That 5-Star match sucked

By Scott Keith on 25 October 2014

Are there any great matches (5-Star or 4-Star) you hate? For any reason… Kayfabe. The commentary. You got dumped midway through the match.

Personally, I cannot stand Steamboat-Savage from WrestleMania III.

I was 12 and a huge Ricky Steamboat fan when the throat belling occurred. I wanted REVENGE. I wanted Savage to be bloodied and battered; to be stretchered out, never to be seen again. Anything less would be a disappointment. As a result, I get irrationally pissed every time I it. I know it's a great match, but my 12-year-old self will have none of it.

​Hmm, interesting topic.
I really dislike watching the Bret v. Shawn Iron Man match, even though I know it's "great" in a technical sense. That would be my #1 choice.
British Bulldog losing the Euro title to Shawn at One Night Only is a great match where I was so disgusted by the politics involved that it ruined the match for me.
Those are the two that stand out for me. ​
