What are the best matches to show to get someone into wrestling?

[Bort]

You guys wanna some shoot style?







Minimum co-opertion, no Irish Whips, no top rope moves, etc. Just vicious strikes and painful holds.

Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus at WM 28 :troll:

I would show him Triple H vs Taker because that was pretty brutal for today's era even though II wouldn't call it a match masterpiece, but the storytelling of that match is what gets it going.

Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk obviously would be a good match and is relatively recent.

I would show him some Money in the Bank matches as well, the one at Wrestlemania 26 was pretty good (because Benjamin was in it)

& I can't forget Punk vs Jericho at Extreme Rules of course

Well, I guess you can't show simply TLC matches and stuff, otherwise as you said since most matches don't have stuff like that they'd be disappointed. KL has a point, showing something like a video package about their feud before showing the match would be nice. My friends don't care that I watch wrestling, sometimes they make fun of me for it but they not because they dislike it, we make fun of each other for various reasons. They don't watch it though.

I've shown him pretty much the whole CM Punk/John Cena feud (promo wise, at least) and he seemed to really enjoy it, I also showed The Shields promo's before the TLC match and he liked those too. I'm definitely not making him go in blind.

I know it's best to show actual matches first, but I want him to already like what he's seeing before showing him a full blown wrestling match and explaining it to him. So I'll show him a TLC match, either The Shield vs Ryback and Hell No or Shelton Benjamin vs Christian, probably the first considering it happened last month.

But yeah, I'm definitely not showing him a Hardy/E&C/Dudley match as he'd be disappointed when he saw other matches from this era greatly lol.

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it. He's a forumgoer too, so he'll probably post here if he does like it.

I honestly don't know about HHH/Taker, it was a good match but mostly because of the history and storytelling. I don't think it'd have as good of an effect on him as it did for us, especially considering the fact he will probably never understand how important the streak is lol.

I was thinking more of the lines of WM 24 MITB. That was brutal. Anyone remember that 5 man suplex? Or Shelton flipping from the ladder to the outside breaking a few other ladders? Such a great match.

I can't remember, was AJ involved in both matches? I seriously hope not as I really don't want to expose him to utter shit.

Yeah, definitely that match after I show him the MITB 2011 one. I'm surprised how overlooked that match is.

It's really not about the match it's about all the damn chair shots, he'll love it.

Any MITB match Shelton was in is pure gold

I don't think that match had AJ involved in it, I believe that was No Way Out.

Another good one might be the pre show tag team match at Wrestlemania, that one was pretty good although it has a very noticeable botch from Justin Gabriel

Agree with you on HHH/Taker, thought about mentioning it but what you said came to mind.

Punk/Bryan at OTL was AJ-free. Just a good old wrestling match.

Both MITB Ladder matches in 2011 were pretty dope, that's true.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Melina vs Alicia Fox was dope.

Melina vs Alicia Fox was dope.

Yeah I agree. If I say so myself, it was the best wrestling match I've ever seen.

Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Extreme Rules is defiantly something they'd enjoy and maybe get them interested in wrestling.
