Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I said it in the Lockdown thread, but Angle-Joe V was their best match out of the 5, and one of Angle's best performances in his wrestling career.
Joe won the title, got the glory and the fame, and he worked just as hard, but Angle was the force driving this match. He played his role perfectly, and executed everything greatly.

I would think Angle would have perfected the Belly to Belly and Ankle lock by now seeing as they are the only moves he knows how to do anymore. 
Actually i'm kinda interested in this match, I'll need to download it later.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I laughed @ the fake MMA in the first half of the Joe/Angle match. It was pretty embarrassing. The match got awesome once they started wrestling though.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Yeah I agree that Angle really came off as awesome, especially to the live crowd. A truly professional performance by both men TBH.
I didn't think the MMA stuff was "embarrasing" at all, but the action definitely picked up in the 2nd half of the match.

Angle/Joe ****(Barely)
Lethal Lockdown ****
While they were two different matches, they were both good in their own ways.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Lethal Lockdown - ****
I hate - HATE - these types of matches...Cage and A.J. put on a very good show in the first 5 mins, but because you know nothing is gonna happen that early it's meaningless. Good for what it was, but not really my cup of tea.
Angle vs. Joe - ****1/4
I really liked it tbh. Crowd was chanting "boring" and "we want wrestling" at points, but what do they know?
Liked the slow build, but i think it could really benefit by a slightly longer finish stretch, but i hear Angle got hurt, so maybe they rushed it...still really good

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
To be honest, I absolutely loved Joe/Angle V and am thinking about giving it the full five stars. It's definitely not for everyone, though. Even though the 'MMA stuff' may seem stupid to some people, including me at times, they made it work and it made sense in the match due to how it was built up and hyped. Plus, it wasn't all for naught, EVERYTHING in the match was there for a reason and added to the story, which I felt was amazing. Oh, and it made sense! Yes folks, in TNA, a match made sense. It just built so well and was so great. Right now, I'm putting it at about ****1/2 or ****3/4....but I'm tempted to give it the full five. LOVED this match.

Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
I fail to see what's great about Joe/Angle. The highest I'll give it is ***3/4 but at the moment, I have it at ***1/2.
