1992 Royal Rumble Match (from the Bobby Heenan DVD)
*****
As good as I remember it. A bit shorter than I remember though... Incredible story... It should've led to a heel Hogan... Missed oppertunity with that.

CM Punk's "final shot" at Samoa Joe and the ROH Title.
Just a great match. I had no idea the rivalry was this good. Really held my interest and took me back to why I enjoyed wrestling in the first place.

Since this thread is still around and I am still wowed at them, I'll mention the CM Punk/John Cena match and the Morrison/Bryan match on Raw last week. Despite the heat killings at the end of both, the matches themselves were wonderful. I'd give Morrison/Bryan 4 stars and Cena/Punk 3

Pat Patterson vs Sgt. Slaughter Ally Fight/No Referee Match MSG 05/04/81-
A sick brawl that gave me a lot of respect for Patterson as a worker. I had never really seen him in action and this one had some great heat. Slaughter takes a massive header that I think was legit or if it was worked than it was a gory blade job and then the attention after the match made it look even more real. ***1/2

FIST vs the Throwbacks & Matt Classic . Chikara King Of Trios 2010 Night 1..... 5/5 Stars
Comedy Gold, I loved Matt Classic, i hope to see more of him and not drift away into obscurity. Loved the whole match, from the Tip-Off, to R Kelly making an apperecne, to Classic's Hindu squats. Only dissapointed thing about the match was that FIST won, which means no more Matt classic for nights 2 & 3.

Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio.
I'm dumbfounded at why the Smackdown books it's faces like heels.

Big Sky vs Charlie Norris from Fall Brawl '93. 1/2 *. Terrible match that shouldn't have been on Saturday Night let alone 2nd match on a PPV. I don't remember Charlie Norris but i gather he was WCWs attempt to capitalize on the heat Tatanka gained...or mock him. I'm not sure.

I'm watching all of the old Rumbles to gear up for this years. I just watched 92's. Five stars all the way.

Undertaker - Big Show & A-Train from Wrestlemania XIX It started funny with a backstage scene of Nunzio, A-Train and Big Show leaving the shower, Nathan Jones was laying there out cold. There's a "he dropped the soap" joke in there. Then it goes horrible with Shit Bizkit showing the world they have no talent, playing the entrance theme for the worst incarnation of the Undertaker. And the match was abysmal, a clusterf*** so to say, especially the "MMA stuff" Undertaker tried was laughable, the armbar looked so stupid. The ending was also stupid: Big Show chokeslamming Undertaker, but then not pinning him because Nathan waddles to the ring...slowly. Undertaker won, giving me more Shit Bizkit crap.  I rate it -* Thankfully after the first 3 crap matches, WM XIX gets a lot better up to "awesome" so soon i will see good wrestling ;D |

Mr. Perfect V. Paul Roma
3\4*
Curt is out to the theme from Exodus (An amazing Paul Newman movie) which he used until picking up the revised version we remember. neat little slam-kip up sequence to start. Roma gets in some offense a'la typical Perfect squash.

Jushin Thunder Liger vs El Generico from Kurt Russlemania. ***. Really a solid match but it felt a little rushed. Another 5-7 minutes + a bit more build would have done a lot of good.

Worlds Greatest Tag Team vs. Kings of Wrestling - ROH Glory By Honor IX
****1/2
Loved this match the entire way through. I don't remember the last time I honestly started marking out before a match starts on DVD also. Awesome spots and some great mark-out moments for me...maybe a few minutes longer and it would have been perfect.

Triple Threat Match: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels- Taboo Tuesday 2005.
****
Not a bad match, especially when 2/3 of the wrestlers are great workers. It was a great match in my opinion, though I thought that the match was overshadowed by the cage match from that same event.

Glamour GIrls v Jumping Bomb Angels MSG 11/27/87
***
Really good match, especially when the Angels were on offense, the crowd was really into this match and it had the best heat out of any match on the card save for the Main Event (Savage v HTM for the IC title)

Adrian Adonis Vs Dynamite Kid -Portland wrestling late 70's early 80's
This is on one of the comps I bought off someone a few years ago.Great match that proves to me at least that Adonis should be considered Kid's equal if not better at in ring work.
