The fight started in melee and it stayed that way, Spider-man never had the chance to web up Wolverine... the only other thing Spider-man could have done in the situation was sit back and let Wolverine kick his ass.And Spider-man doesn't have experience to dwarf other heroes. He has a appearance that started earlier then most but story wise he is only in his mid thirties. Most heroes have combat experience that dwarfs his. And how smart of a fighter could Spider-man possibly be? His fighting style has him jumping around like a jack rabit on crack. That is prehaps the worst possible fighting style for someone in his speed class.
In his comic-lifetime, Spidey has been fighting crime for about 20+ years now. And it wasn't just thugs. For 20+ years, he's been fighting super-powered villians. Villians that he's had to adapt to again and again each time they fight. Villians that would tear Wolverine apart (Venom, Carnage, Morlun, etc.). And yet, he comes out victorious everytime. Because not only is he a scientific genius, over the years he's become a combat genius as well. Spider-Man is the most resourceful superhero there is, in my opinion. He knows he has to and does adapt to each and every fight like it's the first time. He doesn't just jump "around like a jack rabit on crack". He uses his powers efficiently to attack his opponents from all different angles, hardly ever using the exact same move twice. Which makes him pretty much completely unpredictable, which has proven to be one of his trademark abilities. He's the best at figuring out his opponent on the fly. In the case against Wolverine, even a moderately-well-written Spider-Man would realize, "Hey, punching him in the face isn't working. I think I'll punch him elsewhere now. Perhaps even web him. Since, you know, I have that ability and all when my writer allows me to remember all of my powers/abilities/skills/techniques." Spidey has fought people up close in melee before and was still always able to use his webbing. The proximity to his opponent means absolutely nothing. It's not like it takes him days to shoot his webbing, it's all in the flick of his wrist. He's done it before in countless fights. Doc Ock comes to mind (who would be much harder to do to, since Peter would have many more risks and dangers heading for him).
Basically, Wolverine's "I'm a badass which means I win" and Spidey's "I must surrender to the badass-ness of Wolverine" jobbing techniques do not apply in this case. In this hypothetical match, both well-written and such, and not forgetting their powers/abilities/skills/techniques...Spider-Man stomps Wolverine.

I can respond to this more indepth later but I'm about to leave to go watch Superman: Returns.
Anyway I didn't say that Spider-man couldn't use his webs in melee only that it wouldn't be effective. The main reason is that, in this instance, he was already enganged in combat with Wolverine. He would have need a free arm to use his web shooters and letting up for a second would have resualted in Wolverine gaining the upper hand. Also there is the fact that the webbing isn't nearly as effective up close as it is with anysort of range. Being at range allows Spider-man the time he needs to do something note worthy with his webbing as he has the time to able a constant "stream" of web. Would he have this luxory in melee? How long could he keep the pressure applied to his web shooters? I honestly can't see him applying enough webbing to Wolverine in that situation for it to be more then a minor annoyance; certainly not enough to slow him down.
Does a well writen Spider-man beat Wolverine? Yes. Wolverine doesn't stand much of a change of beating Peter who is using his head (as I have said many, many times) but this is because Spider-man fighting smart would never allow a confrontation between them to get in to melee. If... IF the two of them did get into a melee battle Wolverine would win and it would be as much of a none fight as it would be for Spider-man fighting at range (in other words Wolverine would kick his ass hard and fast)

I still don't agree that Spider-Man would lose in melee combat either. Sure, Wolverine is incredible at melee combat...with people in his own league. But Spider-Man is leaps and bounds away from Wolverine. If Wolverine's league is America, Spidey's is Japan. That far away.
Every move Wolvie does would be dodged with the greastest of ease. I don't get how people easily accept Spidey dodging four super-fast, super-strong tentacles at once, IN MELEE RANGE, and do just fine. But as soon as it's melee with Wolverine, it's a completele different story. Why is this?
Spidey could potentially strike Wolverine at least 3 times to everytime Wolverine tries to strike. And then there's the spider-sense, which will alert Spidey as to when and where Wolverine's attack is meant for, enabling him to dodge it with little effort.
And I'm curious. Why wouldn't even close-up webs prove to be a problem? You say that wouldn't slow Wolverine down. Has Wolverine gotten a Hulk-strength upgrade recently? Even cutting the webs will take him a few moments, drastically slowing him down. What's to stop Spidey from knocking Wolverine to the ground and webbing his arms, legs, torso, then head to the ground? It doesn't even matter where the battle takes place, the ground is constant.
I just don't understand how this is even an issue.

