Looking for some recommendations of great classic WWWF/WWF/WWE matches between 2 guys who weren't main eventers and didn't have a title on the line.
Got the idea after seeing Marty Jannetty vs Doink Best 2 out of 3 falls match listed on Raw and thinking why would they bother if no title was on the line? Turned out to be an amazing match (thanks to Doink still being Matt Borne at this point). Got me wondering what other hidden gems might be on the Network between two great workers from the undercard who were trying to steal the show from the main eventers and champions.

123-Kid vs Owen Hart at one of the King of the Rings, I forget which. It's a sprint, but a very good one.

Billy Kidman v Paul London at No Mercy 2004 is one of those great little matches that you rarely ever see referenced.

Ronnie Garvin Vs. Greg Valentine submission match from Royal Rumble 1990. Yes! Love that one. Like a mid-80s NWA match snuck onto a WWF PPV. |

No idea how it holds up, because it's been over 20 years since I've watched it, but I thought Owen Hart vs Edge at IYH Breakdown (1998) was tremendous.

There's this random Bradshaw/Savio Vega match on an early 98 Shotgun that's way better than it has any right to be.

These two must have beat the hell out of each other. They do. I think one of the Segunda Caida guys was tweeting about it last week. It’s a helluva slug fest! |

Mankind v HHH (in the dying days of his snob gimmick) in a cage match at summer slam 97. One of the last times we see the blue bars (bring them back!) too.

Jake Roberts vs Rick Martel at Mania 7 was lots of fun and they made a stip that would hinder most wrestlers work.
