The Cum Doctor Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ladder Match. Â For me, something has to go tragically wrong for a match with ladders to not entertain me. Even messy as fuck ladder matches which have zero flow tend to entertain me as I simply love ladder spots. It's a soft spot in wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My favorite match type is the Hell In A Cell, as the violence, blood and drama of those past matches were mostly incredible. Undertaker Vs Shawn Michaels, Undertaker Vs Mankind, Triple H Vs Cactus Jack, The 6 Man Armageddon, Undertaker Vs Brock Lesnar, Undertaker Vs Edge are among my favourites of all time.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted March 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 TLC. What's not to love about crazy stunts from ladders and crashing through buffet tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd say Hell in a Cell for me, before it got terribly watered down of course. HBK-Taker was one of the first matches I saw and still one of my all-time favourites. Then you had Foley and his craziness in '98 and a the great 'retirement' match he had with Hunter in 2000.

DeanoTheGame Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The Royal Rumble. As mentioned, it's only done once a year so still feels special, it always feels big-time, and it has the amazing Booker T/Diesel moments almost every year (I even marked out for Tatanka's return). Â Special mention to the ladder/TLC and Elimination Chamber matches too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince russo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hell in a Cell for me and not to sound cliche but pre PG era of course before the match got dramatically watered down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted March 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 6-Man or 8-Man tag RAW Main Events. Â You know what I'm talking about. Those multi-man matches they have every couple of months on RAW, where everyone ends up going nuts, running in and hitting their finishers on each other. They're always brilliant and they should do them more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The Royal Rumble. Possible the best match concept ever, in its purest form (1992). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair's Divorce Lawyer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I would have to say Last Man Standing Match because there have been quite a few quality matches and they usually have tense and dramatic moments in. Jericho vs Triple H at Fully Loaded 2000 was awesome and is always the first one that springs to my mind. Also Edge vs Cena, Cena vs Umaga, Undertaker vs Big Show are all quality as well.

BionicRedneck Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 War Games for me. I even quite like that 1994 one with the Nasty Boys in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Windham Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 TLC for me. It's about as gimmicky as it gets without being daft (I'm looking at you Judy Bagwell) and it can work with any number of people. Loved all the first 4 or 5 they did with the tag teams, they still rank as some of the best gimmick matches ever. There have been some very good singles ones since then mainly involving Edge, vs Flair, Cena and Taker spring to mind and I thought the recent Fatal 4 Way was fantastic. Â More than anything though it's probably the least overdone 'big' gimmick match I can think of with only 11 taking place in 11 years since they started. I know they have lots of Ladder/Table matches in between but combined these still feel special when they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_Money Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Most gimmick match types can be excellent. There's obvious one's that are usually pretty dire, like '.... on a Pole' match. Â So long as the match is worked smart, and it has a good build then I'm usually pretty happy. WWE do tend to just through stipulations around without good reason now which really dilutes them. Â I remember back in 2000 Last Man Standing matches were fairly few and far between. You knew it was a big deal when was done, eg: Jericho vs HHH at Fully Loaded which was an amazing match. Â Now they do a couple a year. Â If I had to call one a particular favourite I would say - I always really enjoy best 2 out of 3 falls matches.
