[The Beast Incarnate]

ESSENTIAL GAME FROM WRESTLEMANIA XXI - SECOND QUAD TEAR

BL 05 vs Batista
02/05/05 RAW vs Chris Benoit
VEN 05 vs Batista (HIAC)
TT 05 vs Ric Flair (Cage)
SS 05 vs Ric Flair (LMS)
NYR 06 vs Big Show
13/02/06 RAW vs Big Show
WM XXII vs John Cena
BL 06 vs Edge vs John Cena
NYR 07 W/Shawn Michaels vs Rated RKO

Only 10 matches here that epitomize GREATNEZZZ!*!*! when it comes to STARZ but in terms of fun matches Trips had a number of them throughout this period including Raw matches with Flair, RVD/SHOW, and a couple of pretty damn good tag matches. AVOID ALL DX BESIDES THE MATCH I LISTED. IT IS FUCKING BAD.

This list should be pretty short but nonetheless ....

ESSENTIAL GAME FROM INJURY RETURN - PRESENT

NM 07 vs Randy Orton (LMS)
CS 07 vs Umaga (Street Fight)
NOC 08 vs John Cena
NM 08 vs Jeff Hardy
30/12/08 SD vs Big Show (LMS)
22/06/09 vs Randy Orton (LMS)
SS 09 W/HBK vs Legacy
19/10/09 RAW vs John Cena
SS 09 vs John Cena
WM XXVII vs The Undertaker
NOC 11 vs CM Punk
WM XXVIII vs The Undertaker (HIAC)
SS 12 vs Brock Lesnar

So many more kick-ass GAME matches from this period with Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, BIG SHOW, and many many more. Hunter's Smackdown matches usually got a ton of time and I swear every week he had another three star match under his belt, some of which I'm probably not even paying dues to.

So yeah, there's basically your essential 60ish GAME matches. If you want some FUN ones just let me know and I'll see what I can do, but for one last time...

THE GAME

Man, between this and the Khali chop sell, does anyone in the company take offense better than Henry? Doubt it. Total Henry show, I am so excited for his 2013 and will honest-to-God possibly try to watch every match he has this year. I hope he becomes Wrestler of the Decade.



That's the best match Michaels had in his incredibly shitty 2006. Wait, it might be a different match if he had more than one v Umaga. Either way it was good shit and the only Michaels match from 06 I like other than the HHH match from Raw.

Does that mean you don't echo the love for Shawn vs Vince & Shawn + GOD vs McMahons like I do?

Oh, and Mark fucking Henry.

I wouldn't AVOIDFORFACKSAKESDAMMIT the Handicap HIAC w/HBK vs. Vinny, Shane and TBS @ Unforgiven 06. I was actually pretty good.

And because CONTRAVERSY is always amazing:

[Obfuscation]

Depends on what you want. '98 is pretty classic for WCW. What with Goldberg, Jericho's amazing work, general nature of the Cruiserweights, nWo Wolfpac formation, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE RISES, Benoit vs Booker series, etc. '99 is an interesting bunch. The lost year of WCW outside of the tripe seen with the Flair going crazy angle and the horrendous latter months. But, a lot of the fun aspects in the year never seem to get remembered. 2000 dare I say speaks for itself. You'll know what to expect there. 2001 isn't much, but it's fun until it ends. Like Big Z has often pimped (and I second him on this) the Magnificent Seven faction was awesome.

i might download some old wwf stuff too.

Top 5 Worst WM matches IMO:

1 - Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan WM 9
2 - Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole WM27
3 - Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar WM20
4 - The Undertaker vs. The Big Boss Man WM15
5 - 10-Diva Tag WM26

The Bash ****1/2

I don't remember the other two matches but the match they had at The Bash is my #2 match of the year after Taker/HBK.

I'd add:

v Michaels 3/27/06
William Regal matches in 2008.
He faced Henry in 2008. Don't remember watching it but Henry. Henry.

Not essential but fuggit they should be watched.

Also wow @ LMS v Big Show in 08. Don't remember that at all and sounds intriguing.

Actually I was surprised at how much I liked Michaels/McMahon on re-watch last year. Don't like the handicap (um...."tag"), though.
