Rey vs Jericho was the first one to jump out at me as the possible candidate for #7. It's brilliant. Might be another great match lingering about...Orton vs Christian from Over The Limit. Damn. That's brilliant too. Christian OWNS.

If I were to include something out of the Orton/Christian feud, it'd be the SSlam 2011 match. DAMN at that one.

Watched the 01 Rumble yesterday.

E&C/Dudleyz - ***
Jerico/Benoit - *****
Chyna/Ivory - Dud
Angle/HHH - ***1/2
Rumble - ****1/2

Strong Rumble and GOAT ladder match. Everything barring Chyna/Ivory is really fun.

Jericho/Benoit holds up really, really well. The only thing that bothered me slightly was Jericho's selling of the crossface.

Top 7 of PG Era:

1) Taker/HBK WM25
2) Punk/Bryan OTL 12
3) Taker/HBK WM26
4) Taker/Edge SS 08
5) Punk/Cena MITB 2011
6) Orton/Christian OTL
7) Shield vs Ryback, Kane, and Bryan

I'll adjust the list when I get home and can check. I'm fairly certain the first 4 are right though.

Ive gotta watch the 'Taker/Orton fued soon, i did today watch one of their Smackdown matches before the Armageddon 2005 PPV, really good match, funny when Orton Sr bought a big truck out with a casket in it containing a model of 'Taker (excellent one at that mind).

Top 7 of PG era (why top 7?):

1. Taker/HBK WM 26 *****
2. Taker/HBK WM 25 *****
3. Punk/Bryan OTL '12 ****3/4
4. Punk/Cena MITB '11 ****3/4
5. Taker/HHH WM 28 ****3/4
6. Taker/HHH WM 27 ****3/4
7. Hmmmm I'm not too sure. Plenty of ****+ matches that I could throw here but off the top of my head non stick out as the better one.

Doesn't even compare, imo. Not to mention the poor ending from their Summerslam match. The RKO is the worst move to hit on top of objects. It's always Orton who eats the brunt of the spot. Never the opponents.

WHY did Christian try to leap frog over a set of steps to hit a sunset flip on Orton? And WHY would he do the same spot again that he knew was his downfall in the first place? ahhhh. Over The Limit is where it is at.

I totally agree with you here. That ending makes no sense! Christian literally jumps into thin air, nowhere near Orton and with steel steps between the two.

I love the 'counter into RKO' finish as much as the next guy, but only when you don't see it coming. This one was obvious.

[Obfuscation]

It's ironic how I said a page back how I don't let certain spots sour me on a match and then boom. A match where it leaves me sour gets brought up. It's the finish though. And it's really bad. So, that speaks a bit more volumes to me than say a poor spot in a sea of an otherwise great match (a la Jericho/Michaels from No Mercy 2008 considering that was the prior topic)

I'll make the rounds to give Summerslam 2011 another chance. Danielson vs Wade needs to be seen. Been wanting to watch that. Rest will come with it of course. Whenever I feel like not watching WWE circa 2010 or a random WCW PPV like I currently have on now.

TAKER & PUNK

Could possibly be a match at Mania this year.

The finish, in my view, came off with Christian's cockiness making him believe that he had Orton in his place, only to suffer dejá vu. Predictable finish, but I liked it.

Why top 7? It's for a change

Forgot about Taker/Edge SSlam 2008 and Rybell No/Shield. ****+ material easily.
