Too bad that match exists, just as much as Taker and HHH's classic at King of the Ring 02 exists, CAL. And just as much as Chris Benoit exists, VINCE!

Is that the double count out match? Not a rematch as much as it is a WM main event qualifier. Oh yeah, another good match between them. Too bad we never got anything of the sort between Show and HBK. (they went against each other in 05 but it lasted about 4 minutes before HHH hit Shawn with a chair)

Luckily I never saw HHH/Taker.

That's the one that ends in a double countout right? Yeah I watched that recently. Really good indeed.

Haven't seen any of it in almost 2 years, though. Remember being pissed that Orton got eliminated first in the Raw main event.

Go watch it ASAP! Don't let CAL's anti-HHH bias prevent you from enjoying this classic match-up.

World Heavyweight Championship
Edge(c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

Vickie bans the spear before things can begin. If Edge uses the spear, he loses the title. I wasn’t very keen on face Edge and don’t have much recollection of this match. Things begin with the veteran Edge controlling the pace and getting a bunch of nearfalls. Ziggler takes his chance with a neck breaker off the ropes and finally get a foothold in the match. It’s all Ziggler now, working on the neck of Edge and locking in a couple of sleeper holds. Edge manages to get some offence in with a small comeback to no avail. Dolph lands another aggressive neck breaker. He goes back to the sleeper hold. Fans trying to keep Edge alive but Ziggler is still in control and sends Edge flying into the barricade on the outside. Back in the ring again and Ziggler locks in another sleeper hold. You can’t half tell he’s fond of these. Edge tries to make a comeback and both of them have a nasty crossbody collision in the middle of the ring. Ref starts the count, they’re up at around 4 and this time Edge starts to build momentum until he walks into a jaw breaker counter. Things are starting to sway back and forth now. Ziggler tries for the fame asser which is countered into a sweet powerbomb. Edge goes to the top and aims for a crossbody only to be countered and rolled up for the pin. Very close near fall. Beautiful dropkick from Ziggly. Edge kicks out again and locks in some variation of a sharpshooter it looks like, not quite sure what it is tbh but DZ makes it to the ropes. He gets up and lands a HUGE fame asser but only manages a 2 count. The big spot comes now where Edge is considering the spear but remembers he can’t. Out of nowhere Ziggler goes for another sleeper but its countered only for Vickie to break up the count. She slaps Edge and keeps slapping him. Kelly Kelly to the rescue!! Yes, Kelly Kelly comes out and takes Vickei down. Ziggler hits the Zig Zag and goes for another sleeper. That has to be over 5 now. Edge swings him off and we get a ref bump. With the ref down and Vickie down on the outside, SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR! Edge hits the spear and retains his title while Vickie has a conniption on the floor. Too many sleeper holds. And I thought Orton was bad.

***1/2

Monday Night Raw
Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz

First of all at jobber Bryan. It’s hard to think of him as the measly US Champion compared to what he is now. What great character development over the course of a year+. There is history here between these 2 going back to NXT and Bryan beat Miz for the US title. Match begins with Miz trying to let everybody know he’s the pro and Bryan is the rookie. Riley is on commentary for this btw and it’s pretty lol. However, speaking of commentary, I’m trying not to get distracted but holy fuck is it difficult with Cole talking over everything. I know commentary today isn’t the best but it’s A LOT better than what it was with stupid heel Cole ruining everything. Back to the match, Bryan hits a huge knee off the apron sending Miz into the barricade. He hits another high risk move, big missile dropkick off the top rope. Miz kicks out and lands a nasty fucking neck breaker/neck drop off the apron to the outside. Bad bump for Bryan. Neither of them are able to get a handle and dominate this thing. It’s back and forth with momentum swinging between the two. Great spot where Bryan goes mad with kicks to the chest but Miz ducks the last one and rolls him up for the pin. Nearfall. Match is starting to kick into another gear now. Miz lands a pancake and follows up with the SCF for the win. It didn’t get the chance to fully kick into that next gear but it’s still an OK match for what it was with some cool moments.

***1/4
