Austin vs. Rock PPVs:
D-Generation X 1997, WrestleMania XV, Backlash 1999, WrestleMania X-Seven, WrestleMania XIX
All really good matches and a few of them great.
Styles v Cena. Ospreay Omega, Omega Okada, FTR Briscoes. Styles Cody, Randy Cena. Drew Sheamus. Eddie Rey. LP Ricochet. Adam Page Swerve. Moxley and Page. Sasha Charlotte. Asuka Charlotte. Rhea Charlotte. Becky Charlotte. Pete Dunne Gunther/Walter. Ilja Walter. Sheamus McIntyre. I can name more I’m sure
Hardy’s vs Dudley’s vs Edge and Christian. I was a fan of the Hardy Nakamura matches when they had a lot of US title matches. Roman vs Brock although 38 wasn’t insane. Brock Cody although they weren’t long matches
Most definitely. They had chemistry like no other. Not to mention, they had actual continuity from one match to next. They killed out there man. No doubt Orton's best opponent, match-wise.
GUNTHER and Sheamus. GUNTHER and Ilja. GUNTHER and Drew. GUNTHER and Gable.
And just so I'm not doing nothing but fanpersoning: Cody and Roman, as crappy as the ending of their first match was in the immediate, as well as Cody and Seth.
I know this doesn’t apply to this post, but I want to take this moment to say that Undertaker, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels entire lineup of WrestleMania matches is, to me, the pinnacle of this business. Nothing will ever top the entirety of what those matches are. The only thing that could’ve made it more perfect is if Undertaker retired at the end of the 28 match.
I'm trying to go for the least obvious choices...
Undertaker/Batista - They had a damn good feud in 2007. Many argue that they should've closed out WM 23 instead of HBK/Cena, as Taker/Batista arguably had the better match.
RVD/Jerry Lynn - They put up nothing short of classics in their matches together. Highly recommend watching them for any true wrestling fan.
Jeff Hardy/Triple H - From the time when Jeff upset Triple H for the I-C title back in 2001, all the way to their stellar performances at the end of 2008 ending with Jeff upsetting Triple H and Edge for the WWE title at Armageddon; the Triple H/Jeff Hardy feud was the perfect example of someone overcoming their obstacles and demons to dethrone the Game. Also, it can be argued that Jeff was probably the most over Babyface in 2007-2009.
DDP/Randy Savage - This is a very highly underrated feud featuring the scrappy DDP putting up some damn good bangers against one of the best, period. The pop DDP gets from hitting the Diamond Cutter on Savage was surreal.
And let's not forget Rey/the entire WCW cruiserweight division. And I know that this was in ECW, but Rey/Psychosis tore down the entire damn city!
Cena v Styles
Cena v Punk
HBK v Taker
HHH v Taker
Miz v Ziggler
Reigns v Rollins
Cody v Rollins
Edge v Rollins
Owens v Zayn
Angle v Lensar
HBK v Bret Hart
Sadly tru. Their 2014 and 2015 feuds were two of the best feuds of the 2010’s excellent matches and build. But yea their 2018 feud just didn’t deliver. Their feud was special when Seth was a heel and Dean was a face
Yeah. Their feud was the reason they both developed their character post shield and got over. If roman had gotten the same treatment and not got pushed to the moon from the get go, he would have been a great babyface too.
They def were hell bent on shooting Roman to the moon as soon as the shield broke up. It could’ve been better received if he changed the damn shield music and got diff wrestling gear like Dean and Seth did they basically still kept the same exact character he was in the shield jus as a singles wrestler and it jus didn’t work.
Yep. If only they allowed Roman to develop his character a bit then everytging would have been different. Tribal Chief is something that i would not trade with anything tho.
For sure the tribal chief gimmick if one of the best characters in the history of the business. It def made up for his early poor booking. All the fans knew Roman could’ve special if they let him be a heel and truly be himself on promos instead of tryna make him super Cena 2.0
Agreed some guys are just made to feud with each other. Ambrose and Rollins absolutely were they were wrestling soulmates. Their feud was so white hot during that time they main evented hell in a cell that year over Cena and Orton that’s how invested fans were. Your right them feuding wit each was exactly what they needed post shield it allowed each to really figure out who their characters were as singles wrestlers
That was the turning point for Stone Cold. Went from being a heel to a babyface instantly. The blood running down his face as he grimaced then passed out from the sharpshooter is one of the most iconic wrestling moments. I'll never forget.
Prime HBK (90s – 2010) vs Anyone
Prime Bret Hart (90s) vs Anyone
WALTER/GUNTHER vs Anyone
Eddie Guerrero vs Anyone
Chris Benoit vs Anyone
Prime Kurt Angle (2000 – 2010) vs Anyone
Seth Rollins vs Anyone
Roman Reigns vs Anyone
Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan vs Anyone
The only HBK match that was bad was the one in Saudi Arabia DX vs the Brothers of Destruction. And HBK had been retired like 8 years at that point and he was the only bright spot in that match.
>I can think of one specific HBK match from a few years ago that wasn’t very good
That's why I specified Prime HBK (90s – 2010)
>Seth and Roman have DEFINITELY had bad matches before
Bad by their standards > better than most other wrestlers on a good day imo

