Matches that didn't live up to your expectation

HHH/Orton(bash 2009)

Lesnar Vs Goldberg for me, it was end up VERY VERY VERY disappointed.

First match that popped into my mind when i saw this thread.

IMO the match should of been the definition of brutality! Two very capable guys of putting on a super-sized brawl. Instead the whole angle and match were a flop as Goldberg wasn't even on TV for several weeks leading up to the event which basically left Brock vs. Austin for fueling the match.

I dunno if your being serious or not but Im going to agree. It was by far the match of the night but to me its very over rated and the only reason its praised is because of the 2 people in it. You replace them with Matt Hardy and Kane and have the EXACT same match (same spots etc) it wouldnt get much praise. It just shows how much Mania 25 really sucked when looking back...

anyway back to the question....Goldberg vs Lesnar, Orton vs HHH at WM25 and Hart vs HBK at Mania12....its a good idea until you have to sit through over and hour of head locks

But Kane and Matt Hardy couldn't pull off the same match or the same spots. Half of the reason it was so great was how exciting it was. Half the people were cheering for Taker, half were cheering for Michaels. The entrances were literally epic. The atmosphere at home watching it alone was intense, so I can only imagine what it was like live. It was a HUGE match feel and people cared who won. That made every near fall that much more exasperating. That made every Tombstone and Superkick that much harder. That made the match special. Kane and Hardy couldn't ever get a match to that point. Outside of the hype, the two 40+ men, who should by all reasonable logic be retired or completely washed up at this point, went out there an dominated a young man's game. They did it better than two guys in their late twenties would have done. They both took brutal bumps to the outside of the ring. They both reached deeper because they knew all eyes were on them. You're damn right part of the reason it was so great was because of the two people in it--because they are the only two men at their age that could pull something that great off in such a high pressure situation. The match was so hyped by us, and they knew all eyes were on them, and they didn't choke at all. They didn't disappoint in the least.

What do you know anyways? You dont know nothing about fashion, women, ethic nor morals and obviously you don't know good wrestling.

My problem with this match is that I expected it to be good....I think. I can hardly remember what I expected based on the way that everyone has sucked the match's d!ck (not possible, obviously) as the greatest of all time when to me it was clearly not even the best match between the two of them. Yes, Wrestlemania itself played into it, but there were botches and a long portion towards the late middle where I was just ready for the damn thing to be over. I understand that collectively everyone HAS to overstate how good every HBK match is, but this one is just ridiculous. Just to note, I think both are among the greatest of all time. Everyone's reaction to this match is just too much for me.

'taker/HBK was tha shit.
I watched it in a friggin bar and it almost had me on the edge of my seet.
Some douche who I would usually find anoying was yelling and screeming at every near fall and clapping at every counter/finisher but I didn't care at all he was simply saying was going through my head.
I don't see why, when something is overally loved or great certain people on this forum have to pick at it until they find a flaw e.g Jericho,Ryder and in this instance, HBK/'taker.
