There have been a few Iron Man matches in WWE. My favorite Iron Man match is The Rock vs HHH at Judgment Day 2000.
The challenge with most Iron Man matches is that they don't mean much until approximately the final 10 minutes. Also, most matches feature a ton of rest holds. This match was an absolute war with few rest holds, and it was consistently fast paced. We saw different wrestling styles, and it wasn't finisher heavy like other Iron Man matches.
One of my favorite parts of this match was the ending. I will probably get heat for this because it was a bit sloppy. With the match tied at 5 falls each, a video hits the tron. It happens to be The Undertaker in his first appearance as The American Badass. Undertaker is my favorite wrestler, and although this by far wasn't his best gimmick, the shock value was awesome. He came down and destroyed The McMahon Family and Degeneration X. With about 5 seconds left, Undertaker loads up the tombstone on HHH. Although he hits the tombstone after time expires, Rock gets disqualified and HHH wins the title.
The crowd was great throughout, and it didn't drag like most Iron Man matches. What is your favorite Iron Man match in WWE? Poll forthcoming.
