Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
WM 21:
Eddie/Rey - Urgh. Worst. Eddie Match. Ever.
MITB I - Best. MITB Match. Ever.
Undertaker/Orton - Great great match, though their weakest PPV match imo, which says something about their series as a whole.
Trish/Christy - LOL.
HBK/Angle - Great great match, and just slightly better than Undertaker/Orton for me now, though about 2 weeks ago I would have said Undertaker/Orton was a little better.
Show/Sumo Guy - LOL.
Cena/JBL - LOL.
Batista/HHH - Decent match, great moment for Batista.

Undertaker/Orton - One of Orton's best matches imo.
Trish/Christy - Decent if I recall correctly.
HBK/Angle - Fantastic ****+ match.
Show/Bono - LOL.
Cena/JBL - Spoiler: Cena gets beatdown, does his comeback, wins. DUD
Batista/HHH - Decent match that is often shitted on.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
HIAC at Vengeance was better, but the Mania match was more than respectable. Batista looked like a beast.
And i often wonder who booked the Cena/JBL match? It really just never took off, and then it was over before it built to any kind of climax.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
HIAC at Vengeance was awesome, Backlash match was building up to be awesome but then Batista forgot what selling was and killed the whole thing, and WM was decent but nothing that good imo. Could have been worse though, could have been Cena/JBL. Possibly the worst title match in WM history. And yeah, I'm including ALL title matches. Even Kane/Chavo (which is better by default because Chavo lost super fast!), Hogan/Yoko (the "surprise moment" factor makes it better. By almost zero, but enough to not be as bad as Cena/JBL  )... and Cena/Miz

I'd agree with Cena/JBL and Cena/Miz being the worst Wrestlemanai title matches of all time. Just utterly average in every way.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon (Royal Rumble 1995)
This was an amazing match. Fantastic heel/face dynamics, Bret is over as fuck, and watching him in the ring is a thing of beauty. Ramon is one helluva heel, of course. God, he was so fucking great. This was a MOTYC, with great storytelling, smart tactics and strategies from both of them. The selling was top notch too.
Rating: ****1/4

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Backlash 2000
WWF Tag Team Championships: Edge and Christian vs. D-Generation X (Road Dogg and X-Pac) - ***
Light Heavyweight Championship: Dean Malenko vs. Scotty-2-Hotty - ***1/2 (I always found S2H very underrated when given a chance, was over as fuck as well)
Tag Team Match: Big Bossman and Bull Buchanon vs. The APA - **/12 (Might not be much, but its a fun brawl)
WWF Hardcore Championship: Crash Holly vs. Tazz vs. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Perry Saturn - *** (A heap of fun)
Grudge Match: The Big Showe vs. Kurt Angle - Not even going to bother rating it
Tag Team Match: The Dudley Boyz vs. T&A - *** (How funny were those Trish promos, taunting Bubba Ray by the way Entertaining mini-feud)
WWF European Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. Essa Rios - **3/4 (a fair few botches and mistakes brought this down)
WWF Intercontinental Championship: Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho - ****
WWF Championship: Triple H vs. The Rock - ****1/2
Overall PPV rating: ****1/2
Now that may not make sense if you average out the match ratings, but that's not what I was rating on. I wasn't rating on the match quality, I was rating on entertainment value and this PPV had a whole heck of that. I didn't skip one bit, which is very unusual, and it is just generally a great PPV. It's normally remembered just for HHH/Rock and maybe Benoit/Jericho, but there were some hidden gems in there such as Malenko/S2H, Dudleys/T&A and even E&C/DX was good. Definitely one of the best PPVs ever, as far as I'm concerned especially considering how bad Wrestlemania was, that came before it.This kickstarted the best 14 months in Wrestling history, IMO, (Baklash 2000 - KOTR 2001) and boy, what a way do do it. If nobody has watched this PPV, I highly recommend you do so ASAP - even if it's just watching the matches.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
My all time favourite PPV, and second only to WM 19 as the best imo. I remember when it finally came up for pre-order on Silvervision; I was giddy as... I dunno, something super giddy. Not often I pre-order DVDs because I tend to wait and hope they go on offer, but I made sure to get THAT tagged classic set asap.
