10 Great Wrestling Performances (No One Ever Talks About)

[@brandonperry5011]

Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy at WWF InVasion. One of my favourites from the invasion angle!

[@brandonperry5011]

Or even their title unification match from Raw

[@rex788]

Good choice!!!

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Thank you for recognizing Harper vs. Ziggler from TLC 2014, a match that I feel like nobody but me remembers. I would also like to give Triple H vs. Dean Ambrose from Roadblock 2016 as another "Nobody but me remembers how great this was" match.

[@maxvekich2094]

I reference this match a lot to my friends and same, most don't recall it taking place but it really is a hell of a work horse match

[@dripskylark6054]

Trips vs Dean was a surprisingly great match. The action was ok but that crowd made the match even better

[@leonelcardenas5847]

I saw some list that mentioned Harper vs Ziggler, and I'm so glad I looked for it. Loved a 1 on 1 match between them, but the ladder match was a bit more exciting. Hopefully I'm not thinking of a different match, lol.

[@margegarland7635]

Oooh you said the b name. Vince not gonna like you. Lol

[@cyrax94]

Triple H vs Edge on RAW in 2005 before WM21 Such an underrated classic.

[@ebransc09]

Since you’re going WWE only: Ladder matches of HHH-Rock & Benoit-Jericho, Harper/Rowan vs Usos, Ziggler v. Miz

[@Warraxbaa]

A more recent one but John Morrison carried the ever living hell out of the Bad Bunny match at mania. I stand firm in saying he is the reason that match was as good as it was. Bunny doesn't hit the falcon arrow or the destroyer without Morrison and his insane athletic prowess. Bunny and Priest got the rub, but Morrison was the best performer of the 4 on the night.

[@ht82smash42]

Might be too recent, but Damien Priest vs. Killian Dain vs. Pete Dunne at Takeover: War Games 2019 is another one. Admittedly, I liked it more than the War Games matches

[@LexingtonDeville984]

That’s a very bold statement! All three men put on a solid triple threat that night. Even if the event was overshadowed by Rhea Ripley becoming Shayna Baszler’s krytponite and Kevin Owens getting the pop of the night.

[@markabel5479]

That Fully Loaded Match was the first pay per view match I ever watched. It still sticks with me

[@waynecarter2169]

Ric Flair Vs Great Muta in the round robin tournament at Starrcade 1989. Muta was a heel at the time but after his first two matches against Sting and Luger he was starting to get over with the fans and they were fully behind him in his match against Flair. Very underrated match from two absolute masters.

[@LA-ze1os]

Should of add D.Bryan vs Sheamus, best 2 out of 3 falls match, Extreme Rules 2012 for the World Heavyweight Belt.

[@GrayMoe]

MJF vs DDP Bash at the Beach 2020 was great and it shows DDP at the age of 62 could still go

[@SESauvie]

I believe also on that same Fully Loaded show, Rikishi and Val Venis had a cage match where both put out a shockingly good performance.

[@masonscott2440]

Very true

[@ht82smash42]

Too bad it had a screwy finish. Rikishi jumped off the cage and still lost

[@loufaulk6812]

It's funny how the wwe video games storylines are better than the actual TV storylines

[@josh-lv6wx]

In the video games you don't have to deal with attitudes and personal agendas

[@cesarmounts3941]

And much less rematches lol

[@ViceJupiter]

Unless you've gone deep in the well or a fan of one, or both, of these wrestlers: Shelton Benjamin v Chris Jericho at Backlash 05. It was great for what it was & it'll always be overshadowed by the ending of Benjamin v Michaels on RAW that following night.

[@sklages_82]

Benjamin vs Christian in that ladder match

[@siegfriedc2332]

Made my cousin a fan of Shelton after we watched Backlash together.

[@Handsome_Black]

Luke Harper had so many bangers lol. Remember shield VS wyatts at EC 2014? Best 6 man tag I've ever seen

[@sammysmartwizch3184]

Ik this may sound stupid given what WWE marketed it as, I don't think people actually realize how good Edge vs Orton at Baclash 2020 was. With the ridiculous promotional tactics, most people don't seem to acknowledge the excellent match.

[@havensinclair3832]

I’m glad you brought up American Alpha vs The Revival. That was one of my favourite tag team matches I’ve seen.

