Great work? Cena-Edge (I barely realized the year had passed when their stuff was over), Cena-Punk, & (as someone mentioned) the battling Chris'es.

Guys, I was wondering if you could hook me up with a few of these matches in good quality. If you can, then let me know:

Triple H vs Chris Jericho FL 00
Triple H vs The Rock JD 00
Triple H vs Mick Foley vs Big Show vs The Rock WM 00
Triple H vs Chris Benoit NM 00
Triple H vs Kurt Angle UNF 00

Trying to do a definitive HHH list.

Also, strongly considering doing a John Cena PPV match project, there's only 10-15 PPV matches of his that I don't own. I need to prove that he is a better in ring worker than Dwayne.

There are a lot of people who are better in ring workers than The Rock. However, there aren't too many people that can infuse their charisma into a match, build excitement and drama, and play a strong babyface that can take a beating and sell it like The Rock and make a molten hot, strong comeback. Rock is an amazing athlete. He’s smart about portraying his character and playing the crowd. That's why I'm a fan of his work. For me Rock probably hasn't had a boring match since his Rocky Maivia days.

I'm slowly getting through Rock's set and I must say, without a hot crowd, Rock's matches are usually boring until the ending.

Rock was a good worker, charisma-wise, but without that, he is pretty bland in the ring. Luckily he had great workers to work with all the time.

90s Rock needed someone that was at least as good as he was to have a good match, but by like, 2001 he was great. I remember thinking he was really clearly the better guy in the No Mercy match with Jericho, which is a great match. He looked as good as most people in America in 2002 as well. Had he really stuck around that year it would have been a great one.

Plus, the Austin match at Mania 19 is mostly him, and is a stupendous match too.

Cena's peak is better, definitely, but Cena's had lows and bad feuds with people that I can't over-look if I'm comparing him to Dwayne.

I knew Edge retiring really sucked, but when you look at all the good matches of the last 5 years, Edge was in almost all of them.

You make a great point. Last summer when Punk won the title one of the first things I thought of was how badass a Punk (face)/ Edge (heel) feud would be. I could see that main eventing Mania this year. Well besides PG boy/Dwayne.

My biggest disappointment was we never got a Edge/Christian feud on Smackdown. That feud would have really been awesome. Edge/Punk too, no doubt.
