Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
They'd be good if the matches weren't clipped. For the year in review sets they should have stuck to TV matches instead. Would have appealed to me that way. Though I'm gonna be getting back into trading so I'll eventually pick up all the TV shows anyway  .

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
The last two wild wednesday's have been rubbish. Last weeks was silvervision trying to get rid of the best of ppv matches when they going to release it as part of the 2012 annual soon. And now crappy tagged classics. The rock one was good the other week.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Rock one was a massive disappointment for me since they hyped it up as being the best ever... and it ended up being a set of Rock matches  .
Last week's I wanted because it was the Bluray too, and they don't release a Bluray version of the annual sets.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Anyone remember Rock vs Benoit on Smackdown in 2002? Not too talked about but pretty fun bout.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Just PLOUGHING my way through these PPV WWE Championship matches lately , and found some matches that I like/dislike that might vastly differentiate from what others think.
For instance , I believe that the Barrett-Orton series (Bragging Rights 10 , Survivor Series 10) are two * 3/4 that show how flawed of a main event player Barrett is, unless paired with somebody who plays to his strengths like John Cena. Just so much bland offense with a horrible pace and little story being told. If it wasn't for the whole CENA dynamic being somewhat interesting, this would be like one snowflake from me.
On the other hand, I have Diesel-Mabel from Summerslam 95 at ** 1/2 , WAAAAYYYYY higher than anybody else in the universe. Just a fun, less than 10 minutes long match with lots of power and a surprisingly fast pace. The move differentiation isn't very wide, but what exactly do you expect between Diesel and Mabel ? I'm also not NEARLY as high on the Orton-Cena series as everyone else seems to be. I like the SS 07 match, and I still have to watch the SS 09, NWO 08, and UNF 07 matches , but I have BP 09 at *** 1/4 (Seen some people giving it four plus) , the Ironman match at ***, and the HIAC match at ** 3/4. I think the WWE tries to force how epic these two are , down our throats. Both men have much, much better opponents.

Unfortunately, it was main events such as Diesel/Mabel that made '95 so terrible.
Agreed on Orton/Punk, though. I have never been able to get into Orton as a main event player. Nearly all of his feuds/matches that people expect to be good (vs Cena, vs HHH) haven't been. Feud vs. Christian was good.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Only Cena/Orton matches worth watching are NWO 08 and BP 09, but the finish to BP 09 can leave a baaad taste.
Getting back into fully trading and selling discs again, so I decided to go through my collection today and make sure I have everything on my list currently (nothing lost etc), and to see what needs to be added (as well as getting around to going through about 50 discs with nothing written on them lol). Didn't realise I had so many WWE 3 disc releases from the last 2 years lol. Also had to give up going through my discs half way in. Got too bloody many to go through at once  . So many comps!

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I was live for NWO 08 which probably made the match better in my eyes than it truly was. Even though DQ finishes are becoming more and more commonplace/annoying, Orton slapping the shit out of the referee was hilarious. Crowd was great for that match, too.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I liked Cena and Orton's several feuds. The only match they had that I really don't like is their SummerSlam 09 match. I even thought their HIAC match wasn't too bad.
