Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted May 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) A bit of an unusual one but it's this for me - the New Age Outlaws' entrance at Royal Rumble 2000. Leading to a pretty forgettable match against The Acolytes, Royal Rumble 2000 was one of the first wrestling video tapes I owned and this entrance in particular has always stuck with me. I remember watching this bit over and over again. It's just so unbelievably cool and encapuslates everything that drew me in to pro wrestling as a wee man. The music, the entire crowd singing along, that D.O.Double G commanding the arena on the mic, the swearing, then the whole "Ladies and gentlemen" spiel - again with the entire audience shouting along - ending with a colossal "Suck It!". That minute and a half is wrestling perfection to me and sums up why it was so great. I'll often today still watch this clip and it never fails to make me smile.

davertfnewman Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Five pops and the crowd gets out "NEW!" before the Fink does in probably his greatest call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 18, 2023 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2023 TLC II is probably the match I rewound and rewatched every spot of, over and over again. Must have watched this bit from near the end dozens of times on my WrestleMania X-Seven video. Craziest thing I'd ever seen. I've seen crazier since, but this match is still the pinnacle of stunt wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 @SpiritOfTheForest check out the girl on the left get absolutely pelted with Road Dogg's bottle of water, because he had to do the splashy splashy gimmick in that small MSG entrance aisle!

Edge's return is a perfect example of that. I also love the Attitude era main events that would descend into chaos, so combining that with Kane returning sends me home happy. As I avoid all possible spoilers like the plague, I had no idea this was going to happen the other year Gonna have to link, 'cos it's not on YouTube, but I love the reaction to Ciclope unmasking at Slamboree '98. That's wrestling done right. https://www.wwe.com/videos/chris-jericho-receives-an-unwanted-surprise-slamboree-1998 You can divide this match into clips, or watch the whole thing, it's an absolute treasure. Everything from the baseball slide from Hell, to Owen countering the spinning heel kick into a German suplex, this is a masterpiece. People don't often talk about the chemistry between Owen and Waltman, but they were amazing together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objection your honour. I constantly pimp that match as the best 5 minute match of the 90s, and their rematch on Action Zone was excellent if less of a sprint.

Paid Members Wretch Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 It’s just perfect. Booker’s disbelief, JR’s disgust and Cole’s deadpan stare down the lens. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted May 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 This is another match where I can watch the whole thing again and again, but those last few minutes are just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of HBK’s cleanest superkicks, he hit an equally sweet one on Mysterio a couple of years later as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Rey Rey hitting that reverse somersault into a DDT on Eddie at HH97. Must have watched it hundreds of times. Also, this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
