Why is this match so overrated? Honestly, and without any /asp/

>>2442014
Mostly stood out because every other match on that card was shit

Stuff like that wasn't seen at the time, especially the WWF.

>>2442052
but it was just ricky throwing savage outside the ring for 20 minutes
why do guys, even today (punk, regal, austin) call it one of the best mania matches

>>2442014
The stuff that today is "nothing special" was absolutely amazing and groundbreaking at the time, especially in the WWF

Today you have people doing flips and flops everywhere while bleeding profusely and getting stiff shots to the face

Back then people used fucking dropkicks as finishing maneuvers

It's not overrated in any kind

It's just like Citizen Kane, that movie is considered one of the best of all time even though today anyone could see it and say "meh", it's because the fact that today you can still watch that 1940's movie and call it "watchable" or "pretty good" speaks volumes of the astounding quality of the film itself at the time.

Very unique for its time and place, especially in the WWF where match quality wasn't a focus at all. It also had great build to back it up at the time. Seeing it out of context now just doesn't do it justice.

It's a great match. I can watch it over again every once in a while and not be tired of it. But I'm not sure about its GOAT status. It probably was back then, because it was a masterpiece in a show/company that even then put far more focus on spectacle and moments than actual match quality.
It's probably just barely outside my top ten.

Because WWF's match quality was fucking garbage and Savage/Steamboat put on a genuinely great match and really upstaged Hogan/Andre.
It was before my time but I saw it as a kid in the 00's and it blew my mind still. It's a great fucking match

Macho Manetty never drew a dime, Dick Blood deserved to go over and bury the kike.

This.

The fact that it holds up and is still a good match when it originates from an era that is almost painful to revisit speaks volumes.

As with Citizen Kane, it has been copied and modified and stolen from and discussed to the point of common cliche. Guys still take lessons from this match that we see today, which is why there is "nothing special" about it.

>>2442066
because that stuff literally didn't happen in the WWF. Either the heel cheated and won, the babyface beat the odds and won. There were no false finishes

>>2442168
Is that you old spice

>>2442168
take off your trip

I agree.

The Steamboat/Flair matches were better.

Nice photoshop

But only rednecks watched them. Wrestlemania III was a huge event during the peak of the Rock and Wrestling era

Meme match spouted by indians to seem like they know what they are talking about

No it didnt
Stop spouting shit about a meme match you have never see

It was an NWA style match in a company that mostly had shit wrestling.

Are you old spice or not cause you say the same shit as he does and are usuing one of his names
