Watched the first disc of the HIAC DVD last night. Those two HIACs on Raw that weren't really matches are so damn entertaining.

Raw '12 MITB isn't that bad I remember. It's much much better than Sheamus/ADR from that PPV.

And infinitely better than Bryan/Punk.

I think the hate comes from the fact that Cena won it. I think it was rather entertaining with five capable workers and some cool spots like the ending when everyone was on top of the ladder, Big Show getting crushed under a bunch of ladders and then bringing out his own giant gold ladder. Despite winning it, Cena did fuck all, though. He never took any real bumps and was always on ground level or went down from a ladder the easy way.

Sheamus/ADR was the Cena/Orton of 2012. Without any progression of a feud and gimmick matches.

Meh, already seen Big Show with the big ladder and being covered in ladders in the SD '10 one which was 10x better. I didn't care that Cena won it, I just thought it was ridiculously boring.

Would certainly put Punk/Bryan above it and would probably put Del Rio/Sheamus ahead of it too.

A yes I remember going into the MITB '12 PPV expecting the RAW MITB match to be shitty. But it exceeded my expectations and managed to be very entertaining match.

Best part of MITB '12 was Ziggler getting thrown onto that computer chair, dying, coming back to life and then winning.

Finally got around to watching Del Rio vs Big Show LMS now and although it kind of misses the atmosphere (just something about Smackdown matches nowadays that have that dead feeling to me) it was a very good match. Del Rio is so much better as a face, all the talk of a face turn actually made sense around here. Glad he's changed his attire from that black and gold to the Mexican flag, though. Still had that heelish feel to him with the attire he wears here.

★★★.

Since it's the Royal Rumble tomorrow, don't know which one to pick for watching. Already went through the 2006 one in my journey so I have to pick something else. My choices are between 1992, 2004, 2008 and 2009.

[Punter]

Go through the 2008 one. I remember that show being great top to bottom.

Fitting too, because Cena is going to win this year as well

Have you watched the '07 one, C2D? It owns.
