To be fair, I think it really depends on what your friend is into for how to introduce them into wrestling, y'know?

 

[Chris]

I think that might be the match I've seen the most out of any other tbh

 

[Chris]

Bc I had it on a Flair DVD

 

[Chris]

Actually Rumble 92 might be tops bc it was on the same DVD set

 

[Barry Poppins]

I think Rumble 92, 2002, and 2004 are also great choices to introduce someone to wrestling.

I mean personally my fav match isnt the match inshoe people

 

[Chris]

I watched that shit religiously as a kid though, Flair/Race at Starrcade '83, the Flair/Steamboat trilogy, Flair/Funk "I Quit," Rumble '92, and HHH vs Flair from 03 were just on repeat. It had other stuff too I'm sure lol

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, I watched that quite a bit along with the Bret Hart DVD as well

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I did have a friend randomly ask me for some Foley indy matches so I linked him to the Deathmatch finals between Flair/Funk. He was also readin' his first book at the time and I know Foley went over that match a lot. I'm pretty sure that was exactly what he wanted

My feeling is if someone hasn't seen wrestling or maybe just already has a negative opinion of it, I don't wanna start them with something in the 80s or 90s (unless it's AE) because I feel like that's already an uphill battle no matter how good the match actually is to me

 

[Hoss]

I guess my belief is the average person is kinda turned off by the "vintage" feel

depends if you wanna see old school storytelling or crazy athleticism

 

[Hoss]

Like if I was gonna get someone into basketball, I wouldn't start with Earl Tbe Pearl and Pistol Pete You wanna at least go with Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, AI, etc.

 

[Hoss]

It's a little easier to sell people on I think

 

[Chris]

Start them with Funk/Brisco 2 out if 3 falls from Japan in '74 IMO
