I'd put both title matches at Wrestlemania 23 over the DG 6 man, can't honestly remember much from that MITB. Can't imagine it would beat Number 1 though as my favourite, simply because Benoit managed to create an engaging sub story into the match which payed off in the finish. Smackdown's MITB this year also gets a lot of love simply because Bryan won and I thought they did a better than usual job of delivering believeable false finishes.

What is really come's down to is how high a person is willing to rate a spot fest.

Personally I'm not willing to go over **** on most.

On one hand the wrestler's went out there to put on that kind of match and they did it damn well and the crowd loved it. On the other hand it was more like a gym show then a fight, they went totally against the basic's and some could say made wrestling look fake with all the high impact spot's and lack of selling.

With DG tags you don't HAVE to tag your partner to make them legal, you can just roll out of the ring and then your partner can run in and become legal. They normally actually tag in and out during the middle portion of a match when one team has control of the match and then during the chaotic start and finish segments they just roll in and out.

Tags aren't needed in DG. The wrestlers just do it for show. Looks to me like anyone can be legal. There are spots where all three wrestlers on the same team are in the ring, one of them putting an opponent in a submission and the other two stand in the ring to block the other opponents from coming in. The babyface wrestlers usually want to make the physical tag during a face-in-peril situation because they have honor, I guess.

****1/2 for DG Supercard of Honor I

Still don't have any five stars, heh. Not likely I'll ever rate anything five stars since I'm mainly sticking to DG and recent WWE. Might check out some Tozawa matches from his US Tour but I don't think anyone's rated any of his matches five stars.

Nah, nothing that high, but definitely worth watching. Both his matches with Hero and his tag with Steen against Generico/Ricochet are in the ****1/2 range (for me anyway).

yeah, I dont get how them tagging is a contradiction. I see the same thing in certain Lucha Libre tag matches, where they do not need to make a physical tag, but they do it anyway (why not? it's basically another form of communication). DG based their rules off a certain Lucha Libre match, so when a guy falls out the ring, the other guy is allowed to come in.

As for every thing else, it's just as inconsistent as any other tag match. I can't think of too many tag matches where guys are not cheating and the ref isn't doing anything about it.

Yeah, Marufuji's matches with heavyweight veterans were awesome in 2006, and when you watch those matches, it becomes clear as day why they booked him to win the GHC Hewiki.
 
#861 · (Edited)
I personally find them both overrated but I don't understand how someone can knock Rock/Hogan as a five star match yet praise Cena/Punk in the same way. Neither matches are technically sound but both had electric atmosphere, awesome crowd interaction and a cool little story going in. If Cena and Punk had wrestled like Benoit and Bret Hart then I would understand but fact is they didn't and Rock/Hogan has just as much claim to being a five star match as their bout does.

no. punk/cena put on an exciting match in an exciting atmosphere where the winner was in doubt. punk/cena, while having botches still had a great match. rock/hogan put on a garbage match, with a garbage storyline, where the winner was never in doubt. by your logic we should just go ahead and give cena/rock 5* right now because it will be an incredible atmosphere and a garbage storyline.

also adding to my list:
michaels vs undertaker @ WM 25. watched this around a month ago after having not seen it since it happened and it is an incredible match. i then watched the rematch and that is the most overrated pile of garbage i've ever seen. it's on par with hhh/undertaker this year which i gave something like ***1/4 to.

The Clash match is the best US match ever, IMO (#2 overall).

The Wrestlewar and Chi-Town Rumble matches are both terrific as well, but Clash is just fucking amazing. They have two house show matches from the same day (3/17/89) that are right at the level of Wrestlewar and Chi-Town. Two matches that good in the same day. Crazy shit. And it's not like they wrestled the same match, either. Shit, the second match even has a spot that plays off the finish of the first one.

I definitely think that's the best ROH match I've seen and probably a top 3 match of the 2000s. I have a question about it though, Dragon's leg was taped; where'd that stem from? Nigel only got one shot on it IIRC and I don't remember the commentators talking it up.
