@@sillyman-bandzBret Hart vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 was NOT an "I Quit" match. It was a Submission match, featuring Ken Shamrock as the special guest referee.
Melina vs Beth was so good and it's one of the main matches I bring up whenever someone is trashing the divas era. Just IMAGINE what gem they could've given us if management gave the divas more time and freedom.
Two more examples of good specialty matches from the WWE's Ruthless Aggression Divas Era: The Survivor Series 2002 first ever women's Hardcore match for the WWE Women's Championship between defending champion Trish Stratus & Victoria & the first ever women's Steel Cage match on Monday Night Raw in late 2003 between Victoria & Lita.
Beth vs Melina is part of why i love them both so much, especially the former It really helped show Beth as a buff powerhouse and Melina showing how great her flexibility actually could be
I know these are WCW/NWA I Quit matches but since WWE owns WCW anyway, i want to include the following: 1. Magnum T.A. vs Tully Blanchard at Starcade 2. Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk at Clash of the Champions.
I was there live for the Cena vs. Batista match. It was a real high point on a pretty cursed show. Lots of weird injuries that night, but they capped it off with a pretty rad main event. It’s Detroit. Gotta have cars n shit
I remembered going into the JBL v Cena match with the thought of "well, it can't be as bloody as JBL's last match at Judgment Day." The fact it happened in pretty much the same chair spot by the same announce area was just... yeah, have never forgotten either match. Solid pick for number 1 ^^
The craziest most memorable thing for me all these years, seeing Cena vs JBL, as vivid as ever I will never for the the "Hell Nooooo" Cena does when he has the cable around his neck and how it sounded so garlgey like he was choking on blood. Spinetingling
That john cena-batista rivalry is probably one of the closest times Cena acted as a heel in the Super Cena era. Tying Batista’s legs so he cant stand in a last man standing match, showing no mercy after Batista quit already, this Cena was ruthless af
@@Samish42 That one is just too hard to watch compared to the match with Cena, but what are the odds that JBL has two matches at Judgement Day back-to-back where his opponent botches a blade job?
The Rock & Mankind one is uncomfortable to watch near the end of the match with the excessive amounts of unprotected chair shots. But man, the visual of Rock standing over him after destroying him looked badass.
Imo, "I quit" matches should be the ender of blood feuds. Hell in a Cell are punishing, but if you get you oponent to openly admir that you can't handle your oponent anymore, that should be the mark of your oponent admiting that they are better, for good.
I was about to shout that Hart vs. Backlund at the Surviver Series 1994 was the first "I quit"- match because it was built around the two opposing finishers Crossface Chickenwing and Sharpshooter. But no sadly that WM11- match has that fame.
judgment day 05 is what got me watching wrestling. My best friend and i were casual fans (about age 9). watched it when we could but never got upset when we forgot it was on. Then one day at walmart we saw judgement day 05 in the dvd section. asked his dad if we could get it just for something to watch that weekend. oh lord we watched the whole ppv all weekend but specifically that match over and over. made us super cena fans for years. Got my mom to buy us day of reckoning 2. one of my favorite games of all time still. Its left off of best wrestling games lists all the time, probably since it was a console exclusive, but if you played it you know! what a time to be a wrestling fan!
Bit of a recurring theme of the face about to hit the heel with a devastating move, the heel quitting, then the face hitting then anyway. Classic face move
@@optimus2008it's not always about miz using his strength to beat Cena , A clever booker can have miz kidnap cena father and have Alex Riley try to hang him up or whatever deranged act in a recorded footage if Cena doesn't say " I quit"..but that's too creative for 2010s Vince
well, there were some really good I Quit matches not in WWE, like the famous Starrcade 85 match between Tully Blanchard and Magnum T.A., and the Terry Funk vs Ric Flair match at Clash of the Champions
I can understand why the Steve Austin/Ken Shamrock match was a failure is because Austin was NOT a submission wrestler at this point of his career maybe when he was in WCW and as the Ring master in his early WWF/E career. What I like about the Jeff and Matt Hardy I quit match was the ending where Matt was begging Jeff not to jump and he quits and Jeff does his move anyway. I remember that I quit match from Royal Rumble 99 because Vince was pissed because of what happened during that match.
He'll Yeah I loved how flexible melina was lol especially when fighting Beth I thought this was another match had her in a move like that too but this one was beating her with her own foot lol
* Reads Description * It astounds me to think Mick switched back to Mankind after being Pedigree'd onto thumbtacks to take on the winner of the Royal Rumble.
Am I completely misremembering or was the Austin vs. Bret Wrestlemania match originally called an "I Quit" match? It wasn't wrestled like one but I feel it was originally called it.
I was very confused that Stone Cold vs Bret at WrestleMania 13 wasn't on this list, then I checked and it was a "No DQ Submission Match" which is only technically not an "I Quit" match.
Yeahhhhhhhh... No. I'll admit the top two are the top two, no doubt.. But! You absolutely got them backwards, bruv. Nothing will beat the legitimacy of Rock v Mankind at the Rumble when it comes to "I Quit" matches. I really like Cena v JBL but it's definitely number two here. A very, very close number two, though.
Personally I think Vince vs Stephanie was great. Am I the only one that’s never understood why it’s looked at so contentiously? It’s a wrestling show and the story leading up to the match had me invested. Believe me, he’s done much worse to her irl, that storyline/match is tame by comparison.
So, in the Shamrock vs Stone Cold match, you said that Shamrock lost by being ko'd...but at Clash last week, the ref told AJ he couldn't win because Cody hadn't said "I Quit" yet, because Cody was knocked out...the writer in WWE don't know their own rules sometimes lol
@@DYLANKNAPP94 of course, I believe that...especially with McMahon being in the writers room and always making demands about the scripts...so, I believe you are 100% correct...but I just found it ironic is all after what happened at Clash last week lol
Why why is Stone Cold versus Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 I quit matches not on here that was truly the greatest I quit of all time It was a double turn it's a damn shame it's not on here
The Rock vs Mankind match annoys me because The Rock says into the mic many times "say I quit" and that should count as him saying it, mankind should have won 🤷♀
Ok i was just watching a video on thr big bang theory, you have no right walking in my house and slapping me with that disrespect, now get out my walls (youll wake up the termites)
@@Brown87 he probably forgot it happened I forgot it happened until I saw your comment and JBL is my favorite wrestler. I’m watchin the match again right now lol
As soon as you are put in a I quit match against john cena you know you're screwed nobody can make him say I quit lol I liked the Lana dolph love triangle she was hot love to be in that lip lock just like with aj lee who dolph had some awesome lip locks with too lol
I remember watching the rock and mankind match live as a kid in the UK on channel 4 at god knows what time in the morning and was convinced the rock cheated as mankinds voice was clearly pumped in and not him talking. It was so obvious I'm surprised they never made a story out of it.
Why did Chavito Heat betray Rey Rey Junior. In the Attitude Era they should have had an "I Shit" Match. Now, the rules are obvious. The guy who makes his opponent shit his pants gets the "W". They could do this match stipulation now. I just say the Attitude Era because it would have fit in better in that era. Yeah, "I Shit" match. The ref would have to sniff the arse or pull back the tights and have a quick peak to see if the deed had been done. Imagine, Trish vs. Lita in an "I Shit" match.
you would think that after all the times the finish to an i quit match has been wrestler threatens to do something, other guy quits, winner does thing anyway, that wrestlers would just say no fuck go on, if your going to do it anyway whats the fucking point
Man, a lot of these matches end with "I quit! Please don't hit me with that huge move and or weapon!" and then they do it anyway
And somehow it’s almost always the freaking babyface 🤣😭
Yeah shit is anticlimactic. Ruined Cody Vs AJ for me lol
Honestly I love it. It's like the babyface saying, "Oh, NOW you wanna quit? And then you go all please have mercy? TAKE THIS!" 😂😂😂😂
Most of them had it coming. Especially JBL. Honestly, the Babyfaces held back.
@@JShadow6661Cody should've hit AJ with the steel steps first, then after that he threatened to throw it
On paper, an "I Quit" match is ethier a technical back and forth or an hardcore match.
It’s basically a submission match without having to end in a submission
"It may have dragged a lil in places. It is a modern Edge match, afterall."
Shots fired lol
My all time favorite "I Quit" match is JBL vs John Cena at Judgement Day.
That was a blood bath
The rock and mankind match Bret vs Austin bob backlund vs bret are the 3 best I quit match
@@sillyman-bandz Brett vs Austin is overrated

