Bad match you like
By Scott Keith on 20 February 2024
Hi Scott
I was recently rewatching Triple H / Taker at Super Showdown, and whilst my opinion might be coloured by the fact that I was there live, I really don't think it's anywhere near as bad as it was considered to be by the reviewers ( you gave it half a star). In fact I'd go so far as to say that it's actually not bad at all for two broken down guys with a combined age of 102 (having said that, I've never been able to bring myself to watch the Crown Jewel tag match.)
Anyway, the question for you and the blog is : Are there any famously bad matches that you genuinely think are actually better than their reputation?
Keep up the good work!
People complain all the time about George Hackenschmidt doing too many flying mares to Frank Gotch and ruining the match with needless acrobatics, but I stand by my opinion that it's a classic.
