I dunno, I thought it was a perfect catalyst to slow Michaels down and let Flair start going. He knew he couldn't win by attacking his ribs. He did give a couple of suplexes any way to ground him, but I think the point was that Michaels was so slowed down to Flair's level, that Flair could start getting at Michaels. I thougt it worked out perfectly as far as story goes.

If not for the semi-botched finish it could have been ****3/4. Awesome, awesome, awesome match. Oddly enough that guy who supposedly can't wrestle ends up in another amazing match. What are the odds?

Jesus I'm the Orton mark and even I will not give it any more than ***1/2

His facial expressions when he thought he was winning were perfect and his selling was pretty good. And Show deserves a lot of credit for pulling it out of the bag too.

Flair/Michaels was bloody tremendous.

Mayweather's pants deserve all the credit in the world

Yep Show/Mayweather turned out to be very good in the end. A lot of people were saying it'sd ruin the card,and I've even read posts that saying they wouldn't watch wrestling again yada yada bullshit.
It turned out to be a very solid match.Most people hate Mayweather but the man has got skills.And Money of course.
^Yes Mayweather's pants were brillaint.

I rate matches based on how much I enjoyed them. I enjoyed that match (Triple Threat) more than any other at Wrestlemania. What can I say, I just did. It had the perfect pace, kept me glued to the set, had me on the edge of my seat several times, and when the finish went down I was jumping up and down. I know it's kind of cheesy that Cena didn't kick out of a 6 second delayed Pedigree but for whatever reason I choose to look past that and enjoy Orton snaking his way out with a win. (Had the finish been better and the ref hadn't stalled for two seconds waiting for Orton I would have rated it even higher)

I think things like story can be overrated. If the match paints a good story and it helps me enjoy myself then sure I'm all for it, but that doesn't mean I can't have a great time watching a 15 minute spot-fest or a series of sprints. I think for me the pace of a match has a really profound effect on how much I enjoy it. I have a really hard time watching really slow matches (with a few notable exceptions). Honestly as big a deal as HBK/Flair was I actually got up and made myself a sandwich about 5 minutes into it because I was bored. (The least 5 minutes were awesome though). During the Triple Threat I never once for a fraction of a second even contemplated taking my eyes off the set.

Different people like different things I guess. *shrug*

Orton/Triple H/Cena - ***1/2
Michaels/Flair - **** 1/2
MITB - ***3/4
Undertaker/Edge - ****1/4
The emotion of Flair/HBK was so high that I think it bumped up the score, the match wasn't perfect, but it felt epic. Didn't really like the three way that much, but loved the ME.

I feel the same as you with what you say in your first four lines and I was exactly the same. But a 14 minute match would have to be something expectional to grab that rating.

I was on the edge of my seat and glued to the set when Edge cashed in MITB against Cena at NYR but I'm hardly going to rate that threw the roof for the actual match quality.
