Matches with a great (or famous) reputation — but you can’t figure out why
By Scott Keith on 6 July 2020
Hey Scott,
Your recent GAB90 post got me thinking about matches considered great or highly influential, but it's more about revisionist history. I think The Steiners/Nasty Boys have a match like this in WCW. Another that comes to mind is Taker/Hardy Ladder Match from 2002. Like, it was okay but not this classic people remember it as.
Curious which matches are like that for you or the blog?
Yeah Jeff-Undertaker is the big one for me. I really liked Steiners vs Nasties at the time so I can understand that one, actually.
Counterpoint: How about famously BAD matches that people watched after the fact and didn’t get the hate for?
