Swanton into a pin was No Mercy. Cyber Sunday was an awesome Pedigree where HHH pretty much dragged Jeff off the top rope and hit it in one motion.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Was the Orton/Cesaro match from Main Event any good? Worth a watch?

I understand what you mean Cody..... Trips as a driving force in a match can be somewhat tedious unless it's a gimmick match, he's usually awesome in 9 out of 10 of those (there are exceptions ; see BASH 09).
Or maybe it's just the fact that it's TRIPS-ORTON and that they have some very, very bad chemistry most of the time

Yeah, he tends to bring out much more with a gimmick attached. Like for example you make Triple H vs Orton a last man standing and BOOM. It's magically good. Great actually in regards to the No Mercy 2007 bout. I'm not completely sold of his work as a driving force all the time. It's part of which why I can't claim myself to be much of a fan like you and other. (aka everyone else currently occupying the thread, haha)
He has his moments and matches though. Regardless if he's the aspect for me that make them good, I know what he's capable of at the end of the day. More often than not it takes two to tango. Wouldn't say he's a bad worker or anything. Just not particularly great imho.

I'm a huge fan of the guy but I'll never try to claim he's some sort of amazing worker. I think he's good and has been great at times in his career but he's had his fair share of shit too.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I think I have No Mercy somewhere too, but I'm down for a VIEWING PARTY WITH CODY.
I'm as big a Hunter mark as the next guy, but he has definitely had his disappointments. HHH/Kozlov?!? :/

I hear ya. Certainly matches like vs Steiner come into play for his shit area. Then work like vs Jericho, Foley, & Big Show deserves it's praise.
I wanted to add in Big Show since I really really like their match from NYR 2006.
 IMO GREG
+  @ Trips/Koslov. Holy CRAP

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I'd make a claim of Trips's career as a whole being awesome. His body of work over the past well..... 18 years or so I'd put up there with Taker in terms of highs and lows. Whereas Taker was kind of well.... Shit for alot of 2000-2001 , Trips was shit for a nice part of 2002-2003. I think they're comparable in the sense that when they're on, they're both beasts in the ring. When it comes to the better body of work I'd put Taker ahead of Hunter by a nice margin, but in terms of an individual peak, there aren't too many North American wrestlers that can say they've had a better peak than TRIPS.
