TLC 2 has some of the best high spots in wrestling history. It paved the way for future stunt-show type matches in wrestling, which exploded in popularity and frequency after this match.

Bret/Austin has some of the best storytelling in wrestling history. Some of the best psychology. It provided us with arguably the most memorable moment in wrestling history, and was wrestling's most effective double turn. It was a landmark moment in the careers of two of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and it helped to create the biggest draw in the history of wrestling.

Which match should win really depends on what you look for from a wrestling match. For me, it's Bret/Austin without a shadow of a doubt. I think it's more historically significant, and a more enjoyable match to watch generally. TLC peaks at certain moments - the big high spots. Whereas Bret/Austin is excellently paced and builds to a conclusion.

I'm gunning for Hart/Austin to win this whole thing.

Anybody agree?

TLC 2 is great car crash entertainment. Probably the best match of it's type, with 3 of the best tag teams of all time in the WWE.

Hart/Austin is just art. There's no other way to describe it. It's fucking art and I defy anyone to tell me otherwise.
