The Punk DVD arrived 2 days early, so I watched the doc as soon as I got in and it's fantastic, it's up there with the best docs the Wwe have produced, it's honest, it's interesting and it's well paced, loved the ammount of time his indie career got and the chapter on his struggles to get a fair shot while in OVW then ECW was great.

The special features were great aswell, never heard the fractured skull story and i would love to know the guy was he wanted to punch in the face( you'll know what I mean when you see it)

So while is ECW doc is likely the best they have ever done, this is certainly in the top 3 for me, now roll on the matches!

***** Rock matches?

Hogan WM18
Austin WM17
Austin WM19 (best possible match they could have done at that time with Austin's condition, perfect ending to Austin's career, Rock's sportsmanship/respect at the end...)

I'm drawing a blank everywhere else. I haven't seen vs HHH JD2000, and NWO 01 vs Angle more than once so I can't remember those at all.

Mania 17 is a 5 star match, but the other two certainly are not.

I'm a bit biased on the WM19 one, WM18 is a ***** to me though. Not based off the in ring work, obviously, but everything else.

He's never had one, the closest he's been is with Austin at WM17

PPV Title matches: Flair/Savage, Cena/Umaga and Eddie/JBL would be top ten for me pretty easily. I watched Flair/Savage a month or two ago and it really blew me away with how much it held up.
This match is a marvel to watch. It holds up very well after over 20 years. They paced and executed almost everything perfectly. I think it's one of the better championship matches in WrestleMania history.

R.I.P Clique :(

Not seen Flair/Savage in sometime, but agree with Yeah about Cena/Umaga and Eddie/JBL deserving high regard. Would probably have Punk/Cena MITB, Angle/Austin Summerslam, Mankind/HBK Mind Games and Cena/HBK Wrestlemania 23 really high as well. Then there'd be a ton of matches which could replace one another to fill out the rest of a top 10 and top 20.

Edit: Oh dear lord at these new usertitles, I'm feckin Petey Williams. Gonna have to start eclipsing Pyro in terms of posts per day to rid myself of such shame.

But your name's not Eddie Guerrero, or Jerry Lawler, or Dick Murdoch, or Terry Funk, or Yoshiaki Fujiwara, or Genichiro TENRYU (capitalised for added awesomeness), or Toshiaki Kawada, or Ric Flair, or Finlay, or El Satanico. I could go on :p

Also whilst I have you in conversation, what's the exact rules per se with the classic section? Would I be permitted to make a World of Sport (British Wrestling from the 70s-late 80s) Discussion thread since it is classic wrestling, or would it be unwise and is the section more geared towards classic US territories rather than all forms of wrestling? I say this knowing full well I'll probably fail like Craig trying to go sober with keeping the thread updated with regular match reviews depending on how job hunting goes, but would rather ask here instead of a PM.

Rock/Austin WrestleMania 17 is the only ***** match The Rock really had. Hogan/Rock was amazing, but the match itself wasn't great. The fans made that match. Rock/Austin at WM19 is about a ****. Considering Austin's condition at the time, real good.

Sweet, I did do one ages back in OW but it took off to limited success and then nose-dived, but christ that section is utter dross these days so I'd rather rest my laurels with this new section and pray some of the wiser heads in here contribute. I'll try and get a few reviews up sometime tomorrow and then make the thread so people have a bit to go on, pretty sure a few will be interested to see Finlay and Davey Boy in their younger days as well as get introductions to people who are precursors to Finlay and William Regal.

I love World of Sports, if you start a discussion thread for it, it might end up being the only section i ever post in, The grapple wrestling used by Davey Boy, FInlay, Regal is the best i had ever seen, then you have the big guys like Big Daddy and Haystack not great wrestling but very fun to watch, also you have likes of Kendo Nagasaki and Smammy lee putting on great matches to. great fun to watch.
