So what's your favourite (past/present) and why; Wrestler: I'm a die hard Edge fan. He's been my favorite guy now for the past 9 years. I just always seemed to indentify with him most and his heel run of the past 3 years has been outstanding. Match: Austin vs. The Rock II - I think this was at WrestleMania 17, but I always forget that, lol. It was the meeting of the two pioneers of the Attitude era and this match had it all. Sick spots, great counters, kick outs of both finishers and best of all, the Austin/Vince alignment. Feud: Austin vs. McMahon - This feud carried over basically 4 years and we saw it all. It didn't have to be over the title or anything, they just hated each other. Lots of twists, including the formation of the Corporate Ministry, etc. Storyline: Katie Vick, ftw. Nah, I'm kidding. I really got into the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita deal because there was a sense of underlying truth to everything they did. Matt's return was one of the most shocking moments in my years of watching wrestling. The two then went on to beat the hell out of each other for the next two months. McMahon: Steph all the way. She gets the nod here because when she's heel, I hate her, when she's face, I love her. She plays both sides almost to a perfect T. Overall PPV: I don't really have one, but if I had to pick, it'd be WM20 for the two outstanding title matches alone. Title reign: HBK's last WWE Title reign. He fought so many great opponents and was entertaining throughout. |

You know HBK's last title reign was for one month in November-December 2002, right? Or I am I forgetting something here? Wrestler: Chris Benoit. I don't give a fuck if he's a murderer or whatever, because in the ring, I've always felt nobody can touch him. He rules at everything, even promos as far as I'm concerned. Match: Well, as far as WWE/mainstream goes, I'm going to have to go with Austin/Rock II as well. I often talk about my love of 90s AJPW main event booking with playing off past matches and character developments based on the match they'd wrestle, and this is the closest the WWE ever came to doing that for me. A close 2nd is Benoit/Jericho vs HHH/Austin. Feud: This hard because my all time favorite feud aren't based in the WWE. I love me a long drawn out feud, and the WWE generally speaking, isn't great at that. However, I'm really really fond of the Bret Hart vs Steve Austin feud. Neither man was wrong in their points of view, and it didn't feel like the double turn was forced at all, as both were just being who they are, and it allowed the fans to choose their choice instead of the WWE telling them who is good and who is evil. Knock Russo all you want, but at the start, that Shades of Grey thing was completely revolutionary for US wrestling. Storyline: My favorite feud is also my favorite storyline. If Jeff hadn;t fucked up, his journey from his brief team with HHH to him winning the title would have been up there for sure. McMahon: Vince, hands down. I truly believe that he's the all time greatest heel ever. He fucked with outcomes of his own title matches, handpicked champions, turned his son and daughter evil, had affairs on TV and in front of his then-comatose wife, brutally beat and choked out his daughter, beat up a cripple, retired briefly to have lots of sex, mocked a religious man because he can, mocked God, BEAT GOD, faked his own death, and then had a midget son, and hired a Texas oilman to beat up his midget son. Overall PPV: Wrestlemania 17. For the kids like me who were raised into the Attitude Era, this is like our Wrestlemania III, our Big Event. Other than that, I nominate ITH: Canadian Stampede, Summerslam 1998, No Way Out 2001, Summerslam 2001, Summerslam 2002, and Wrestlemania 19. Title reign: So many gems. Benoit's reign, Eddie's reign, Triple H's 2000 reign, HBK in 1996, Bret in 1994, Austin in 1998, Rock in 2000, Austin in 2001, JBL in 2004 and Cena's last one. Overall, my favorite is probably either Austin in 2001 or JBL in 2004 just for the beauty of watching the crowd's hate grow and grow as the title runs wore on. |

