On second thought, I'm bumping it to ****. It was not just drama, the in-ring action itself was pretty good and above the usual JBL standards.

[Yeah1993]

Mysterio/Cara stuff wasn't good at all, but I didn't expect anything from it. I hope they don't match them up. Rey needs to stay the fuck away from Sin Cara as he obviously doesn't have that much longer a career left and shouldn't be wasted on shit.

Eddie/JBL is ridiculous. Good contender for top five WWE of the decade. If not it's definitely in the top 10; easily the best WWE match of 2004.

Yeah, I'm curious as to your top 10 WWE matches of the last decade ?

Also, anybody else find it strange that we're talking about Rey-Rey on page 619 ? As a tribute to the underappreciated legend of the ring (and potentially the most consistent of all time) , I'ma throw out my top 4 Rey singles matches complete with STARZ!

1. vs Eddie Guerrero HH 97 : ***** (3rd greatest match in WCW history IMO)
2. vs Eddie Guerrero SD 05 : **** 1/2 (one of the greatest TV matches ever)
3. vs Chris Jericho BASH 09 : **** 1/2
4. vs Eddie Guerrero JD 05 : **** 1/4

Why four ? I couldn't decide on five..... Rey and Eddie just had freaky chemistry. They'd be in my top 10 all time fr best chemistry, that's for sure. Even though they produced this...

Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero WM XXI : ** 1/2 .... One of the worst matches I've seen from both men.

WWE Night of Champions 2012

WWE United States Championship: The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Sin Cara - **
Randy Orton vs. Dolph Ziggler - ***1/2
World Heavyweight Championship: Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio - **3/4
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. John Cena - ****1/4

Punk/Cena was as expected, an excellent match. The chemistry is unbelievable. Like many, not a big fan of the countless kickouts at the end of the match, but you know what, it worked. I was on the edge of my fucking seat. Didn't like the swerve, but it made sense to further the angle. Only thing I didn't like was Cena running around after he "won" as if he didn't just get GTS'd twice and went through a bitch of a main event wrestling match. But nothing to lose sleep over, great stuff from both guys as expected. Just slightly below their Summerslam 2011 match. I rank their series:

1. Money in the Bank 2011 - *****
2. Summerslam 2011 - ****1/2
3. Night of Champions 2012 - ****1/4
4. WWE RAW 8/22/11 - ****
5. WWE RAW 1000 - **3/4

My MOTY list thus far:

1. Wrestlemania XXVIII: Undertaker vs. Triple H - ****1/2
2. Over the Limit 2012: CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan - ****1/2
3. Night of Champions 2012: John Cena vs. CM Punk - ****1/4
4. Wrestlemania XXVIII: CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho - ****1/4
5. Extreme Rules 2012: CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho - ****1/4
6. Extreme Rules 2012: Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan - ****
7. WWE RAW 4/2/12: CM Punk vs. Mark Henry - ****
8. Wrestlemania XXVIII: John Cena vs. The Rock - ***3/4
9. Money in the Bank 2012: Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler - ***3/4
10. Over the Limit 2012: Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Alberto Del Rio - ***3/4

S'wrong with that match?

Watched Wrestling with Shadows on Netflix again, still really good. Sad how things turned out though when Julie told HHH that "what goes around comes around" and HHH turned out to be one of the GOATS. I guess Shawn got fucked with his back, but even then he came back and became top 5 in most peoples lists and usually higher than Bret.

I meant decade as in 2000-2009, but if you add 2010-2012 I'm even sure the list would change. ennehways~

1. Benoit/Finlay JD 06
2. Rey/Eddie 6/23/05
3. Rock/Austin WM17


I'm positive I'll keep that as the top three. *Maybe* not in that exact order, but I've wactched all three semi-recently and feel comfortable with that.

Eddie/JBL JD04
Cena/Umaga RR07
HHH/Jack RR00

No idea what order. I've watched RR00 and JD04 this year and am still not on a decision. Despite the fact I've watched each like a million times each, I'd have to do it again. Hell.......I'm not sure they'd even be the next three. But I'll say so for now. That's six:

Benoit/Austin 5/31/01

Not sure this is as good as those^ three, but I'd put it ahead of anything else from memory. So it's #7 for now.

HHH/Jericho FL00
Powertrip/Vanilla Midgets 5/21/01
Lesnar/Taker NM02
Rey/Orton 4/7/06
Benoit/Finlay 5/5/06
Benoit/Regal NM06
Michaels/Taker WM25

I haven't seen most of these in over a year, but I imagine the last three spots would be taken by three of these matches. There's a few there I don't have 1000% faith in to hold up as really great, but I'll go by my last watch, whenever that was.


But yeah, I guess the point is Eddie/JBL is definitely top ten.

[Jimix]

Eddie vs JBL at Jugdment Day 2004 is a Top 5 WWE match ever in my opinion, a perfect violent brawl with a lot of hate, blood and drama.

Eddie/Rey 23/6 is for me the best match WWE has ever put on and my second favourite match of all time just behind Lawler/Dundee. Also the Benoit/Austin match is not the best but one of the funniest match I've ever seen in a WWE ring.

My WWF/E top 10 would be something like this:

1. Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio - WWE SmackDown 23/6/05
2. Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin - WWF Wrestlemania XIII
3. Sgt Slaughter vs The Iron Sheik - WWF 16/6/1984
4. Chris Benoit vs Stone Cold Steve Austin - WWE SmackDown 31/5/01
5. Eddie Guerrero vs JBL - WWE Judgment Day 2004
6. The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels - WWF Bad Blood 1997
7. Fit Finlay vs Chris Benoit - WWE Judgment Day 2006
8. John Cena vs CM Punk - WWE Money in the Bank 2011
9. Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat - WWF Wrestlemania III
10. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle - WWE Summerslam 2001

Maybe I would put Lesnar/Cena on it. I think with time people will consider it as a better match.

[Gamblor]

Eddie/JBL JD04 is fucking awesome. It wouldn't be in my top 10 WWE matches, but might be in top 20. ****1/2. I need to re-watch it. It's been awhile.

Top 10:

1) Benoit/Angle RR03
2) Austin/Bret WM13
3) Undertaker/HBK BB97
4) Undertaker/HBK WM25
5) Undertaker/Angle NWO06
6) Austin/Bret SVS96
7) Foley/HHH RR00
8) Bret/Owen WM10
9) Punk/Bryan OTL 2012
10) Rock/Austin WM17

Actually I think that's also all the matches I have at *****.

[Yeah1993]

Not sure any match of the 2000s would make my top ten for WWE, but I'd have to re-watch the best of the 80s and 90s to say for sure. Benoit/Finlay might make it and Eddie/Rey has a bit of a shot (it is probably my favourite match in the history of wrestling though- worldwide), anything other than that seems like a stretch.
