Bam Bam has to be one of the best, if not the best big man wrestler ever. So underrated during his WWF days

King of the Ring 1993: Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect. I've always enjoyed this match over the SummerSlam 1991 match, even though a lot of the spots are the same. Just dig it a little more.

Steamboat vs Savage at WM3 and Steamboat vs Savage in Toronto about a month earlier
To be honest I actually probably prefer the Toronto match, as it has more of a 'revenge' feel to it with more neck work from both men among other things. Both very good matches though. My only problem with both matches is the amount of roll-ups Steamboat goes for given that he's after vengeance for what Savage did. I mean it makes sense for Savage to go after that many near falls as he wants to get out of dodge, but it just seems out of place having Steamboat trying to win like that under the circumstances. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I rationalized his going for the pinfall as a) the loss would be devastating for Savage b) he'll get revenge in a lumberjack or cage match c) Steamboat was a gentleman, and he worked within the rules. Those knife edge chops were revenge enough!

Ken Shamrock Vs. Val Venis St. Valentines Day Massacre 1999
First off, this may be my favourite all-round PPV ever, I just love it. This match is also just so damned great, Shamrock was an incredibly underrated superstar, same with Venis. And Bad Ass as guest ref, just a great all round match.

The Rock vs. Chris Jericho from No Mercy 2001.
Awesome match, and they had an equally awesome match at the Rumble as well.

Cena vs Punk MITB2011.
I know it's not 'Classic' in terms of age, but historically it has to fall into that category.
Very good match, unique in the sense that it seems to be almost entirely based around working the crowd, as opposed to it being the great technical clinic or 'storytelling' master class that I've heard it described as. The way I see it, the action was often sloppy, there was little psychology (to my eyes at least) aside from the brief 'White knight/Rogue' dynamic that only really came into play for the finish, however like I said this wasn't really what this match was about. It was about what IMO these two men do best, and that is creating a true spectacle, and sending the crowd into a frenzy, which they did to damn near perfection.
So due to my personal preferences towards psychology in wrestling, to me this will never be a 5 star match. What it was was sheer drama and excitement, backed up by a fantastic crowd, and one of (at this point) the hottest angles ever seen in WWE. Definitely a classic in my eyes, even if it isn't one of my favourites personally.

Watched WM 6 today. On Hogan Vs. Warrior and man, this match is great for the energy in the place alone. Lets face it, neither of these guys were great workers but this match delivers.

Decided to pop in the original WM. Tito Vs The Masked Executioner was actually pretty dang good. Can't believe Bundy and SD went by so fast.
I've seen this event several times and have never been crazy about it we'll see how my opinion fares now that I'm older.

Those guys were AWESOME workers!!! Who has made more money than those two? I also love the Tito match at WM I. I'm a big Buddy Rose mark.
