Best ending to a wrestling macth you've ever seen?

[StrawNilla]

That one moment where the guy who's been beaten and battered takes it in a surprise rollup or counterhold. What's the best ending to a wrestling match you've ever seen? No matter the match or the wrestling promotion. What are those endings to those matches that you couldn't improve on if you made them up yourself?

In fact, what's a perfect ending to a matchup that hasn't happened yet? Like Chavo Guerrero beating HHH in their match on RAW a while back, just to use as an example. Well, there you go. What's the perfect climax?

[Legato]

Bret Hart vs Austin at Wrestlemania(dont know which one) whare it had Austin pass out while he was in the Sharpshooter. Also that was probably the first match in WWE whare it had a double turn.

[StoneGold]

First fake Survivor Series screwjob, where Rock turned heel and became the Corporate Champion. Came out of nowhere. Brilliantly plotted.

[Chiasm]

Best climax (literally) and best end to any wrestling match ever was when Lita was in bed and the covers slipped off. :p

[Scorpion13]

Warrior and Savage both hitting thier finishers on each other like 7 times at WM7.

[Legato]

First fake Survivor Series screwjob, where Rock turned heel and became the Corporate Champion. Came out of nowhere. Brilliantly plotted.

That was one of those moments whare WWE didn't make it look so obvious when they are doing a face or heel turn.

That was one of my all time fav PPV's because of that moment.

[StoneGold]

Same time frame, Austin vs. McMahon in the cage at St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Vince keeps flicking off Austin, who keeps climbing back into the cage to further destroy Vince. And he's really beating the crap out of him. Blood everywhere. Suddenly, Paul Wight (pre-Big Show) bursts out of the ring floor and starts wiping the cage walls with Austin. Till he literally throws Austin through the cage walls, making Stone Cold the defacto winner.

Too bad they buried Wight the next night by having him job to Austin, which kind of killed his heat, but man, the SCSA/Mr. McMahon feud never got better than that fight.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

The Rock turning heel at Survivor Series '98 is one of the best heel turns in history. My favorite heel turn in WWE history, bar none. The way he was the crowd favorite and manipulated everyone by the end of the night was perfect booking. Foley and Austin got played for fools!

[clayholio]

I think the only time I jumped out of my seat while watching wrestling on TV was when Big Show and Brock Lesnar broke the ring with a superplex. That's my favorite match end ever.

WM 12 - Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michaels - Iron Man Match.

The match went the full 60 minutes with no falls. Bret walks out of the ring thinking that he is still champ. Gorilla Monsoon orders that the match continues in Sudden Death rules. Hart goes back to the ring and starts beating on Michaels who is already in pretty bad shape. then BANG!! Michaels hits him with the Sweet Chin outta nowhere, they both go down. Shawn pulls himself back up just as Bret does then BANG!! the second Sweet chin and the rollup for a Michaels victory.
Made me cry with joy then and still does now.
What a match. What a finish.

eddie guerrero and art barr having their heads shaved


anytime jbl finishes wrestling cause its finally over

[cactusmaac]

Ultimate Warior making the save for Hogan at WM 8.

Total mark-out moment.

[BoosterBronze]

Austin and HHH each hitting eachother with weapons (No Way Out 2001?) and being knocked out, with HHH landing on Austin. I loved that.

[DWEarhart]

Austin's heel turn in Houston during a Wrestlemania (17 or 18), facing The Rock, both at their prime, and nailing him with about ten chair shots, and getting the pin, then shaking Vince's hand.

It started one of Austin's greatest title runs as a character.
Plus I loved seeing The Rock get the snot beat out of him. Repeatedly.

[Melbourne Mew Mew]

Bret Hart vs Stone Cold, as mentioned.

Eddie tricking Kurt Angle by faking a broken ankle at WM20.

Lioness Asuka beating Chigusa Nagayo in a title match, then refusing to accept the title because Chigusa got injured.

The Shelton vs Flair vs RVD match from last week's Raw had a cool ending, with Flair putting RVD in the Figure-4 and then getting pinned by Shelton.

[Leslie Lee III]

Taz vs Bam Bam when they went through the ring on a Tazzmission.

Joe vs Punk I where Punk hits the Plunge on Joe at about 57mins (60 min time limit) but can't capitilize due to his "Keiji Mutoh-like knees." Or Joe vs Punk II in Chi Town (Punk's home) and they end up battling on the turnbuckle, both trying to hit their finisher as time winds down. Some of the most intense moments ever in wrestling.

Aja Kong vs Meiko Satomaru - Meiko hits her finishers like 5 times each before she can finally put down the giant and win the big blue belt for the first time.

[Forefinger]

Eddie tricking Kurt Angle by faking a broken ankle at WM20.

I forgot all about that. It was awesome indeed, as was Benoit winning the World championship later that evening.

