Hello, I'm "The Rookie."
WWE has many matches which some can be what you call "overrated" and some can be "underrated"...
Today, I've brought this article to your attention, because I'd like to share great matches that don't get appreciated as much as others, yet they were just as good or maybe even better...
So uh...
Well...
Without further ado...
Let's get started...
Randy Orton vs. Edge, Vengeance 2004
This match was for the Intercontinental Championship, and may I say, it was the best match of the night, and one of the best in that year.
Both Orton and Edge fought their hearts out in this match, and it's a personal favorite of mine...
Edge won...
Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle, Smackdown 2003
This match was a 60 minute Iron Man match for the WWE Championship, and may I say, it was another favorite match of mine.
When this match came to an end, it was Lesnar who was emerged as the winner and more importantly, WWE Champion...
John Cena vs. Randy Orton, Summerslam 2007
This was a great match, but the only problem was the ending, with Cena somehow giving Orton an "FU" or "AA" for the victory.
Still, the match had a great atmosphere, as it was in Jersey, and the crowd was booing Cena out the building...
You may remember this match for the sign, where it said, "If Cena wins, We Riot"...
This was a great match though, despite the ending...
Triple H vs. The Rock, Judgment Day 2000
Another great match between two of the best in the business at their times, Triple H and The Rock...
This match was a 60-minute Iron Man match for the WWF Championship...
It was just a spectacular match, it had it's highspots, and a great finish, the return of The Undertaker...
Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle, No Way Out 2006
Kurt Angle and Undertaker have always had a great rivalry, but this match really brought that rivalry out...
This technical match with plenty of highspots was won by Angle in a bit of a twist...
Overall, it is one of the most overlooked matches in years...
John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels, RAW 2007
What a match this was, even better then their Mania match, which was phenomenal...
This match was nearly an hour long, and it was one of the best matches of that year...
Shawn won the match via "Sweet Chin Music"...
Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho, Wrestlemania XIX
This match is another personal favorite, and in my opinion, one of the best Wrestlemania matches of all time, but most don't even remember it...
This match was between two of the greatest wrestlers in the business at the time, Jericho and Michaels.
This match was won by Shawn, but afterwards, Jericho gave him a low-blow...
Edge vs. John Cena, Unforgiven 2006
This match was a classic, one of the best I've seen in years. This was the final chapter between Edge and Cena in that year...
This match had it all, the atmosphere of thousands of Canadian fans booing Cena and cheering for their hometown hero, Edge.
Cena won the match by giving Edge his finishing move entitled, the "FU" or "AA" through a stack of tables and grabbing the WWE title for the win...
Batista vs. Triple H, Wrestlemania 21
Wrestlemania 21 was the "Breakout" type of Mania, with Edge winning Money in the Bank, Cena winning the WWE title, but most importantly, Batista winning the World title in the match of the night, and one of the best of that year...
Triple H and Batista's feud was one of my favorites of this decade, and so was their matches that they had against each other...
Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon, Wrestlemania XIX
Yeah, that's Rocky, but the men next to him performed in a great match, Hogan and McMahon, if you don't remember the match, it was a street fight, and boy was it brutal...
Eventually, the match was won by Hogan...
Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania 21
What can I say, these two are the best performers in the business.
Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle are usually in classics, but no one talks about this one, it's one I recommend you to watch...
This match was won by Angle...
Edge vs. Christian, No Mercy 2001
A match between two real-life best friends, and storyline brothers, Edge and Christian were considered one of the best tag teams of all time, but when Christian turned on Edge, they had a ladder match, and Edge won, which was great...
These are matches that make you say, "Edge may be the best superstar in WWE history"...
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels, Armageddon 2002
It was a "Three Stages of Hell" match between Shawn Michaels and Triple H for the World title.
It had some high points and really a brutal match, unlike the most recent "Three Stages of Hell" match between Orton and Triple H.
Triple H won the match...
Randy Orton vs. Chris Benoit, Summerslam 2004
A great PPV that was Summerslam 2004, had a great ending with this matchup between Benoit and Orton.
In this match, Orton was the underdog, as Benoit was on a tear, defeating Triple H, Kane and Shawn Michaels multiple times to retain the World title.
So no one expected Orton to win, but he did, and it was one of the most unpredictable moments in WWE history...
Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels, No Mercy 2008
These two have put on so many classics, so it wasn't a surprise that they would bring out another classic against one another...
Chris Jericho feuded with Shawn Michaels from Judgment Day of last year up until No Mercy.
This ladder match was truly one of my favorites, it had many highspots, especially the ending, with Jericho retaining the World title...
Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero, Summerslam 2005
This match was for the custody of Dominick, Rey's son and Eddie's kayfabe son.
This was a great ladder match between Hispanics who revolutionized a business, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero...
Rey won this match, though...
Triple H vs. Ric Flair, Survivor Series 2005
A match between a 16 time World Champion in Ric Flair, and an 13 time World Champion, Triple H. This was a "Last Man Standing" match, and a hell of one at that.
Triple H won and Flair took a lot of punishment in this match, overall a classic...
Team Smackdown vs. Team RAW, Survivor Series 2005
In this picture, we have two of the main participants of that year's Survivor Series match, Randy Orton and Batista.
This may have been the last great tag team match that I've seen in WWE...
Team Smackdown came as the underdog, for some unknown reason, but they won the match, thanks to Orton pinning Michaels.
After the match, Undertaker returned...
Edge vs. Ric Flair, RAW 2006
Edge and Flair are two of the most successful superstars of their respective eras.
In this match, Edge was the new WWE Champion, winning it from John Cena.
This was a very exciting Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match with a lot of highspots.
The winner of this match and still WWE Champion, Edge!
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels, Bad Blood 2004
Yeah, in this picture they're best friends, but before that, they were sworn enemies.
They competed in one of the most brutal "Hell in a Cell" matches of all time.
Once again, Triple H won...
The Closing
These matches deserve a moment in the spotlight, much like this fella in the picture...
Most of these are my favorite matches to tell the truth...
Thanks for reading...
