WM 26 has one great match IMO (Taker vs. Shawn II). That is counteracted by one straight up atrocious match. The rest features a lot of decent to good stuff (Edge vs. Jericho, Batista vs. Cena, HHH vs. Sheamus) but also some lesser stuff (weakest MITB IMO, Punk vs. Rey got cut short). Still a good to very good show overall but I couldn't put a WM that had the worst WM match of all time in my top 25%.

Will be interested to hear some different opinions to the list we built here. I do think it is a very unconventional list in a lot of ways but kind of felt "right" by the time we hashed out everything.

This was one of my favorite matches by Onita just based on the gravity everything was played up. The staredown was epic and the first count felt as dramatic as the last and I don't mean that as a knock. This was an emotional fifteen minute ride with Onita receiving a ton of punishment and firing back like only he can. Really super stuff.

This had a lot going on and was a sprint brawl for the 15 minutes it lasted. Sullivan played to his strengths of being a wandering brawler with some neat tendencies like the hammer bit. Woman taking the spinning toe hold did feel like a redemption spot. Funk was in rare form flipping the bird and cussing up a storm. Im not sure if the match was good but it was entertaining.

I was really impressed with this match. hughes works it so well that I really felt they could have built up to a cool triple main event at Havoc with Windham/Hughes, Cactus/Sting, and Simmons/Luger and it would have worked. The dropkick and figure four was especially impressive. Barry has really had a solid 1991 with the Pillman feud and now this. Heated match with juice coming out.

Dutch again is waiting on Hansen and I agree its still humorous but starting to run out of steam. Billy Joe continues to win my heart over with his singing getting malicious boos and him just slamming the guitar over the jobbers head. The Embry/Dutch interaction is great especially with Dave Brown interjecting in his facts and adding fuel to the fire. This predictably simmers over with Tojo attacking Dutch with the flag. Eddie Marlin comes out to call for order and we get some more sprawling brawls with most of the USWA roster. The attack on Marlin is really good and he looks shaken up at the end. I love Eddie Marlin and am glad that USWA is on an upswing.