He is far from a combat genius. He does not have the fighting skill a combat mind that many other heroes have. Yes peter is smart. But he no genius when it comes to fighting.Appearances yes. Experience hell no. He has some were between 15 to 20 years experience and a lot of the time was spent in school. He is not that experienced when place next to wolverine or capt or namor and so on.
He did that same shit to morlun and venom and so on.
Spidey has 20+ years of fighting experience on his side, fighting all sorts of super-powered villians. If that doesn't equal combat brilliance (he's still here, isn't he?), then I'd like to know what does.
All of Wolverine's life wasn't spent fighting super-powered villians either. All that "combat experience" Wolverine has is punking normal humans. Armed, have martial-arts skills or not, they're still normal humans. Peter has been punking super-powered villians his whole career. Villians that would destroy Wolverine. And yet, he still comes out on top.
Really though, what else could Spider-Man have done against Morlun and Venom? They were his superiors in every aspect. He already threw every other idea he had at them. In his mind, his only chance was to try and pummel them to death. Wolverine would've fared MUCH worse against either Venom or Morlun.

Wolverine would fair so much better then spiderman. Spiderman did not have the durability nor the stamina that wolverine has which would aid wolverine extremely well in a match vs. Morlun. Not to mention Spiderman first fight with Morlun he had no real means to hurt Morlun that how ever is not true pf Wolverine. Wolverine could claw the shit out of Morlun.
Nuthing just like he could do nothing at that point to wolverine.
So he could not had A) Web him B) Hit him in somewhere else then the hardest part on his body? Such as stomach where there is NO ADAMANTIUM? Spider-Man could just put his fist through it and rip his heart out if he truly would be out to kill him.

Spiderman can not punch his fist through wolverines chest and ripp out his heart. it no gunna happen. he can't do it and based on comic evidences.

Spiderman is a martial artist, he is a fighter and he does have skillz, for real. The fights with Spiderman and Wolverine being used as reference have no inherent value to the forum rules and the fight.
They already would have a basic knowledge of each others powers, he would know about the metal in his skeleton. Also DC said he could rip out his heart by punching up from his stomach to his chest cavity, easy for the Spiderman....................

Do you really not under stand why webbing isn't useful up close in melee combat 'cause I thought my point was pretty clear. I'll do my best to straighten it out further though. Okay - imagine I'm spraying you with a can of silly string. Now the longer I spray you more silly string is going to be on you but in order to do this I need to keep my finger on the "trigger" and apply a constant stream of string. Spider-man with a decent range can get enough webbing on a person to bind them and slow their movement before the can into melee range with him. If he tried to do this in melee he wouldn't have enough time to apply enough webbing before his opponent moved, slapped his had out of the way or a opted for a variety of other options. For webbing to be effective in a melee range it would require one to believe that Spider-man's opponent isn't fronting any sort of defence. When fighting some one with superhuman speed, reflexes and amazing fighting skill like Wolverine in melee combat Spider-man's webbing will do little more the leave an annoying glob of webbing in the initial area he targeted.
As much as Spider-man fans hate to admit it Wolverine (and Captain America, and Daredevil and Black Panther etc) are all well in the same speed class as Spider-man. While me may be faster the speed difference is so minuscule that it brings nothing to the table. At the end of the day they all have speed feats on par with each other and their is nothing to suggest that Spider-man is so much faster that he can avoid their attacks with ease (in fact the evidence is weighed heavly to support the opposite). The only "argument" - and I use the word loosely - that is mounted being that Spider-man is superhuman therefor he must be faster then these characters... dispite the fact that hey all share the same speed feats, all have proven the have (at the very least) some degree of superspeed and have all on more then one occasion exchanged blows with each other. So why is Spider-man so much faster then Wolverine?
As for Spider-man haveing villains that would beat Wolverine. Oh, I wonder if Wolverine has enemies that could beat Spider-man handedly? How about Mauvias? You remember him? You know the guy who had ever power Murlon had PLUS telekinesis, mind control, energy blasts, teleportation and the ability to resurrect the dead. Or maybe Omega Red. Or how about Sabretooth. Every villain Spider-man has that could beat Wolverine would (and do) kick Spider-man's ass until he wins via a handy plot device.

Spiderman can't punch through wolverines chest. based on comics evdiences that straight up impossable

Captain America to Spider-Man, New Avengers #3: "Every time I fight beside you, I am impressed."
Sure, he is not a skilled fighter...he's only fought crime continually for like...twenty years without a pause. He is a skilled fighter, a self-taught one, yes, but a skilled one nonetheless. It is simply a fact. He's developed his own fighting style to work with his powers.
And Spider-Man has punched through harder things then Wolverine's stomach, which can be easily be passed by things like knives. Spider-Man punches steel doors off their hinges. Punches through cars. That's your comic evidence right there.
