Last Wrestling Match Watched 2.0

U.S. Title match Lex Luger (c) VS. Mean Mark (W/Paul E. Dangerously) **1/2
A better match than you would expect.

If I rated matches I feel like I'd have this one a bit higher tbh but maybe that's just cause I wasn't expecting anything at all and it was really solid

To be fair I could have gone up to 3 stars, but it was a little sloppy at times and was short. But it was solid. Luger's match with Dan Spivey from 91 was even more of a surprise.

For real that was probably Spivey's best singles match ever

NWA Tag Title match Doom (W/Teddy Long) VS. The Rock 'N' Roll Express Great American Bash 1990 ***1/2
The perfect example of a classic big team vs. small team match. Morton's selling and comebacks are something special. I love the contrast in style, the pacing of the match and how the crowd are drawn into the action and peak at just the right time. Exciting action bell to bell.

NWA Title match Ric Flair (c) VS. Sting Great American Bash 1990 ****
A proper big match main event. A compelling and emotional end to a classic slow burn storyline. Great drama, and psychological. The crowd heat was awesome and JR did a great job calling it. Sting ended up looking like a million bucks, at the same time the greatest champion in history was protected. Its to their credit that this probably isn't their best match.

Eddie's WCW debut. He looks pretty good. The match itself is alright, with some rough patches. Strange finish. **1/2

WCW Saturday Night (2/13/93) - Barry Windham & Paul Orndorff vs Cactus Jack & Dustin Rhodes

Bret Hart vs British Bulldog
Summerslam 1992
Crowd was clearly on Bulldogs side since they were in England
Excellent match!!

Brock Lesnar vs John Cena vs Seth Rollins - Royal Rumble 2015

 

[Mox Girl]

The 2013 Royal Rumble match. It was pretty good, I'd just watched the 2012 one just before it and that was shitty, so 2013 was a welcomed improvement.

WWE NXT (1/23/20) - NXT North American Championship: Roderick Strong (c) vs Keith Lee

FUCKING INSANE BRO, I knew it would be going in, but these two still killed it. No spoilers here since this isn't the NXT thread but DAT ENDING

 

[southrnbygrace]

Watched the 2013 Rumble last night. I'll watch 2014 sometime this afternoon.

 

[Chris]

Just finished the 2018 Men's Rumble. Really great shit tbh, one of my favorite Rumbles of all time that I think will stand the test of time later on even though Shinsuke winning doesn't look as good in hindsight. Really good action for a Rumble during this one, super hot crowd, a couple nice surprise entrants and even some decent comedy.

Lex Luger VS. Lodvic Borga - October 1993
A useless and sloppy match made even because its so slow and drawn out. As someone said on Youtube this is probably the feud which killed Luger's singles push (not that it was succeeding anyway. *

 

[Showstopper]

Non-televised match between Shawn and Austin from 4/30/96:
