WCW was the first American wrestling promotion I got into as a fan. It's still my favourite promotion of all time. Thankyou for showing the good side of WCW.

@@NostalgikOne Rey Mysterio, Eddy Guerrero, and Dean Malenko were the best wrestlers to me at that time.

That Raven vs DDP vs Benoit triple threat was AWESOME! I remember watching it live and loved it!

An honorable mention for me is Booker T vs Jeff Jarrett at Bash at the Beach 2000. Yes, the PPV was terrible but if there's one match to see, it's this one. Seeing Booker T finally win the big one after seven years in WCW is a memorable moment.

Bash at the Beach 2000 is indeed the most infamous shows in wrestling history. It was covered by last season's Dark Side of the Ring episode. But yeah, the only good moment on that night was Booker T winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett. It was a good match.

People always overplay the 2000s WCW sucked. Imo it was already rebounding with The Natural Born Thrillers, Steiner, Booker T ETC.

WCW deserves more positive attention -- it did a LOT right, and no matter how much people complain about it, it was WCW that reignited interest in professional wrestling in the late 1990s and forced Vince to improve his stale product.

As far as Liger vs Pillman two days after he won the title from Brian in December they had a match at a house show,in New Jersey. I felt privileged to have been there, wish there was footage of that match.

Eddie and Malenko had a an absolute banger on Nitro in late 95/early 96. It was my first time seeing either of them and my god, I was hooked on their style for years to come. I was praying that match would be included, if for no other reason, so that I could find out what Nitro it aired on and go watch it again.

Though I lived in NY as a kid and my dad was a WWF fan, after finding WCW on TBS, it was (and stayed) my favorite until around the end of 98 when it just got too stupid for me to enjoy anymore. I'm legitimately going to take the time to watch all 50 of these matches over the course of the next couple weeks or so. Great job.

You will enjoy the wrestling matches

Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne vs Nasty Boyz was like watching wrestling from another planet when it first showed up in WCW in 1994. It was insane and absolutely amazing. I had seen Sting vs Jack before this but the tag match was the first time you saw a ECW like match on major PPV

Would also highly recommend sting vs ddp on nitro for wcw championship.

Ok. Now do 50 Jim Crockett Promotions/NWA Matches to watch just once Adam.

A fantastic list of great matches. With their being only ("only") 50, of course there will be matches missing that could have easily made the cut. For me, one match that would be included is Raven & Saturn vs. Malenko & Benoit from Spring Stampede '99. An amazingly good tag-match with a mesh of styles, it really is one to seek out (Spring Stampede '99 as a whole is a great show, so check out the whole thing).

Yes! Kept expecting to see them especially in the top 10.

A tag team title match from Halloween Havoc 1992 is among the longest matches in WCW PPV history (tied with Steamboat/Rick Rude 30-minute Iron Man match )

I don't know if i missed it, but Hulk vs Lex when Lex won the title and War Games 96 because of how dramatic it was when no one trusted Sting.

I would love to see one of these lists for both ECW and Impact/TNA.

The Benoit vs Hart match was classic. Hart actually wanted Benoit to go over, but the bookers wouldn't let it happen, apparently.

Ric Flair was 44 when he won the title from Vader (Vader was about 38).. Orton is 43, Styles and Cena are now 46, Mysterio is 49.

Good list!

I've always thought Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat from Clash at the Champions VI was the best of the 1989 trilogy while WrestleWar was by far the worst.

Austin vs Steamboat.

Yes!

Older wcw was pretty decent definitely better than wwe in 95😂😂😂

I would love to see Sami Zayn do them moves when he dethrones Gunther at mania

Actually not a bad list, but probably could have expanded to 75. Could have easily included: Sting vs DDP from Nitro Hogan vs Luger from Nitro Windham/Rhodes vs Doc & Gordy from Saturday Night Nastys vs Steiners from Halloween Havoc Midnights vs RnR Express from WrestleWar Benoit vs Booker from Great American Bash Hogan vs Vader from SuperBrawl Larry Zbyszko vs Steven Regal from Saturday Night Just to name a few.
