Steamboat is sooooooo underrated. The three matches he had with Flair (Chi Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions and Wrestle War) in 1989 never get old.
The Steiners were ok, and I forgot about Ricky The Dragon Steamboat... I liked him a lot.
Speaking of Bam Bam Bigelow, his match with the Undertaker may have been the last time I ever watched wrestling... so bad!

Scott Steiner and Ric Flair had a great match in 1990. Which isn't much of a surprise considering Flair in his prime was amazing. Steiner's Hurricarana was perfection.
I remember that match (I'm old too) haha. Yeah pretty bad. As great as Undertaker was he didn't start having good matches until 96ish.
Bam Bam had some great matches with Bret Hart in 1993.

Watching some 1998 Raws and PPVs this week...good undercards! Shamrock v Rock for KotR was a great match.

That was a very good match. Everyone shits on the Rock now but I think he was pretty damn good. He sold like a champ!
If I recall HHH was on commentary in that match? I'm excited for more Raws from 97-98 to be added to the Network.

HHH was on commentary, yeah; I wasn't as big a fan of that. It's basically all masturbation jokes and misogynistic comments. That stuff doesn't hold up well, but the intensity of so many of these matches is just over the top.

Agreed with not holding up well. At the time it was funny. It was super funny though when DX dressed up as the guys from Nation of Domination.
Have you seen the triple threat cage match between Rock/Shamrock and Foley? Great stuff.

Thats a great match. I think that HHH/Rock 2 out of 3 falls at Fully Loaded is criminally underrated. It's better than the ladder match from the next month that gets all the pub, and I think it's the best match The Rock ever had.

Agreed the 2 out of 3 falls match was good. Rock and HHH had great chemistry. Backlash 2000 was great. Crowd was crazy.
I think my favorite Rock match was Last Man Standing vs Foley in 1999 or vs Austin at WM 17 or 19.

The Austin match at 17 is very good. I just think the 2/3 falls match is the best work he ever did. Their Iron Man match was good, but neither of those guys really had the depth of arsenal to pull that match off like Michaels and Hart did. Speaking of Iron Man matches, I've got to get around to seeing that Angle/Lesnar Iron Man match, I've never seen it.

Yes. Watch the Brock/Angle Iron Man. It's great. That Smackdown is on the network.
The E really missed the boat with Punk and Bryan. They could have had a great Iron Man match.
