Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
tbhayley, I'm not really crazy about any Austin vs Triple H brawls now that I think about it. No Mercy '99, Survivor Series '00, No Way Out '01. All are entertaining, but go far too long for me to really give a damn. They're not HHH vs Shawn Michaels type of long and bad. Granted, I wouldn't call any of three I listed "great".
Entertaining is the best word I can use. Austin vs Dude Love from Over The Edge '98 rapes all of them. Yet it doesn't get mentioned much. Oh well.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Other than NWO 01, which I'm not sure even holds up, I really don't like any Austin/HHH match. Buried Alive 96 is probably their second best match together and it's just barely 'good'.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Lots of punches happen. And I think a neckbreaker too. Rest tends to mesh together.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I thought Austin and Hunter's WWF Title match at Manchester Mayhem '98 was pretty good.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I watched that Austin/HHH 2/3 falls match a month ago. If you want to see 2 guys beat the living piss out of each other for 40 minutes, this is it. Best match they ever had, holds up very well.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Might give their Survivor Series '00 match a watch tonight. I remember liking it.

Austin/HHH NWO 01- ****1/4
Watched it earlier this year, and I did have it at the full five, but lower it down to what it is now. It's still an awesome match and a borderline classic, but just not the 5 star match I used to see it as. Not as fun to watch as it used to be for some reason.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Hard to believe it, but I'll stick with Triple H vs Rock matches. Austin, well vs anyone else is better. Kurt Angle for a random pick off the top of my head. Don't know if Austin & Undertaker really had any great matches vs each other either. I only like their Buried Alive match b/c it was Ministry Taker. Botched finish didn't help things out. Oh wait, A Cold Day In Hell & First Blood from Fully Loaded '99. Yep, Taker works here.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Just watched HHH/Austin No Mercy '99. I'd happily call it good, bordering on really good at times. Not great though.