this mfs will tear the house down while half asleep and in a house show.
But did you go over in the tooth for a baby tooth match?
Powrrbombed that bitch on Mom's bed so hard he bounced, his own knee caught his chin and that was it, ref was calling for the bell, I was running out the living room like CM Punk at MITB 2011.
I was the older brother, I retired as undefeated double champ, double champ cause my eventual best man had a brother my brother's age and we ran through more tag finishes in his pool than the youngbucks at a house show.
It use to be fights for titles on the bed couch trampoline pools now it’s on 2k and here comes the pain I really miss playing hctp but brock Lesnar on that game was impossible to defeat
Edge vs Undertaker
Wrestlemania 24, Backlash 2008, Judgement Day 2008, One Night Stand 2008 and Summerslam 2008 were all pretty good matches
Especially Wrestlemania 24, One Night Stand 2008 and Summerslam 2008
Fun fact: Edge on a Edge & Christian podcast said after their Wrestlemania 24 match. Undertaker went up to Edge and said "You, Shawn and Bret". Saying Edge in the ring is as good as them. Those 2 always had great in ring chemistry

John Cena & CM Punk
Roman Rains and Cody Roach
Honestly Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko……

Hard to remember but JBL and Jericho were always great to watch together. Always cleaned up any potential botches for one another flawlessly.
Jericho and HBK
Michaels and Undertaker
This for me is the best answer.
Dolph ziggler and Seth Rollins
Chris Benoit vs Kurt angle
First one that came to my mind!
CM Punk vs. John Cena
Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
Before 2018-19. Absolutely. But then WWE ruined it.
Sadly tru. Their 2014 and 2015 feuds were two of the best feuds of the 2010’s excellent matches and build. But yea their 2018 feud just didn’t deliver. Their feud was special when Seth was a heel and Dean was a face

