Me and a buddy were talking earlier, and were thinking, If they booked the legendary match the same way but dropped the Ironman stipulation, would it be considered the greatest match of all time.
I mean it's damn near perfect, If they'd have made it a normal match. The thing was everyone new it was going to be an hour long. So there was no excitement for nearfalls or anything. Besides there was only one fall.
So if it had stayed the exact same match, but have normal rules(with an hour time limit) would you consider it the best match ever?

no. The psychology is all wrong for a non-iron man match. The point was that both men were going for a low scoring affair so they drug it out to start. Had it been a normal match, it would have been boring as hell.

The match was boring as hell.
IT was so slow and it didn't pick up till the end and by then it was still too eh.
The Rock/HHH iron man match was the best done Iron Man match i have seen. even with the screwy ending.
THis match is overrated as hell.

If it wasn't an Ironman match it wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining. For the record this is my favorite match of all-time.

Undertaker/Diesel is my WM12 moment  , one of my all-time favorites, though the title run Shawn had that began at WM12 is what solidified me as a fan, I watched way before, but that did it for me but Undertaker vs. Diesel, for some reason I love that match to this day |

The Rock/HHH iron man match was the best done Iron Man match i have seen. even with the screwy ending. THis match is overrated as hell. You mean the one match where they pretty much wrestled the exact same matches they always did, with one of them working on the other guys arm or leg only for the other one to completely ignore it when he takes over the match. After half an hour doing their regular routine, they did something else which was mainly getting ready for interference. That match wasn't a good iron man match at all. Totally overbooked, like every Rock and Triple H match. They were pretty much saying 'please don't fall asleep!! here is another pin fall!! and here is someone else interfering again!' |

It was also highly predictable, with Hogan-Andre, Hogan-Warrior, Flair-Savage, even Hart-Yoko x2....you didn't know who was going to win. Hart-Michaels, everybody pretty much knew they were pushing Shawn to the moon and Bret was doing the job.

Hart-Michaels, everybody pretty much knew they were pushing Shawn to the moon and Bret was doing the job. And because of that, having no pinfalls in the entire match made it much better. People were expecting Shawn to win and what happens. 60 minutes are gone, no wins or losses. Hart wins. But then the match gets restarted and within 2 minutes Micheals gives the fans the ending they expected to see. That is playing with the crowd, making them oooh and aaahh without doing what they were expecting and that is what a good pro-wrestler can do. |

It's quite possibly the most boring and most overrated match of all time. In my opinion. With Joe vs. Punk a close second.

Then again I was seven-year-old Bret Hart mark watching a VHS release of the match still thinking Hart would win even though I already knew Michaels was currently champ. |
