I was just watching this match featuring Akebono and Rikishi: tinyurl.com/9vd4y7k and it made me think of this concept. What are some that you can think of that were good? I know Earthquake had at least a few. Also, Vader vs. Yokozuna was pretty entertaining and made Vader look like a beast. |

Viscera and Rikishi had a two minute fight at RR2000. Viscera looked like a complete monster.

Earthquake vs Tugboat and Earthquake vs Bossman were really solid matches. Also Afa and Dick Murdoch put on one hell of a match at a MSG house show that was a lesson in how to sell for any wrestler.

Yokozuna v. Mabel had two televised matches, one on Action Zone and one on In Your House 4.

Does Kingston vs Steen count?
I thought both encounters were great

Yokozuna v. Mabel had two televised matches, one on Action Zone and one on In Your House 4. The latter receiving the Torch award for Worst match of the year. And I paid to see that...yay me! |

Vader - Bossman (Guardian Angel) produced at least a couple of genuinely good matches in early-90s WCW.
I'd say the Kane-Albert IC title duo, but I don't think Kane counts as 'fat' (just big).

The Mark Henry vs Big Show series of matches were ones I enjoyed last year.

That recent match on RAW between Brodus Clay and Tensai was pretty good until Big Show interrupted it.

I only really like super heavyweight vs super heavyweight if it's a deathmatch. Don't know why but any deathmatch with 2 huge guys is entertaining.

Big guy vs Big guy - if done right - would have a sense of occasion about it. People like watching it. It won't have many arm-drags or flying head scissors but it has that crucial element that makes ALL forms of entertaining better.
The 'Holy f***, look at these two!' element. Can't recreate that. The matches might often suck but two 500lb guys going at it? I'm there!

Viscera and Rikishi had a two minute fight at RR2000. Viscera looked like a complete monster. Likewise, the King Kong Bundy - Mabel showdown from RR '95 is an underrated moment. One of the loudest crowd reactions that whole night. |

Big Show and Mark Henry had some good big man matches last year, though I wouldn't call them fat, especially Henry in the shape he was in that time (or at all, I value my life).

Matt Hardy and Tommy Dreamer had a pretty good Extreme Rules match for the ECW title back in 08.

Uncle Elmer v. King Kong Bundy at an early SNME. Including pre-match weigh-in where Uncle Elmer is holding a giant bucket of "Uncle Elmer's Fried Pig Parts."
