Survivor Series 88. Wow...that event went downhill fast. I have the original PPV feed, so it wasnt edited...but I wish it was. The tag match was a complete mess. Way too long...one of the Conquistadors took everyones signature move or finishers, and kept kicking out. I dont know what they had planned....but i honestly thinkmthey didnt know what to do. All they wanted was the "double switch". Which in my opinion, did NOT work. The fans were confused. They all still cheered for the POP, and even Fuji, instead of feeling sympathy for Demolition. Even the commentators had to try and explin it. Plus the awful POP music didnt help. Fuji going up on the apron twice didnt help, missing his cue. The poor work of the Warlord really exposed the team, and the fans knew it. He had trouble getting one of the Conquistadors up for the press slam...and he is supposed to be the power guy on the face team...while Davey Boy, eqsily presses him, and walks around. Tully Blanchard was actually the star of the match...he was amazing. The fans were done after the 45 minutes tag match with the confusing ending. 88 was a tough year for the WWF after such a strong 87. Way too many substitutions on the card, and the main event was never in doubt. As if Hogan and Savage were losing. I always loved SVS 88' as a kid. Used to watch it over and over. On official VHS release though.

Thinking about picking up Undertaker 20-0 for the matches.
Does anybody know if it's available on blu-ray or DVD only?
Believe it or not, I really want to watch his match with Diesel from Wrestlemania 12. I find it highly underrated.

The last two I watched were...
Steve Austin Vs. Ricky Steamboat Sting Vs. Flair
both from The Clash Of The Champions Blu-ray. Both pretty good matches.
And to answer your question, the streak is on blu-ray too I believe and I agree with you about that match.

Kerry Von Erich vs Ric Flair steel cage WCCW. Pretty decent match with Michael Hayes as ref, he was just starting to feud with the Von Erichs at this stage i believe. Shows you how good Kerry really was when you think he was only 23 in this match and main eventing against Ric Flair. Bad ending to the match though which spoiled it.

Savage Vs. Yoko from Raw in 94 right before Savage left the company. (Actually his last match with WWF)
Good solid match. Yoko really was a solid worker I think. At least before he got massively overweight. On a side note, I think him ever turning face was a BAD idea.

All this Yoko talk....Yoko vs. Lugar at Summerslam 93.
Just for those wanting to watch this...watch the promos beore hand...especially the Yoko and Cornette one right before the match.
Cornette speaking while the camera is doing a painfully slow close up on Yokos face.....until his face is filling p the screen.
Super cool build up.
Underated match.

Randomness. Pretty much blind picked the DVD's and matches Id watch out of my collection recently just for a change. Been watching so much stuff this summer its crazy. But the most recent randoms were:
- WWE Vengeance 2006(Not really 'classic' but whatever): Underrated show in my book. RVD/Edge, Angle/Orton and of course the triple threat IC title match were all great matches. Foley/Flair, Cena/Sabu, and Spirit Squad/DX were all fine for what they were. The only duds were Kane 1 vs. Kane 2(So bad you can't believe it) and Umaga/Eugene.
- WWE Backlash 2002: Good show as a whole that had a loaded card but I only watched a couple matches off the disc the most recent time. Undertaker vs. Austin was a long match, not their best and it was really hampered in my opinion by Ric Flair. Never seemed to really get going. Eddie/RVD was great and it was good to see Eddie get the IC belt
- WWE King of the Ring 2002: The 3 tournament matches were all great, even Test/Lesnar. I liked it back then and I still like it now. Eddie/Flair was slightly disappointing. Something just didn't click for me there despite loving both guys. Hogan/Angle delivered big time. Triple H/Undertaker main event... hate it. Absolutely hate it. Definitely their worst match. Who'd have thought that 9/10 years later they'd have 2 back to back MOTY candidates in a row with each other.
Hell In A Cell Set: Triple H/Jericho and Triple H/Kevin Nash: The Jericho match was very unique and a fitting way to end that rivalry. The Nash cell match was just brutal. I don't mean that as bad, just they looked like they were beating the hell out of each other. --------------------- TNA Angle vs. Samoa Joe Trilogy from Genesis 2006-Final Resolution 2007 TNA Destination X 2007: Christian vs. Samoa Joe ROH Hell Freezes Over 2006: Bryan Danielson(Daniel Bryan) vs. Chris Hero(Kassius Ohno) was very good but they seemingly held back a little as this was the start of the ROH/CZW rivalry. Evan Bourne vs. AJ Styles was off the charts as you'd expect
