What are the defining matches of every GOAT?

[Breh Obama]

The Raw reunion got me thinking....does every GOAT have a defining match that solidified their career?

For Austin it's either him vs Bret Hart at WM 13 or when he beat HBK for the championship at WM 14

What about The Rock and others?

 

[Silkk]

HBK - WM12
Rock - Probably WM18
Taker - Not Sure
Sting - Starrcade 97
Big Sexy The Giant Killer - Starrcade 98

 

[RammerJammer]

HBK - WM12
Rock - Probably WM18
Taker - Not Sure
Sting - Starrcade 97
Big Sexy The Giant Killer - Starrcade 98

Taker vs HBK HIAC or Taker vs Foley? Taker vs Bret at SS?

Taker vs HBK HIAC or Taker vs Foley? Taker vs Bret at SS?

Taker vs Foley in the HIAC is definitively Foleys defining match. Even more so than him winning the championship. This could essentially be Takers defining match too I guess

 

[JuvenileHell]

For Austin I feel it's when he beat Jake the Snake to win King of the Ring, if only because of the promo he cut at the end of the match

Taker vs HBK HIAC or Taker vs Foley? Taker vs Bret at SS?

Yeah, Probably HIAC 2 would be it tbh.

Austin: either match vs Bret at Survivor Series ‘96 or Mania 13

Sting- his match with Flair at Clash Of Champions ‘88, made him a superstar overnight

Brock- vs The Rock at SummerSlam ‘02, The Next Big Thing truly became that after the match

I’m gonna put both of them in this because the match defined both their careers, and was them at their absolute best. Eddie vs Rey at Halloween Havoc ‘97.

That’s just off top.

The Eddie and Rey match was really good but personally nothing can top Eddie winning the championship for me. That night was just too epic

Is Cenas defining match when he debuted against Kurt or when he beat JBL for the title?



When it comes to Cena his debut match gets referenced more than any of his other matches

I’d argue his WM 20 match against Big Show, that’s the match that really made him a star, of course his WM 21 match launched him into superstardom

I would either say Unforgiven against Edge or the 2008 royal rumble match

Rock’s is either Backlash 00 or Mania 18

Undertaker I would say either King of the Ring 98 or Mania 14

Austin is WM 13

Didn’t Shane jump off a higher cell too


Looking back shyt was a waste of time and money

 

[mr.africa]

bret vs owen steel cage summerslam 94, i think or bret vs bulldog summerslam 92

That Cena and Edge match was a classic

Lol yea it was. I think most people would think of the Shane vs Vince match with the first ever Coast to Coast or the match against Kurt
