Ruthless-RKO
F*ck Friends, Rather die wiv ma AK!
Listening to the Bryan & Vinny's show and they reviewed Wrestlemania 10's huge one-two punch in Bret Hart vs Owen Hart and Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels. While they refused to talk about any of the other matches of the show, they kept going on and on about how great these two matches were. The rest of the show may suck for them, but that one-two punch for them is enough to make them sorta love the show. It got me thinking, what is the best one-two punch on PPV? Ignore the rest of the card, regardless of how good or bad they may be, but which show has the best two matches that blows every other PPV out of the water?
Instantly, my mind started thinking of some of the more famous ones. Obviously, there's that Wrestlemania 10. Some could say Steve Austin vs The Rock and TLC 2 from Wrestlemania 17. The workrate may not be comparable, but Andre the Giant vs Hulk Hogan and Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage was a hell of a one-two punch.
To further attempt to create some discussion, how much does two great matches mean to you for an overall show? Take Wrestlemania 10 for example, the rest of the show was pretty dreadful. Were those two matches enough to make you love the PPV?
Honourable Mention
WresleMania XIX
5. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho (a dream match on a silver platter)
4. Triple H vs Booker T (Great WHC match, this one gets downplayed basically because it had to follow HBK and Jericho)
3. Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon (Highly anticipated and well built match)
2. The Rock vs Steve Austin (The last time that would happen)
1. Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle (Arguably one of the best WM main events ever)
---------------------------------------
Phew, I know I have covered a lot of WWE especially from 2000 onwards, and I know there must be loads more, so if you could help me out with some from the 90's and also WCW and TNA?
Or if you think some of my honourable mentions should be the best then please do say.