A lot of babyfaces making the heels quit because they don’t want to take a big bump and then the babyface making them take that bump anyway
Haa!
That's because "heros never quit."
😆👍
Melina vs Beth Phoenix was my favorite match when I was a kid! So iconic
Feel like I should point out that the Vince/Stephanie match was SIX DAYS BEFORE HER ACTUAL REAL WEDDING.
Damn, talk about a wedding present, 😅 this family really is screwed up
And then there's pictures of her, Vince, and Triple H all happy and smiling 😂

John Cena sitting up realizing "Crap. This is a lot of blood for having just bladed, I think maybe I went a little deep."

Cena vs JBL at Judgment Day 2005 is the most bloody match ever.
Not even close to being true.
It's unfortunately not even JBL's bloodiest match. His match with Eddie Guerrero 2004 at Judgment Day is even worse than this one.
@@Samish42 That one is just too hard to watch compared to the match with Cena, but what are the odds that JBL has two matches at Judgement Day back-to-back where his opponent botches a blade job?
@@Samish42 The scary thing is that neither of those matches compare to the insanity that was going on in Japanese death matches.
@@RichWhiteUM That is indeed 100% accurate. Some of these matches are just plain butchery.
Mick Foley's hands WERE NOT TIED BEHIND HIS BACK in his I Quit match against The Rock. They were HANDCUFFED.

Piper: “What do you say, do you quit?”
Backlund: “WHOAYEAGHRAHGHGRAH!”
Piper: “Ring the bell!”
There was also one with JBL vs Scotty 2 Hottie on an episode of Smackdown leading up to the Cena/JBL match
The "Big Bang Theory" hate is definitely mutual. Fuck that show.
Huh? I didn't even pick up on that, I've never watched the show based on how horrible commercials for it were.
@@XThirdEyeXyou made the right choice
The Rock Vs Mankind And John Cena Vs JBL I Quit Matches Are My Two Favorites.
I was in attendance for #1. Six rows behind the announce table.
I forgot the whole Alicia Fooooox thing lead to a I Quit match! I vaguely remember this feud
High praise for JBL for putting such heel work
Adam needs to oil up for the next news video.
Damn… that Chavo v Rey feud was so nostalgic, I remember watching both matches 😭

John Cena vs JBL was a masterpiece.
How dare you guys leave off the legendary Jack Gallagher vs Ariya Daivari "I Yield" match
* Reads Description * It astounds me to think Mick switched back to Mankind after being Pedigree'd onto thumbtacks to take on the winner of the Royal Rumble.
The number of I Quit matches on standard TV is shocking. Whenever "I Quit" is mentioned, I immediately think "PPV feud closer".
fantastic list!