Wrestler My favorite wrestler is our current World Champion, Edge. Everything about his character entertains me and he's come a long way and being a fan of his I'm proud of that. Match there's so many matches that are good that they all can't judged so I'll go with my favorite recent match CM Punk vs. John Morrison ECW Championship on September 4th Fued favorite recent fued would be Cena/Orton tying with Hardy/MVP Storyline Vince McMahon is Dead, coulda been the best story in a while but someone had to go AWOL and it never got to the next phase. McMahon Shane O'Mac all the way, if any McMahon deserves a World Title it's him, but he doesn't want it and I understand why, but it's always good to see him back on TV. Overall PPV Royal Rumble 02, my first PPV and Triple H won along with a stellar undercard. Title reign Eddie Guerrero in 04, I got to see him in person on Easter at a house show and all of the champions danced in the middle of the ring it was a fun moment. |

I was meaning his last WWE Title reign, not the World Heavyweight Title that he won off Trips in the first Chamber. The reign I mean is when he dropped the belt to Austin before he retired. |

Wrestler: world-Bryan Danielson, WWE-tie w/ Cena and Edge, All time-Ric Flair Match: All time-KENTA vs Bryan Danielson in ROH, WWE-Rock vs Austin WMX7 Feud: All time-Mysterio vs Malenko (more like a rivalry but twas amazing), WWE-Rock vs Austin because it was long term, they fought over the IC title, at WM15, WMX7, then as the somewhat older veterans, still had something to prove to each other at WM19 Storyline: All time-nWo, that's not even hard, no storyline in history has had much impact. Without the nWo, there would be no Attitude Era, no DX, no split brands. WWE-Rock vs Austin leading up to WMX7, from their epic encounters at Armageddon and the RR when everyone else would be down and the two stars would lock eyes, the crowd would sense it, go nuts, to what was IMO the most intense staredown into a fist-fight ever on the SD before WMX7. McMahon-Vince, Shane just jumps off shit, Steph is a bad actor with a horrible voice, and Linda belongs on HGTV, Vince made mainstream american wrestling and has a timeless character. Overall PPV: WMX7, sort of a trend huh? This ppv had something for everyone and it was all great, highspots, wild brawls, technical matches, tits, sports entertainment, spectacle, promos, nostalgia, a mix of everything. All time, I don't really know, nothing beat the anticipation (or let down) of Starrcade '97 and I really liked Final Battle '06 even though it wasn't a PPV. Title reign: Austin's first, I don't really count KOTR '98 where Kane had the belt for 23 hours, because that's not a break at all, so considering what it meant and the defenses, it was pretty good. |

Wrestler- Right now I mark hard for CM Punk. I never followed ROH so when I heard he was signed by the WWE I was excited to see what all the hype was about. I can definitely say that I was not disappointed with him at all. He's really the only wrestler I'm still a mark for besides maybe Tommy Dreamer. Match- Rock vs Hogan Wrestlemania X8. The match was surreal. The beginning of the match stare down was epic. The whole match was solid. The end of the match celebration gave me chills. This match brought me back to being just a fan. Feud- Dudleys vs Hardys vs E&C I was a huge fan of the Dudley Boyz while they were in the WWE. I loved the focus on tag team wrestling during the feud especially culminating in the TLC matches. Storyline- Hardy vs Edge/Lita Still not sure how real it was, but it drew me in. McMahon- Shane I love his matches and the spots hes willing to do. Overall PPV- ECW One Night Stand The whole PPV was solid and full of nostalgia. The crowd was great and they were an authentic ECW crowd. It was the right way to ceremonially end the original ECW. Title reign-RVD's. Even tho it was cut short, it was a long time coming. |

Wrestler: Ever?, emm tough one, either HBK, Bret Hart or Triple H, i cant choose, so il just state my favourite at the minute, and its CM Punk Match: Undertaker Vs Rock Vs Kurt Angle, from Vengence 2002 or 03 i think, awesome, awesome match, or Hart Vs HBK at WM or CM Punk Vs Chris Hero Feud: Austin Vs McMahon, all kinds of epic, and close second in HBK Vs Hart Storyline: nWo from beginning to mid 1997 was bad-fucking-ass, after that it just got stale, it is one of the greatest wrestling storylines ever, propelled WCW to the next level McMahon: Shane, though i have plenty of love for Vince, Shane pulls it for being that much of a daredevil to risk his life using big spots, and i respect that. Overall PPV: Tough one, im gonna go with ECW One Night Stand or WM 17, both are excellent shows. Title reign: Triple H World Heavyweight title reign in 2003 :ninja:, lol, not reallt, but i would have to say Triple H in 2000, just awesomeness

