ThePhenom Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Another I have thought of, is In Your House 7 that I watched last night. The show is pretty boring, but that main event match between Shawn Michaels and Diesel is so entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 Summerslam '92 is blatantly a one match show and you all know it. I went into that SummerSlam eagerly awaiting who's side Mr.Perfect was going to be on! Also, Crush had that lovely singlet and boots combo which made that made great by proxy.

fraserbee Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 There have been some good choices mentioned here. Some that spring to mind for me: Â Great American Bash and Starrcade 1992. The Bash and the NWA tag title tournament which was ok but there were too many tag team matches (as you might expect) and most of them were fairly boring with only a couple I would call good. The Starrcade 92 show had the Lethal Lottery and Battle Bowl, which produced a lot of too short tag team matches and a not particularly good battle royal, a bellow par Masa Chono vs Muta match and Ron Simmons vs Steve Williams (who filled in for Rick Rude). Both shows, however, contained absolutely cracking Sting vs Vader matches which I rate very highly indeed. Â In Your House 10 - Mind Games was a pretty poor show. The highlight of the undercard for me was the fantastic bump Jerry Lawler took out of the ring for Mark Henry. The main event of Mankind vs Shawn Michaels was superb.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted February 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wrestlemania 13 is the best example. Bret/Austin is a super match, but watching the rest of the show again made me realise just how shit it actually is.   I'd say that was the same for most of the 97 ppv's. Shit cards with one cracking match..   KOTR. Austin vs Michaels  Trippers won King of the Ring that year didn't he? Admittedly i don't think i've seen it since but i remember loving and being right into the final with him and Mankind. But i was all over Mankinds evolution as this time, was the match balls?

Paid Members Tommy! Posted February 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is there any shows that have been put on that you didn't like for the most part, except for one match on it's own that you love? I'll start of with a few of mine, I'm not a big fan of the 1991 Royal Rumble, infact I can't seem to get into any of the matches on that show for some reason, except for the Ultimate Warrior Vs SGT Slaughter WWF title match (which I love). You what? That card has Rockers v Orient Express - which was excellent - and Big Boss Man v Barbarian, which was pretty damn good too.  I'm with freaky, that tag is the shit and anything with the man from Cobb County is worth a watch.  IYH:April. Bret vs Austin  IYH14 had an great Taker Vs Foley match. It was the first IYH I watched and wondered if that all had people going head first through tables.

Â Â I thought it was. Mick's unmasking and the Pedigree through the table was cool, but before that finishing stretch there was 20-odd minutes of absolutely nothing. One of the most needlessly long matches I've seen. Also, the crowd was DEAD until the table spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Silly. Rockers/Orients is the mad notes. Bosom Man v Barbar is pretty good too. Â Wrestlemania 13 is the best example. Bret/Austin is a super match, but watching the rest of the show again made me realise just how shit it actually is. Â Hitman/Austin would put anything in the shade, but I thought the streetfight was fun. Possibly just because I was marking for LOD. Â Summerslam '92 is blatantly a one match show and you all know it. Â Bollocks. Savage/Warrior isnt as good as Bulldog/Bret, or the match they had at WM7, but its still fucking good. Â I copied Eddy/Rey from Great American Bash onto a seperate tape made of a mismash of matches and taped over the SS1 broadcast - was there anything else redeeming on that, or was it shite? Â For me, the epitome of the one-match show is Survivors 92. Â High Energy vs Headshrinkers is passable, but if you want to watch a decent tag match with Owen in, there are plenty better. Bossman v Nailz is forgettable. Macho/Perfect v Flair/Razor is completely story driven but really feels like all four are on auto-pilot, and feels a bit of a re-run of plenty of other Savage/Flair matches (during the heat on Savage middle section) and suffers badly from no finish. Model/Tatanka is interminable, as is the tag elimination. Undertaker/Kamala is just stalling right up to the finish, Yoko v Virgil is a decent squash, but its just a squash. You can basically skip the whole show, and miss nothing. Â And then Hitman v Shawn Michaels is utterly stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Street Fight at Wrestlemania 13 was fucking horrific on repeat viewing for me. I just wanted it to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ummm can I have two matches?! Wrestlemania X - other than bret v owen / ramon v micheals. Â Other than Warrior v Hogan, theres not much that I can think was much cop at Wrestlemania VI Â Enjoyed Roberts vs Rude at Wrestlemania IV but not much else. And other than the last 10 minutes of Hart vs Dibiase, theres not much I enjoyed about Survivor Series 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 No Mercy in Manchester~! Â Austin/Undertaker/HHH three-way with a hundred finishers and run-ins was tons of fun. The rest... well, the house shows the previous month blew it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest... well, the house shows the previous month blew it away.  I quite liked that, the show long story of the corporate ministry was fun and it had essentially the same 6 man from backlash. For a C level show in the UK where theres no need to do lots I've always thought its quite good fun in its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 For a C level show in the UK where theres no need to do lots I've always thought its quite good fun in its way.  As a paying customer I thought it was an absolute insult. The WWF were incredibly arrogant to run a show in the States with the other half of the roster on the same day. At least these days when you put your hand in your pocket you know you're getting the Raw roster, SmackDown roster or on PPV, both.  Cards for the interested :  NO, MERCY! Tiger Ali Singh d Gillberg Viscera & the Acolytes d Edge, Christian, & Gangrel Steve Blackman d Droz Kane d/dq Mideon Nicole Bass d Tori Shane McMahon d X-Pac Billy Gunn d Mankind Steve Austin d the Undertaker and Triple H  Richmond, VA house show Matt & Jeff Hardy d Too Much Kurt Angle d Terry Taylor Test d Albert The Big Show d Mark Henry in a slam match The Road Dogg d Owen Hart Val Venis & Jackie d D-Lo Brown & Ivory The Rock d the Big Bossman Al Snow d Hardcore Holly Godfather d Goldust Ken Shamrock d 8-Ball  A DOA on last? Bizarre. Still, No Mercy had an amazingly inconsequential and rubbish undercard. However I probably wouldnt stick it in this thread if you like Austin v Undertaker v Trips, because X-Pac v Shane was surprisingly good (as their matches tended to be).

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 Probably WM18 for me: outside Rock/Hogan, everything else is a bit "meh", and not just by comparison to that match. All the others were passable, and wouldn't be out of place on a minor PPV, but they weren't Mania-calibre. UT/Flair was actually a little disappointing, considering their calibre.
