He comes off very full of himself thats for sure. Has a pretty sweet dvd collection but yeah talks a lot of shit. Stevie Breech is annoying IMHO.

Totally agree.

Has been and always will be my fav dvd set. I have only purchased two DVD sets soon after they came out and for full price....the Macho set and the newest Rock one....that one I had a little bit left on a best buy gift card as well.

Anyway....As for Macho's WCW run it was not very good (in ring wise) but I was not a very huge WCW guy past like 96. I think a lot of those guys got big paydays and half assed it in the ring.

I think Striker does a pretty good job on that set tbh.

As for Maria yeah she is not very good at the whole host thing but she is my all-time fav diva. Based 100% on looks. I would do dirty, filthy, nasty things to her. Like....ummm....ummm...make her clean my garage. Ya....thats totally what Im thinking about.

Rewatched the first half of WM XXVIII today with a friend that just came home from Germany and managed to keep away from the results. Figured I'd give my ratings again.

Sheamus/Bryan - gtfo (my friend was so pissed)
Orton/Kane - ***1/4
Rhodes/Show - *1/2
Divas match - one skid mark outta five
Taker/Trips - ****3/4

McIntyre was pretty fuckin awesome and the finishing sequence between Edge and Mysterio was great as well. I'd say it's about ****1/2.

McIntyre stole the show. He was easily the highlight of that Chamber match IMO and that would've been a great place to begin the rebuild of Drew McIntyre turning him into a legit threat going forward, but it ultimately led to nothing, which is dumb on WWE's part. McIntyre showed what he was capable of in that match.

Really dug the two main events. You had guys at the top level on this show with Trips and Rocky just about breaking through the main event caliber. There was something about Taker/Austin which I loved. I thought the pace was immense, really dug the booking, nice table spot and with no help from Kane. Would of hit the full 4 if the ending was better but it came off as sudden and was over in a flash. Helped the feud develop though..

Were the dead crowds enjoyable to watch in that match? Did all the botches escape you? Was the slow pace of that match so good to watch?

HHH/Rock bored me mostly, and I thought Undertaker/Austin was total trash. Sloppy brawling, botches... and that was the match .

I agree with this, I'm so sick of many people saying Taker/Austin at SS 98 was legendary. It's more overrated than Taker/Lesnar at No Mercy 2002 right now. It's the one epic fail match many people seem to avoid admitting.

Ehm, I wouldn't say it's underrated. With the praise it's getting all over, it's more like overrated, IMO. The last half of the match was practically Brock making Taker his bitch in every sense (not that I think it was bad for pushing Brock). The first half is decent, but the last half is just a glorified squash match.

I think both Taker & Brock have had better matches with other performers since, but some of them got completely left out of mention. From Taker's HIAC alone, his HIAC match with Batista, Edge, and Triple H are better than the one with Brock. Especially with Triple H, real drama and storytelling the match with Brock definitely lacks.

I have no idea how they can follow Taker/HHH should Taker/Brock is booked next year. Brock's in-ring psychology is mediocre.

P.S: Sorry for double post.

I don't care about crowds, that doesn't affect my rating. Like I said I enjoyed the slow pace and overall enjoyed the match. I never said Taker/Austin was legendary, I don't think anyone has rated it **** or above here. It's a match I enjoyed watching, Im not failing the admit anything. If you like it, give it the rating you think it deserves.

Seeing as your so sick, I hope you get better soon.

One of my favorite EC Match of all time. I guess it's just behind survivor series 2002 (because of the story and emotion of this match) but it's clearly number 2. The last minutes between edge and mysterio are priceless. Number 3 would be New year's revolution 2005 (just watch HHH'pedigree on bloody jericho, best sold pedigree eveeeer !! )

A great chamber match. The best thing about it is that everyone and everything worked well. From Drew McIntyre being the young hungry guy raring to go, to Barrett and Big Show's little rivalry that they carried into the chamber, to Kane being that guy dominating anyone and anyone with those sick uppercuts, and to Edge and Mysterio being the first two and the last two. Everyone picks up the slack in it. And yeah, I agree, the last little exchange between Edge and Mysterio was excellent.