Wrestler- My current favorite wrestler is Ken Kennedy, he's a hometown guy, I think he's got a great gimmick and charisma, he can promo fairly well and wrestles the kind of style I can get behind, its the kind that I saw when I was growing up on WWF and AWA. Match- I would have to say if its overall match action, I have to agree with the people that said Austin/Rock II, but if its a combined mat action/crowd atmosphere deal, then I go Warrior/Hogan at WM VI. Feud- Austin vs. McMahon, it had a great deal of good matches, most of them Austin overcame despite overwhelming odds. McMahon was just incredible as the heel owner, he played his role awesomely and made you want to see Austin beat him all the more. Storyline- Bret Hart feuding with his brother Owen, its the whole sibling rivalry thing jumped up a couple levels than normal, whatever Bret does, Owen has to do it to, maybe even better than Bret did it in some cases. That's why it was so important to him to have those slammy's because it made him believe he was out of Bret's shadow, and he was. McMahon- Shane, I have always like Shane's attitude and athleticism from the first time I saw him in a match, I still mark out whenever he's been on TV because he hasn't worn out his welcome like Vince has. And I mark even harder when I see him in his baseball jersey and track pants cause I know some serious sh*t's about to go down. Overall PPV- Wrestlemania 17, great action from top to bottom, the main event was one of the most spectacularly wrestled WM main events in a long time, and the undercard matches were mostly very high quality as well. Title reign- Hmmm, hard to say, I guess being that I am a Hogan mark, seeing him win the WWE world title at Judgement Day was an incredible experience, it was something I never expected even with his renewed popularity that Vince would let him hold the title once again. RVD's WWE and ECW title reigns come in a close second, I'm a big fan of his, its a shame he screwed it up, but it was fun while it lasted. |

OMG so many Edge heads here, didn't know he was very popular on this forum. Glad he is, he is the best. Wrestler Present: Edge- Been a fan of his since 98. Edge & Christian were imo the greatest tag team in the attitude era, and Edge imo is the best current heel in the wwe. He is amazing, love his promos, love his matches. + The Undertaker. Past: Bret Hart Match Royal Rumble 1992 rumble match is my fave match. I absolutely love this match. The commentary is amazing, the match is amazing, perfect booking. An hour of excellence. Feud Don't have a no 1 fave feud, but some of my faves are Austin vs Vince, Bret Hart vs Jerry Lawler, Hogan vs Flair in 91/92(but they didn't have a match on ppv), Undertaker vs Mankind, Warrior vs Macho Man + many more. Storyline The Nwo. WCW was amazing in 1996 & 1997. McMahon Vince. I also like Shane, but Vince is great. Can be a bastard sometimes but Vinnie Mac was great as a commentator, and is an amazing heel. I hate the kiss my ass club segments and the Montreal Incident, but apart from that Vince has had many great moments. McMahon/Austin feud was great. + I was a huge Austin fan but when Vince won RR99 i marked out. That was a hilarious moment, the boss wins the rumble. Overall PPV Don't have a no 1 fave but my top 4 wwe ppvs are: WrestleMania 8, SummerSlam 1991 & 92, Survivor Series 1990 & Royal Rumble 1992. They aren't some of the best ppvs ever but for me these ppvs are special. Great moments, + i was there at SummerSlam 92 i love that ppv. Title reign(in no particular order) Past: Warrior's reign - 1990- Please don't laugh, he was my fave wrestler back then. Yep i supported Warrior over Hogan. Hogan's 3rd wwe title reign. Reason why i chose this because 1991 was one of my fave years in wrestling. Loads of great moments that year, and the gravest challenge that year. Flair's 1st wwe title reign Bret's 2nd reign in 1994. Loads of great matches, a fighting champion. Austin's 2nd wwe title reign. I loved Austin/Taker feud. Rock's 5th title reign. June-Oct 2000. He had so many great matches. Hogan's 2nd world title reign in WCW.Almost a year long reign. Present: Edge- Any of Edge's reigns. yeh all of em have been short reigns but loved the way how he became the champ. |

