GREATEST WRESTLING MATCHES THAT NEVER GET OLD TO WATCH

WrestleMania never gets old, even in your fifties. You’ve probably seen old geezers enjoying wrestling matches with their grandchildren or the rest of the family. If you can remember about Summer Slam and The Rock, then it is that time that we take you back to history and unveil the best wrestling matches of all times. 

Some players may have been promoted to glory (may Eddie Guerrero's soul rest in peace), but their legacy and greatness still lives on and will continue living in the generations to come. 

However, we should also acknowledge that modern-day wrestling is getting better compared to what we had before. For instance, other than just watching, you can also place a wager on your favorite fighter when playing slots online.  

In other words, when your best guy wins, the winning comes in doubles, and the higher you stake, the greater the winnings! Now, away from that, here are the greatest wrestling matches that WrestleMania will always live to enjoy any day:  

• The Rock Vs. Mankind 

The Rock and Mankind wrestled the most violent match in the history of WWE in 1999. Well, if you also think it's not great or violent enough, what do you think about being hit with a metallic chair on the face 11 times? Okay, now what about that act being done in the full glare of the wife and kids? You can imagine how violent and traumatic it was. For the first time, many people thought that Wrestle Mania wrestlers are losing it psychologically. Remember, this match happened barely four years after Shawn Michaels did the unthinkable on Ramon with steel, in similar like fashion.  

• The Rock Vs. Steve Austin 

Who doesn't know the beef between The Rock and Stone Cold? These two people have wrestled for umpteen times, showing their undying passion and rage of defeating each other. However, the match in 2003 was something different! The match was sizzling fire! There were no battle lines drawn here, and if it were not for the three rock bottoms, two snip busters, and the many assistant referees, today we would be talking about something else! Nevertheless, The Rock and Steve Austin coming together at the ring, still remain the best moments of wrestling! 

• Bret Hart Vs. Steve Austin 

Bret Hart and Steve Austin fought one of the most important matches in the history of wrestling, which also acted as a debut for the legendary Steve Austin. It was at this match that Stone cold stole the show and bagged most of Hart's fans after he was knocked down violently and started bleeding profusely. Well, despite that, he kept on his resilience, and the fans loved it. Or, maybe Harts's act of beating him while still down just made him the biggest heel of his time, and Stone cold the hero. 

• Razor Ramon VS. Shawn Michaels  

Well, it seems like Shawn Michaels was the heel during his times. His match against the undertaker did not only elevate him but also made him one of the iconic wrestlers ever to grace the WrestleMania. In 1995, the first-ever ladder match in the history of SummerSlam championship was witnessed between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels. And if you haven't managed to get a glimpse of the match, then you don't know how it feels when a heavyweight full steel ladder lands on the back of a human being as you watch. In fact, Shawn Michaels, the self-proclaimed "Sexy Boy," did a revolutionary thing. Shawn Michaels won the match! 

• Randy Savage Vs. Ricky Steamboat 

Finally, we have all witnessed movie-like escapades that happened live, right in from of the full glare of cameras. It would be great if we also reflect on the match between Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat, which attracted all sorts of positive criticism. Well, the match was professional, with no attitude or overrunning emotions as it had always been. Such professionalism is only demonstrated when playing poker! The execution of both players was flawless, and the crowd was nothing ordinary! 

Most great wrestling matches have something that is out of the ordinary to show. Well, just like you are advised in every episode of Smackdown or Wrestle Mania, you should never try anything at home because wrestlers are highly trained and experienced to endure pain. To them, fighting is a career, and they do it professionally to minimize the chances of grave harm.
