When it was still real to you dammit...which match up's were you nervous about?

[Hoss]

When I was young my dad took me to see the Road Warriors vs The Midnight Express in a scaffold match...I think it was NWA at the time

I thought Hawk or Animal was going to fall and die. I think Jim Cornett fell from 18ft up or some shyt. He was hanging off of the scaffold and fell into the ring. I know that shyt had to hurt even if planned.

Cornette fukked up his knee with that fall. Dude was legit terrified of heights, so yeah that shyt got pretty real.

yeah man, it was at the war memorial auditorium in Ft Lauderdale Florida, if that was the exact show it happened

I remember cards at shows starring outlaw ron bass and haitian sensation Tyree Pride the good ole days

 

[TheBigBopper]

Hulk Hogan vs. Goldberg--thought Hogan might end the streak

Austin vs Undertaker and Kane at Breakdown '98: I knew Austin wouldn't come out the match as champion

 

[MikelArteta]

meng v goldberg, meng was beating goldberg all match i knew the streak was over then a spear and a jackhammer out of nowhere iw as like

 

[Arrogance.]

Michaels vs Austin at WM 15 (?) turned me into an Austin hater SO HARD BREHS. shyt doesn't even make sense to me now but I was that much of an HBK mark that just being his enemy = dead and buried forever to me. except, oddly enough, Bret Hart


I swore up and down that on November 19, 2011 WWE would be banished from the airwaves and my favorite wrestling feds, ECW and WCW would have running websites and WWE's monday night slot. this was around the time that I didn't have a hooked up black box available so I had to find out the next morning that WCW was dead for good

meng v goldberg, meng was beating goldberg all match i knew the streak was over then a spear and a jackhammer out of nowhere iw as like

Hulk Hogan vs. Goldberg--thought Hogan might end the streak

Those were my picks. Being a Goldberg mark during the streak had me sitting at the TV like "It's not gonna end tonight, right? Right??!"

 

[DaylitoJames]

HBK vs Mankind at Mind Games... this was when Mankind was at his most insane nature with Paul Bearer backing him so I was afraid of Shawn's chances

HBK vs Taker - Hell In A Cell - I knew Taker was gonna give Shawn an asswhooping but goddamn Taker layed it in on Michaels.

Taker vs Coke Boy - Buried Alive Match - Vince will always be king at taking the GOAT asswhoopings and this was no exception... was bleeding within the first 2 minutes

Taker vs Mankind - Hell In A Cell - the first time in my life I didn't know if wrestling was real or not cause those bumps Foley took looked too realistic to be considered kayfab as a child

Any Steve Corino match vs guys like New Jack, Sandman, Tajiri, Taz, Mike Awesome, etc...

Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome - ANY match they had in ECW - Those nikkas used to kill each other

Savage vs DDP - ANY match they had - Those nikkas used to kill each other

Kevin Sullivan vs Krisbenwah - ANY match they had - Those nikkas used to kill each other... and somehow always in up in the bathroom

 

[DaylitoJames]

Why that dude on the side of Punk mean muggin' Vince like he gonna do something... he get tossed in the bushes reel quik

 

[Ruby'sRevolver]

Savage vs. Hogan- Wrestlemania V: As a young Savage mark I knew what was gonna happen.

Savage vs. Ultimate Warrior- Career Match- Wrestlemania VII: I was nervous for obvious reasons here.

HBK vs. HHH- Unsanctioned Match- Summerslam 2002: I was just nervous that Shawn was gonna fukk up his back.

 

[DaylitoJames]

meng v goldberg, meng was beating goldberg all match i knew the streak was over then a spear and a jackhammer out of nowhere iw as like

breh that match made me hate WCW, EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME Meng ever put on his Tonga Death Grip on a nikka he never lets go. So why this time with Goldberg when he puts on that grip he lets go... and then cheers to the crowd?

at WCW and Goldberg's streak I say!

Look at it if you don't believe me, never made sense to me:

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Hogan vs. Earthquake at Summerslam
Sting vs. Hogan at Starrcade (wasn't real to me then I just didn't want Sting to win)
Rude vs. Sting at the Clash

Anytime Sting wrestled Vader, Sid Vicious or Rick Rude

I remember being nervous when Sting fought Vader at Great American Bash '92. Got my Adrian on and was like "YOU CAN'T WIN! "

WWE.com: Sting vs. Vader: The Great American Bash 1992 - WCW World Heavyweight Championship

Rude and Vader were always true threats to Sting. They kicked his ass a lot.


Also nervous when Sting took on Luger at SuperBrawl '92... I was so heated at Luger by this point

WWE.com: Lex Luger vs. Sting: SuperBrawl 1992 - WCW Championship Match

 

[Reggie]

When Mankind and Taker fought I thought Foley had really fukked himself up out there. I thought he broke some bones on that fall through the ring or something. And any of those scaffold matches back in the day used to have me thinking someone would get hurt badly. Don't know if I could do those type of matches if I was a wrestler.

 

[Silkk]

Michaels vs Austin at WM 15 (?) turned me into an Austin hater SO HARD BREHS. shyt doesn't even make sense to me now but I was that much of an HBK mark that just being his enemy = dead and buried forever to me.

WM14 I HATED Austin too right up until he started feuding with Kane & Undertaker. Every week had me like

 

[Shadow]

The beating HBK took in that HIAC match was legendary. Taker destroyed that man in the cell.

I remember watching it with my parents and they were like "That's real right there...I ain't never seen somebody get beat down like that before."

Had a young me like ""

 

[Canada Goose]

Ray Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero, where if Ray lost Eddie got custody of Ray's son


When that tall 7 foot indian nikka came on Smackdown and was dominating people week after week, I thought for sure no one was gonna be able to beat him
