Pretty much my list with 2/19/79 vs Valentine being his best imo. I'd add the NJPW '80 match vs Hansen. I know he's had a few more matches in Japan and even later in BattlARTS, but the only other match that immediately sprang to mind was that Bret Hart match which goes 20-25 minutes from memory and sees Backlund turning at the end of the match.

Still a bunch of "big" Backlund matches that I haven't even seen yet, like Hansen match, Patterson cage and a Larry Z match that got a vote or two in the WWF/E Top 100 poll.

I don't remember what PPV it was or anything because I was so young but one of my earliest wrestling memories of Backlund is him vs Bret in a throw in the towel match and Owen convinced his parents to throw in the towel for Bret then ran off celebrating. Brilliant.

No Way Out 2002
16:36 Tag Team Turmoil - **1/2
11:03 Goldust vs Rob Van Dam - **3/4
7:16 Booker T & Test vs Tazz & Spike Dudley - *3/4
10:27 Edge vs William Regal - **
17:25 Undertaker vs The Rock - ***1/4
14:40 Kurt Angle vs Triple H - ***
21:34 Stone Cold vs Chris Jericho - **1/2

Overall: 7/10 - a very solid event which never got slow which is always nice. Goldust/RVD was the pleasant surprise of the night. I didn't expect it to be as good as it ended up being.

Survivor Series 94.

Not a fan of that match myself though.

Thoughts on Cena vs HHH vs HBK SS 09? Pretty awesome imo.

[Gamblor]

Top 5 2005:
(****1/2)
1) HBK vs. Angle WM21
2) Batista vs. HHH Vengeance 2005
3) HBK vs. Benjamin Raw Gold Rush 2005
(****1/4)
4) Edge vs. Matt Hardy Unforgiven 2005
5) Undertaker vs. Orton WM21

On Eddie/JBL, can't say much about the match that hasn't already been said. #22 on my all-time list. The bullrope match... honestly I can't remember much at all and don't even remember what rating I had it at, and the cage match I had at ***1/2, but I do need to re-watch that as well.

Cena/HBK/HHH SVS 2009: ****

Awesome match. Despite them being hit or miss in matches, it was cool to see HBK and HHH exchanging blows again and they did a great job. The super kick at the start, which set the tone for the match is probably one of my favorite openings to a match. Some hard-hitting fun action from start to finish.

Top 5 from 2005:

1. Batista/Triple H - Vengeance - ★★★★¾

For a top 50, here's my full list.

I have it at **** as well, I kinda marked out by the DX implosion, too bad we didn't have HHH/HBK Retirement Matcb at WM 26 but what we got was amazing as well.

Just finished watching Lesnar vs Rock vs HHH from Global Warning '02. Really good match, had never seen it before or even knew that it existed. Was a blu-ray extra on the Lesnar set. A solid ***3/4 from me.
