Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks vs Kofi Kingston & R-Truth on that same show is well worth a look too. Good tag team match. Best while Kofi & R-Truth were teaming up.
Just got finished watching the two 8-man HHH tag matches from the top 100 list, and I've came to the conclusion that the Evolution one is superior. I know the 2000 one gets alot more cred, but I think the 04 one is just....Well....A better match. The first few minutes with Flair getting beaten down on by everyone and looking like a pathetic old has been, only to tag in HHH (looking menacing and intimidating as fuck) ... Who gets dominated as well. Thought it was a brilliant touch to a brilliant match.
Benjamin's stock was soaring sky high at the time of this match, and the commentary was spot on (something I don't really say alot about matches). The talent pool in the match was superior to the 2000 match as well IMO.
Benjamin/Benoit/Foley/HBK vs Evolution : ****
DX/Radicalz vs Rock/Foley/Too Cool : *** 3/4
Got about 19 matches left to watch for this, including HBK/Austin vs Davey Boy/Owen (which is going to be watched ASAP ) .
Still quite a few matches for me, but I just watched it and it's 6 or 7 for sure on my list (of RAW matches, that is). One of the greatest 10 minute contests ever with all four men just CLICKING. Austin pre neck injury was awesome in this, and Shawn's return was played beautifully. Owen and Bulldog were the perfect catalysts for the Austin-HBK duo, with Bret being in the background of it all. Doesn't get the respect it deserves due to 97 having about a bajillion awesome matches from the main event stars, and the awesome angle it was immersed in. **** 1/4 from me.
Again... MIND BLOWN as to why Lesnar-Rock was on the top 100 list, as I thought every match on the list should be atleast ****..... I guess some people value some of these matches slightly more than I do. Time to watch the WM XIX matches on the list since I'm done with most of 97 and all of the :hhh matches.
BTW , how would you rank these BACKLUND matches on the top 100 list ?
I'd probably put all of those Backlund matches somewhere in the top 30 for WWE. Valentine and Slaughter matches might be top 10. I don't think I've seen the Patera TDM in like 3+ years, but I trust that match to hold up. There's probably three or four other Backlund matches that'd make my top 30-50 for WWE too. Motherfucking BACKLUND, motherfucker.
A Backlund-A-Thon is a great idea, but watching four of his matches can possibly take you up to four hours.
Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks vs Kofi Kingston & R-Truth on that same show is well worth a look too. Good tag team match. Best while Kofi & R-Truth were teaming up.
The Raw 20th Anniversary Box Set is probably gonna be nothing more than a compilation of matches from over the years. I don't expect it to contain full RAW episodes.
Watched the Shawn v Bret Greatest Rivalries DVD last night for the first time since i bought it. WWE did really well to put it all together and i must say Jim Ross did a great job of hosting the DVD.
For some reason i never recieved my orginal DVD order from SV (first time ever it's happened), so they kindly resent them out for me at no extra cost to me and they came today, such a great service.
Didn't get around to Cena/Punk NOC or Seamu/Show yet. Maybe tomorrow.
