Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
You have Cena/Trips from WM 22 over Cena/Trips from NOC '08? I'd be interested in an explanation for that.
I'm a huge, huge fan of the '08 one. Fuck, Raw one from late '09 is epic too.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I'm in absolute LOVE with Hunter's matches with Cena. The late 09 match vs Cena is an easy **** from me, and could fall anywhere from best in the series to worst in the series, I just need to rewatch again to make sure. I can't really give you too many specific reasons as to why I loved the Wrestlemania match more, I just felt that it had all the makings of a big title fight. It might have something to do with the fact that I prefer Hunter much more as a heel than I do a face, so it was cool to see him as a semi-tweener that night in Chicago. Here we have somebody who JR claims "doesn't give a damn about the fans" , but near the end he begins pandering towards them and feeding off of their energy. That story dynamic alone makes me want to bump it to **** 1/4, but I'm cool having it where it is at number 22.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
The atmosphere for WM22 was awesome, but I still can't stand watching that finish. To this day it's the one match oh which I absolutely hate the ending. I know Cena winning was better in the long run, but it still bugs the shit out of me. NOC 08 was awesome, and a much better match. I think WM22 is around ***1/2, and NOC was somewhere around **** or ****1/4. I don't remember the Raw one from 09 at all.

Fair enough.  Glad to see you high on the Raw '09 match as well. One of few reasons I have the Raw '09 set along with the Orton/Trips LMS III.

Crowd was epic for WM 22, totally agree with that. If it refreshes your memory at all, it was right before Bragging Rights with the Cena/Orton iron man match. The idea being that it very well could be Cena's last Raw match because if he lost to Orton he had to leave Raw.

Cena/Hunter @ 'Mania 22 is twice the match Cena/Hunter from NOC 2008 is.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
It'll be up there soon  I'm very...VERRRYYY high on it and I believe that it's Hunter's second greatest tag match ever. Coincidentally, what I believe is his best tag....Is another quad tearing match

Bold are ones I don't necessarily agree with. A lot of them though are at least ***1/2 for me, with off the top of my head only the Punk match dipping to ***.
Still looking forward to your next batch of matches. And what an odd coincidence two of HHH's best tag matches are quad tears. I have the NYR07 tag at **** and the Raw tag in 01 against Benoit and Jericho at ****1/4.
Edit: Underlined matches are matches I have at higher than ****.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I'm a huge fan of Trips/Edge/Batista/Snitsky vs Orton/Benoit/Jericho/Maven from SS '04. Don't really know why but I always love watching it. The Pedigree reversal into the RKO looks so nice too.
