Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Orton/HBK > Batista/Taker from SVS 07. That's a classic match and one of the few bright spots in the dark second half of 2007. Haven't seen their CS matches but they should be good too.
And HBK using the Crossface & Ankle Lock long after Benoit & Angle were memories for WWE fans was such a mark out moment!

Also thanks for posting that match Brye, added it too my watch later list. I remember the big spot in that match but not the entire match. Will check it out soon enough.

Yeah it's a blast of a match. ***1/2.
6 man tag is another uber fun match to watch. I loved it.
 @ someone mentioning Taka/HHH in here. holy SHIT my level of excitement being a kid watching that was unreal. I legit thought Taka beat him. Especially with the Michinoku driver. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Greg, go watch HBK/Orton now plz. I own it. So I can watch it anytime.  [meaningless brag/]

Orton/Michaels Cyber Sunday is good. I'll second Brye on that. DQ finish didn't bother me. It lead to something that worked out.

When I said Taker/Tista I was talking about the CS one, my favorite in the series.

I'm sure I own it too on VHS somewhere. I used to order every PPV and record them. My VHS library of WWE PPVs from 95-present is ridiculous.

Oh, I figured. I just had to compare it to HIAC since both were on the same show.
Cyber Sunday - Taker/Batista > Orton/Michaels
Survivor Series - Orton/Michaels > Taker/Batista
imo.
Greg, you still have a working VHS player? Bastard. Mine crapped out. Now I can't watch my WCW PPVs.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
It's super finnicky. Tapes get stuck every now and then if I try to fast forward/rewind too many times. If I'm just watching something all the way through (which isn't super thrilling for some of those mid-90s PPVs  ), it works fine.

Better than nothing. If you have Canadian Stampede then you'll be the real GOAT. (fuck that thread)

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I do have it. Would need to search long and hard for it, though. I started a project of popping all the tapes in and labeling them so that I could find things more easily when I wanted, but that was over 10 years ago. I've added a lot since then. Not sure why I just don't label them as I record them. Laziness, I guess.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I wasn't really digging Orton/HBK SS tbh. It felt as if HBK was just pulling submissions out of his ass coming down to the end. Don't get me wrong it's a good match but I wouldn't call it one of the best of all time or even for the year of 2007.
***1/2
Gonna watch Taker/Batista CS. I've a heard a lot of great stuff about the match. Tbh, I didn't find their WM 23 match all that.

It's been some months since I watched Taker/Batista CS. But from what I recall it's a damn good match.
