Thread 18629569

For the sake of the thread, this will be mainly televised/video-recorded matches
Wrestlers that were lesser-known at the time or under a different gimmick are acceptable
House show matches that aren't on video are also acceptable if they're well-sourced:

Will Ospreay vs Vader was a thing

Well if we're ignoring differences in gimmicks and power levels at the time, then technically Kane vs. Ultimate Warrior happened

Do you think we are going to have these kinds of matchups in the future? When was the last time they brought in talent from previous generations to work a few matches? Who would even stand out from the 2000s and 2010s to bring in?

>>18629904
In the slopshop? Afraid no. AEW is a trove of these wacky matchups though.

>>18629878
Nah the pajeet actually uploaded the full segment whereas you linked to a 3 minute clip so stop shilling the official WWE channel for free you lame faggot. WWE videos are automatically demonetized anyway

>>18629936
wwe just did santino vs ethan page tho

>>18629936
one of my faves before he became such a regular was Shibata vs Orange Cassidy with Mike Tyson on commentary

I still can't believe that not only was Ultimate Warrior vs. Orlando Jordan a thing, but it was also Warrior's last match

>>18629948
wow what a generational clash lmfao

>>18630063

>WWE videos are automatically demonetized anyway
you are an absolute retard
pajeets are building their channel with WWE videos and then sell them to some influencer, making money that way

>>18630105
>singles matches between wrestlers known from different eras/companies
Shawn Michaels is from the Golden, New Generation, & Attitude Era of wrestling, John Cena is from the 2000s, or "Ruthless Aggression" Era of wrestling retard.

Bob Backlund having a PPV singles match against Alex Shelley of the Motor City Machine Guns in 2007 TNA is fun to think about
He was only 57, working on TV at that age in 2025 means you'll be getting ready to leave your AEW main eventer run for a huge return pop at the Royal Rumble

>>18629569 (OP)
Sandman had a match with Nash in WCW too

>>18631156
Not the first time Nash was involved in a bloody brawl with sand folks.

>>18630187
To anon’s defense, Micheals went hard in the ruthless aggression era. So much so, you could say his best work was in that era and you’d think he was a ruthless aggression era wrestler with how good he was in that time period

It's a tag match but the Headbangers vs. the Usos happened in 2016

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WgGXnb-sz80

Samoa Joe vs. Essa Rios in WWE, in 2001
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9zEPjJksg4

>>18630072
>got to be Warrior's last opponent in his retirement match
>got to be second-in-command to the WWE champion while JBL held the belt
>feuded with Cena just as he became the top guy in WWE, even beat Cena for the US title and was later Cena's first-ever opponent as WWE champion
>had programs with Undertaker and Benoit, even got a PPV victory over Benoit
>also had a feud with Orton and Booker T
You know, for a forgettable gay black midcarder from the early 2000s, this motherfucker achieved a lot in his wrestling career

90s Japan has some interesting combinations because people who were there ended up peaking in US at very different times.

So then you have Chris Benoit tagging with Ludvig Borga against Hashimoto and Sasake.

Pat "Bomber" Roach, 1970s British star who went on to become an actor in the Indiana Jones series, vs a very very young Bret Hart

>>18631451
definitely a gay magazine

>>18631235
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQPgxCTPDVE
And the other way round, George Steele vs Headbanger Mosh in 1999.

Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino in 2001 ECW is pretty cool

Dolph Ziggler vs Sgt Slaughter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHdIziMd2Fk

>>18631178
Speaking of Jannetty, don't forget The Rockers vs. La Resistance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7oHz7HBXSQ
Not even an HBGay fan, but it was cool to see him and Marty Jannetty team up again for one night. They even used the old entrance music

>>18630187
HBK spent more time in the ruthless aggression era than he did in the new generation era. They also main evented Wrestlemania together, so your argument is invalid.

AJ Styles tags against Disco Inferno and Alex Wright

https://youtu.be/AlyldVcOM_0?si=CAEENMRX8Z_8r6ia

I used to spend ages looking for stuff like this. It's fascinating.

>>18629569 (OP)
>>18629868
Kamala also faced Umaga on RAW and Eddie Kingston on some indie show.

