The Top 20 Matches Of...Week 4 (Vote Now!)

[Waffel113]

(This week's topic was selected at random by bob.)

Special Note: I am extending the deadline to 8 PM Saturday night to make up for not posting this thread yesterday.

DA RULES:

1. Specify which match you're talking about when you vote. 'Cena vs. Orton' isn't very helpful considering how many times they've wrestled in the past.

2. While I'm sure the house show match you saw between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose was fantastic, please keep your votes to televised matches.

3. Send your votes in a top 10 format. #1 is 10 points, #2 is 9 points, and so on. If you can't choose between two or more matches, bust out a coin and start flipping.

4. As a basic rule, only matches from WWE, WCW, ECW and TNA are to be permitted. This might change in the future.

5. Deadline for ballots is next Friday at 8 PM EST, the start of SmackDown. Results will be calculated/counted down the following day, Sunday, and into the week if I'm lazy extenuating circumstances prevent the countdown from being finished before then.

So who's up in Week Four? He is one of the iconic wrestlers of the 21st Century. One half of an all-time great tag team, he helped popularize the TLC Match. He is an 11-time WWE or World Champion in his career, a tag team legend, the first-ever Money in the Bank winner, a Royal Rumble winner, and one of only two men to successfully cash in the Money in the Bank contract twice.

He is The Ultimate Opportunist, The Rated-R Superstar, and currently features on Syfy's Haven.

It's possible that he's sitting at home eating ice cream, as he said he would when he retired.

He is...



Edge

Previous results:
Week 1: John Cena
Week 2: The Big Show
Week 3: Rey Mysterio

Huzah! The series lives! Edge should be a little easier to construct a list for than Rey me thinks.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

And sent

- 10 ppv matches
- 3 tag matches
- Only 1 match doesn't have a repeat opponent at all in it

I have my 10 matches picked out, but haven't decided the order

[Crappler El 0 M]

Here are some notes about my list:

-9 PPV matches. 1 TV match.
-Three one-on-one matches.
-Only one appearance by the dark minister. Also only one appearance by the Olympian and the king of mystery.
-His blood brother appears in exactly half of the matches on the list.
-One match from the '90s. No matches from the 2010s.

sent list

lots of gimmick matches
equal parts tag matches and singles matches
1 match on free tv
4 from the showcase of the immortals

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

8 PPV matches
2 TV matches, both RAW
7 Title matches (2 World Heavyweight, 1 WWE Title, 1 Intercontinental, 1 WWE Tag Team (SmackDown!), and 2 World Tag Team)
6 Gimmick matches
4 Ladder matches
Matches range from 2000-2009

[jdsnelson]

-8 matches are gimmick matches involving tables, ladders, chairs, cages, etc.
-4 title matches for the WWE, Tag Team and Intercontinental titles
-6 matches are one on one, the rest feature 3 or more people
-4 matches from the big 4, 5 from other PPVs (one PPV twice) and one Smackdown match

I had a hard time with this list. I started with 18 and it was VERY difficult to narrow that down. I think 6 of the 8 I cut have a good chance of making the top 20, some probably the top 10 and even a couple the top 5. I just had to give some love to some of these other matches.

[Waffel113]

We have 8 so far. Keep it up!

[MikeyMania]

Five one on one matches.
One regular tag team match.
Four matches featuring six men and ladders.
Ladders pop up in eight of the matches but only six have something hanging above the ring.
Three World Tag Team Championship matches - all with the same partner and opponents.
One WWE Tag Team Championship match.
Two WWE Championship matches with the same stipulation.
Eight PPV matches including four WrestleManias and two SummerSlams.
One match from Raw, one match from SmackDown.
Matches range from 2000 to 2008.
Fifteen unique opponents.
Seven wins, three losses.

[Manute Bol]

Edge really is the king of the gimmick match. From the 10 I voted for, here is the breakdown of stipulations:

5 TLC Matches
2 Ladder Matches
1 Hardcore Match
1 No Disqualification Match
1 match without a stipulation

Additionally:
-Only 4 were one on one matches, with the rest being tag matches, three ways, and four ways.
-Edge is 6-4 in the matches I voted for.
-3 WrestleMania matches.
-2 Smackdown matches, 1 RAW

[Waffel113]

That should put us at 10 if my counting is right, with just over 6 hours left. Keep it up!

I look forward to the PM asking me to tally things up.
