Best Matches of 2013

gnfnrhead

Don't think we have this thread yet? If we do, I'm sure the mods will fix it before anyone even notices.

Anyway:
Prince Devitt vs Low Ki vs Kota Ibushi - Wrestle Kingdom - It is as awesome as it sounds.

Still watching the show so expect to add more.

Heath Slater vs Miz on Smackdown last week.

Two more from Wrestle Kingdom:

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kazushi Sakuraba
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada

Togi Makabe vs. Katsuyori Shibata wasnt half bad either, just a bit short.

Nakamura/Sakuraba was my favourite just great can't believe how good Nakamura is.

Haven't seen it but Alvarez was saying it was a good match on the observer last week.

Stereomaniac

I saw that match and it was very good. I was amazed to see Heath Slater in a serious match.

Heath is a great worker and a hell of a character.

Stereomaniac

I will second that. I hope that this 3MB thing starts to go somewhere though and someone ascends.

Hashtag_HEEL

Punk VS Jericho on raw last night was fantastic!

Stereomaniac

I'm just watching it here now. I have high hopes. I thought the WrestleMania match was amazing!

GTR63

Just after watch Hardy vs Aries vs Roode at Genesis(i'm a mile behind on my sky+).
Really good match with some awesome spots in it.

Machismo Fan

The Electric Chair/Whisper in the Wind spot was particularly cool.

Stereomaniac

I thought The Rock vs. CM Punk at the Royal Rumble was very good. The storytelling was great.

MrKingsley

I hope that the match isnt anyway near the top of the list come the end of this year. Ive not been as let down by a main event in quite a while

Stereomaniac

I am sure there will be much better matches this year, but so far, that one gets my vote here.

Tanahashi vs Anderson

Stereomaniac

Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio on Main Event was good. Did anyone watch that? Check it out.

BohsJohnny

Cena/Punk just after finishing on raw,after Tanahashi/Anderson my favorite match of the year so far.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

+1 on Cena/Punk. Best TV match in years.

Hashtag_HEEL

I may have been annoyed about the result but Punk/Cena was FANTASTIC.

BohsJohnny

They put it up on their youtube page withouts ad breaks great they are doing this now

Completely agree,

Cena just about pulled off the Hurricanrana at the end

, could have been a disaster!

Also nice to see the ILLEGAL pile-driver make an appearance!

I'd say Punk got quite a rollocking for that one when he got to the back!

Yeah, I was shocked to see it so I read up on it, apparently Arn Anderson was the producer of the match and was fearing for his job over it

Stereomaniac

But what about the powerbomb that John Cena did on CM Punk earlier on in the match as well?

The powerbomb is not banned but the piledriver is.

Stereomaniac

I just assumed that it was banned, or only for use occasionally because it's rarely seen I think?

DanVanDan

I assume the reason we haven't seen it in a while because that particular power bomb was Batista's finisher for years...

DanVanDan

Miz vs Cesaro 2/3 falls for the US title on Smackdown was good, Miz has really improved and Im liking the Cesaro character more and more

Stereomaniac

I really liked that match but I think it would have been better if it was just a regular matchup.

Sting vs Austin Aries match from TNA a week or 2 ago

BohsJohnny

This is my favorite tag match so far just non stop action

Kess73

The Shield vs Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus at Elimination Chamber 2013.


Ok the match had many of the same spots as the Shield vs Ryback and Hell No from 2012, but damn the Shield are fun to watch and are one of the most convincing tag teams that I have ever seen.

Micheal Elgin vs Jay Lethal from is the match of the weekend so far

rovert

Athena vs Hamada from the Wrestlemania Shimmer show

Ricochet/Tozawa and Super Smash Brothers versus EITA and Tomahawk TT were pretty special on the 1st DGUSA show. Weld the Rusty Gate of whatever it was called. :P

Can't wait to get home now!

BohsJohnny

Meltzer gave it five stars deservedly so.

DM_7

If you stuck the specs for a perfect face wrestler into a computer you would probably get Tanahashi, then you tried again only for a heel you would get Okada.

CM Punk vs. The Undertaker at WRESTLEMANIA 29, was one of the best matches of 2013 in my opinion

Well I wont agree with this, They both performed below there potential,

Triple H Vs Brock Lesnar, stands for me as best match
