    2.Favourite wrestler: ( at the moment) Matt Hardy
    3.Least favoured promotion(out of the main ones): Total Non Stop Absurdity

  • Registered Users Posts: 210 ✭✭AirDemon


    1.Favourite Promotion: WWE
    2.Favourite wrestler: Of all time Shawn Michaels followed closely by Ric Flair and Chris Jericho, right now would be Edge (Injured I know).
    3.Least favoured promotion(out of the main ones): TNA, can be great, hate the fact they take shots at WWE, just be good for being TNA like, not for shooting on the opposition and sometimes the commentators wreck my head.
    4.Most overated match: Anything with Joe in it, sure he has some great matches like Angle vs. Joe was good.... but goddamn it whenever he's in a match theres always some fool going around talking about an instant classic.
    5.Favourite move: Stunner, when Austin hit a Stunner out of nowhere and I don't mean he tried a stunner it was blocked, his opponent tried a finisher it was blocked and then they run to the ropes, charge back at each other, Austin ducks under the closeline, the guy spins around and STUNNER!! STUNNER!!! STUNNER!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm marked out for that too but I mean when it was truly out of nowhere I'd be jumping around all over the place going... STUNNER!!! STUNNER!!! STUNNER!!!
    6.Least favoured move: Old School, it was good back in the day, but now it's just a party piece, every single match he does it and like seriously, does he really look like the old Undertaker anymore? No, so until he dons the true Undertaker look and not a cross between the walking dead and the biker mice from mars I don't want to see him doing the Deadman gimmick so leave everything about it in the past.
    7.Most Hated wrestler: Khali.
    8.Favourite match: Austin vs. Dude Love @ Over the Edge
    9.Favourite Booker: Heyman
    10.Favourite Gimmick: Deadman.... If you've read the rest of my post you'll understand what I'm talking about.
    11.Favourite Match type: Ladder matches. This means I want to see Ladder matches rarely, when there is a point to them and not just for the craic when the WWE decides, this PPV is going to SUCK!!!!

    1.Favourite Promotion: ROH
    2.Favourite wrestler: Ever - Michaels. Now - Danielson
    3.Least favoured promotion(out of the main ones): TNA & WWE atm
    4.Most overrated match: Cena Michaels from WrestleMania. Not even nearly a patch on their London match after.
    5.Favourite move: Damn you Fozzy, I was thinking that! I'll go with the Briscoe's springboard Domesday Device instead.
    6.Least favoured move: The Back stabber. It's a setup for a finisher and no more.
    7.Most Hated wrestler: Hacksaw Jim Duggan :D
    8.Favourite match: Angle Michaels WM 21
    9.Favourite Booker: Gabe Sapolsky (Currently the only one in the US doing his job right)
    10.Favourite Gimmick: Y2J, Austin, CM Punks better than you gimmick, Jimmy Jacobs, and I quite like Morrison's new one.

    1.Favourite Promotion: WWE
    2.Favourite wrestler: Kurt Angle
    3.Least favoured promotion(out of the main ones): WWE (yes i like them and they p*ss me off in equal amounts :D )
    4.Most overated match: Benoit v Triple H v Shawn Michaels at WM20. I hated this pay-per-view. I spent $400 to watch one of the worst booked WWE wrestlemanias in history. By the time the main event came on I was dead tired after sitting through 5 hours of mind numbingly boring hall of fame speeches the night before (Bobby Heenan being the exception). On the plus side I was covered in confetti when benoit won the title :)
    5.Favourite move: muscle buster
    6.Least favoured move: Hogan's Legdrop of Doom
    7.Most Hated wrestler: Dave Batista (a complete d**k in real life too)
    8.Favourite match: Shawn Michaels comeback v Triple H at Summerslam 2002. Watching that from ringside was an amazing sight.
    9.Favourite Booker:Heyman
    10.Favourite Gimmick:The Rock as a heel
    11.Favourite Match type: Money in the bank ladder match (so far so good)

    Uh it's a Spear, plain old spear, same one Goldberg used, same one Edge still uses. Nothing more, nothing less, you can call it a Gore all you want, but it's still a spear!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭Fozzy


    Co-sign on two counts. HBK VS Bret Hart and Russo, I actually like him

    How can you both say you like Russo but that TNA is your least favoured promotion?! Even if Russo isn't in complete control at TNA, the booking often smacks of him anyway

    And my favourite tag team would be Ricky Marvin and Kotaro Suzuki right now. The more I see Marvin, the more I think he could be giving Danielson a run for his money as the best wrestler around. I'll have to do a thread on him some day

    5.Favourite move: Sweet Chin Music with Stunner as a close 2nd.
    6.Least favoured move: The fúckin WORM
    7.Most Hated wrestler: Lashley
    8.Favourite match: HHH vs HBK vs Benoit at WMXX
    9.Favourite Booker: Heyman I guess
    10.Favourite Gimmick: Cactus Jack or DX
    11.Favourite Match type: Ladder if done right.

