Their Best Match

[Nate DaMac]

Simple enough. I'm going to rattle off a bunch of names and you tell me what their best match was. Only give one answer per wrestler, don't be an indecisive douche. You don't have to answer for each one unless you choose to an you can add other wrestlers if you please.

Edge
Triple H
Eddie Guerrero
CM Punk
The Rock
Undertaker
Chris Jericho
Randy Savage
Steve Austin
Kurt Angle
John Cena
Ric Flair
Christian
Hulk Hogan
Chris Benoit
Sting
Daniel Bryan
RVD
Goldberg
Kane
Shawn Michaels
Randy Orton
Scott Hall
The Ultimate Warrior
Ricky Steamboat
Rey Mysterio Jr.
Sean Waltman
Jeff Hardy

No real reason to do this, I just want to see your opinions.

 

[three count bout]

Great Thread!

For Scott Hall I'll go with him and HBK in the Ladder match. Man remember when the IC title mattered?

CM Punk: MITB Vs Cena. This match propelled him to the top of the heap..well and a pipebomb.

Sting: Hogan Starcade, simply a huge moment for WCW screwy finishes aside.

These guys may have had better technical matches throughout their careers but I felt these were important matches.

Sounds fun.

Angle has a fuck-ton of great matches. Benoit, HBK, Undertaker, AJ Styles, Guerrero, Joe, Lesnar and Austin all immediately spring to my mind.

[Hard Hit Prince]

For Warrior I guess I'm going with Randy Savage as far as in-ring working goes. SummerSlam. It always had a soft spot for me at least.

Undertaker's best match to me was against Triple H in that "End of An Era". As much as I enjoyed HBK v. Taker, it didn't have the same feeling of nostalgia and awesomeness for me as The End of An Era HIAC match had.

CM Punk was John Cena and vice versa at MITB. A recent classic! Good thread, can't wait to read other answers!

[Nate DaMac]

I had Matt Hardy's Cage Match with Edge his best match but its tough to argue with either of those.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

I went with Mysterio because I remembered the entire Hardy/Cruiserweight angle which was hilarious.
