[1999-01-24-WWF-Royal Rumble] Mankind vs The Rock ('I Quit')
The only problems I really have with this match is the electric bump (ridiculously dumb looking, one box exploding that Foley didn't even hit) & that finish. Kills a lot of the match for me, because logically WHY DID YOU WAIT SO LONG. Rock & Foley got their characters over great in this, and Lawler getting serious when we got the chair segment was good. This had the potential to be special, but missed the mark.

[1998-01-18-WWF-Royal Rumble] Goldust vs Vader
Good opener for the '98 Rumble. The Vader Bomb with Luna on the back is a very memorable spot, and made Vader look great. Dustin was very solid work wise in this.

[1996-01-21-WWF-Royal Rumble] Bret Hart vs The Undertaker
Sludge of a match. Bret was on offense for nearly the entire match, and felt like a chore to watch. Finish was sloppy with the ref having to move around the entire ring to get in position for the Diesel pull out, catching himself up in the ropes even. Nash is really great at being a prick, just dropping the finger and mockingly walking out.

[1995-01-22-WWF-Royal Rumble] Bret Hart vs Diesel
Worked really well with the leg/back targeting, but Bret felt quite strong on offense even with a good bit of heeling. Overbooked. Felt super unfair to Diesel as he had the match won. Finish was goofy with the all out run-ins.

[1999-02-21-WCW-Superbrawl IX] Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan
Hogan & Flair were working their asses off for this. I was really enjoying the intensity between the two at this stage. Hogan hitting Flair with the belt til Flair just shoots for a ankle pick on Hogan, which Hogan just answers with wild belt swinging was awesome. The shitty storyline finish/turn killed it from being a really memorable great late-WCW match, sadly.

[1982-06-04-AJPW] Ric Flair vs Ric Steamboat
Watching this after watching all the 77-78 stuff I could find between the two. A rushed version of the classic match. Steamboat's offense is really over and working in front of the Japanese crowd. I don't think I like it as much as most their stuff, but still really good.
