I'm not really a fan of Cena/HHH from WrestleMania 22, but I might need to give it a re-watch as I haven't watched in a while. The match didn't stand out to me and it's not something I fondly remember when I think of WrestleMania 22, unlike the Edge/Foley and HBK/McMahon matches.

I really don't understand the hate for the finish of WM22. Can somebody explain how it could have been better?

So much for light hearted conversation. Like it, don't like it, it's no skin off my nose.

Not worth discussing anymore. Much rather do so on a match I actually give a damn about. CM Punk vs Chris Jericho from WrestleMania 28 works. That's some prime, phenomenal storytelling right there. ****1/2.

**Brye** · 10-26-2012, 07:09 PM

****1/2 for me as well.

Match tells a damn good story.

Random ratings for me.

Trips/Hardy NM '08 - ****1/2
Angle/HBK WM 21 - ****
Drew McIntyre/Morrison TLC '09 - ***1/4
Benjamin/HBK Raw '05 - ****1/4
Finlay/Benoit JD '06 - ****3/4

It's like FUCK it is too damn good. They killed it at WrestleMania. Dream scenario fulfilled.

Hot damn, nearly the full 5 for Benoit/Finlay. Nice. It's so damn awesome that I can't wonder why you think it's nearly perfect. Props on Hardy/H. Superb bout. A bit higher than where I have it rated, but that's irrelevant. That entire PPV is legit. Love it. Bought it on PPV and the day it was released on DVD.

Since it was discussed a few pages back I'll bring it up again: you seen Benoit/Regal from No Mercy 2006? MANLY

I have bad memories of Jericho/Punk tbh, mainly because I was just too exhausted from the HIAC to pay it any attention while it was happening. Watching it on TV/DVD was WAY better than live in the stadium but it still doesn't do much for me. Not a horrible match by any means but not a great one either. Probably because it has been tainted in my memory lol.

Agreed.

Seriously, NM '08 might be my favorite non-big 4 PPV after Backlash '07. Love it. I'd give Jericho/HBK ****1/2 too. Show/Taker and Hardy/Henry owned too.

HELL YEAH. I remember that match not even being announced for the show either. So good.

What do you think of Orton/Rhodes street fight from last year on SD? I rewatched it again and I've got it at **** now. Awesome match, imo. Would say it's Cody's best match unless I'm forgetting something.

Really? A bit surprised by that. Story didn't leap out at you at all?

I'd put it over Backlash '07 imo. Have the Ladder match at the full 5. Hit it out of the park with that feud. Taker/Show was soooo awesome, haha. I was expecting to like it and it still blew me away.

Talk about best unannounced match ever.

I loved it. Have it put under the **** umbrella too. Smackdown 2011 MOTY if you ask me. Best part was how they incorporated the loss for Rhodes to be a good thing. Losing the mask and all that jazz. He needed that since I thought he should have won at Vengeance. At least they played it off to where he wasn't effected by Orton winning the feud. Yeah, I'd say it was Rhodes' best singles match to date. Nothing else stands out as being that strong ever since he moved to Smackdown in 2010.

lmao @ your answer, Greg.