Kamala might be the champion of this, a random selection of people he wrestled during his life:
>Big Daddy
>Arnold Skaaland
>Brandon Cutler
>Timothy Thatcher
>Lizmark
>Gypsy Joe
>Nailz
>Dean Malenko

>>18629569 (OP)
I remember seeing Jake Roberts facing british wrestler and 500+ pounds of lard Bulk

>>18634319
He faced Big Daddy with a different name, I think it was Mississippi Bear or something.

John Cena vs Sabu
https://youtu.be/GZsncY1qss0?si=ylS0AJErMlfQGc_X

>>18634496
apparently cena bitched about the table spot because he was going to film the marine

>>18634433
On that note, Rob Conway faced Greg Valentine.

>>18629569 (OP)
Sting vs Mark Calloway before he was Taker.

Shitty pic but Kevin Sullivan vs Edge

>>18635239
who hasn't the hammer wrestled?

>>18635376
that is damon striker

>>18631350
Dude got lucky. He went to Smackdown when it had several top veterans on the roster (e.g. Taker, Benoit, Angle, Eddie), when the WWE title was still seen as somewhat 'secondary' to the new WHC on Raw (which is partly why JBL got to hold it at the time), and when the new crop of legendary wrestlers were on the rise (Cena, Orton, Brock)
Orlando Jordan was a great case of "right place, right time"

>>18629569 (OP)

I keep forgetting that Bret and the Kane character were only in the same company for one month before the Screwjob happened

>>18631431
Speaking of Japan, I really wish the Vault would release the Takako Inoue vs. Jazz dark match from 2004. Takako got started during the tail end of the Crush Gals era, had her prime during the big interpromotional boom of the '90s. Jazz for all intents and purposes is a Ruthless Aggression era wrestler so it fits the general theme of the thread.

>Mabel vs Ken Shamrock
>One Man Gang vs King Mabel at an indie show
>The whole Bam Bam Bigelow vs Taz/Tazz feud at ECW
>Yokozuna (The Great Kokina) vs Genichiro Tenryu in Japan (infamous match where the crowd went silent)
>John Tenta vs The Gladiator (Mike Awesome) (Tenta last run in Japan)
>John Tenta whole stint as Golga in the attitude era

>>18629948
>>18630079
Santino had a short feud with Ron Simmons back in '07

>>18635953
Mabel's last WWE match was against Punk.

>>18632879
Still doesn't change the fact that he was from a completely different era, he had his start in the WWF when Hulkamania was at it's peak. To put this into perspective, John Cena was barely 10 years old when Shawn Michaels joined the WWF in '87, by that time, he had already been wrestling since he was 19 in 1985.

>>18636668
You dense motherfucker. How do you still not understand the thread? You gonna post Brock vs. Roman next?

>>18636764
Not my fault you're such a dense retard you don't even understand the meaning behind the thread subject.

>>18629897
Those early Saudi shows were legitimate fever dreams. Entire cards that felt way out of place with whatever WWE was doing, guest wrestlers who hadn't done anything in years, gimmick matches everywhere. It sucks they started treating them like proper PPVs now.

RVD had a singles match with Moxley/Ambrose in 2013, and with Rollins in 2014 during his WWE return

Nta but HBK was working up until the first few months of 1998 and was on and off tv for the next few years after that, I'd call that the Attitude Era.

I only remember this cause of Rusevs’s Bury me softly brother tweet

>>18637110
Kind of impossible because there was literally never a time where they were in the same company. By the time Goldberg came into WWE Viscera was long gone. By the time Viscera came back (in fall 2004), Goldberg was gone. By the time Goldberg came back to WWE, Viscera was dead. The only stuff Goldberg did inbetween his WCW and WWE stints was a short AJPW run and Viscera wasn't working in Japan then.

I knew Andre the Giant and Bad News Brown wrestled in Mexico (the diarrhea match) but I didn't know it was a six man tag with Andre teaming with El Canek and Villano III vs Bad News and Yokozuna & 2 Cold Scorpio in different gimmicks.

A classic

>>18646690
Basically, everytime Yokozuna made a move, the crowd did not react, bit when Tenryu made a move, the crowd erupted in cheers. It seems that nips weren't fans of a polynesian pretending to be a sumo grand champion.

