I love Owen and Davey but they had only one great match and maybe 2-3 good ones. Easy vote for the Midnight Express.

No offense but this is the same crap the dummies on the Oratory board were saying to prove the Blondes were a lesser team than Hall and Nash. I don't love The Hollywood Blondes because Austin became Stone Cold and Pillman became the Loose Cannon, I love them because Stunning Steve and Flyin' Brian made a great tag team. I don't love them for just one skit, I love them for all their matches with Steamboat and Douglas and even teams like Bagwell and Scorpio. I'm voting for The Fantastics for longevity.

Bulldogs.

Match #13 - Hart Foundation Match #14 - Fabulous Freebirds (Hayes/Gordy/Roberts) Match #15 - Heavenly Bodies Match #16 - Brainbusters

And he's not just talking, I saw him actually do it in a match with Undertaker in 1992. WHere did Bret say this at? I'd like to hear or read that interview. It was on the Wrestling Observer Live radio show. Here's a link to a transcript of the interview: http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/...ve+radio+report

Match #9 - Edge & Rey Misterio Jr Match #10 - Shawn Michaels & Diesel Match #11 - Smoking Gunns Match #12 - Strike Force

People are really going overboard with the praise for the Flair-Angle match. I mean, it was fun, but let's not go nuts. Flair looked like he was about to collapse and die after five minutes.

Come on Loss, don't you know they had IMPACT~! ? ;-)

Match #5 - Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko Match #6 - Demolition I'm no fan of either, but at least Demolition got carried to some good matches by the Harts and the Rockers. Match #7 - Doom Match #8 - Dream Team (Valentine/Beefcake)

Match #1 - Jung Dragons Match #2 - Los Guerreros Tough choice here. I went with Los Guerreros because I think they've become underrated. For some reason Hass & Benjamin from the same era get far more attention, despite being the lesser team. Match #3 - Booker T & Goldust Every time I've seen a Nastys match, I've been disappointed. I thought their "great" brawls with Cactus Jack were decidedly mediocre. Match #4 - Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho Easy pick based on talent, even if I think they haven't done enough to be in the tournament.

What's your reasoning? 900,000+ buys maybe.

heh... read this thread yet? "His moveset is awesome."

I'm in.

Are you joking? People have ripped on Scott Keith's reviews for years and it never stopped him. There's a reason he wants to stop reviewing Raw, and it sure as hell isn't "Tim Cooke and his friends embarrassed me."

It has the First Blood match from Fully Loaded 1999.

This is a remarkably ignorant statement. Angle had a good match with John Cena at No Mercy 2003 and it was a complete and total carry job. Easily the best Cena match I've ever seen. Hell, it was such a good carry job he had people fooled into thinking Cena "improved" his work. And Kurt Angle is underrated on the "smart" message boards. We have countless raving bandwagon jumpers running around, acting as if Angle is completely worthless and doesn't have a clue how to work a decent match. It's absurd. Of course DaveMeltzer overrates Angle. But, just like the "Flair is overrated" and "Michaels is overrated" anti-Meltz arguments, the pendulum has clearly swung too far in the other direction.

You'd judge a wrestler based on a TWO MINUTE GARBAGE MATCH? Benoit was outstanding in 2004, having good matches almost every week during his title reign. I rate his 2004 over anyone not named Kenta Kobashi. Benoit cooled off after that due to poor booking. Fewer opportunities to have quality matches. WWE is the most anti-moveset wrestling promotion ever. Hardly Benoit's fault. That psychology is all about working body parts is the greatest myth ever. Everyone is restricted by the WWE style. Well he was never "far and away the best talent in the business." For years he was one of the best in the world but there were plenty of others on the same level or higher (Misawa/Kobashi/Kawada/Liger/Austin/Guerrero/etc...). There is a recent anti-Benoit trend spreading across the 'net. Not much too it. He's slowed down a bit but he still has the thing that's always made him great - intensity.