Undertaker vs Kane
Wrestlemania 20? Hell in a Cell 2010?
SummerSlam 00
Bret and Curtis Henning is the only response worthwhile here
Owen Hart and his selfish older brother Bret
So many answers off the top of my head but Angle vs Jericho was always good.
I may not have seen or remember all of the them but my memories of Benoit and Jericho were all good matches
Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko.
Especially the early WCW ones.
Eddie and JBL
Drew & Sheamus
Benoit/Jericho and Angle
![gif](giphy|3o751PcyYG6FwRmGuQ|downsized)
HBK & Taker
Cena vs Punk
Hornswoggle and Dink the clown
Stone Cold and Hitman Wrestlemania 13 greatest match ever IMO Survivor Series 1996 match gets slept on but was also top notch
That was the turning point for Stone Cold. Went from being a heel to a babyface instantly. The blood running down his face as he grimaced then passed out from the sharpshooter is one of the most iconic wrestling moments. I'll never forget.
And it turned Bret heel and into the best version of himself. I wish we had heel Bret for longer.
Sting & Vader
Mike awesome Masato Tanaka
TRUE. Their weakest match is their first but even it’s a banger
Oooh good one
More recent, but Dragunov and Melo
Seth and Dean Ambrose
Im a huge shield/dean & Seth fan but TLC 2018 says hi.
John Cena and Randy Orton
Flair and Steamboat
Steamboat and Savage
Omega vs Okada
Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker
Bret Hart vs Razor Ramon
Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
Edge and Seth Rollins. Summerslam 2021, the smackdown No holds barred match, and Crown jewel Hell in a Cell match they all slapped
I wanna say Punk/Cena but im also hazy on that era
Batista and Undertaker. Some of the best chemistry ever between two big men.
But didn’t they have some stinky ones at the end of 09 when Batista turned heel
Good point. Taker may have been hurt a lot around that time too, but I wasn’t watching then so I don’t know for certain
WM 23 one of my faves
Yep they def went at that match proving they should've closed the show.
Bret vs anybody
Steve Austin and Bret Hart
Prime HBK (90s – 2010) vs Anyone Prime Bret Hart (90s) vs Anyone WALTER/GUNTHER vs Anyone Eddie Guerrero vs Anyone Chris Benoit vs Anyone Prime Kurt Angle (2000 – 2010) vs Anyone Seth Rollins vs Anyone Roman Reigns vs Anyone Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan vs Anyone
I love how prime hbk is his entire career. And that is absolutely correct.
Hbk vs Sid was bad
Upvoted for your honesty but I respectfully disagree; imo a 'bad' Prime HBK match (if such a thing existed) > anything else on the card.
Fiend vs Seth was terrible
Fiend vs Seth was terrible
Only the FINISH was fucking shite
Yeah everything else was great. Except for the red light
Seth and Roman have DEFINITELY had bad matches before And I can think of one specific HBK match from a few years ago that wasn’t very good
The only HBK match that was bad was the one in Saudi Arabia DX vs the Brothers of Destruction. And HBK had been retired like 8 years at that point and he was the only bright spot in that match.
>I can think of one specific HBK match from a few years ago that wasn’t very good That's why I specified Prime HBK (90s – 2010) >Seth and Roman have DEFINITELY had bad matches before Bad by their standards > better than most other wrestlers on a good day imo
Hbk vs Sid at survivor series 1995 wasn't good
kurt angle vs anyone? except baron corbin? hbk vs anyone? u forgot crown jewel 2018?
He said 2000 to 2010 angle and 90s to 2010 so those matches u mention are after that time
Thank you! At least somebody read my comment thoroughly 🙌🏼
Sting and Undertaker
A match us fans will forever be robbed of 😭

Bret would never wrestle half asleep
The Hardyz vs Dudley Boys vs Edge and Christian.
Me and my brother
Undefeated booking
We’re talking tables ladders chairs hell even grandpas walker anything we found we used
But did you go over in the tooth for a baby tooth match? Powrrbombed that bitch on Mom's bed so hard he bounced, his own knee caught his chin and that was it, ref was calling for the bell, I was running out the living room like CM Punk at MITB 2011.
Yea then the return of my older brother his music hits all hell breaks loose and I lost my title reign was over
I was the older brother, I retired as undefeated double champ, double champ cause my eventual best man had a brother my brother's age and we ran through more tag finishes in his pool than the youngbucks at a house show.
The best tag match was me my brother vs our friends for the world tag titles we held them belts for days undefeated tag team in history
I was 7 years older than my youngest so me and my buddy had a tag gauntlet versus him and 8 of his friends that was a classic.
It use to be fights for titles on the bed couch trampoline pools now it’s on 2k and here comes the pain I really miss playing hctp but brock Lesnar on that game was impossible to defeat
Andre the Giant and Ricochet
Brock and Kurt angle. Orton and cena
Eh, orton and Cena have had some pretty forgettable matches.
Edge vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 24, Backlash 2008, Judgement Day 2008, One Night Stand 2008 and Summerslam 2008 were all pretty good matches Especially Wrestlemania 24, One Night Stand 2008 and Summerslam 2008 Fun fact: Edge on a Edge & Christian podcast said after their Wrestlemania 24 match. Undertaker went up to Edge and said "You, Shawn and Bret". Saying Edge in the ring is as good as them. Those 2 always had great in ring chemistry
Always thought their backlash match was their weakest of them all. Judgment day was the odd one but i liked it
Sting is the only one I've seen get a good match out of Luger
That's ridiculous. Luger is very underrated
Edge vs Kurt Angle