>>18641336

Between the weird faces Kamala was making and the way Orton sold his chops and headbutts, I was keking through the whole thing
Surprisingly entertaining match for what it was

>>18647514
I remember watching this live and seriously thinking Lawler would win the WWE title. If there was ever a time for him to win it, it was this

>>18647514
Definitely. That was maybe my MOTY that year. I wish they would have let Lawler win.

I didn't even know they had another match, desu

>>18648218
They honestly should have. Put Lawler over, make him drop the belt back to Miz at Mania in a three way against Miz and Cena thanks to Cole interfering and then just have Lawler beat up Cole on Raw the next night to end the feud and end the heel Cole bullshit.

Would it make for good matches? Not really but I don't think given how shit everything was at the time anyone would have had a poblem with Lawler holding the belt for a few weeks as a thank you. He was over as hell during that Miz feud and even the smarks at the time would have been fine with it.

get a load of this retard
Not sure why you have such a hate boner for HBK, just because he was around in the ruthless aggression era doesn't mean he isn't apart of the previous eras, no matter how hard you try to revise history for your benefit. You know who else was around during the ruthless aggression era AND the golden, new generation, and attitude eras? Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kane (started his run during the new gen era), Triple H, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho (if you count his WCW run). These guys just happened to be talented enough to span multiple generations.

>>18650437

Taker and Shawn feels like cheating

>>18646148
That was on a different match

This thread made me think of something.
In 1963 Buddy Rogers became the first WWE Champion, back then known as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship.
In the early 1980s, Buddy Rogers wrestled a couple of tag team matches together with Jimmy Snuka in the WWF.
At the 2008 Royal Rumble, Snuka made a short appearance, but was in the ring at the same time with the current WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.

>>18629569 (OP)
Thw entire second stint of Goldberg in WWE qualify as this: he faced Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Gunther. Also, he buried Bray Wyatt career.

WWE gave Marty so many chances, man...

You can probably find some weird matchups in Chikara like 1-2-3 Kid and Jannetty vs. the Bucks or Bucks/Mike Bennett vs. Meng, Barbarian and Warlord in the 2012 King of Trios.

>>18652540
The Rockers thing was Shawn going out of his way to vouch for Marty and help him out. That and the Angle match got Marty signed and in true fashion he fucked it up and got arrested and immediately released. They tried again next year but again he got in trouble with the law immediately.

It was a dark match prior to Heat. He did a few dark matches over the years. Not quite the same but here's a dark match against Ernest Miller. Norman gets some big pops.
https://youtu.be/4R1khLQo-HM

>>18661198
All dark matches are recorded. Supposedly it's because WWE is worried Martha would file suit for profiting off Owen or something if they released it.

>>18661252
Godfather's there too. Gangsta Nation with Farooq would've been a hyper-based faction.

>>18660929

>>18661489
>Angle vs Owen
was it on a house show? or a dark match before a tv taping? if the latter, they should have it. if the former, it's very doubtful it exists anywhere. especially if fancam hasn't turned up by now, it probably never will.
i did see a picture of it, and it looked like it was taken by a WWF photographer so i'm guessing they did tape it and lost it.
it's strange because it would've been notable even then just because it's an Owen Hart match and Kurt was a prospect and Olympian they knew he was going to be big.
it's not like it's two nobodies who much later on became known and famous. the tape should've turned up by now. but WWE Vault claimed this year they can't find it.

>>18661590
i looked it up and it was a tv taping before Shotgun Saturday Night
http://www.profightdb.com/cards/wwf/shotgun-saturday-night-127-taping-3892.html
they do seem to shy away from showing late period Owen for whatever reason
and this was match was May 10 and he died on the 23rd so maybe they think it's too close to his death? seems like a weird reason and also why lie and say they can't find it if they have it and just don't want to show it?

>>18661632
i wonder why Angle did so many matches before they finally put him on tv? looking at that card, they picked the one interesting match to make be the dark match very bizarre

>>18661632
>why lie and say they can't find it if they have it and just don't want to show it?
It is weird when you consider the fact that WWE's youtube channel has several uploaded videos with Owen in them

Great thread lads, quite the rarity these days.

>>18661632
>>18661688
Considering the date of the match and how bitter Owen's widow still is after all these years, maybe it's to avoid a lawsuit.

