Ya'll need to get watching SD 06. Guy had a TON of great TV matches once he returned mid year. Chris Benoit, Finlay, Lashey, Mysterio and Kane, and then the PPV matches against Batista and Undertaker, and an awesome house show match in Germany against Undertaker that I prefer to their PPV matches. Then his 07 before he got injured had another great Undertaker match on TV, Batista on PPV, and some other stuff I'm likely forgetting .
After he comes back from the injury in 07 he sucked.
I'm still going through 2006 SDs here and there so I'll properly re-judge when I get to it, but Kennedy/Anderson is a piece of fucking garbage who isn't at good anything. There really aren't that many wrestlers in history I like less than him.

Evan Bourne vs Matt Hardy Cyber Sunday 2008 ***3/4
Evan Bourne vs Chris Jericho ****
Evan Bourne is a very talented competitor if he doesn't smoke too much synthetic marijuana and rehabs his ankle he may have a bright future in the WWE
Just watched the Austin doc, some really great stuff. lol at when HHH said leaving the company wasn't the right thing to do, it sounded like he was scared that Austin would beat the shit out of him or something. Also, I agree with Austin that the Austin/Bischoff coGM thing ended too soon. I also lol'd at Austin basically shitting on the WM14 match, although I can't blame him for it. Didn't even get to the extras yet, and it's already one of my favorite WWE DVDs.
I'm not going to include any tag matches he was in, so the credit is fully on Edge's performance. But he's had many great tag team matches, especially teaming with Christian in TLC matches.
1) vs John Cena - Unforgiven (TLC) 2006.
2) vs Matt Hardy - Unforgiven (Steel Cage) 2005.
3) vs Undertaker - WrestleMania 24.
4) vs Ric Flair - RAW 2006 (TLC).
5) vs Dolph Ziggler - Royal Rumble 2011.
I always thought Edge worked better in hardcore matches, and the TLC match is my all-time favorite match type. His match with Cena at Unforgiven 2006 was just awesome, and when you combine that with how good the feud was (best feud of 2006 easily) and the crowd, it's my favorite Edge match.
From last night's episode of Superstars, am I the only one that thinks Cesaro/Gabriel was a legit TV MOTYC? I don't know what it was about it, and I'm generally not one for picking apart matches and analysing them, but I personally thought it was a great match and off of the top of my head, the only TV MOTY that beats it was Punk/Henry I. It may just be me and my weird tastes, but whatever. Even if you don't think it is a TV MOTYC, it's still one of the better matches and definitely the best Cesaro match since his debut and the best Gabriel singles match. Give it a watch, definitely worth it for a sub 9 minute match.
Put Claudio in there with any light heavyweight and he's gonna give you greatness. In WWE, he could have good title defenses against Gabriel, Tyson Kidd, & Evan Bourne whenever he comes back. Possibly Kingston as well. If you liked that match check out his indy stuff against Mike Quackenbush, Davey Richards, & Matt Sydal.

It's not a TV MOTYC (Punk/Bryan I seems to be holding that honor) in my books but I thought it was just one of those really solid matches you'd expect to find on Superstars. Cesaro seemed to struggled to draw heat by his 'evil foreigner' antics and it made Gabriel's comeback look quite dry and uncharismatic. It did have some elements that I did enjoy like Cesaro working down Gabriel's abs and the Swiss Death caught me by surprise and that's always a good thing. I really need to make an effort to check out Cesaro's FCW/WWE work as I was a big fan of his when he was on the indies. Any other matches from Cesaro's run that are worth a watch?
