Guest Monday Night Jericho Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 I think that the recent Misawa/Kobashi match was overrated. I would say that it is the best match of the year so far but it didn't live up to the hype imo and their previous outings were easily superior.
EL DANDY~! Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 Most overrated? I saw 6.8.01 and was impressed on the first showing...but more showings showed me that it was merely a very good match as opposed to an outstanding match...
Guest Dangerous A Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I concur with 6/8/01. It was pimped to death and voted WON match of the year. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't hand out MOTY awards to matches that are barely ***'s.
Guest Black Tiger Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 I have to agree about 6/8/01. The first time I saw it I was very impressed, now two years later it's nowhere near as good. I don't know if the novelty of Mutoh's (at the time) new moveset has worn off on us or if it's something else. The one aspect of that match that has held up for me anyways, is the psychology surounding Mutoh's use of the moonsault to finish off Tenryu. Since that match, I've seen several matches use that same type of story telling psychology, and that was one of the reasons why I gave the 1/26/03 IWGP Jr Tag Title match the ***** rating
Guest Shuriken Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 There were a batch of super over-rated matches in 2002. Kawada/Mutoh from February was terrible, Kojima/Tenryu from July sucked, and so did the 60 minutes Nagata/Chono match.
Guest Rhysabusa Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Kobashi/Misawa was nothing on AKIRA/Kanemoto from the same match as far as I'm concerned.
Guest The Rising Star Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Liger and Minoru Tanaka from the BOSJ final 2001 was shit. The only good move I saw was a Flying Cross Armbreaker.
Guest Shuriken Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Actually, no, that match wasn't shit. It wasn't **** but it wasn't shit. Try looking past moves.
Guest Indikator Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I really dislike the Kawada vs. Tenryu match from late 2000
