Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Yeah, HBK has been using that submission for a few months now.
The only thing that hurt the match for me was when Ric Flair reacted late to a punch.
Still I gave the match ****3/4.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Him reacting late to a punch made you drop it 1/4* or did that have any effect at all?

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Didn't effect the rating. It was just the only mishap I remember from the match.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Just watched HBK/Flair again. My rating for it after 3 viewings was ****1/2, but now I'm considering going ****3/4. It just gets better every damn time I watch it. I can understand why people would think "It's only been rated so highly coz it's Michaels & Flair at 'Mania!", but that argument just doesn't fly with me. Different strokes though, I guess.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
My whole thing is with the way Micheals has been lately i think ive seen him do better. I enjoyed his match on RAW with Cena this year more(Dispite the shitty ending).

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Wow, people that agree with me that The Briscoes/MCMG match was not ***** material. It is reasons like this that I am glad I quit the ROH forum and came here. Over there they excommunicate you for speaking against the Briscoes or anything they have ever touched.
I gave it a **** at first viewing, but last week I bumped it to ****1/2.
Best part was when one of the Briscoes sold Alex Shelley spitting water in his face. One of the rare times they have ever sold, and by far the best sell of theirs I have ever seen.

A good wrestling match is like a balenced diet. Basic moves are carbs, they keep you going. It may not be your favorite part, arm drags and such, but they're key to your substance. Dairy is charisma and crowd interaction, like with bones, it strengthens the match. Meat is big moves like powerbombs and finishers. They are cool, but if you just rely on them you would be unhealthy, and the matches would be unwatchable. Technical mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them all, but some of it can be sweet chain wrestling. Last but not least (well maybe) is spots and random indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can not just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get **** and above.
MOTY-KENTA vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima ****1/2 (Kensuke Office)

What the one from last year, i actually rated it as my favorite match, idk if it was 5 stars, but i really liked it.
For me i was still cheering for the MCMG to win it even though i knew they were losing and the match kept me intresting.
Plus im a hardcore Shelley mark so....evey match is instant 5* |

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Anyone got Meltzer's rating on FLair/Michaels yet. It says the Observer issue with the info comes out in the coming week?

He doesn't give out ratings right away when the match is over like some other people. His ratings for WWE/TNA/ROH come out periodically and cover all the matches since the last time he gave out ratings.
If I were a betting man, I wouldn't expect more than ****-****1/4 at most from Meltzer on Flair/HBK. |

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Flair vs. HBK wasn't an mma match, a puro match, or involved Kobashi so it won't even crack ***
