Is this really what this forum is going to be now? Come back tomorrow when I give my in depth perspective on if Ethan Page or Hangman Page are really gonna be as good as Diamond Dallas Page

That's quite the opinion you have there. Upon internal review, my opinion is vastly different from yours.
Such is life.
However, in the world of common ground, I, too, hope for more Sting in AEW.

. . . they had a 15 minute match. It was botched That... doesn't nullify a match or a result man, that's not how wrestling works?

The match with Seth Rollins was definitely a match. Not really It was literally his last match in WWE. Like, that’s the one he actually went out on. I’m not even saying you can’t make the comparison but it’s not even an accurate one. Even the tag match with Show and Kane where he teamed with Cena would have been a better one to use.

Yeah, what this really needed was more kettle drums, history-defying Hogan appearances and DX cameos. Very nicely put, IMHO.

Is this really what this forum is going to be now? It’s all subjective, but I think Sting/HHH might be one of the 10 worst Wrestlemania matches ever. This one was a clever use of a 61-year-old Sting, had some fun spots, and wasn’t a 20 minute ego stroke. Guess we agree to disagree. Eh, people are heated up. It happens, and it cat at least spark discussion if people are operating in good faith, whether they liked the show or not. Compare it to when Matt and Sammy wrestled and how heated people got. It cooled off and things returned to normal.

Even with commentary hindering the visual scope of the match, I’d say that’s arguable but not by much. And that says more about the HHH match I think.

I mean if we comparing this to other cinematic matches, it was better than Edwards/Calihan but it was middle of the road
Commentary ruined it for me and the pacing was slow but Darby came out looking like an MVP

Yeah ok. At least taker sold being old with AJ. He was weezing and stuff like he was dying.

Some careers could lasted longer Mick Foley is someone that would made a killing with these matches. He's not afraid to be a stunt man but you could put bells and whistles so the falls wouldn't be on actual concrete

Well there goes Sabu's entire career down the drain then. [br It was a career ending botch A career ending “botch” (not even really a botch, more like a predictable consequence of a dude in his late fifties having a physical match like that) that totally happened in a match. What are you even arguing at this point? The Rollins match was a wrestling match that occurred.

Yeah ok. At least taker sold being old with AJ. He was weezing and stuff like he was dying. You’re right. The HHH match is superior because of that fact By the way he was manhandling Ricky. The guy 6 inches shorter than him and 60 pounds lighter
