Off the top of my head, I can think of Benoit/Jericho (SummerSlam 2000) and Sheamus/Bryan (Extreme Rules 2012).

Flair/Steamboat

Some more im trying to think of, Hart Foundation/Demolition has always been a fave of mine.

You mean Angle/Benoit?

They had a 30 minute Ultimate Submission match (aka iron man with submission only) and a 3 stages of hell style 2/3 falls match

. And if you meant Lesnar/Angle, just Iron Man.

Also, add me to the list of people that don't like HHH/Austin

.

Edit: FUCK, how did I forget Flair/Steamboat? That's THE 2 out of 3 falls match. ***** and 4th greatest match of all time imo.

Also, Guerrero/Malenko and maybe Triple H/Rock (Fully Loaded).

The 3 stages of hell HBK/HHH is a great 2 of 3 falls match too. Dat Flair/Steamboat is #1 though. Shit was epic

Probably only about 3 of you who think that

.

Not the best 2/3 falls, but I just recently watched Glamour Girls Vs Jumping Bomb Angles and Hart Foundation/Duggan Vs Fabulous Rougeaou Brothers/Bravo from some old RR events and they are both very good

.

Despite being a massive Benoit fan, I must admit I didn't like his 2/3 falls match with Angle all that much. Just didn't have the awesomeness that surrounds most of their other matches.

And fuck, I NEED to check out one or more of these Flair/Steamboat matches. I keep hearing about them all the time but am yet to watch a single one.

Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Psicosis 2/3 falls match too, great stuff IMO.

I was watching one the other day, Austin/Rhodes from 1993 (think its Starrcade), really nice match, apart from one of the falls involves Rhodes getting DQ'd due to throwing Austin over the top rope, god i forgot about that rule back in those days of WCW, i had to smile lol.

Better worker, Bret or Benoit?

**Callamus** · 11-30-2012, 01:50 PM

Benoit. I prefer his intensity over Bret's more methodical style.

Choke2Death · 11-30-2012, 01:55 PM

I'm not very familiar with Bret's career other than a few matches but based on those, I easily go with Benoit.

Benoit is the greatest wrestler I've seen and a one-of-a-kind performer that we'll never get to see anything like again. So amazing to watch. Exciting wrestling style with a mix of power, technicality and an awesome flying headbutt to go with. And who can forget the INTENSITY? The way he performed his moves, with the aggression, speed and stiffness. He was never scared of taking risks and always gave fans their money's worth even when wrestling some terrible opponents. Great seller, ring psychology and very strong considering his size. He could German Suplex Mark Henry and Viscera!!!

And Bret is way too slow in comparison so I don't enjoy his work as much but he's still among the greatest without a doubt.