>>18661632
>this was match was May 10 and he died on the 23rd so maybe they think it's too close to his death?
If the match was that close to his death then he likely had the Blue Blazer gimmick/outfit at the time
That would explain why they'd lie about not having it. Seeing Owen with that gimmick is too much of a reminder of his death
It's easier to pretend they can't find it than to say "we have it, but that footage might be too triggering to his wife and others since he's wearing the same attire that he died in not long after this match happened"

>>18661590
Everything is taped for insurance purposes. If it happened, WWE has tape of it.

>>18629569 (OP)
Desmond Wolfe vs Zack Sabre Junior

>>18661806
Owen was wrestling as both himself in his normal attire and as the Blazer
He was pretending he wasn't the Blazer even though it was acknowledged in kayfabe that he clearly was. That was the running gag

>>18654736
More like 'Weird Al' Snow, lel

>>18661806
he was wrestling unmasked as Owen Hart not as the Blue Blazer

here's fan cam footage of a Kurt Angle match that I believe is either the day before or the day after the Owen match
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lybGSfJD78s
you would think if someone recorded that pre-debut Kurt Angle match against a jobber that someone would record a Kurt Angle match against a far more famous opponent
>>18661632
it was a taping of Shotgun and then Raw is War. that episode of Raw is War is actually the most watched episode of Raw in history

https://x.com/RealKurtAngle/status/1945932836504326554

>>18664650
>Cody Rhodes vs. Hardcore Holly (Raw 2007)
Interesting piece of trivia involving these two:
Cody Rhodes may be the only wrestler in WWE history - maybe in the history of pro wrestling - to technically 'lose' and 'win' a championship at the exact same time
How?
In 2008, Cody held the World tag team belts with Holly, and they had a PPV match (Night of Champions) to defend the belts in a match against Ted DiBiase Jr., and a mystery partner
Cody and Holly came out for the match, then DiBiase came out but without a partner. Said his partner was running late, but that the match could start anyway as 2-on-1 and his partner would join midway
During the match, DiBiase's partner was revealed to be.....Cody Rhodes, who assaulted Holly. DiBiase then got the pin on Holly
So the 'team' of Cody and Holly lost the tag titles to the 'team' of Cody and Ted Jr.

>>18667054
>Sick Boy (from Raven's Flock) vs. John Cena (Raw 2002)
He'd been in WWE developmental since 2000 and had been doing regular dark matches. The original plan was that the Katie Vick storyline was going to be used to bring him up and have him feud with Triple H and/or Kane because of what happened to his sister. But the problem is, it's fucking Sick Boy and he sucked. Vince liked his look but he had a bunch of shitty dark matches so they abandoned any plans to bring him up and released him. Then they did the funeral parlor segment and that killed the entire angle completely.

>>18666407
It was part of the build up to HBK vs. Angle at WM21. Angle challenged Jannetty for Smackdown that week as a warm up so on Raw, HBK decides to reunite the Rockers so Marty doesn't have any ring rust going into the match. IRL, Michaels was trying to do Marty a solid and it almost worked. This and the Angle match got Marty a contract but he got arrested right afterwards and immediately let go.

Really? I’m the opposite on this. I’m always surprised to remember he didn’t make it to the 2010s. Just living in general I mean, not as a performer. Off the top of my head I would’ve said he died about 10 years ago.

Alex Wright has clean wins over Triple H and Steve Austin without them beating him back

Death throes WCW had some good matches that fit here:

Mona (Molly Holly) vs Rhonda Singh (Bertha Faye)

Virgil vs Magnum Tokyo - possibly the only squash win of Virgil's career?

Jung Dragons (Jamie Noble, Kaz Hayashi and Jimmy Wayne Yang) vs PG-13 (and "The Frog", who was apparently a friend of the Hardyz that never broke through as a big wrestler). Good match this.

Buff Bagwell vs old Big Daddy tag partner Drew McDonald

Stevie Ray vs Nick Dinsmore (as in Eugene, never knew he was a WCW jobber)

Kevin Nash vs Hardcore Hak (The Sandman). The Sandman and Mikey Whipwreck's cups of coffee in WCW were both very weird.

Sadly I couldn't find Ernest Miller and MI Smooth (Ice Train) vs the dream tag team of Chris Kanyon and Road Warrior Animal on YouTube