    I'm pretty sure that a spear is just a rugby tackle while The Gore is a shoulder to the gut. Also Rhyno's deliverance is class and I didn't have the balls to say the Mizzard of ozz

    Gillie; three or four people have had the same opinion on the WM20 main event as the previous poster if you look back.

    1.That match is continually touted as being one of the top three wrestlemania matches of all time (when imo it was nowhere near). Bret v shawn iron-man is another match i just don't get. Flair was doing better hour long matches 15 years before Shawn and Bret decided to stay motionless for over 30 minutes of the 63 minutes
    2.I was there at the WM20 main event, i was sitting just above ringside in the middle of MSG for that match and it was nothing special, a decent, run-of-the-middle triple threat match as far as I am concerned. I have watched this match a number of times on dvd since and I do not understand why so many people rate it so highly (benoit winning the title and he and eddie embracing at the end has a lot to do with the legend i suppose)
    3.Loads of people around me left in the middle this match, i have never seen this happening before at a major WWE pay-per-view and I have been to two other WM, 2 summerslams and a royal rumble.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    As you said yourself Fozzy, Russo has minimal power in TNA. He is not to blame for their rapid demise. Obviously he has had an influence, but in my opinion TNA was going to go this direction anyway. They didn't have the courage to continue their good wrestling product, and feel into the trap of imitating the WWE.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    That's fair enough! I'll take your word for it.
    Still one of the best as far as I concerned though.

    I felt that the three men "clicked" that night and pulled off a great physical match!

    The Benoit factor didn't come into it for me tbh! I didn't care who won by the end of it.

    As for the Ironman match. I'd probably agree with you there.
    Remember seeing it at the time and totally marked out for Shawn. Watched it again recently and was kinda meh about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    1.Favourite Promotion: WWE just...... it's going really crap again of late
    2.Favourite wrestler: Kurt Angle
    3.Least favoured promotion(out of the main ones): TNA... pure rubbish in the past while
    4.Most overated match: Cena vs HBK Wrestlemania 23. Maybe because it is fresh in the mind but i thought it was muck for a main event for WM and people were praising it!
    5.Favourite move: Stuuuuunnnner!
    6.Least favoured move: FU.... any of Cena's ''moves'' but the FU is so bland.
    7.Most Hated wrestler: Lashley...... zzzzzzzzz personality zzzzzz wrestling ability.
    8.Favourite match: Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels Ladder match Wrestlemana X - loved that one.
    9.Favourite Booker: Paul Heyman.... nobody comes close.
    10.Favourite Gimmick: Undertaker...... doesn't get old.
    11.Favourite Match type: Ladder Match!

    Up until 8 weeks ago I would have put the wrestlemania 20 main event at the top as my favourite match. I don't see myself watching it again but maybe someday.

    But before everything happened, it was all about the story and the emotion of it for me and I don't think thats a bad thing or anything for a match. Its what wrestling at its best should be in my opinion.

    There have probably been alot more crisper, higher paced matches (which is not to say its not very, very good) etc... but the story transcended all of that.

    Same here. I used to adore that match but I've not watched it since the Benoit incident and don't know if I ever will.

    As a match I'm astonished some people can call it overrated as technically speaking it's flawless and never drags. There are moments of high drama such as Michael's freak facial injury, Benoit going through the table and the ending which I once considered the perfect finale to a match ever. Obviously it's hard to say that now in light of recent events.

    I regard Angle vs HBK at WM21 as very overrated. It was a fine match but not as good as people claim. Both have had better matches at Mania. The feud was extremely well worked which is why I think the match was so highly praised.

    I never liked it, seeing HHH tap out to the crossface is a good moment. The Benoit thing hasn't tarnished my respect for his ring work, the man outside of that, thats a whole other story. Some people can differenciate the two, some can't, best to leave that at that.

    As for not liking the match, i've always had the old school mentality that a Wrestlemania main event should be 1 v 1, not a tag match, not a triple threat and certainly not a fatal fourway like that abortion of a Mania main event in 2000! I just think it would have been better with Michaels v Benoit, or HHH v Benoit.

    And if that wasn't bad enough, they repeated the match the following PPV!

    I agree 100% with VR on this point. WM main event should be 1 v 1.

    Just because Benoit did what he did doesn't alter my view of this match. I wasn't that impressed watching it live on March 14 2004 and I am still not impressed today.

    Overall the whole mania sucked anyway, two fatal four way tag matches, an awful cruiserweight open, the bore-fest that was Lesnar and Goldberg (at least the guy dressed us as Hogan running up and down the top tier of MSG kept the fans interested during that match :rolleyes:), playboy match :mad:, Kane and undertaker was probably the biggest letdown of all. I expected Benoit, Michaels and Trips to bring the house down after the 4 hours of torture I had gone through, but alas they failed to deliver :(
