Been watching/re-watching a ton of 2010 WWE stuff today. The last hour has been all Drew McIntyre. Man, he was fucking good. I remember him being so good, having all of this unique offense, being a master of the limb work and piecing a match together really well in general, but I don't remember him being such a tremendous bumper. The drop kick into ringside apron bump in one of the Christian matches was nasty, and the flat back bump on the steel steps in the 6/23 Matt Hardy match was insane and kinda disgusting. Then he takes the same bump on the announce table in a later Christian match and could have pierced his head open on a monitor. Nuts. If 2010 McIntyre was around right now he'd easily be the best wrestler in the WWE today.

He even got a quality match out of Kofi Kingston from Fatal Four Way.
The series vs Christian on Smackdown was a total highlight for me. Kane might have been world champ and hell Dolph might have finally been IC champ, but if Christian vs Drew was signed, then that's where my interest was.

I actually missed most of D-MAC's best days when he actually got significant TV time.
When Jeff Hardy became the WWE champion I became so upset that it caused me to stop watching consistently for two years. I'm dead fucking serious when I say that too. The only PPV's I watched live from Survivor Series 2008 to Wrestlemania XXVII were WM's XXV and XXVI. Might be one of the only people in IWC history who got so fed up with the product that they went beyond bitching about it and just stopped watching. Checked results every now and then and was legitimately shocked to hear about Miz and Sheamus's first title reigns (I never even heard of Sheamus before that, still shocked about Miz TBH). HHH-Taker got me back into this, but after Wrestlemania I stopped caring again... Until I watched Capitol Punishment and saw how well CM Punk performed in every facet of the company.
So yeah, I stayed after that and haven't really missed a PPV since. If it wasn't for Punk I probably wouldn't be consistently watching wrestling (I never watch RAW on TV anyways, always stream) at all because of that douchebag Jeff Hardy and the stupid decisions that the E' has made over the years. Leads me to an interesting theory ; A ton of people were like me and came back for Punk, buy a SHIT ton of his merch and watch a ton, but since we're a different kind of fan we don't watch TV thus not helping ratings. Who the fuck cares about ratings anyways besides a bunch of flaming retards ? Anybody else go through a sabbatical from Wrestling like I did ?
AAANNNYYYWAYYYS YEAHHHHHH.... D-Mac. Missed a ton of his shit and really only saw sporadic stuff from EC's 10 and 11
I don't really get the Jeff Hardy hate. When he was on the dude was really good.
I had a big sabbatical from WWE. I watched it here and there, but I missed so much. I didn't watch a single full PPV between WrestleMania 25 and WrestleMania 27. I can't ever have a sabbatical from wrestling in general; I have DVDs and stream sites if I don't like what's on TV. I do remember the first Davey Richards match I watched put me off for two weeks, though. That is genuinely not a joke.

I gotta check Drew v Kofi; I didn't think McIntyre got a singles match on PPV then. McIntyre v Christian should have been a World Title feud by this point in 2012. Hell, it possibly could have been in 2010 but instead we got Kane v Edge in one of my least favourite feuds in the history of wrestling. Just a horrible, dreadful, painful, awful, terrible feud.
I should get on all of the Chris Masters stuff again. If it wasn't for Mysterio he probably would have been the best in the WWE that year. I'm not exaggerating. I'll watch all of the Rey/Punk matches again too. And anything Regal and Goldust did. And some Evan Bourne, Sheamus and Ziggler. And I never saw the Lawler/Miz TLC, so that, too. Man WWE were putting out some motherfucking consistency in 2010.
PS everybody watch this Rey/Taker from SD- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vypJCPQdvwM I never actually saw their Rumble match (I'll watch THAT right now, actually), but I'll be surprised if it was this good.

Taker & Rey actually have pretty good chemistry. The match posted is actually the match where Rey's 619 injured Undertaker (broken nose?). Most people know about the Rumble match that year and they also had a match on a special Christmas episode of Smackdown in 09.
I'll watch that, too. Watched Rumble just now and it was really fun. Definitely liked 5/28/10 more, though.
Little help- what's the date on the Regal v DH Smith match everyone likes?

I think it is 12/30/2010 for the Regal/Smith match. As for that Taker/Mysterio match, it's definitely their weakest together. It was their first meeting on a holiday episode so they really didn't do as much as they would later do on PPV and TV months later. Still, pretty cool seeing those two working together. I also like the Mysterio/Michaels match from the go home SD before Royal Rumble '10.
How do you feel about their Eddie Guerrero Tribute match ? I remember really liking that , as well as the Trips-Benoit match from the Smackdown afterwards. I always felt like those two shows were legit GREAT shows for some reason, even though I haven't seen them in years. My favorite episode of Raw would either have to be HOMECOMING or the first round in the gold rush tournament though
