Obscure Matches

[RavingRendal]

If the WWE asked you which match/segment you could go back in time to film and put on a dvd which would it be?

Segment wise I would love to see the segment mentioned on Pick your poison where Jake had hogan on the snake pit and DDT'ed him to which the crowd started chanting "DDT!"

Matche(s) I would love to see is the Intercontinental Tournament that was ultimately won by Mr.Perfect. I think that would be a great thing to see.

There's this one segment in WCW which my forum name refers to, actually there was a few times it happened and I've ALWAYS wanted to get a hold of it, wasn't necessarily the match that I wanted to see itself, but when Glacier told Norman Smiley that he'd never have to worry about guys like Bam Bam Bigelow kicking his butt anymore, and that he had his back from then on, and then in a match between Bam Bam and Norman, Glacier made his entrance, and was taking his time high fiving the fans and showing off to the crowd while Bam Bam continued to beat on Smiley, then when the match was over and Bam Bam was on the stage, Glacier ran into the ring and went in a defensive stance and made it look like he scared Bam Bam away, if I remember it all correctly it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in wrestling and was never able to get video of it since.

Oh one that was on TV but I can never find is the speech Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz (aka MVP) gave blaming the fans for the baseball strike. That was a classic promo.

Hogan and Savage's circa 1995 "Darkside of Hulkamania" promo at Venice Beach, CA, featuring appearances from Mini-Snitsky and that one guy who rollerskates around playing guitar and singing.

Also, the "FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MEXICAN HARDCORE MATCH" between La Parka & Silver King and Mexico's Most Wanted from a 1999 episode of Nitro. The one where Schiavone and Heenan sound like they're totally drunk.

I recently found it online, but it'd be nice to see on DVD (maybe as a second Hardyz retrospective collection) segment where Matt Hardy V1 comes down for his match against Maven @ Armageddon '03, and Maven still isn't in the ring because Batista is in a bad mood or whatever, so he and Matt start fighting outside the ring, Matt beats up Maven, rolls him into the ring, where Batista beats him so badly he's ko'ed. So the refs tell Lillian that Maven can't fight and Matt wins by forefit. Matt won't stand for it so he gives Maven a Warrior-styled Body Splash and counts the pinfall on Maven himself, gets up, grabs the mic from Lillian and (while having one of the biggest shit-eating-grins ever, no less) announces: "AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH, MATT HARDY...V-ONEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

It's just so "WTF" that it's chuckle-worthy.

I've seen that match on youtube. They wouldn't shut up about it being a Mexican hardcore match it just cracked me up.

"Remember, this isn't just any hardcore match! It's a Falls Count Anywhere MEXICAN Hardcore Match!"

It was kinda annoying though, that match was really good for a WCW hardcore match and the announcers simply buried the whole thing.

I also want to see the hardcore Triple Threat Match between Raven, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Hak at WCW Uncensored '99, simply for some of the most mind-blowingly stupid (and consequently hilarious) commentary from Tenay, Schivaone, and The Brain. It's like they just didn't have any idea what to say for hardcore matches.

The funniest match I ever heard commentated was Shavonie, Rhodes and Hennan calling Harlem heat vs Public Enemy at unscensored. that was funny, Though Rhodes could make almost anything funny (see Belfast bruiser vs Steven Regal).
