Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Edge Undertaker was not as good as HBK Flair, period.
I have HBK Flair on ****3/4 and Edge Taker on ****1/4.
HBK Flair was not *****, although if you give it to it, I can understand it completely. For Example as someone mentioned WM XX, Benoit vs. HHH vs. HBK was *****.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Every time I watch HBK/Flair I end up with a different rating in my head. I think for now I'm going to settle on ****3/4 because it wasn't quite a ***** wrestling match but the story those two men told in the ring made it nearly perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if my rating changed the next time I watch it but for now I'm saying ****3/4. MOTY so far.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I must have been watching a different match than everyone else (Taker/Edge). So far I have seen only one person give it the same as me, ****1/4-****1/2 seems to be the popular rating.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
It started off way too slowly. It was still a great match in the end, but the slow start hurt it a bit.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
If the WWE title match had been allowed that much time it would've OWNED.

Agreed.
If they plan triple threats out very well, and don't just settle for the "out of the ring, one on one, etc." habit that they fall into, you get great triple threat matches. Besides the obvious XX main event, Cena/CC/Y2J @ Vengeance 05 was my favorite triple threat match because of how little they did the one on one stuff. The triple threat match on Sunday had great elements and other things that make a triple threat match really good, but for me the ending was a little bit flat. It could be because I find Triple H's Pedigree to be one of the slowest, easiest- countering finishers out there.
