Kane dragging guys to hell, and the best series of matches between two wrestlers
By Scott Keith on September 9, 2016
Hey Scott,
I have two very different questions:
1. What do you think is the best series of matches ever had by two wrestlers. I would imagine everyone assumes it’s Steamboat/Flair, but don’t you think Shawn/Taker has surpassed them. Two 5-star (and very different matches) plus three other near-classics. And I think they’re much more rewatchable than Flair/Steamboat.
And what other series’s would you put on the list: Punk/Cena? Sting/Vader? Any others?
2.
Sorry in advance but I’ve always wondered: when Kane or The Undertaker pops-up from underneath the ring and drags someone to hell, what happens next? What if it’s the middle of the show? Do Kane and the other guy have to wait under the ring for the rest of the show? Or do they crawl out during a commercial break all embarrassed in front of the live audience? I feel like that would be a long walk of shame back to the dressing room.
1. Flair and Steamboat had three ***** matches in 1989 alone, plus a bunch more on the house show circuit and even more in their previous feud, then came back in 1994 and had another pair of them that were nearly ***** as well. For me they still win. For me, Shawn and Undertaker were such vastly different workers at the points where they originally met and then when they met again that it’s like not even part of the same "series". Also, I’d say that Misawa and Kobashi had a pretty good series of matches.
2. They have a large rolling trunk that looks like part of the rigging equipment, which typically gets rolled out under the guise of setting up cables and lights, and the guys pop in and out through a compartment in the side.
