Taker/Austin IYH15 ***1/2. I thought i was a decent match. Taker & Austin had much better matches like SSlam 98.

Yeah 2000th post.

Thanks!!!

Rikishi vs. Rico (Kiss My Ass Match) --- 1/2*
Jamie Noble vs. Hurricane (WWE Cruiserweight Title) --- **3/4
UnAmericans vs. Kidman/Mysterio (WWE Tag Team TItles) --- ***
Edge vs. Chris Jericho --- ***
Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler (Bra and Panties Match) --- No Rating
The Rock vs. HHH vs. Brock Lesnar (WWE Title) --- ***

This was like a good house show. Matches were too short though.

Also had some bonus matches from the Australian tour in the 80s but I haven't watched the matches.

Hope this helps.

They also had a Raw match in late '06. I'm pretty sure it was really short and had an un-clean ending, though.

Great review, love that match. I've always thought that if Benoit and Rey got to wrestle in '96 (Mysterio's prime and arguably Benoit's), if would have been a classic, and probally like ****1/2-****3/4. I also agree that if they main evented a PPV in a 20 minute match it would be incredible.

A few matches i just watched.

Austin/Hbk Kotr '97 - **** 1/2
Austin/Angle Unforgiven '01 - **** 1/4
Angle/Hbk Mania 21 - **** 3/4


Three great matches. I believe Austin/Hbk could have been ***** without the dq ending. The match was going at a phenomenal pace.

KOTR '99 looks so horrible

[Austin101]

Completely agree with Viva's ratings for Global Warning 02 for the most part, will review that show in future in full.

Nice reviews of KOTR 99, Crippler's Rey vs Benoit (remember watching it live from memory would give same rating), Hardyz DVD, etc.




Some ratings.....



Austin-Angle-RVD **** (Austin's most impressive performance of his career all things considered)

Austin/Angle Unforgiven 01 **** 1/4 (Underrated match)

Austin-Taker CDIH IYH 97 **** (liked the pacing and yes I enjoy his character more in 96-97)

Austin-Shawn KOTR 97 **** 1/2

Angle-HBK WM 21 **** 1/4

Angle-HBK Vengeance 05 **** 1/2

Angle-HBK Raw ****

Austin-Shawn WM 14 ****

Austin-Foley OTE 98 **** 1/2

Bret-Taker **** 1/4 RR96 (Loved methodical pace but not for everybody)

Bret-Taker **** 1/2 SS 97 (Probably FAV match between the two)

Bret-Taker ONO 97 **** 3/4 (Best match but bad ending)


Some might think I've overrated these matches but I have all of these at, at least 4 stars or more for a reason.

[Taroostyles]

KOTR 99 was horrible for the most part, and it's funny cause that was during the WWE's absolute peak of popularity.

[bigcal]

Welcome back Austin, though weren't you supposed to be back sunday? Bugger off!!!

I think I am going to finish off my Smackdown review now. Only taken me a week...

[craigdanbeaton]

Hang on.. is that you back now Austin?

Oh and I've managed to get one match out of the Undertaker 97 pack so far


Undertaker Vs Steve Austin

Raw 20th January 97

The match only lasts about 4 minutes before Bret Hart interferes and brawls with Austin

Not Rateable

Although I'm enjoying the promos I'm seeing right now... HIs one the night after winning the WWF Championship at WM 13 is great

King of The Ring 99 is horrible... but being the young amrk I was at the time.. It was great ... Shit now though... Really.. Really shit

Oh and McQueen.. seeing as how you're in the thread.. I'm downloading a Brody match right now

Him and Stan Hansen vs The Funk Brothers In All Japan in 1984, Have you seen it?

[Yon]

I'm actually watching a lot of Japanese death matches atm, found that Deathmatch megapost that Tom posted in the multimedia section. Some of the stuff is crazy, the one with the Sheik and Sabu vs. Onita and Goto was madness, the whole ring was on fire.
