Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
For me the last few seconds of Flair/HBK and the moment afterwards was beyond ***** but the match itself was nothing special except the last couple minutes which were great.
Taker/Edge WM24 - **** - Great match. Really awesome back and forth and the stuff near the end was fun. This match suffers from Too Many Finisher Reversals Syndrome. you get to the point in a match where it's like "I know it can't be over because he hasn't reversed that finisher yet". Is it just me or does Taker have some of the weakest looking kick outs? Really fun match though.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Gotta agree Taker/Edge **** too slow of a start to be any higher, but what a great ending to a pretty damn good WM.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Wrestlemania 24
Undertaker/Edge - ****
MITB - ****
Flair/HBK - *** 3/4 (The aftermath was great, but the match itself wasn't *****)
Everything else was *** or below and I wouldn't even rate the ECW Championship Match.
Edit: On second viewing I found myself enjoying Flair/HBK more than the first. Solid ****.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Taker/Edge - ****1/2
Flair/Michaels - **** - ****1/4
These are just preliminary and will likely change when I watch it again. By the way, I have MITB and Cena/Orton/Triple H at ***3/4.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Michaels vs. Flair - *****
There were some flaws, but nothing major enough for me to care. The emotion was off the charts, and the story of Shawn holding back until Flair forces him to go full tilt was incredible. "I'm sorry, I love you" was great, but I actually loved Flair yelling at him to end it. Fucking fantastic, and everything professional wrestling should be.
Edge vs. Undertaker - ****1/2
Taker came in as an indestructible killing machine who had dominated at Wrestlemania. When he left, he was 16-0 and the World Champ. But only just. Edge had him so well scouted that it took him forever to rally any sort of offense. Even what he did get was often cut off quickly since Edge had all his big moves scouted. The only mistake Edge made was lacking a big move strong enough to put him away, allowing Taker to barely slip on the choke and finish him off. Some of the best storytelling I've seen in WWE over the last while from someone not named "Michaels" or "Cena"
I have the triple threat and MITB at ***3/4 each. The three way would be higher if not for Cena jobbing to what more or less amounted to a 6 count from ONE Pedigree? I cry bullshit. It doesn't hold up to history and fucked up the perfect finish to me. MITB was great once in kicked into high gear, but it started off with weird pacing and sort of took me a while to get back into it. Still fun though, and awesome result.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
if there is an MVP for 07-08 it has got to be Taker. This guy is the 'Epic Win Guy'
