You both might also want to check out Rollins/Sandow 10/30/11 and 11/13/11. Seabs pimped both as legit MOTYCs and great showcases for Rollins in particular as a babyface worker who sells on a level close to 2009 Christian. The 10/30/11 match also apparently furthers the Ambrose/Rollins feud.

Actually finding the dates in Seabs' reviews has made me want to go check them out tomorrow or the day after. The way he lays out the structure and body of each match makes it sound incredible and the fact they seem to develop a long running story with every match makes it even sweeter.

Having just checked, every match Cal and I listed is on youtube, bar Sandow/Rollins 10/30. Seabs should have a link somewhere and Cal may also have one, though I don't want to pressure both since they provide enough as it is :)

The Rollins/Sandow series by the sounds of it is just a mix of great booking, Rollins being a great babyface limb seller and Sandow working his character and dissecting the limb very well, albeit perhaps not as good as someone like Ambrose. The 10/2 Rollins/Ambrose match apparently is 'THE' match between them. Ambrose apparently controls most of it with some brutal arm work and great character work revelling in the pain with Rollins not only selling expressively but also incorporating the injury into the match and namely his comeback offence.

Yup. Say what you will about the booking and the lack of real character depth on the roster, the actual ability of a lot of young guys is especially bright. Its just a shame they're booked in typically lazy feuds with no real progression or direction and at a time where WWE are struggling ratings wise and making it hard for these guys to get as over as they should be.

Gonna watch the first disc of "Rob Van Dam : One of a Kind" tonight. Big RVD fan here, was wondering if anybody had seen this before and wanted to share their thoughts so I actually know what I'm in for here.

Looking for a nice change of pace after the abysmal match listings of the NWO, Road Warriors, and WCCW DVDs. Two of the three worst match listings I've ever seen on a DVD right there , and the LOD set wasn't exactly Flair-Windham either :lol

He does, and I've been looking forward to it for a while now :)

Just read Brett Mix's review of it, where he gave various matches featuring SABU **** , so I obviously can't take the review all too seriously. Anybody have a REAL review of this ? :lol
 
#11,909 · (Edited)
Rob's DVD is fantastic if you like the old ECW style of match since its mostly ecw stuff.

Disc ones is the best since it has two Lynn matches with the one from LD being one of the best ever and my MOTY in 1999.

Anyway it's awesome...

Punk/Bryan wasn't nominated, imo, because as fantastic as it was, it's just a standalone match. The feud going in was shit and completely forgettable therefore the vast majority of people who don't post on wrestling boards and wet their pants over DAT WORKRATE tend to forget about it. That's what separates a true classic from just a really really good match to me. It needs to have those intangibles surrounding it. I'm speaking in general terms here but everybody will remember where they were and how they felt during Rock/Cena and when Rock won but nobody will remember where they were and how they felt during Punk/Bryan and when Punk won outside of a select few people. That's the difference. 5 years down the line, hardly anybody is going to be talking about Punk/Bryan outside of this forum most likely whereas a shit ton of fans will be talking about Rock beating Cena at Wrestlemania 28. That's just the way it is no matter what way you try and spin it.

Besides, its all fake 8*D
While that may be true, it doesn't explain Sheamus/Show getting nominated over Punk/Bryan. Meh, guess I'm jus' a lil' butthurt Punk mark. :(

Nope, it really doesn't lol. The other 3 matches are self explanatory, Seamus/Show, I have no idea why they put it on there although I think it's pretty cool that they did. But what does it even matter if Punk/Bryan was nominated or not? It still wouldn't have won.

Not unless WWE rigged it so the right match won. :p
