The Greatest Wrestling Match of All Time
This was one of the top three most important moments of my childhood:

Hahhahaha I was too young for that one I think.
I liked the Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels that was Bret's last match. An emotional one.
People can say what they want about "professional" wrestling but I have tons of great memories as a child watching this stuff. Sure we all know it's pretty much all fake but aren't most things that we watch on TV? I swear WWF is/was just a young man's form of the soap opera.
Edit: Awww man it was a bit edited. Still, Hogan was a great entertainer and you gotta love his facial expressions, etc.Last edited by d'Anconia; 06-13-2006 at 01:07 AM.

Hogan is 6'8" and Andre is 7'5", says the announcer?
Jeeeeez. They could at least make the exaggerations consistent.
Great match tho. I liked his feud with Killer Khan better tho.
And when Hulk fought Ultimate Warrior... that was my fave.Last edited by Relentless; 06-13-2006 at 06:24 AM.

I remember renting the tape and being so excited to watch it on my birthday. It was the match of my childhood as well!

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

They even said 6'8" like 3-4 times. I'd believe 6'4".

Well, you didn't specify Professional Wrestling...
So I gotta say the greatest match ever was when I won the TVL Championship.. coach needed me to jump up a weight class, so we could take the team championship.. I pinned my way though 4 wrestlers all weighing 15 lbs more then me. HAHA.. I thought I owned the world...
Otherwise, either this match or when the Ultimate Warrior beat Hogan (b/c he never lost) were the best/favorite of all time.
As for amateur.. either when Rulon Gardner beat that undefeated Russian ... or when Cael Sanderson won his fourth NCAA championship, going 159-0 in college.. that was amazing.Squat More! -- RIP Jesse .. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. -- Teddy Roosevelt

As a Hulkamaniac, I hated that match!! Originally Posted by Callahan

Coco Beware vs. Brutus the Barber was much more influential on the development of WWE (WWF).
Who are these Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant people you talk of.Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The Three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.

it also states hogan has 24" arms...Hah.

WWF wrestlemania in my opinion is NO where near "one of the greatest matches." hulk did a bodyslam. that was all.
My favs Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome @ HEatwave 98
Hayabusa Kenjii vs Rob Van Dam and Sabu
any WCW jericho,rey,benoit(or ecw),dean malenko,Tommy Dreamer, SUper Crazy,New Jack,THe Pitbulls,Rhyno in ECW,...the list goes on.
watch any match by any of them, and tell me WM 3 didnt suck ass.
and hogan was 6'6.Last edited by InkLot; 06-13-2006 at 05:11 PM.

Read the thread title! It was THE GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH OF ALL TIME. This isn't up for debate. Originally Posted by InkLot

READ MY POST!
I said the match sucked.

I wonder what the real stats on those two are?
I remember thinking that assisted or not you'd have to be godly strong to pull off that slam.The Reconstruction Project (Journal)
Age: 34, Height: 5'4, Weight: 185, BF: somewhere between 15 and 45%
Weightlifting Start Date: July 26, 2005 - Bench 95 x 6, Dead 110 x 8, Smith Squat 180 x 8
Bests: Bench 185 x 8, Dead 400 x 1, Zercher Squat 295 x 3
Stop thinking and go lift - Paul Stagg

Hulk Hogan was a real beast no doubt. And he really is 6'6. Andre was 7'4. He didnt stop growing until the day he died, which is why he died.
Andre was bigger then the big show.Last edited by InkLot; 06-13-2006 at 07:07 PM.