[@KoSBDD024]

That tlc 14 ladder match was badass one of a few matches I still remember from my live in crowd viewings

[@thorman638]

Moxley vs Darby was a banger

[@Handsome_Black]

Wasn't it one of the first episodes of Dynamite too?

[@liontasouou]

Absolutely love the HHH-Y2J last man standing match. Fully loaded was one of the first ppvs I found on my video store when I was getting into wrestling, and that match blew me away

[@siegfriedc2332]

Remember watching that show as a kid back when it happened. Loved it back then, and even today i still have fond memories of the HHH/Jericho match.

[@jacobpitsenbarger4763]

That Harper/Ziggy ladder match was the match of the night. Watching it live it was a show stealer. Also, that Foley HHH cage match also saw Mankind hit an elbow drop from the top of the cage!

[@TJDylan]

I was there for Harper’s ladder match. Match of the night for sure

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Chris Jericho is the G O A T

[@shuriken1691]

I could easily remake this list with just Al Snow entries

[@Handsome_Black]

Ricochet VS Johnny Gargano at Takeover Phoenix. Holy. Shit.

[@LexingtonDeville984]

Jericho/Triple H at Fully Loaded 2000 was amazing.

[@jmkenola]

Shane McMahon and Test at Summerslam 99

[@sklages_82]

The Feud between the rock and Jericho had some good stuff

[@forcey85]

Completely agree with triple h vs jericho, loved that match

[@MrBlakeD82]

Jericho vs HHH from Fully Loaded 2000 is one of my all time favorite matches. Glad to see it get some respect.

[@raydiabolico]

AJ Styles vs Luke Harper. I dont remember it very well but it was a time that vince said Harper wasnt ready. Harper aka brodie lee was so awesome an agile for a big guy

[@chriszapchris]

Mankind vs Shawn Michaels - In Your House is another great one

[@CBesRun]

Fully Loaded 2000 is an overlooked event. So many great matches, and it was obvious the Wwe we’re looking to elevate Jericho, Angle, and Benoit

[@Mr.smiley_face]

Actually Mankind didn’t beat Triple H in the steel cage, it was Dude Love.

[@Junior41180]

He was clearly dressed as mankind, did I miss something 🤔

[@ohionative5237]

@@Junior41180 right at the end of the match just before mankind climbed out and won. He change personas over to Dude Love. They even played Dude Loves music after his victory.

I love the Jericho and Steamboat storyline, especially with what Jericho did for him at the last house show they did together.

[@josh-lv6wx]

Wild Pegasus (Chris Beniot) vs Lionheart (Chris Jericho) December 13, 1995. You're welcome

[@Mk-fg9zf]

‘Hell in a cell 2012’ when it says 2011....

A personal fav of mine is HBK vs HHH at Summerslam '02. I used to watch that match CONSTANTLY growing up

[@stupidsquirrel12]

Their Bad Blood match as well!

[@justinbonds2002]

Speaking of Bray... Isn't he only a United States title run or intercontinental title run away from being a grand slam champion. 1X WWE champion, 2X universal champion, And I believe a run with both the raw and smackdown tag team championships

[@sklages_82]

I dont know if any one remembers back in the 2002 or 2003 between the no mercy paper view of wwe of the tag team tournament then when Kurt and Benoit teamed up and edge and Ray Mysterio for the tag title at no mercy was damn good

[@ht82smash42]

Yep

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

New list idea: 10 Great Wrestling Performances (No One Ever Talks About... For The Right Reason) My entry for this list: Sting Vs Seth Rollins: Night Of Champions Yes, everyone talks about the "career ending" injury to the Icon. But no one ever really brings up his performance prior to the infamous bucklebomb. Sting was keeping pace with the athlete half his age, even outdoing him in many spots.

[@strangerde2709]

I'm so glad that Bray Wyatts tag team with Roman Reigns got put on this list because that shit was insane, and it lives in my head constantly

[@sspaay]

Billy Kidman v. Rey Mysterio v, Juventud Guererra Starcade 98, Check it out if you can find it.

[@sklages_82]

And of course at the raw paper view of the first elimination chamber back in 2002 the under card even before the main event was I think better than the main event and if you all go back and watch the 3 way tag match was sick

[@Gage222]

August 2018 Roman vs Finn balor for the universal title... great match and the ending sequence was so cool

[@edwinperez4509]

A lot of 205 Live no DQ matches. Particular Tozawa vs Kendrick
