flatluigi posted:also believe me when i say this is an entirely serious response: the invisible man vs invisible stan match is genuinely fascinating to watch and shows exactly how much a good crowd and a good ref can add to a match One of the lamest things I have ever stood through and we couldn't imagine it was still going on after a friend took a smoke break so we didn't have to see it.

Kosmo Gallion posted:What is the perfect wrestling match? Tanahashi vs Okada from Wrestle Kingdom 9. It wasn't the end of their story, but this particular match played perfectly on their previous encounters, Tana's increasing desperation to remain the Ace of the company, and Okada breaking down in the entryway after the match because he still couldn't beat Tanahashi on the biggest stage just yet. Plus it made the catharsis when Okada finally beat him the next year even better, 4 years to the day after Okada first challenged Tanahashi at Wrestle Kindom 6

Daniel Bryan Vs Cena at Summerslam 2013 is perfect bell to bell. The call backs to their velocity max, the slapping, the debut of Bryan’s Busaiku knee. Just a flawless face vs face match and the best WWE style match ever to me.

There was a hilarious picture of two people in a ring, one was upside down flying through the air and the other had their head turned looking at them, but I can't remember who they were or what it was from.

Kosmo Gallion posted:What is the perfect wrestling match? Goldberg squashing Lesnar a few years ago was possibly the biggest feel-good match I've ever seen. Goldberg comes back, cuts that promo about seeing excited kids around the world, and feeling like a superhero again. He talks about his son seeing him stand in a ring for the first time. He responds to Brock's challenge, saying how, maybe, he has one more rear end-kicking, one more spear, one more "DEVASTATING JACKHAMMER" in him. Brock, not only are you next, "you're LAST!" One more match. Grey-faced wrestledad Goldberg returns after 12 years for one more match against the guy who's been effortlessly squashing everybody for years. And Goldberg just Goldberg'd Brock, easily. Shoves him down, spears him twice, Jackhammer, pin in 90 seconds. Performing for his kid for the first time, he became that superhero, demolishing Brock Lesnar like it was a Nitro squash. And then he never wrestled again, and especially didn't almost kill himself suplexhammering a guy with a dumb mask. Shine fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Bryan vs Batista vs Orton at Wrestlemania 30 is the perfect match to me. Tons of drama for various reasons, and there's always a thought in the back of your mind that Vince is gonna pull a fast one on the crowd, making every near fall that much more nerve-wracking. Everyone plays their part.

Also worth a mention is Jushin Liger's first retirement match at last year's Wrestle Kingdom. It was perfect for what it was, a whole bunch of Liger's friends and enemies throughout his career (with a combined age of 407, Taguchi really dragged the average age down) turning back the clock one last time and putting in performances nobody was expecting. Plus hearing Liger's music for one of the last times really got to me, he had that music before I was even born

It feels wrong to include anything Chikara did in a "perfect match" discussion, but the 6-man tag between Team AAA (Drago, Fenix, and Aerostar) and the Gentleman's Club (Drew Gulak, Chuckie T, and allegedly Pete Dunne as the Swamp Monster) is the platonic ideal of a proper wrestling promotion interacting with Chikara's goofiness. It's also a really good match in its own right and one that I show to people new to watching wrestling.

But 'stomping' hair is not the same as 'pulling' hair, so by Loophole Logic it should be fine.

disaster pastor posted:Michaels/Undertaker Hell in a Cell. I watch this every third month or so and it always holds up. The match rules, of course, but it's also some of the best set pieces Kevin Dunn (??? !!!) ever got filmed. Early stretches inside the cell with the camera behind Undertaker's broad shoulders while he stalks HBK like a serial killer. Camera dudes in super-close range during the beat down. Camera dudes taking bumps. The long, slow shot of Kane strolling to the ring. Perfect visual storytelling. e: another "perfect match" nominee: Becky/Charlotte, last woman standing, Evolution. Charlotte as relentless terminator who finally, just barely, can't get up one more time. Every booking issue you'd ever have with her, acted out in the match itself, but with a happy payoff for once.

Some of the CIMA/Magnum TOKYO matches back in the Toryumon days were drat near perfect. Defiant Wrestling had a fantastic Ricochet/Ospreay match in the semifinals of their World Cup tournament in I think 2017. I even showed that match to some non-fans and they were riveted.

Kosmo Gallion posted:What is the perfect wrestling match? I'm like a broken record with this, but my pick is British Bulldog vs. Warlord at WrestleMania 7. You start off with two wrestlers with limited ability who for some reason have fantastic chemistry and bring out the best in each other. Then you give them a really basic story: British Bulldog's two characteristics are that he's British and he's super strong. Now he's up against a heel who is bigger and seemingly stronger than him, threatening to make him straight-up obsolete. Bulldog has an uphill battle pulling off his finisher because it means lifting up the massive Warlord. He has an even bigger uphill battle with Warlord's full nelson finisher because if it gets locked on, he's probably not going to be able to power out. Great. It's a simple storyline that can build towards a single PPV match. Plus I love the dynamic of "big, strong face takes on someone bigger and stronger, therefore having to change up his strategy," which is why Sheamus vs. Big Show was a fun series. It leads to 8 minutes of Bulldog playing up his speed and the two working off each other exceptionally well. When Warlord goes for the full nelson, Bulldog is able to power out, BUT it's not as clear-cut because Warlord wasn't able to fully lock it in and use the hold at its strongest. Bulldog hits his running powerslam and wins and you have an entirely solid bout. It ended up being a little too good, as WWF kept having them face off at PPVs after that. SummerSlam was a six-man tag, they were on opposite teams at Survivor Series and then they had a not-quite-as-good rematch at Tuesday in Texas.