Wrestler Jeff Hardy. I guess I am just a Jeff Hardy mark I always have been and I always will be. I like his matches, his dancing alone entertain me. Kane without the mask is a close second. He actually talk and he is funny as hell, and he is good too. Match TLC II I believe it was. The one at Survior Series. With Spike, Rhyno and LIta involved it was cool and I like it, kept me entertained and I have watched it about 20 times from start to finish. Feud From what I have read and what I have seen I like um..Jericho VS Regal. Cuz they know to wrestler and stuff and the matches they are in I love and they referenced it not too long ago. Storyline I liked the Lita, Edge/Hardy one that was very realistic and Hardy came back that all I have to say I loves the Hardy and Matt Hardy did very well and proved he could ridew with the top card. In my opinion. McMahon Shane. He is funny as hell. Overall PPV Royal Rumble. Cuz of the Royal Rumble match, those are always the shit. Survior Series comes second cuz of the 5 on 5 matches Title reign Crash Holly's Hardcore Title Reign. When he made the 24/7. Hardcore division was teh shit. |

Wrestler - The Rock - The best entertainer on the mic in WWE history. Never has anyone entertained me more then this guy. wether he was heel or face he was the best at doing it. Match - The Rock vs Stone Cold - Wrestlemania 17 - Great match ever IMO. The buildup to it was fantastic, the crowed were mixed during the buildup, they teased the match between the two in the RR and at Armageddon, the crowed ate it up, finally iy happened (i was a mark at the time) i had no idea who would win it, the match itself was fantastic, so many near falls, Austin then goes crazy and uses the chair over and over again and then joins forces with the man we thought he hated more then anyone else. Vince Mcmahon. great, great match. Feud - HHH vs The Rock (1999/2000) - These two had great matches at every PPV, both produced some of the best babyface/heel promo's in WWE history. Both men were in their prime aswell. Storyline - Mcmahon/Helmsley era, was ftw imom, this was my fav time of the attitude era, i actually preffer it over the Ausin/Mcmahon storyline, this powertrip between HHH and Steph was a classic storyline. McMahon - Shane O'mac, he's just the most entertaining, his had some great feuds aswell, i loved the one with the Big Show ''Which way did he go!?'' Overall PPV - Wrestlemania 17 - Great wrestlemania all around with the best wrestling match in WWE history imo in The Rock vs Stone cold. Title reign - HHH WWE title reign in 99/00 - This is when HHH heel turn was fresh and excting, he played the heel very well ane helped carry the WWE along with The Rock whilst Austin and Undertaker went. |

I thought TLC II happened at WM17? Anyway, I haven't been watching wrestling for very long but I've watched DVDs and things. I'll try my best on this. Wrestler: Edge- I've marked for Edge ever since I started watching WWE. Then he won MITB and I was ecstatic cause I had a feeling that it was his time at that moment. He won the title and it's only been uphill from there. Close Runner Ups: Scott Hall, Roddy Piper, HHH Match- Rock vs. Austin III at WM19- I have many reasons behind this match being my favorite. One, the entire buildup was done in like a month so it was built with little to no time but still ended up being amazing. Now if any have you have watched the Mania of Wrestlemania you'd know that the night before WM19 up until like minutes before the actual show, Austin was in the hospital. He comes back and wrestles a stellar match, taking Rock Bottoms on his neck, and it's his last match ever. There are so many subtle things in that match too, the one sticking out most in my mind is Rocky doing the kip up and fixing the SCSA vest. Just an amazing match. I also felt that Rock's promo at WM19 was one of the greatest of all times. Feud- Trish Stratus/Mickie James. Like I said, I haven't been watching wrestling for long but this feud worked so well in my eyes. It was a great heel/face feud and they played their roles perfectly. The payoff match was great as well. Storyline- McMahon's Death- This story had SO MUCH potential and was one of the most shocking things to ever take place on WWE television. Nobody saw it coming, and if it wasn't for the unfortunate timing of Benoit's death I truly believe that the angle would have been one of the greatest of all time. McMahon- Vince. Greatest heel of all time, plain and simple. He's also the boss, and you have to respect him just for being one of the greatest minds in the business. PPV- WM19. WM17 is good, no doubt in my mind about that, but I feel there are a few weak matches that bring it down. Ivory/Victoria is pointless, Regal/Jericho feels somewhat disappointing knowing fully what the two can do, Tazz/APA vs. RTC was meh, and the Gimmick Battle Royale was just pointless. WM19 however, I loved every single match, and I really felt there was no specific weak matches. That show was perfect. Title Reign- JBL's Title Reign. When you're able to put on good matches with dusty finishes and make them seem like epics due to your character, you're the goddamn man. He took what everyone thought was gonna be a throwaway run and he really ran with it. |

