Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I liked Edge/UT as well, not as much as Flair/HBK, but a quality match:
I know most of the talk has been about Ric/HBK, but what a match Edge/'Taker was. These are probably the 2 best psychologists in the company ATM, and this match they both clearly shined in that department. The work on the back at the start of the match was brilliant, Edge was pretty much non-stop, rarely stopping for a breather, and UT's selling was absolutely great, he's very, very under-rated when it comes to his selling. Edge was working on the back to take out the power game of The Undertaker, attempting to take out his power moves such as the Chokeslam, Last ride & Tombstone, as it would be more difficult to lift Edge up. I liked how they made Edge look strong, constantly reversing finishing manouveres by The Undertaker, with Edge becoming very, very desperate to defeat him, eventually resorting to using a camera. The crowd livened up towards the end, with lots of twists and turns, leaving the match pretty unpredictable. Man, when Edge hit that second Spear, i thought that the streat was over, and you could tell the live crowd did as well, as they were in complete stunned silence, but i liked how he managed to recorver and get him with that submission move, showing that at WM, nothing can stop him. Absolutely brilliant match, easily out-does that brilliant match between UT/Batista. I've given this a very, very high ****1/2, bordering on ****3/4. Brought a wonderful end to a wondeful WM.
