Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome
ECW Heatwave; 1998/08/02

I'm not seeing all the hype here. Decent match with some awesome (no-pun intended) table spots.

Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome
WWE ECW One Night Stand; 2005/06/12

Awesome was pretty shit in this. No selling, weak non-weapon based offense and kicked out of the big near-falls with little effort or passion. Sick little match that was good, but reminded me of a CZW deathmatch because of all the spots and Awesome's performance.

Rating: ***¼

Merge those 2 reviews and you have pretty much my exact feelings on ALL their matches together .

Just out of fun, what does everyone think about (WWE related):

- the best regular tag team matches
- the best 6 and 8 man tags
- the best time limit draw
- the best cruserweight match
- the best 2/3 falls match

regular tag team match...the 3 that inmediatly come to mind are Brisco Brothers vs Murdoch/Adonis, Austin/HHH vs Benoit/Jericho and Austin/Michaels vs Owen/Bulldog.

I don't remember a time limit draw in the WWE (the closest thing is the Half Bald Kid vs Bret - Iron Man Match). Can't remember Backlund having a great 1 hr match in the WWWF either.

There's a lot of great multi-man matches...the Canadian Stampede mainevent (Hart Fundation vs Austin/Goldust/Shamrock/LOD) is probably my favorite though.

I'm drawing a blank on a classic WWE cruiserweight match but I'm sure there are a couple of them.

My favorite 2/3 falls match is the SD! Edge/Rey vs Angle/Benoit match.

Holy shit thanks for reminding me of this match. I believe it was from 2002. Damn, a lot of people say SD in '03 was the best and while that may be true SD in '02 was BEAST. Every week you were guaranteed 1 or 2 ****+ matches.

Edge/Mysterio were a really good team and everytime they faced the team of Benoit/Angle the two teams just seemed to create magic each time. These two teams just had great chemistry together.

CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio Extreme Rules 2010
This match just has extremely (no pun intended) bad pacing. Punk and Mysterio just never had good chemistry together in the ring at all.

Shawn Michaels vs Mankind In Your House: Mind Games
This match was just really fun to watch and an all out war. It's such a shame it suffered from terrible booking.

****1/2

I thought Punk/Mysterio at Capitol Punishment was awesome and basically the only good thing about that terrible, terrible PPV.

EDIT- Btw I am aware you were on about their ER match, my comment was about you claiming that they have no chemistry.

[Big Z]

I'd say Punk and Mysterio overall had GREAT chemistry. Sure they never had a "classic" match, but I'm not sure I'd call any of their matches anything less than good. Its amazing what they did at WM with such a short time limit too.

[Dark Church]

Punk and Mysterio do work very well together. Even a throw away match like Capitol Punishment actually worked quite well. I am also amazed at the improvement in Punk since his debut between 2006 and 2010 he had only a hand full of good matches and now he has them all of the time. I know I will get some disagreement but Punk was average at best for the first few years of his WWE run. I actually think his feud with Mysterio is what turned it around. He went from rare *** matches to regular *** matches.
