Nah. I just watched the Montreal Screwjob on YouTube and one of the comments said those 3 were the most important in wrestling history. I’m just wondering if TSC agrees.

I disagree with that one and I disagree with Hogan/Andre

Hogan/Andre was a big match, no doubt, but Hogan and WWF were already made long before that. as far as importance goes you could very easily argue the first wrestlemania main event was far more important than Hogan/Andre.

I do agree that there is something to the Bash at the Beach match and what it did for WCW/the Monday Night Wars tho

Let me throw some game in this piece:

1. 
   This match is responsible for bringing legitimacy to professional wrestling as a whole. No flippy shyt, no sports entertainment storylines, just straight up prize fighting shyt that felt surreal and probably the best match I have ever seen and this is going from the NWA days to the Dub days. Square biz.
2. 
   This was the shyt that put DDT on the map. Crazy ass Kota Ibushi going through a entire abandoned apartment just beating ass dealing with fukkery that would entertained our kids kids by the campfire.
   
3. 
   This match was needed during the pandemic. Promotions including the Dub were doing cinematic matches, but this is what the streets needed. Despite the shytty ending, this entire match made me a semi believer in AEW despite the foolishness that makes my fur stand up.

Hogan turning heel was so huge

Hogan ushered in the Attitude Era with the nWo and wrestling hasnt returned to goofy gimmicks like The Goon ever since

I wouldn’t say the last 2 are most important matches. I’d say they’re most important moments in a match.

Austin/Bret at Mania definitely needs to be in the top 3.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Austin vs Bret at WM13 is definitely one of them

I do agree that there is something to the Bash at the Beach match and what it did for WCW/the Monday Night Wars tho

and thinking about this more, you can equally argue Hogan vs. Sting at 97 Starrcade and how it signified the beginning of the end in WCW as just as important as the Bash at the Beach match, I think I'd still lean Bash for importance sake but...

WCW wise Sting/Hogan and Fingerpoke of Doom are both up there as far as negative importance goes lol.

 

[Tres Leches]

austin/bret
bash at the beach
rock/austin take your pick any of the 3

I would replace Hogan vs Andre with Bret vs Austin at Wrestlemania 13.
