another positive topic...
IMO no other year stood out like 2009 in terms of quality TV matches, we had various *** 1/2 + matches on all TV shows, with Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Evan Bourne, John Morrison, HHH etc.
why does nobody recognize this? remember in 1993, we were lucky if we saw ONE ***+ match monthly (f.e. Shawn/Jannetty matches), in 1999 we had tons of 2-minute matches and very rarely a match going over 10 minutes...

Every year has its stand out tv matches, I wouldn't have thought this year stood out more than others.
The reason jannetty/michaels stands out so much is because of their build up. With this year's piss poor booking, it's hard to say the same thing.
That being said, Jericho/taker, Punk/Morrison and Ziggler/Morrison are all stand out matches this year.

It only stood out because of the lenght and because it was clean, but their timing was horrible all match long. IT was like there was a third invisible man throwing them around, such a bad match. |

Edge and Morrison also had an amazing match on TV this year. Who could forget the Starship Pain counter into the Spear?

Don't forget Morrison vs Rey for the IC title. That match was great. Morrison vs Bourne was also really really good.

So it isn't a year of really good TV matches. It's a year of really good John Morrison matches featuring Jericho vs Rey Mysterio.

Oh, and also I am pretty sure people have recognized that there have been a lot of good to great TV matches this year, specifically on ECW and Smackdown. So saying that nobody has recognized there being any this year is very much a stretch, actually that is just flat out untrue to be honest. Theres appreciation threads seemingly every week after ECW and Smackdown for matches on those shows.
As far as RAW goes, not many good matches on there. Most of the complaints regarding RAW are related to that, actually.

Did everyone forget about Shawn Michaels vs John Cena from January 2009? That match got ***3/4 I believe and went for 18 Minutes

What of the time of the Smackdown Six? They also actually had somewhat of a Cruiserweight division at the same time. Those were some good shows, boy howdy.

I only regularly watch Raw because of my schedule, so I'd say Kofi Kingston v. MVP from Raw was one of my favorites from that show.

These days, Morrison is that guy, maybe even better because he's not so much of a tool. He's just lower on the card since they have all those older main eventers that would've been in WCW in 1995-96. |

I mean, if Morrison was around in that era he would be headlining WM too...Vince had far less of a stacked talent roster back then. |
