Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Yep. Not even gonna attempt to go find some hard gems via fan cams or whatnot.
Traditional lazy guy route. It only happened if it was on TV or PPV.
I need something to motivate me to watch WWE PPVs atm. I popped in Royal Rumble '06 to finish it (which is where I got the idea for Cena/Edge, see, it all comes together at the end) and I skipped the Rumble to watch the two championship bouts. Once they ended I had zero desire to sit through the longest Rumble match in history. Popped in a TNA DVD instead. I've been out of touch with watching WWE PPVs lately. It's either been matches from TV, old school WWF PPVs, or other promotions. Perhaps this project can help me get the urge to slam through WWE PPVs right now.
Have on tap: Rumble 06's rumble match, NWO '06, Cyber Sunday '06, Judgment Day '07, Extreme Rules 2011, & Vengeance 2011.
So with a less than enthusiastic approach to watching atm those could be sitting in my corner for a bit. I'm not gonna force it either. That ruins the enjoyment of watching in the first place.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Would gladly do any of these ;
Punk/Bryan
Punk/Cena
Punk/Mysterio
If somebody could get me a full match listing with either of these it'd be great. If not, I'll just do HHH-Orton or HHH-HBK since I know where to find even the televised ones there.
PS: Don't blame you. Not a fan of CS 06 or Judgment Day 07 in the absolute slightest. I own both, and neither will be receiving a replay in the future unless necessary for a project or something IMO.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Damn. Punker vs Cena. That would be a good one for me to make the excuse to go watch Punk vs Cena from NOC. I think I'd take that one if it isn't a problem.
(we need the other guys who frequent this thread to show up and throw their hats in)

I have to see that match. Might try to put it on DVD sometime this weekend.

Small screen doesn't bother me. I watch stuff on a tiny portable DVD a lot. Same with quality. I'll watch anything regardless of quality as long as it's watchable. My toddlerhood (NOW A WORD) was fuzzy tapings of Sesame Street and Power Rangers. I do sort of agree with the bold part. I've watched matches on computer and actually wanted to turn it off because it was on a computer. I haven't re-watched them and might be underrating some of them.

I like this idea. I'll probably do Rey/Punk because they had plenty of matches, but I can't remember many of them and I want to watch more 2010 WWE. I remember Armageddon 2008, WM26 and SD 2/12/10. IDK how many else I've watched. I'd kinda like to do Rey/Jericho, Taker/Orton HHH/Big Show and Taker/Big Show, too. Fuck I'm at a point in my wrestling life where I'm up for anything. I've been watching random 2012 indies with guys I've never heard of lately and really digging it. Does someone have a random, out of the blue 2000s WWE feud/series that no one talks about? I'd like to do that. I've never seen the Paul London v Akio stuff, maybe I'll jump on that. Or something UMAGA did.
I dare sometime to do HHH/Michaels.
I've watched like every Punk/Cena at this point. Including house show ones (which were fun but didn't really GRAB me). Did people watch the 8/22/11 Raw one? That was really good shit.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Do an X-Pac vs Chris Jericho one from 2000. They had some singles matches back then.
I own nearly every Punker vs Cena match so that one will be a lock. And a good excuse to cram all at once for the fun of it. I loved their 8/22/11 match. I'm at **** with it. Haven't seen NOC 2012 yet, but I'm at the point where the 8/22 match is their second best bout behind MITB.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
NOC 12 is really good. Probably the WWE MOTY since Over the Limit. That and Show/Sheamus feel close.
Jericho v X-Pac sounds really cool.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I bet it's up on dailymotion. Sheamus/Show from Hell in a Cell was. Which I'll second in the chime that it was the best match since the Punk/Danielson series. I'll say series since I'm one of the guys who really loved the MITB match.
I tried looking with something involving Christian in 2000. Wishful thinking as all of his matches were tags with Edge. I did notice he's duked it out a fair amount of times vs Kane over the years. Those could be fun.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Long time since I've been on here.
I'm liking this idea #paulheymanguy.
No one has thought of doing HHH/foley match series? I'll gladly take that series off your hands
Been watching a lot of 90's matches and will be posting up my top 50 matches for the decade soon with write ups
Still just working out my top 5 and there order right now.

Also, plenty of Flair/Steamboat talk recently. Stop it. FLAIR VS WINDHAM is what ya'll should be watching and loving! Battle of the Belts II 1986 and World Wide Wrestling 1987 matches are both ahead of anything Flair and Steamboat did together  .
Jericho/X-Pac matches were nothing special. Best they pulled out was probably ***1/4.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I'm down for a series of matches as well. Is it just strictly WWF/E affiliated? How many matches as well are we talking series wise? 3 and above?
Truth be told I've seen a lot of WWF/E feuds in their entirety so I'll leave it someone else to maybe recommend something that may slip my mind. Hardy/Edge sounds like something I could do, since I adore the Summerslam war and haven't seen the Cage match for a good year and a bit. Can't remember much about their street fight on Raw and the Ladder match which ended the feud. Any other suggestions for feuds?
Can't remember much at all about Punk/Cena 8/22. NOC and Sheamus/Show are definitely the two best matches since Punk/Bryan in May. NOC is a really great take on the MITB match, with Punk now playing the well scouted and methodical champion who has a counter for everything Cena throws at him but grows increasingly frustrated with as Cena refuses to lie down. Some people had an issue with the amount of nearfalls, but truth be told its not that much different to how they paced the nearfalls in the MITB match (save for one spot where Cena does perhaps get up to early to hit a desperation move). Show/Sheamus is just evidence of how a remarkably simple formula when executed to perfection can lead to a great match.
Flair/Steamboat is a truly magical series. COTC is probably the best match as a whole, but something about the atmosphere and character dynamic in the Chi Town match makes me adore it. I also think it deserves praise for being their shortest match from the famed '89 series and yet still being in contention for their best. Can't forget about the House Show matches in Landover and Philly either.
Flair/Windham really can be considered a superior series, though I wouldn't begrudge anyone for preferring Flair/Steamboat. You still get a beautiful character contrast which dominates the sequences and transitions and makes for a constant story which adds meaning and depth to the match as a whole. Plus 1987 Barry Windham might be the most naturally talented wrestler I've ever seen.
