Matchups with the most great matches

[flowercity]

After The Elite and Death Triangle put on another banger, I was curious to see what matchups had the most great matches. To me, The Young Bucks and Lucha Bros have to be considered.

Who else should be considered? I thought Jericho and Mysterio could be a good one. Anytime they wrestled was awesome and both have been around so long to do it many times.

[CubsFan71]

Flair vs Dusty
Flair vs Steamboat

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

Depending on your tastes -

Mike Awesome Vs Masato Tanaka
Vader Vs Cactus Jack
Mick Foley (all personas) Vs Triple H

Lots of obvious ones that could be named. However, I discovered a new one (for me), just recently while watching through WCW '97.

Flair vs. Waltman. I'm even going to give most of the credit to Waltman, because he did such a great job at getting heat on himself and then going out and making Flair look like the man all those southern rasslin fans wanted to see. They had 3-4 matchups, as I recall, and great chemimstry.

[Bo Rida]

Any combo of E&C, Hardys and Dudleys.

Any of combo of Shield Vs Bryan (and his tag partners)

Foley Vs Taker is another good one.

I think to be considered you need at least a dozen great matches. Some awesome suggestions here

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

Dean Malenko vs Eddie Guerrero, spanning multiple companies

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Okada/Tanahashi, Aj Styles/John Cena, Misawa/Kawada and Ric Flair/Randy Savage come to mind with me for stars who had matches where some were better than others, but I never saw a disappointing encounter from the two.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Misawa & Kobashi vs. Kawada & Taue. Eight matches, as I recall one or two were never recorded, every one is worth seeing and one of them is the second best match of all time in my opinion.

If you include singles matches that happened during this tag feud, like Misawa/Kawada in 94 and 95, Misawa/Taue in 95, and Kobashi/Kawada in 95, this group is untouchable in my view. Even moreso if you count the Misawa & Akiyama team's continuation of the feud and dynamic with Kawada & Taue.

My boss and I were talking about this a while back, and we both agreed that anytime Keith Lee took on Dijakovic in NXT, it always delivered

[XIII]

Shield vs. Evolution. Think that was only a few matches though.

[thegame415]

Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
John Cena vs CM Punk
Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect

[MrElijah]

-Midnight Express vs. Rock N'Roll Express
-Hardyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Dudleyz
-Dean Malenko vs. Rey Jr.
-Vader vs. Sting

[WinOwensWin]

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. From ROH to current day, these guys never disappoint.

[agent817]

Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle. Their matches in 2005 were awesome. Wrestlemania 21, Vengeance 2005, and Raw Homecoming, they never disappointed.

Probably Flair-Steamboat. While some would save their full effort for PPV/TV, they apparently also regularly wrestled a bunch of classic 30-60 minute matches on live events even if the crowd wasn't big.

For instance, on March 18 1989 they wrestled two matches on the same day with both supposedly being great. Meltzer:

3/18 Landover, MD - Capital Centre "Steamboat pinned Flair in 32 minutes of a match which blew the top off the five star scale. This match was significantly better than their Chicago match and deserved something like 5½ to 6 stars as a fair grade. Those in the know were amazed at how good this match was, particularly when they realized they had another match later that night in Philadelphia (which wasn't as good, but was still a fantastic match)"

3/18 Philadelphia, PA - Civic Center "Steamboat pinned Flair in just over 30 minutes with the same finish they are doing everywhere--Flair gets the pin using the ropes, Luger tells the ref what happens, Windham comes out, they start brawling and Steamboat gets a quick pin ****¾"

[tntchamp]

Flair vs Steamboat
Stone Cold vs Bret Hart
Stone Cold vs The Rock
Misawa vs Kobashi
Punk vs Cena
Odka vs Omega
Bret Hart vs Owen Hart

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Misawa vs. Jun Akiyama was another guaranteed banger. Especially I think it was the April 1998 match where they open just hitting bombs on each other.

I could think of a few of my own, I'm sure, but I'd definitely have to agree with Awesome/Tanaka.

[Mozenrath]

Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask and RVD vs Jerry Lynn are certainly worth mention.

Rock and Triple H tended to deliver, as well.
