Okay, here's the deal. Whenever we discuss worked shoots, the same three usually come up. I'm referring to CM Punk's just before Mitb 2011, Joey Styles in 2006 and Paul Heyman before Survivor Series 2001. If those three are indeed the three best examples of a worked shoot, what comes in fourth place? Could it be Vince Russo's at Bash at the Beach? What is it?
Thoughts?

I'm going with Scott Steiner/Ric Flair.
When I first saw that, my jaw hit the floor.

Matt Hardy and Edge...
...what?
But really, I enjoyed JBL and Eric Bischoff's ECW hate.

How is "I respect you, booker man!" not on this list? (Ignore this comment if this is WWE-only.) That was worked (although looked really, really real).

Even then, the gesture was so historically significant it deserves a mention. |

Even then, the gesture was so historically significant it deserves a mention. Fair enough but thinking about it, I don't think Pillman's comment was a work. I doubt WCW had any clue he was going to say that. |

Even then, the gesture was so historically significant it deserves a mention. Potato, potahto. Basically, anything involving a mic that was more than noticeable. I wouldn't count something that was supposed to be nothing more than a cheap shot in the middle of a long promo and easily missed. |

Not sure what you mean, but "I respect you" came from a match finish. |

Kevin Sullivan did a YouShoot a couple years back where he emphasized he and Pillman worked this promo and their animosity. Eben many wrestlers were confused. I believe they would call each other instead of talking face to face to keep the work going. |

Heyman and Lawler from Raw in 1997 has to be near the top for me, "How are the seesaws in Louisville?"

The entire NXT season 2 finale.
No one planned that, for sure.
I guess it wasn't "worked" though =P

At that time (June 2011) heel Zack Ryder took the mic before the match on Superstars against face Primo and acknowledged the crowd going crazy for him during that promo, in what was an unscripted segment.

From what I hear Sullivan is less then reputable when it comes to backstage WCW stories though, he'll say whatever he has to to defend himself and avoid embarrassment. |
