What I'm asking is, is there anybody besides Flair who is top 10-15 in both in-ring presence AND on the mic. The closest three would HAVE to be Savage, Austin, and Eddie, wouldn't it ? All around I'd DEFINITELY put Savage top 5, one of the best on the mic ever coupled with his unmistakeable consistency and big match performances.
Terry Funk and Jerry Lawler.

YEAH1993 LIKE BUTTON made by that dude who used to have George Costanza wearing a Santa hat in his avatar. Credit to that guy.
Just watched the new NWO doc. Its ok. Only an hour and 3 minutes long though, so while they do touch on most of the things you'd want/expect them to, they really don't go into the detail you'd want them to. Plus some things are of course still missed out (Luger beating Hogan on Nitro for the title and the Horseman feud being the two main ones I can think of). Just a shame they couldn't have Hogan and Bischoff and Hall on it. Footage from the Monday Night Wars and NWO: Back in Black docs are used for them, mostly stuff we've seen, and a couple of bits here and there that was new (aka recorded for those docs but never used). Seeing Russo was certainly something lol. I knew he was in it, but still, Russo on a WWE DVD in 2012. Crazy!
How's Dolph and Cena's chemistry together? I remember them having a match on Raw awhile back but don't remember the actual match lol. I just remember Punk on commentary and him hitting Cena in the back with a chair at the end of the segment.
I'll give it another watch soon and re-review it, though. Just to see what if I missed anything. But fuck AJ, she ruins everything she's involved in.
I actually thought her role as guest ref was the best "guest ref interaction" in a match in a LONG time. Was a plus that she wasn't out there for the entire time too. Maybe that's what did it. LOVE that match.
@Segunda Caida - I have Windham/Pillman vs Steamboat/Douglas just a notch above Midnight Express vs Rock N' Roll Express WrestleWar '90. Midnight/Southern Boys is #1 in my book though. Wished I owned more of those tags from the early 90's WCW. Lucky WWE put all of those on DVD as it is. Lacking the Dangerous Alliance tag matches =
@ Clique - Cena/Dolph's chemistry in that match owned. I'm pretty excited at the prospect of them finally working together on PPV. That match back in 2010 was the sign, to me at least, that Dolph was gonna have a chance to be a main eventer within the company. It took longer than expected following the match. Nonetheless, glad to see I wasn't far off with my thought.

Bryan/Punk MITB match is good, but not great and certainly nowhere near their absolute classic (and currently joint MOTY for me) OTL match. AJ was great in the match I thought, BUT I thought the whole thing could have been soooooo much better if when she introduced the kendo stick (or chair? I forget) for them to basically fight over, it was the first weapon in the match. Had absolutely no effect for me since they'd already been beating each other up with weapons. Plus I wasn't the biggest fan of them using weapons in the first place. Bryan Vs Punk is one of those matches that I highly doubt would EVER benefit from using weapons. Would be like Flair/Steamboat beating the piss out of each other with kendo sticks. Pointless and shitty and would take away from what they do best together; wrestle.
I prefer Money In The Bank. Sweet bloody science the reaction that came over me the first time I watched it. Holy shit I don't remember marking that hard for something in a long, long time.

Hated that angle too which might have ruined it for me altogether. It might also be my answer for the question some pages back which was "Has an angle ever ruined a match for you?". I can pretty much confirm this one.
On a different note, I just watched Raw 2005 in Japan (07/02/05) and there was an okay Edge/HHH title match and a nice little submission match between Benoit/Jericho. Those green tights Benoit wears look pretty cool too, although nothing matches the cute red ones from the Royal Rumble 04.
