As the title states name your five all-time favorite wrestlers and at least one or two of their best matches.
Ill Start:
1. Triple H-I do not like him at all right now, but his first solo run after he left DX was in my opinion one of the most entertaining runs ever. He wrestled some great matches at this time and was a fresh face as the Champion which was very much needed at the time.
vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle SummerSlam 2000-This was the best executed Triple-Threat match I think I have ever seen. The Rock and HHH prove once again how great they work together and Kurt Angle proved that he was a main event player in this match as well.
vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin No Way Out 2001 3 Satges of Hell-One of the most intense and brutal matches of all time. Great wrestling throughout. HHH continues to show his phenominal selling abilities and gets potatoed along the way. This match also proved that Austin was indeed back even if only for one more run as WWF Champion.
2. Bret Hart-Im a little nervous about him getting in the ring at Mania but The Hitmans Matches from 93 to 97 were some of the best matches of all time. And the Hart Foundation revival of 1997 was pretty spectacular as well. The whole Canada vs. America thing was sweet.
vs. Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania XII-Obviously. This is my favorite match of all time. The endurance from both men is unreal and something that I don't think we will ever see replicated. True professionals.
vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin Wrestlemania 13-Again obviously. This match was a great combination of solid wrestling and classic brawling. They both pushed each other to the limit with The Hitman proving that he can wrestle a heel style once again.
3. Randy Savage-One of the greatest promo men of all time. Also one of the best heel main eventers of all time especially in the ring. The Macho Man carried most of his opponents bell to bell night after night.
w/ Zeus vs. Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake Summerslam 89-Randy Savage alone is the reason that this match is entertaining. He puts over both Hogan and Beefcake in the ring and ensures that Zeus wrestles very little.
vs. Ultimate Warrior Wrestlemania VII-Great storytelling and great work from both wrestlers as well. This is definitely the best Warrior match I have ever seen. Great energy from Savage and FIVE sick elbow drops delivered as well.
5. Kevin Nash-Overall I think that he is the best "Big Man" of all time. Great look, intimidating ring presence, and overall character appeal are just some of his attributes. One of the reasons I became addicted to wrestling.
vs. The Undertaker Wrestlemania XII-One of Takers best Mania matches of all time. A true Big Men match that delivered from start to finish. Nash shows why he is called Big Daddy Cool.
vs. Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania XI-May get some flack here but this is a great David vs. Goliath type match, only David is the heel. But Shawn makes it work. Great selling of the injured ribs by Nash. How about when Shawn gets caught coming off the top rope and then sidewalk slammed?
5. The Rock-Greatest promo man of all time. Period. Also he along with Hogan are the only two wrestlers that can play both heel and face flawlessly in my opinion. Great size and presence in the ring and could work well with just about anybody.
vs. Triple H vs. Big Show vs. Mick Foley Wrestlemania 2000-Underrated match in my opinion. I thought this was great especially with the McMahon in every corner aspect. Great main event feel and Rock kicks some ass in this match. It comes down to Rock and HHH with HHH retaining due to Vince turning on The Great One.
vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin Wrestlemania XIX-Their best, and unfortunately last match ever. Rock shows just how versitile he can be. Austin gives it everything he has it his last match and Rock goes over CLEAN. Talk about unexpected.