Wrestler - Shawn Michaels. I don't know if this is just on ringwork or on all round what he brings to the table, but pretty much either way this guy wins - Certainly all round. On the mic, heel or face, he can do it all. A guy that can lead the company, have midcard MOTN's, carry ANYONE to acceptable matches, whatever he does he does it awesome. Guy still wins for me. Match - Triple H Vs Cactus Jack, Royal Rumble 2000. This is my favourite WWE match ever - I was so sure Jack was winning knowing he was retiring soon. The whole way the match was booked was excellent, with FAST action, nearfalls, innovation.. and I love Foley in every way shape and form, which certainly increases how much I enjoy it. Feud - Trips Vs Shawn. It's build up was HUGE, and the epicness of the feud still lingers today. Trips is dastardly time and time again, for a 2 year span.. pedigree during DX reunion, but Shawn is able to forgive him due to recognising he has done worse - he knows Hunter, he knows the ego he has, he has the same ego and can accept the faults in his friend. Then Trips turns AGAIN, this time hospitilising Shawn.. that's too much, and Shawn has to return from injury to take revenge.. and win. Trips AGAIN uberheel, crippling HBK post-match. HBK returns for the Elimination Chamber.. and gets the shock win, leading to an EXCELLENT two out of three falls match at Armaggedon 2002. Scott Steiner debuting takes Trips attention while Shawn deals with Jericho, giving a 3 month break from the feud.. before Nash returns, instantly going back into the Trips HBK feud as he picks whos side he is on. HBK and Trips are on opposite sides in big tag match at Backlash PPV, before HBK faces Trips best-friend on air, Flair, at the next.. opposite sides in Elimination Chamber again in Summer, then HBK feuds with Triple H's underling Orton. After being directly related to Triple H in EVERY feud for almost a year and a half, finally Michaels gets another title shot, going to a draw.. then, on Raw, he WINS the title.. but Bischoff rules it out, calling it a draw again. Benoit wins the rumble, wants Triple H... Michaels TURNS on Benoit to get a title shot himself. Then, the Triple Threat at Mania.. awesomely booked, Trips and HBK teaming to remove Benoit from the equation so they can finish their beef with each other on the biggest stage. Benoit hulks up and comes back though, letting us not find out who the better man is. Next month, another triple threat... again, Benoit involved in finish. FINALLY, after 2 years of feud, we have Hell in a Cell.. and finally we can find who the better man is. We have - a HBK win in 2002. A HBK win in Elimination Chamber in 2002. A HHH win clean 2/3 falls in 2002. An elimination Chamber where they never got to face each other. 2 straight draws late 2003. 2 straight draws in Triple Threat matches. To Hell in a Cell. AWESOME fucking match, loads of finisher kick outs.. a true finish. To this day, with the DX shit, they are bonded together, and will be till retirement. Truly the greatest fued in wrestling history. Storyline - Jericho winning the big oneI loved the storyline behind this.. Jericho couldn't win the big one, and Rock's heelish ego started coming through as he taunted him about not being good enough. Jericho gets a fluke win thanks to an interference, but Rocky confidently challenges him to rematch on TV... and WINS. Title switches back on TV, absolutely humbling Jericho. Their hatred almost costs WWF it's existence as Jericho turns in the middle of a Survivor Series match.. that's right, no "mole" booking, just hatred. Awesome. Then Jericho is almost wrote off AGAIN as Rock and Austin look at each other, with Angle and Jericho just stepping stones.. Austin goes over Jericho clean in the build up to the PPV, but Jericho is still confident thanks to being so biased.. and WINS the tournament. Fucking awesome booking for a three month build.., great storyline behind it, great matches throughout. McMahon - Shane. Truly the only McMahon who can play face AND heel well. And the only one I enjoy watching work. I mark hard for Shane, he was one of my all time faves not so long ago, and I thoroughly enjoy literally ALL his matches. Someone link me to a bad Shane O match... I'm convinced it's never happened. Overall PPV - Mania 17. Say no more, it's simply the best for obvious reasons - no weak match on the card and one of the best matches ever in main event. Title Reign Randy Orton Intercontinental Title run, 2003-2004. It made me care about the midcard title for the first time EVER. He REALLY became a star during this, I've never been more impressed with a fast growing heel. He was REALLY good in the ring for a rookie imo, I enjoyed all his feud, and genuinely didn't know when he was gonna get beat. Throw into that some very good matches (RVD, Foley, Rock and Sock, Edge) AANDDD a great run in the Royal Rumble. AAANNNDDDD one of my favourite fueds with Foley during it... yeah, my favourite title reign of all time. JBL's was good too, but I thought it was a little predictable and generic. Orton's was completely the opposite. I HATED the end of JBL's too, whereas Orton's was perfect. |

