I think I could almost got the full 5 for the Steen vs Generico Final Battle match.

It's been about a year later and already it feels like such an iconic match.

Amazing year long build to an awesome story driven brawl that played on their past.

Even the fact that in storyline it wasn't apart of the show and the warning that Bobby Cruize gave the fans before the match.


The Ladder Match wasn't even close in my mind. Still a great match, but it didn't have anywhere near as much meaning, build or drama. Might of had crazier spots though.

Generico vs. Steen at FB10 is one of my all time favourite matches. Just watched it again and it just sucks all of the emotion out of you, and I've seen it a good seven or eight times. Amazing build up, amazing match and at tha rate ROH is going, amazing follow up as well. One of the easiest ***** i've ever given, to be honest.

Two more to add...

Ricky Steamboat vs “Nature Boy” Ric Flair - JCP 5/29/1984 - World Heavyweight Championship
A hidden gem in the Flair/Steamboat series. Possibly their best match. The only match that is on the same level is the Clash Of The Champions in 1989. They wrestled in front of a tough crowd that heckled the early stages of the match with chants of 'Flair's a queer' and 'Boring' during Steamboat's long headlock. In fear of losing the crowd, Flair escapes the headlock and the two do a brilliant two minute sequence. The crowd are now red-hot and after that short sequence, not one person was booing the action. That shows you how good these two men are. This was a stupidly exciting match that left me wondering what would happen next.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat vs Randy “Macho Man” Savage - WWF Wrestlemania III - Intercontinental Championship
I've always thought this match was overrated, but on this viewing, I loved it. So many nearfalls and so much action for a 15 minute match. Add on top of that a mental crowd and plenty of drama and you got yourself an all-time classic.

People have been pimping Savage/Steamboat as a "***** match" for about 25 years now. There's no way in Hell it's underrated.

I never thought it was THAT good, but I watched the entire feud again a couple years ago and it "clicked" for me at that point. It's a tremendous match. I watched it as part of a greatest WWF/E match ever poll and I think I had it at #3 in the end, which is WAAAAY higher than I would've had it a year earlier. The lead-in match from Toronto is excellent as well. Kind of kills the "Steamboat never brought the hate" argument that gets thrown at the Wrestlemania match (which is an argument I had made countless times myself), in that Steamboat brings the hate in the Toronto match and it doesn't get him shit. He busts Savage open, beats the shit out of him...and still loses. By the time Wrestlemania rolled around, it was time to try something else.


Danielson/Nigel from 6YA is likely my #1 match in ROH history. Probably Nigel's career performance. The way he riled up the ROH smarks to the point where they started a fucking "USA" chant is nuts.

Randy Savage vs Steamboat is amongst the most heralded matches, and it is probably Steamboat's most famous match.

I suppose you could say it is underrated in this thread since it did not get many mentions.


Randy Savage vs Steamboat just clicks, even though they don't do anything special, it's still a very breezy watch. It's overrated in some ways, but the two were on that night and they put on an entertaining performance.

Random rewatch:

Ric Flair vs. Sting (NWA, Clash Of The Champions I)

Simply, this is one of the best matches of all time. Period. Top 3 in NWA history, easily. This was 45 minutes of back-and-forth, balls to the walls action, great strategies, brilliant heel stuff, brilliant babyface reactions, this was about THE belt, this was the night when one big star of pro wrestling was born. Flair made Sting, it's simple as that. Flair made him look like a million bucks. Also, JJ Dillon was suspended in the cage above the ring, bcuz of the WWW screwjob. But even when alone, Flair still managed to keep the title somehow. He's a true wrestling genius. Also, Stinger is definitely one of the best babyfaces ever, the way that crowd cheered him was incredible, he controlled them easily, his comebacks were fucking awesome. 23 years later, this match is still great, five stars easily. Every time I watch this, it just gets better and better. As much as I love Flair/Steamer series from '89, this match is better than any of those. Flair and Steamer made for a perfect clash of the in-ring equals, but Flair and Sting was the clash of the characters, bigger than life. Stinger's babyface goodies make this one more entertaining that Flair/Steamer '89.
Rating: *****

The Enfocers (Arn Anderson & Larry Zbyszko) vs Dustin Rhodes & ??? - Clash Of The Champions XVII

Fuck star ratings. lol, but seriously...it's not that there's nothing wrong about this match, it's not that there's some huge upside that makes you overlook any flaw, it's just that every fucking thing they did was perfectly done. 15 minutes of 2 guys doing an amazing job at being heels (specially AA. like, HOLY SHIT WHY IS ARN ANDERSON SO FUCKING GOOD? it's not even fair), 1 young wrestler that wants to help but ends up screwing things up time and time again, and 1 guy who does such a great job as the FIP that I almost ended up screaming at my screen wanting the hot tag. The crowd was awesome and lost their collective shit everytime the heels got hit or if there was even a possibility for a tag. The icing on the cake was Jim Ross...damn I miss that guy.

I can't even remember all the matches I put on my first post in this thread, but if I have to write it again I'm damn sure adding this match.

Sheeit, that tag is awesome, but it's not better than Rockers/Orients. Well I wouldn't really argue with anyone that thought it was better, but it's not THAT much better. There's a Rockers/Brainbusters tag (don't remember which one specifically since they had about 4 million) that's about as good too, and I still think the Clique tag is tremendous.

after all this time I still don't get these Yeah/WCW exchanges
They keep me coming back to this thread. They're the Kevin Nash of this section.
