I don't think ONS produced any MOTYCs. **** is the absolute highest I would give Edge/Taker after watching it twice. It was really entertaining but the psychology was all over the place.

If Taker/Edge is ****, then ONS did produce a MOTYC (at least by my standards). Also, ladder matches nowadays typically don't make sense.

I'm teetering between McGuinness/Black from Take No Prisoners and Strong/Stevens from FIP Redefined as my current MOTY with a slight edge going to the FIP match.

Same thing i had to deal with after watching McGuiness/Black.

I'll probably watch both again but at the moment both are very high ****1/2 for me.

Well I don't think it's a candidate for match of the year. It doesn't break my top 5 WWE matches personally. And I don't care if ladder matches don't make sense nowadays, that's not an excuse for this one having flaws. MITB IV made perfect sense to me anyways.

I'm in the ***3/4-**** range on Edge/Taker TLC, it had some great spots and all but like Ownage said there were some real flaws in the psychology and I thought their chemistry wasn't as good as their other matches as well.

Some of the match was just slow and awkward, especially that back and forth chair sequence. Felt like it went on way too long and just ate up a large amount of time.

Still a great match, but not one of the better TLC matches IMO. I personally enjoyed Cena/Edge alot more.

As for HBK/Tista, definitely not a MOTYC in my book. ***1/4 tops from me.

On first viewing of ONS:

Edge/Taker - ***3/4 - Great match. The run-in after run-in were extremely predictable, and you could see every spot coming from 30 miles away, but still a fun match.

HBK/Tista - ***1/2 - I thoroughly enjoyed HBK getting Batista Bombed, Batista Bombed again, and Spinebustered on the steps. "I don't love you and I'm not sorry" was a nice touch. The rest of the match was just OK. The Y2J involvement just seemed weird like they wanted him to be involved but couldn't make up their mind about how to use him. (On a side note: How much of a humongous disappointment has Y2J's return been?)

Nothing else above *** from that show.

One Night Stand
HBK/Batista Stretcher - ***1/2
Edge/Taker TLC - ****

Here's my problem with Nigel this year... he's been great against Black, Aries, and Dragon,and Strong (when he was a face), but... where are the other great matches? As top guy he has to deliver every night and he's deliverred dissapointments with Hero, Steen, Claudio, and Stevens. That counts heavily against him in my book.

I have Aries & Black matches from Nigel at ****1/2.

Aries being my MOTY atm.

Nigel/Tyler gets a **** 3/4 from me.

Tyler needs to be a baby face. NOW.
