80’s and 90’s WWF (or WCW) I guess

[Kbiz]

Just thought it was downright shameful there isn't one Bushwhackers mention in here yet.



The Bushwhackers crawled so the Dudleyz could walk.

In my mind the single greatest rivalry was Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect in terms of the utter... perfection of the matches.

Every single match they had was a classic.

They were the two greatest workers of their age.

I think this is their first match in the WWF. Hennig returned to the WWF in late 88 or early 89, but would only begin his legendary IC title run in early 1990.

Their best match ever, was Summer Slam 1992 for the Intercontinental title.

I think that match might have gone about a hour and a half or pure technical excellence of execution and perfectionism on display.

It is most unfortunate that Perfect hurt his back repeatedly.

It would have been amazing to see Perfect and Hart go at it when Hart was champion.

It is a crime that Perfect never got the big belt; his back gave out when he was at the height of his popularity.

Vince had big plans for him going into 1992 but that slipped disc ended that. By the time Perfect came back in early 1993 things had changed quite a bit. He got a nice program against Flair in 1993, and then a legendary King of the Ring match with Bret again that summer, but got hurt again in early 1994 and by then Shawn Michaels was filling that niche and then Hennig left for WCW.

Look at what I just found, @RchfldCavRaised!

I think this might be the only full match between Undertaker and Bret Hart.

Back when Taker was a cheating heel.

Never a cleaner, text-book perfect execution of a suplex ever.

We'll never know if the Undertaker would have tapped out from the Sharpshooter.

Reading through this thread brought back alot of fun memories. 80s-90 WWE/WWF was the shit!!

We're going to turn this thread into a one-stop shop for Golden Era matches.

There is this gem: The classic Undertaker vs. Yokozuna Casket Match!

 

[Sebastian]

The infamous Undertaker vs. Hogan title match.

Classic G1 Undertaker, feat. Ric Flair.

After the match, Hogan did his best to torpedo 'Taker's title run, lying that Undertaker wrenched his neck on the tombstone.

There was never a lie Hogan didn't like.

 

[Sebastian]

Bonus: Undertaker shoots about Hogan's fib.

Another gem, @RchfldCavRaised and @The Oi!

Roddy Piper vs. Mr. Perfect IC Title Match.

Starts as a brawl, ends as a street fight.

No one sold like Hennig. Floppy blonde hair flying everywhere.

It's actually something of a miracle that Hogan put Warrior over clean at Wrestlemania VI.

I think that was the last time for a long, long time Hogen put someone over without demanding a trick ending.

The infamous Wrestlemania IX with the trick finish to the Tag-Team match with Money Inc. and then the bullshit title win in 10 seconds over Yokozuna, after he just beat Bret Hart, is a perfect example.

THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME, BROTHA

Yeah Hogan was a giant piece of shit Vince prolly paid the man multi millions to put over Warrior

The best part about this is after Hogan lied about fucking up his neck, when Taker calls him out on it he changes his story to "You held me so tight I wasn't able to move and that's why you jammed me up" or whatever. Lol.

Yeah, it is hilarious that Vince and Shane looked at the tape that night and both told 'Taker he did nothing wrong.

And what is more noteworthy is that Mark tells the story at all because he is considered the most ethical, high-character star in wrestling to the point that he almost never, ever talks ill about people.

And even when telling the story, to his immense credit, he never actually calls Hogan names or anything. The worst he says is "After that night I was wary of Hogan. I figured, well, that's how its going to be. He's a man I can never trust."
