And I get paid in a week. Also after the Finlay timeline (seen it but want it on disc lol), and I'll probably get a few other things from you .

I actually felt the Cornette Invasion angle sounded a little dated for the time. And this from someone who likes Cornette>>>>> Russo. BUT I have to admit I would like to see how the guy would book it in the WWF considering he wrote for both and he created slot of the WWF gimmicks at that time so therefore he'd probably know how they'd work.

95 with Nash and 97 with Cornette are the best out so far. 2000 with Rikishi wasn't great and although 01 with Ivory was ok she was the wrong choice to do it as they missed out alot of the major stuff cos she had no involvement.

Just finished watching Guest Booker : Jim Cornette books the Invasion angle , and all I can say is WOW. I don't know about that one, it was very entertaining but at the same time , extremely ridiculous. I Mean, a 15 match , 5 hour Wrestlemania card featuring Hogan vs Dusty , Austin vs Foley, and Rock vs Sting ? Don't know about that one... A great watch nonetheless, and if anybody could get me a link to any more of his shoots it would be greatly appreciated.

As a side note , here are my STARZ!* for the PPV that I watched last night/today (had to break it up into two viewings : Judgment Day 2009

CM Punk vs Umaga : ** 3/4
Jack Swagger vs Christian : ** 3/4
Shelton Benjamin vs John Morrison : ** 3/4
IC Title : Rey Mysterio(c) vs Chris Jericho : *** 1/2
WWE Title : Randy Orton(c) vs Batista : ** 1/4
John Cena vs The Big Show : * 1/2
WHC : Edge(c) vs Jeff Hardy : ***

MOTN : Mysterio vs Jericho
S(hit)OTN : Cena vs Big Show (One of if not THE worst PPV match Cena has ever had)

Overall Rating : 5/10

Watching The GAB 07 now, MVP vs Matt Hardy delivered big ; Can't wait to see the rest of the card.

Umaga/Hardy from GAB '07 OWNS.

[SmokeAndMirrors]

I do not get the hate for Vengeance 2007. Obviously the whole Benoit situation is a big downer when going back and watching it. But I feel the matches range from decent to very good and is a very solid PPV offering.

[Brye]

I wasn't a big fan. Only match I really liked was Cade/Murdoch vs Hardyz.

[Ether]

Watched True Story of Wrestlemania Vol 1 with a friend just now, really enjoyable. Some flaws though (only really going in depth on Taker at the end, not going in depth of any WM21 match, no Benoit but that's expected), but still really good.

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 *****.

Punk/Bryan that good? Never bothered to watch OTL but I can remember everyone raving about it. Is it better than Punk/Cena at MITB?

Indeed it was. Both are classics, but the difference for me is when it comes down to it, I'll take an amazing wrestling match over a very well-built match that had good wrestling. Punk/Cena had everything necessary to deliver a classic going into their match at MITB and they did so, but Punk/Bryan had NOTHING going for it and they went out there and blew that match away imo. They created a (very) basic story in the ring with the nothing they had to work with, wrestled fantastically throughout and just created a damn near perfect wrestling classic. Now it's the weakest of the "wrestling" classics on my ***** list, but it still is such to me.