Wrestler: Tie between Bret Hart and HHH. I loved the way Bret wrestled, technical and always with emotion. HHH for the old school style he brings, the power game with some mind games mixed in. Match: 1) Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect @ Summerslam 1991.... I can't explain how, but whenever I think about wrestling I think about this matchup. The build up of how Perfect Kurt was, how the young Bret now in the singles game was an up and comer. They met and it was a classic. Perfection vs. Excellence of Execution 2) HHH vs. Cactus Jack @ RR2k. I was a huge HHH mark, and I was sure he was going to lose this match. The Brutality and the near falls had my emotions going. Then when it was finally said and done the class the fans showed for Mick was great. 3) RVD & Sabu vs. Hayabusa & Shinzaki @ Heatwave 98. I was younger when this match came, and I loved it... I was a huge RVD/Sabu mark and I had never seen anyone take it to RVD and Sabu like these two did. I don't think I ever blinked... Just really entertaining to me Feud: Bret Hart vs. HBK. True emotion, superb matches and never predictable IMO. Storyline: The initial nWo storyline. Monumental and very well done. It was just a shame that wCw didn't know when enough was enough. McMahon: Stephanie, hottttttttttttttttt. Overall PPV: Too hard to choose one! Title reign: HHH's 2000 reign. I think it brought back the value of the belt. It created tremendous heat on HHH. I still say it was the best thing to do. |

