Good review. I share the same thoughts. Such a blast of a match. The most fun I've had with a WWE match all year since July with Punker vs Danielson.

As much of an ERICK STEVENS mark as I was then, I completely agree. Aries' selling in that match owned hard though.

I need to give the SD MITB and Punk/Bryan a watch from that show. I saw it when it happened but I've yet to give either a second watch since I accidentally deleted it off the DVR.

I seconded it. Which means he's correct.

It had the advantage of not feeling a bit too long. Which is the only flaw I saw from the NRC/Resilience street fight.

Curt Hennig in the late 80s (AWA), Bret in 97, Shawn in 97, Rocky Maivia in 98, etc. WWE decided to run with what they were going for with Cena and withstood the reactions from a segment of their audience. It is a unique dynamic for Cena at this point as Hayley pointed out. His connection or relationship with the WWE Universe a part of his character now in a way.

Hogan in late '95 - early '96 is usually my first example when I bring up that point. But Bret & Rock were brilliant moves. They were hated so they went heel and refreshed/revamped their character completely. I don't think Cena needs it as much as the other did, but a heel turn would be awesome just b/c of how surreal it would be to see main event Cena a heel.

STEVENS~! Yeah, it's an awesome mess of a match. (mess is a compliment..haha) I loved the NRC. Teaming them up with Sydal aka BOURNE was boss. Delirious is the man too. I just have to point out, considering the thread, that everyone needs to watch it just to see Evan Bourne compete in a street fight haha. Certainly isn't something he's done very much. Only that match and Steel Cage Warfare back in 2005, tbhayley.

Go for it. I bought MITB asap when it was released. Such a fun show. I'm a mark of that PPV franchise. It always delivers.

HOW HAS THIS THREAD BEEN DEAD FOR OVER 8 HOURS?

Got the Raw 100 DVD for Christmas.

[sharkboy22]

Apparently we got Christmas lovers here lol.

And you guys are so frigging lucky getting wrestling DVDs as presents. I wish I could get it in the stores where I'm from.

[Brye]

Where are you from?

And I'm laying low this Christmas. Dad is working, my relatives are sort of scattered this year and there's basketball on so I'll probably just be on here all day.

[sharkboy22]

I'm very a tiny, little island in The Caribbean called Trinidad.

The last time people talked about wrestling down here was 1990 when WWC used to run some very god-awful shows. But the motherfuckers would bleed a lot and it got people going. Guys like Abdullah The Butcher would come and just blade the fuck out of each other. But I wasn't even born back then lol.

When I was a kid we used to have an actual WWE merchandise store in the mall but it didn't last long. Bsck then I got action figures, VHS, every goddamn thing. I'll say it closed down in about '99, probably 2000. Didn't last very long at all. Again low demand.

[Brye]

Damn man, that's a shame.

Christmas time is here !

Christmas is my day to enjoy some time with family... By locking myself in my room and playing WWE 13 all day. Seriously, I usually get the new WWE game for Christmas and I've already been playing it for four hours now, might attempt to watch one of my twenty something new DVDs but I don't think that's gonna happen because I'm gonna try to beat this entire Attitude Era mode today...

Or I'ma switch to Madden 13

[YouThinkUKnowMe]

Great little blu ray Christmas haul:

CM Punk: Best in the World
Raw 100
Attitude Era

Which was on top of the Over the Limit 2011 and Elimination Chamber 2011 blu rays I got on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

[Choke2Death]

Speaking of Christmas, coincidentally enough, I got a PS3 Slim today. Really excited because I can now play WWE 13. (and more importantly, GTA V when it's out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

A better gift for me than any wrestling DVDs.
