Top five WWE matches that ended in a draw
When the most intense sporting duel is being experienced, we all want a decisive winner to emerge out of the match. However, life is not that kind sometimes, and the best matches end up being declared a draw. Here are some WWE matches which could have etched their names in history had they been more decisive, but, ended up in a no-contest.
Shawn Michaels vs Triple H at Royal Rumble 2004
Best friends in real life and founders of one of the most popular factions wrestling has ever seen, Shawn Michaels and Triple H had a go at each other at Royal Rumble 2004, and boy what a fight it was! A lot of blood, sweat and passion flowed that day but ended in a no-contest, with both superstars needing assistance to go out.
Edge vs Randy Orton at Over The Limit 2010
Two supremely talented performers, Edge and Randy Orton were into an intense battle at Over The Limit 2010, working up the crowd pretty well and each move they made in the ring was hitting the note perfectly. But a freak incident saw Orton dislocating his shoulder, botching up the RKO+Spear move planned for the finish, and the two stars ended up being counted out.
Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle: 60-minute Iron Man match 2005
These two are among the best ever, but Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle facing each other can never remain under-hyped, and so it was on that fateful day in 2005. What was on display was technical mastery, athleticism, and amazing co-working between the legends. What went missing was a win, since time ran out a second before Michaels went for a pin.
CM Punk vs Samoa Joe: Ring of Honor 2004
CM Punk and Samoa Joe worked at Ring of Honor before breaking into the WWE, and in 2004 these two future champions delivered a match that could be called nothing but perfect. Both equally proficient in their craft, they mixed different styles of wrestling to give the audience a thrilling time, and no one was left disappointed when the match ended in a draw.
Ric Flair vs Sting: Clash of Champions 1988
When two names which are taken with the highest reverence in the world of pro-wrestling enter the ring, history is waiting to happen. And it did, with these technical geniuses keeping the audience thrilled as Flair helped sell Sting as the next-big-thing. The match ended in a draw as the time-limit had past, but what was put on show that night was a masterpiece.
