be for the reason you gave.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 At the risk of going List-A-Mania with this... 1) Warrior vs Savage - Mania 7 2) Bret vs Owen - Mania 10 3) Shawn vs Razor - Mania 10 4) Savage vs Steamboat - Mania 3 5) Savage vs Flair - Mania 8 6) Bryan vs Triple H - Mania 30 7) Piper vs Bret - Mania 8 8) Rock vs Hogan - Mania 18 9) Rock vs. Austin - Mania 17 10) TLC 1 - Mania 17 11) Taker vs Shawn - Mania 25 12) Rock vs Austin - Mania 19 13) Lesnar vs Reigns vs Rollins - Mania 31 14) Taker vs Shawn - Mania 26 15) Shawn vs Flair - Mania 24 16) Triple H vs Benoit vs HBK - Mania 20 17) Bret vs Austin - Mania 13 18) Triple H vs Taker - Mania 17 19) Hogan vs Warrior - Mania 6 20) Big Show vs Mayweather - Mania 24 ------------------------------------------------------ 21) Crush vs Savage - Mania 10 22) Taker vs Orton - Mania 21 23) Twin Towers vs The Rockers - Mania 5 Warrior/Savage has unparalleled drama in the match. Dude kicks out of 5 top rope elbows. Great conclusion of a five year story arc for Savage afterwards. It's so far and away better than anything else Warrior did - probably the greatest example of a miracle match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
