Is that the same guy who called Rock a better tag team wrestler then Austin to? I had a browse at the tread yesterday and someone said that, Couldn't believe anyone in there right mind could think that.

Since you'r all talking about over rated and under rated matches. I think Miz vs Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes vs Sin Cara is under rated it was a good matches from what i can remember, and also I'm not sure if it counts but Seth Rollins vs Cody Rhodes from Fort Pierce is very good.

Put that thread to rest.

Most underrated:
Kane/Orton at ER. Not a GREAT match by any means, but a really good and entertaining one that was immediately forgotten due to being on a PPV with 3 separate ****1/4+ matches. I almost wanted to say Regal/Ambrose, but it's FCW -- can't expect everyone to have that on their best of lists.

Most overrated:
Rock/Cena. I'm not even sure I have this one at ***. One of the most disappointing matches in recent years.

Favorite:
Lesnar/Cena. Most rewatchable match for me. I never get sick of it. It's absolutely an alien match that was dropped in our laps by benevolent wrestling gods as a reward for putting up with the Brodus Clayishness of today's WWE.

v Dustin Rhodes (Halloween Havoc 91)

WarGames (WrestleWar 92)
v Steamboat (Clash 20)
Blondes v Steamboat/Douglas (Clash 1/13/93)
Blondes v Bagwell/2 Cold Scorpio (Worldwide 5/8/93)
w/Vader v Flair/Anderson (WCWSN 11/13/93)
v Steamboat (Bash at the Beach 94)
v Steamboat (Clash 8/24/94)



That's his Best Of to me, but he has so much more that's really worth watching. There's Dangerous Alliance tags all over the place. Watch anything he did with Steamboat. There's a Steamboat match from 3/94 that I've seen called their best match together, but I haven't been able to get a hold of it yet. Austin matches up really well Sting in 1994. If Sting came to the WWF in 2001 when Austin was in his Best in the World SuperWorker period they could have had a really good match. Austin has a lump of good matches with Barry Windham in 92, but I didn't really find one that hit a home run for me. Still definitely, definitely worth checking out. Blondes have ton of other really good stuff, but I don't like it a much as the above. Anything with Steamboat/Douglas (except that cage match piece a shit that I hate) or Bagwell/Scorpio is good. v Flair and Arn from the 6/93 Clash I may have listed if not for the terrible finish. The Arn/Roma tags are good shit too. I can't name anything from ECW because I haven't seen 90decimalpoint% of his run there, but he had singles matches with Mikey Whipwreck right? Mikey is awesome so those had to be good.

[Obfuscation]

I was bored out of my mind by the Blonds vs Arn/Roma. Normally I looked to early 90's WCW tag scene to deliver. In that one it didn't for me.

his tag w/Flair vs Sting & Steamboat from Saturday Night 7/30/94 deserves a mention. It's on Steamboat's set iirc.

I honestly think Austin only worked a few matches in ECW. Maybe just the two that are known (vs Whipwreck, and vs Whipwreck & Sandman) Yep. Thumbed through all the ECW shows from when he joined till he was in the WWF and he only worked those two matches. He mostly did promos during his stint there.

[Yeah1993]

That 94 tag is pretty great actually, yeah.

I had no idea in hell he had so little matches in ECW. I thought I'd only seen like 10% of it when I've probably seen all of it.

Most overrated match of the year:

Cena/Rock from WM deserves a mention no doubt. It simply isn't good. At all. Crowd on TV sucked for the most part too. Rock looked like he was dying half way into it. They sat in rest holds 90% of the time. Kane/Orton earlier in the night was superior. A year long, unbelievably SHIT build and we get a terrible match. Seeing this get ratings of *** and above makes it overrated as hell to me.

Punk/Jericho ER - Its a good match, but certainly not great, and absolutely in no way, shape or form better than their classic WM match. Despite being in Punk's hometown, like WM for Rock/Cena, the crowd sucked on TV. Every now and then they'd pick up, usually to pop for a weapon spot. Part of the match was a little dull too.

And underrated:

Hmmm... not really sure. I think every match that's been good has been given props by everyone here near enough. Ok, some people don't like some matches as much as others, but not really to the point of being underrated unless you just count one or two people's opinions.

Personal favourite match:

Bryan Vs Punk OTL, and likely the best match of the year for me too. Still need to re-watch HIAC... HHH/Taker HIAC. Not the HIAC PPV. Watched Show/Sheamus last night again while I had no internet. Nice to see pretty much everyone enjoying it. Finishing stretch was awesome. Oh yeah, Punk/Bryan. Awesome, awesome contest.
