Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I actually disagreed with half of that.  Taker/Punk '09 was predictable and average, Punk/Mysterio wasn't much of anything, & Hardy/McIntyre was incredibly frustrating and struggled to keep my attnetion. Everything else you mentioned I can stick with. LOVED Kane's promo and Punk's Happy Birthday song. At this point, my current Match of the Disc is Rey/Swagger.
I have this problem with not being able to watch just one match from a set. I in turn force myself to watch the entire thing from start to finish. No clue why.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Dislike Rey/Swagger  . Swagger and Del Rio are probably the only 2 guys to have a series of matches with Rey and never have a good match with him.
Still need a series of matches to review  . I didn't want to do something I'd already seen, but I guess I have no other choice. Plenty of series I've seen but not actually reviewed...

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
When I start something I HAVE to finish it (always watch in a linear fashion). Top 50 Finishers took me like .... two weeks and like 12 different sitting to get through (the matches) because they were just all over the place. That's why Superstar COMPS >>>>> random sets. I don't have OCD I swear
Fuck, suppose I'll go down to the Subway here and grab myself some food (Subway is next door THANK GOD) before my watching of some goooood HBK.

Can't stand DVDs that aren't linear. Take "Falls Count Anywhere" ; matches on there from all different kinds of companies and different stips and such, so unorganized and uninspired that although the matches may be good ; I just can't get invested. Just like the "Top 50" DVDs. Too random and not linear enough for my liking. At least the ... "DVD about that faction from WCW" was linear (HORRIBLE, but linear). I couldn't wait to finish the Top 50 finishers, when I was only one match in

I agree. I can't deal with DVDs that are all over the place.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
How was Batista & Randy Orton superstar sets?
I don't have them yet, and I'm interested in getting them.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Started watching my hunter/Foley match series damn I'm loving there 1997 series.
So how are we posting our reviews, all at once or just one at a time then a revision of them all at the end?
Because I could have my first 3 match reviews up pretty soon.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I actually don't mind sets that are all over the place. For instance, Wrestling's Highest Flyers fucking OWNS. I like that they skipped around from company to company, era to era, wrestler to wrestler. Kept things fresh and you could compare the styles.
What I do hate are sets that just feature a bunch of random fucking multi man matches for the sake of getting everyone you can on one dvd.

I'd pass on the Batista set unless you're a big fan. I'm not.  The best matches on there (HIAC vs. Trips, vs. Eddie, & vs. Taker) can be found elsewhere and there isn't really that much else that stands out.
Orton's set has an awful documentary imo but the match listing more than makes up for it. A lot of repeats, yes, but they're essential and classic repeats. Plus I love his matches with RVD, Sheamus, Taker, & Michaels. Get the blu ray if you can.

Usually I run out and buy superstar sets but I'm not a big fan of Batista (and I have all/most of the matches so I would be buying for the documentary). I'm more of a fan of Randy but I feel like I have a lot of his matches too.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Which series of matches are still remaining? I'm up for watching pretty much anything, prefereably non-WWECW or Superstars and not a main event feud. Maybe Kofi/Orton, Kennedy/Taker, Edge/Matt, Jeff/Umaga, Dolph/Rey, Dolph/Kofi, Edge/Angle, Rey/Cody, or Regal/Punk? Any suggestions or other good ideas? I haven't watched much of any of the ones I listed.
