Oh yeah the night after with Bischoff stomping on the "last" beer Austin left in the middle of the ring.

Same rating came to my mind instantly though I haven't seen it since then.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Always nice to see the Mysterio/Jericho feud get some love. I equate that feud to the "Bourne" movies, in that they start off great, and somehow get better and better. Their match at Judgment Day was really good, Extreme Rules took it up a notch, the match on RAW advanced the storyline, and then we got an amazing blowoff at The Bash. The match on SD a couple of weeks later is just as good.
I really wish they'd release the RAW and SD match on DVD/Blu to complete the series. I've actually given very serious thought to picking up The Best PPV Matches of 2009-2010 at BB now that it's on sale for $7.99. I already own most of the matches on DVD, but I don't own Jericho/Mysterio from The Bash, own the previous two, and would really love to complete the series.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Its a fantastic trilogy, but I think their first bout at Judgment Day 2009 was the best during their refeud in the WWE.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Finished watching SummerSlam '03
Dudley Boyz vs. La Résistance for the Tag Team Championship - **
Undertaker vs. A-Train - ** 2/3
Shane McMahon vs. Eric Bischoff - ** 2/3 (Epic Coach heel turn is epic.)
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit vs. Tajiri vs. Rhyno for the U.S. Championship - ****
Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship - **** 3/3
Kane vs. Rob Van Dam - ** 1/3
Triple H vs. Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Nash vs. Shawn Michaels (Elimination Chamber) for the World Heavyweight Championship - *** (Really fast paced action the whole match with the awesome Goldberg/Jericho spear through the plexiglass spot but Triple H ruined the match by not even competing the whole match and winning with the sledgehammer. I understand he was a mega heel and that's what a evil heel would do by watching the others cripple themselves then taking the advantage at the end, but the finish really looked dumb.)
Overall: ***

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I think the Royal Rumble 2012 PPV as a whole is the worst RR event I've ever seen.
The actual RR match itself is definitely the worst I've ever seen. Rushed piece of shit match.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Any thought on Vengeance 2005? I don't think I've watched it since I saw it live about seven years ago, and my memory is a bit hazy on most of the PPV. I remember it being pretty good but that may have just been because I was a mark back than, and enjoyed anything the WWE threw at me. I feel like watching through it again sometime this weekend, and wanting to know how high to get my hopes up? Christian/Jericho/Cena looks to be on paper a great match, I've heard people say that Michaels Angle say they had a match better than their Mania one, and from what I remember Benjamin and Carlito put out a nice ten minute IC title match.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Vengeance 2005 is the greatest single-branded PPV of all-time in my opinion. It was one of the first in-depth reviews I did for any show, here's a little rundown:
Vengeance 2005
Carlito vs Benjamin: *** 1/4
Victoria vs Hemme: DUD
Kane vs Edge: *** 1/4
Michaels vs Angle: **** 1/4
Cena vs Christian vs Jericho: *** 3/4
Batista vs Triple H: **** 3/4
Thoughts: Greatest single brand PPV of all time, bar none. Save for the shitty women's match (I'm seriously starting to think we should factor the divas matches out of our overall ratings) everything on this card was not only good, but ROCK SOLID. The opener set the pace, although Shelton's momentum started to fizzle around this time, and Kane vs Edge surprisingly told a good story, unlike Kane's last Vengeance match. Michaels vs Angle II, alot of people will disagree with me on this, but I absolutely LOVED it, right down to the finish that everybody else hates. At the time I thought it was better than the WM match, but now I have it just a bit lower. The WWE Championship match was one of the more underrated matches of 2005, of course overshadowed by the main event, which is one of my top 10 favourite all time matches. The HIAC is my 2005 match of the year... An absolute star making performance here, and one of the biggest wars i've ever seen. Probably my favourite ending to a match ever, just 100 percent pure suspense.
9/10
