that stretch from ‘99 – early ‘03 was probably the best time to be a fan imo
#2 will be Triple H vs. Cactus Jack and #1 will be the 1992 Royal Rumble match for the WWF Championship.
Chris Benoit is the greatest underrated wrestler of the 2000s.
Watched this a month ago easily the most brutal ladder match I've ever seen both guys just beat the shit out of each other I had to turn away at the chair shot with Benoit knowing what happened with him hope we never see disgusting chair shots like that ever again but it was a awesome match Benoit and jericho were just incredible together.
This match is my number 1
What a great match these two bought out the best of each other
Personally I would have put Angle vs Benoit at No 3 and bumped this down one. Other than that good top 10 couple of interesting picks. The top 2 are pretty obvious especially seen as Solomonster climaxes every time he mentions the 92 Rumble 😂😂
God I love this match. The build, the video package the actual match. Just pure perfection. Damn you Benoit for being in so many classic matches. It's so hard rewatch this match now. Same goes for his match with The Rock at Fully loaded
1998-2004 was the best time to be a WWF/WWE fan.
Ya I felt the WM2000 match was booked weird too with the WWF European Championship being on the line in the second fall.
