Not only Match of the Decade, but I agree with Shawn, Bret, Angle, etc.. and say it's the greatest match I've ever seen. It's one of the few matches that looks completely real from start to finish. Shawn and Bret actually wrestled it like it was a 60 minute match and paced themselves to wrestle an hour, unlike HHH and Rock who just wrestled an ordinary 20-30 minute match, threw in 20 minutes of brawling and added 5 minute long sleeper holds.

He didn't because there was no Jesus or God. I thought we settled that in the 19 page bible thread.

Well then you have bad taste. That sounds bad, but it doesn't matter what you think about them. They're great games. When all websites and magazines rate RE4 a 9.6 and better, and just about everyone that plays it calls it one of the best games in years, it really doesn't matter if you like it or not. Here's an example. Mario 3, or Zelda: A link to the Past. If I don't like them, who cares, what's important is EVERYONE (or 99.99%) likes them. That's what tells you they're great. Do you think you can't say the SNES is a far better system than the Atari Jaguar? You can easily say SNES was far better, just like you can say Playstation 1 was far and away the system of its era, and now it's Cube. Just curious, how much of those 4 games did you play? I can't imagine anyone not liking RE4 or F-Zero GX or 4 player monkey ball. I can't believe it's possible.

We don't, because they didn't show the best ones. If they're doing a ECW Greatest Matches DVD, the RVD vs Sabu draw from Hardcore TV that took up the whole show needs to be on there. So does Jerry Lynn/RVD from TNN, the one where Jerry has taped up ribs. Definitely needs one Tajiri/Super Crazy match.

It is funny how Gamecube is far and away the best system, yet has the worst sales. Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, F-Zero GX, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Super Monkey Ball 1, Super Monkey Ball 2, RE 0, RE Remake, Mairo Kart.. Nothing on PS2 can compete with that except for FFX and maybe GTA:SA. And I wouldn't buy PSP if it was $50. Why buy a system so you can play worse games at the same price on a smaller screen?

If Shawn was good at selling a match maybe he wouldn't have been one of the worst drawing Champions of all time. He didn't do so bad as a heel, did he?

His promo when he turned heel after Summerslam97 was better than anything HHH's ever done. So were most of his promos in DX.

Janetty said they were fine tuning their matches for weeks and had it down so perfect, the house show match they had on the night before the Rumble was the best match he had ever had. He called it the greatest experience in his career. Then at the Rumble, WWF decided that day to put Sherri in the match and according to Marty, it threw the entire rhythm of the match off. They had to set up new spots and it wasn't what they had been doing. After the match, Vince told them he was very disappointed and it wasn't even close to what he expected. Marty said he was surprised, he thought it was so-so, not as good as they were doing, but not that bad. Then he ended up getting released over it because Shawn told that Vince Marty was drunk. Heh, I don't know how they managed to patch up all that bad blood.

Adding to that, Batista seems like a nice guy in real life while Orton seems like a giant douche bag. I wouldn't have a problem with Batista winning, I don't want him to but I'd be okay with it. He's also got better mic skills than Orton and he's more over than Orton could ever dream of being. At least he's no worse than Orton, Brock, or Goldberg.

Amen. And if no superstar like that comes along, as sad as that would be, then he should retire with the streak unbroken. But who gives a fuck? Like Nash, Orton sucks and will never be an Austin, a Rock, or a HHH. Not to repeat what 100 other people in this thread said, but it would be a waste.

Regal is very boring and I don't think has had one good match since coming into the WWE. Helms isn't that good. Val Venis is average, I've never seen him have a match as good as Angle/Jannetty, much less the best Rockers matches or Marty's matches with Shawn. And I'm going off on Jannetty because I remember how great he used to be and 10 years after the last time I've seen him, it looks like he hasn't lost a step.

Fuck yes. And thank god he's on RAW so I don't have to sit through Smackdown every week. Well since Jannetty is much better than them, it makes perfect sense to me that they have to job to him now. I'm hoping a friendship with Shawn can keep him on Raw and get him a better run than Mr Perfect had.

Because he's the greatest wrestler of all time. Haven't you been paying attention? Edit: Good a time to ask as any. Does anybody still have that pic of Flair bowing to Orton? I loved that pic and need a new background.

Definitely Song of Ice and Fire. I've never met a single person that read it and didn't love it. The first book is Game of Thrones. Here's some posts from a different board to make you want to read it.

Awesome post. I wish I would've typed that.

He doesn't do a rockers style kip-up every night though. He isn't used to going down and popping right back up. At least they botched it together. And who the hell says "eh" to a Rockers reunion? Eh... a Rockers match, you know we just had one of those about 13 YEARS AGO.

Sorry, but comparing Marty Jannetty to true legends like Ric Flair and Terry Funk is a bit of a reach. Name recognition alone would leave MJ in the dust. People like/tolerate Flair because of what he brings to the table in terms of longevity, notoriety, legendary status, etc. Jannetty, unfortunately, will always be known as the guy who wasn't HBK. I agree. Seriously, people on these forums are usually pretty on the ball, but nostalgia seems to be blinding their judgment today. It was fine for one-off thing on RAW; anything further than that would be stretching it. Give it a couple of weeks and the excitement about seeing a childhood wrestler would fizzle out. Same thing happened with Hennig after RR 02. However, I'm not opposed to a brief Rockers tag title reign, ending with them putting over a new team (NOT La Resistance's 38th reign). It was more of WWE not using him right and making a joke out of him than it was nostalgia wearing off. All they had to was show the old Mr Perfect videos to get people to know him and maybe make some new ones. That's all. A winning streak wouldn't have hurt either. Instead they have Kane and Austin squash him and show skits of him cheating to win at chess games. After a couple weeks of that, he looked like he didn't care anymore. On the other side, look at what happened to Goldust after RR02. He turned into one of the most entertaining and over guys in the company. That is until they destroyed his character with the tourettes gimmick.

Yes he was. I think you're the only one on the entire internet not impressed, Mole. And Marty needs to keep his full outfit as long as he's around. Anything that separates him from other wrestlers, even the tassles, is a good thing. I'm tired of everyone looking the same. I wonder if Marty busted out his top rope power bomb from 1995. I guess not, heh.

Salem's Lot by King. I'm taking a break from DT5 to find out what's the deal about Father Callahan. I'm glad I did it because it's a good book, although I'm 400 pages into it and Callahan has barely been mentioned.

I hope so. This could actually get me to start watching every week again.

Why isn't the bible thread in the classics folder?

Rob will never draw. If he ever had to wrestle a match that is over 8 minutes, the fans would sit on their hands. All he can do is gimmick matches, and every ECW match is a gimmick match. He very much like Christian in that way. And thats also why Christian would never draw. This is as almost as dumb as HHH's comments on the last page. Get the DVD and watch KOTR 2002 with Jericho and look at the fans sitting on their hands 15 minutes into the match. Oh wait, they're not, they're screaming RVD! Most ECW matches after they started having PPVs weren't gimmick matches, unless you call one dive into the crowd or hitting someone in the head with a chair a gimmick match. Have you ever seen ECW?
