2007 Raw Match Of The Year

[VRM: LET'S GO BLUESHIRTS!!]

This is an easy decision.

Granted, the Flair/HHH is the best recent match and was DEFINITELY an instant classic... there's only three things that I think give MOTY to Michaels/Cena II

1) Back and forth action. Neither Cena or Michaels had control for more than 10 minutes at a time if I remeber right. They countered each other's finishers throughout the match and kicked out of each other's finishers when they hit.

2) The length. If you can keep back and forth action going for an hour (1:00:16 according to last week's SmackDown), then end it CLEANLY, then you definitely win over some votes.

3) The ending. This is where Michaels/Cena clinches it. Cena goes for the FU, Michaels lands on his feet and promptly plants some Sweet Chin Music and falls on Cena for the 3 count. Much better than getting knucks to face.

Michaels vs. Cena

Both were extremely boring [IMHO]. I vote Flair/HHH for nostalgic reasons.

[Hiroshi Hase]

Cena/Shawn.

I thought the Flair/HHH match from 2003 was way better than this one.

[longdogga]

the only reason flair/hhh is really in this contention is that it was five days ago. were as cena micheals 2 was 8 months ago and still is in our minds. i think i have a winner

[Jimichiro Likes Erick Rowan]

Cena/HBK, but Flair/HHH was easily the best match on Raw since then.

for all those complaining about flairs moveset, have you ever watched a john cena match? their repertoires are about the same size but the difference is flair is 20 years past his prime and cena is supposedly in his prime

anyway its a true testament to hbks talent that hes carried john cena into the match of the year, kudos to him

I thought Cena did a great job in that match himself.

Cena has really stepped up his game this year.

I know how great Flair was, but he does chops and gets backdroped now. He's not a MOTY maker anymore.

Loved HBK/Cena, HHH/Flair not so much LOL
