Doog Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I always thought Eddie Guerrero vs.Rey Mysterio never really clicked during their feud in 2005. The WrestleMania 21 match was ok, but the storyline got a bit dull after that when Eddie turned heel. I remember the ladder match being particularly poor.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 Are you sure? Â I'm fairly sure it was Triple H Vs Shawn Michaels, 3 stages of hell for the World title, with Shawn Defending due to him winning as the first Elimination chamber at SS of that year. Â EDIT: It was Armageddon 2002! I think that's the one. Remember it being woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Aye, it wasn't very good. Thought the street fight section was alright, but then it just felt like it was going on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 Pretty much every Doug Williams-Rob Brookside match falls into this category. They weren't bad, just disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitman Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Pretty much every Doug Williams-Rob Brookside match falls into this category. They weren't bad, just disappointing. Â Never seen those two face each other, what went wrong in those bouts? I would have thought they would have been pretty special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Some of the time it can be that styles are too similar ala HBK vs Perfect where as said by Michaels many times they were both great bumpers/ sellers but they couldn't mesh that together as there was essentially nobody to lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted April 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 One that really didn't click was, if memory serves, either Raven and Chris Jericho or Raven and William Regal. One or the other, anyway. I think it was Jericho, but a nagging part of my brain is saying it was Regal. Â I know the obvious response is 'well, it was Raven', but this was a match that just really didn't work on the night, and both of them came away looking worse, and worked far worse than either of their normal matches.

Might have been on a Coliseum Video release or something, but I can remember it being an absolute scorcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been on a Coliseum Video release or something, but I can remember it being an absolute scorcher. Aye, it was back when shawn was a Rocker, World Tour '91 rings a bell, but could be wrong. It was a nice little match whilst it lasted during the Perfect/Bossman feud. I always remembered it for the spot with Shawn coming out of nowhere with the most mental dive you could imagine (for the time)  You could maybe put the Summerslam match down to their styles clashing to a certain extent, and I think that Perfect especially was a much better heel than face, but I think mostly it was just a rotten day at the office for the both of them, added to some really shitty booking with the anti-climatic ending coming out of nowhere before they even had the chance to build any drama or even have some nearfalls. There's matches from '93 between them from house show handhelds on the streaming sites that are still better than Summerslam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 Seem to remember a Benoit/Angle match from one of the UK PPV's being a big disappointment. Anyone remember that one? I think it's the only 2/3 falls match in history where someone won 2-0! Â Never liked a lot of Dibiase matches. For how brilliant he was at portraying the character, he never had particularly memorable matches. Razor Ramon was similar for the first couple of years. Â This one is down to the booking more than the guys involved but i absolutely hate Steve Austin's comeback match against Rikishi. It's just OTT garbage.

Merzbow Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Angle Vs Styles on the big Jan 4 episode of Impact, i seriously detest the whole "lets kick out of 20 finishers" mentality that Kurt seems to have for his match endings and i remember this one pissing me off badly. I'm sure there was a similar match with Jeff Hardy (who i do rate highly) and some stupid screwy time limit draw on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezzRexx Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Shawn/Bret WM12 match isn't actually all that bad, it's more uneventful due to the amount of time they had to do. The last 10 minutes are excellent. Â On the other hand, the Survivor Series 97 match before the screw job is abysmal, whereas the match from Survivor Series 92 is pretty good. Â Hogan vs Flair never did anything for me. Sting vs Bret Hart likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thin this was also his last PPV appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