[Melbourne Mew Mew]

I'd heard about it before, but only just now actually seen the match...

Manami Toyota vs Toshiyo Yamada, hair vs hair match for the title, AJW Midsummer Typhoon 1992. Toyota wins, but doesn't want to see her partner's head shaved, offering to cut her own hair, and then having to be physically restrained as Yamada has her hair cut off.

[BigJayStudd]

War Games where Sid powerbombed Pillman and his head hit the top of the cage. That was brutal. Then he did it again!

[StrawNilla]

I think the only time I jumped out of my seat while watching wrestling on TV was when Big Show and Brock Lesnar broke the ring with a superplex. That's my favorite match end ever.
I remember that, and you can mark it down as my favorite as well. I still talk about it to this day, and I'm still amazed. For that one moment alone you could probably list that entire match down as a favorite of mine.

[G_Man]

Wasn't quite the end of the match itself, but during The Undertaker's first appearance at Survivor Series. When he mows through, like, half of Dusty Rhodes' entire team without breaking stride, only for Dusty to eliminate him by dragging him out to the arena floor and getting into a horribly one-sided brawl with him (when I was young it looked like Undertaker was really hammering the crap out of him) outside of the ring until they were both counted out.

That was just an awesome finish to Undertaker's intro, and the rest of the match, with poor Bret having to take on Dibiase, The Honkytonk Man, and, I think, Greg Valentine all by himself, was pretty awesome too. I was so pissed he lost after all his hard work and Dusty's sacrifice, but then I was a big Bret Hart mark back then.

[master of read]

edge becoming champ. i had to admitt. after the elimination chamber match, it seemed as though cena, bloodly and battered, pulled another come from behind win. then edge comes out of no where, cashes in his title shot and wins the belt. me and my friends were saying "WTF" all night.

Well a few months back when Hardy and Edge had that cage match, that was kick ass.

But one of my favorite moments I still think about. More than a few years back, Benoit and chris jericho where tag champsthat sunday they won the title, then thursday on smack down, Vince comes in ranting and raving, and makes a epic match, especially for regular tv, a four way TLC Ladder match with The Hardy boys, Edge and christian, and the Dudleys. That match was massive, chaotic. Everytime the champs got up they got swated down but they climbed and they fought and fought for about half an hour or more, and finnally won, I watched that as a kid and at the end of that match I was like WOW!

then again the Lesnar/Bigshow thing was cool too.

The REAL total package?

[MarvelKnight]

When Barry Horowitz beat Skip, Barry Horowitz was just a jobber and he beat a WWF "Superstar". A jobber winning a match, that was weird and the beginning of what is now currently being done, superstar vs. superstar on a regular basis.

One of my other favorites is when Shawn Michaels was in the Royal Rumble and Michaels and, I think, the British Bulldog were the only two left. Bulldog threw Michaels over the ropes, Michaels was tangled in the ropes and had one foot touching the ground. While the British Bulldog was celebrating, Michaels who was not eliminated threw the Bulldog over the ropes Michaels won.

[Pól Rua]

During William Regal's 'Power of the Punch' phase, he hauled off and smashed Big Show square in the jaw with the brass knucks.
Show's eyes rolled back and he toppled forward, straight onto Regal, effectively pinning him.
I always thought the brass knucks were a cheap and overused gimmick for Regal, but the facial expressions on both he and Show, and his frantic attempts to get the unconscious giant off him before the ref turned around and counted him out 1, 2, 3, had me howling.

Any chance that match is showed on youtube?

[Pól Rua]

Probably. I think it lasted all of two minutes.

[Kaiju]

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams vs. Kenta Kobashi has one of the best endings I've ever seen. These two guys hit each other with every move in their arsenals but neither one could pin the other guy.

At about the 25:00 minute mark Kobashi looks to have the advantage after a moonsault and several legdrops appear to weaken Doc. Doc collapses during a powerbomb attempt and then eats a stiff lariat. It looks to be over but Doc survives and he catches Kobashi with an Oklahoma Stampede powerslam and a stiff lariat of his own but Kobashi kicks out. Kobashi channels his fighting spirit and he unleashes a series of chops to the head that stun Doc and he goes for a quick pin. Doc kicks out but looks worse for wear.

The beginning of the end happens when Kobashi tries a sleeper but Doc escapes and nails Kobashi with an absolutely sick backdrop driver. Kobashi kicks out but he has a little fight left in him. He eats another brutal backdrop driver and is so dazed that he tries to crawl away. Doc grabs the helpless Kobashi and hits him with a stiff belly to back suplex with a bridge to win the match.

Ow....

[marshal99]

Ah , one of the best match on free TV for 2005. It's cool that they did that spot again in their rematch only for Shelton to turn it around.
