AJS269 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 In a previous thread the issue of Meltzer's 5 star matches and the fact that he has only named a handful of WWF/WWE matches as being 5 star, so in your opinion what WWF/WWE matches would you class 5 star?

A.P. Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 What are the matches he has listed as 5 star out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshC Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 3/20/94 Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (Ladder Match, WrestleMania X) 8/29/94 Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart (Cage Match, SummerSlam 1994) 3/23/97 Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin (I Quit Match, WrestleMania 13) 10/5/97 Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell Match, In Your House: Badd Blood) Â I'd say that's not far off spot on.

The Cum Doctor Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Don't like the original Razor/HBK, but given the influence it had, and how fun it was at the time, I don't know if I'd go as far as to disagree with it. The rest can't be argued with one bit I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman89762000 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hopefully both hbk/taker matches at mania will feature in the list along with angle vs hbk at wrestlemania (although their 30 min iron man match on the raw homecoming is a belter too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members martyngnr Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 Can't argue with those 4 choices. A case could be made for a few others as well I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd probably be quite generous if i bothered much about the snowflakes. In addition to those i'd probably have the following for starters; Â - Hogan/Warrior WM6 - Warrior/Savage WM7 - Bret/Owen WMX - Royal Rumble 92 - Savage/Steamboat WM3 - Bret/Austin SSeries 96 - HBK v HHH v Benoit WM20 - HBK v HHH SS02 - Bret v HBK WM12 - HBK v Taker WM25 Â I'd guess Summerslam 2002 and the iron man match would be the only contentious ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably took 1/4 off the first one because HBK telegraphed the result by wearing a white hat or something.  EDIT - For anyone that's interested here's a list of of all the Wresltlemania star ratings...  http://starratingslist.blogspot.com/2009/0...tings-list.html  Wrestlemania V Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage: **3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltzer's a dick. Â Steamboat vs. Savage, WMIII Warrior vs. Savage, WMVII Bret vs. Piper, WMVIII Savage vs. Flair, WMVIII Michaels vs. Triple H, Summerslam 2002 Â I've tried to be careful not to go overboard with the ratings, but I honestly believe those five at least are definitely 5*.

Apart from the iron man. Which was actually not all that good. Â - Hogan/Warrior WM6 - Warrior/Savage WM7 - Bret/Owen WMX - Royal Rumble 92 - Savage/Steamboat WM3 - Bret/Austin SSeries 96 - HBK v HHH v Benoit WM20 - HBK v HHH SS02 - Bret v HBK WM12 - HBK v Taker WM25 Â Agreed on all of them, apart from Hogan/Warrior, although I do really like that match.

hitman89762000 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 They're easilly both 5* matches (especially the 2nd one) dont know why he didnt give them the full marks.. ridiculous, as for hbk/razor 1 thats a definate 5* match if it hadn't have been for owen vs bret that hbk/razor match woulda been motn imo. Â All of those matches got ****3/4. Apart from the iron man. Which was actually not all that good. Â Behave that was one of the best matches that year the entire crowd was desperate to see them do five more minutes and it was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 how about Angle vs Benoit Royal Rumble 2003 Â as good a competitve match as you'll ever see and the ovation from the crowd benoit got afterwards was unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrasslin Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I echo the fact that at least one if not both of the HBK-Taker matches should have got 5 stars. Â What more did they need to do to get there? Matches had everything. How can Punk vs Joe get five stars (not knocking that match because I love it) if Taker vs HBK doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If Angle-Benoit's not a 5* match, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