Keep in mind, I started watching WWE around September of 2004. So a lot of my picks probably suck. Chris Benoit I've always had three guys that I love- Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, and Chris Benoit. If I had to pick just one, I'd have to go with Benoit by a sliver of a sliver. All three were incredibly, but when Benoit wrestled it was always a great match. He drew me in every single time he wrestled, whether it was against Kurt Angle or Orlando Jordan. 2005 Elimination Chamber (Triple H vs Randy Orton vs Batista vs Chris Benoit vs Edge vs Chris Jericho) Every man deserved to be in the match and every one had a strong case to win. Benoit and Edge had bad blood. Orton and Hunter had bad blood. Orton and Batista had bad blood. Shawn Michaels (the special guest ref) had bad blood with all of them. Benoit and Jericho brought their magic. Edge played the "I GOT SCREWED~!" character perfectly. Randy Orton was the hero's hero. And the Batista/Triple H staredown was epic. Just a perfect match in my view. Randy Orton and Undertaker Feud It's probably not a very popular choice, but I loved it from start to finish. I thought it began brilliantly and I legitimately though Orton was going to beat the Undertaker. For every ounce of me that thought Batista would do it, I thought Orton would do it three times. From there they would always find their paths cross. 'Taker's return after Orton won the Survivor Series match was great. Their Hell in a Cell is my favorite I've ever seen since I've started watching wrestling. Evolution vs Raw Seeing everybody from Tajiri to Chris Jericho team upto take out Evolution was awesome. Everybody was sick of them running Raw so they all finally decided to take them out. Specifically I remember half the roster trying to help Maven beat Triple H for the world title. Hornswaggle McMahon Deal with it. WrestleMania 21 It was my first WrestleMania, which probably has a lot to do with this choice. The Eddie/Rey, HBK/Angle, and Orton/Undertaker are three of my favorite WWE matches to this day.It obviously wasn't flawless, with Big Show in a thong and Christy Hemme wrestling, but it was still awesome. Randy Orton's WWE Championship reign (2007-present) I like that he's gone through so many opponents and not just had one or two contenders. If he wins at WrestleMania it will solidify my opinion. |

I remember the Evolution vs Benoit/HBK/Edge/Jericho/Shelton/TAEYE-JEEREE/Regal stuff making Raw the best wrestling show on TV from like Jan-December 2004. Shit was fucking epic, especially that 30+ minute Benoit/Jericho/Edge vs Batista/Flair/Orton Elimination Tag. |

Wrestler HHH. Anyone who knows me well will know I mark hard for HHH every time. Match TLC II @ WM17. That match was the shit. Feud Austin/HHH. The feud they had before they had the 2 man power trip era was just so captivating to me Storyline McMahon Helmsley era. I loved it. Started watching wrestling just as this started, and I loved the whole thing. McMahon Steph. As a heel, she can make me hate her so much, and as a face, I can sympathise with her. People whinge about her, but at the end of the day, if you dislike her on screen while she's supposed to be a heel, then she's obviously doing her job right. Overall PPV It's a toss up between WM17 and WM19. Both had fantastic match ups, and I own both of them on DVD just because I enjoyed both shows so much. Title reign Tough one. I enjoyed Jericho's run as undisputed champ, but I also enjoyed HHH's run around the 2000/2001 time. |

You forgot Euguene =/ But yes, if there was voting for Best Stable I go against the popular Four Horseman and DX (despite loving DX) and go with Evolution.. they played it SO perfect. My only one criticism of the Evolution storyline was how much more they could and should have used Edge. Maybe I'm the only one that remembers this, but he cuts this AWESOME promo where he says HE is the man that will end Evolution, starting with Ric Flair, who he was feuding with. He beats him on a Raw. THEN they drop the storyline, despite him beating Orton at Vengeance for the IC belt. Fuck sake people, he WAS over at this time.. book him from his Raw return as this "single man conquest against Evolution" - instead of him teaming with Benoit for no reason while Benoit was champ, give us a singles match with him Vs Naitch at Bad Blood (Flair wasn't booked or anything). Edge goes over. THEN he takes the strap off Orton at Vengeance, as booked. Summerslam, Jericho Batista triple threat, he gets a clean fall over Batista. This frees Edge for a good title defence against Dave. To Unforgiven.. Edge starts a Raw feud with Triple H, saying he is the only one left.. Trips ignores him, going after Orton, leaving Edge to defend the strap against.. I dunno, Benoit? THAT would be great timing. He goes into the Elimination Chamber with Triple H with serious beef, Batista and Orton the confidence that he has the edge over them, Benoit with the recent fued, Jericho the triple threat win.. he suddenly has HUGE momentum, almost enough to give him a clean win and an early title reign. He is a SERIOUS star a year earlier than he was with this booking, imo. |
