Watched Kurt Angle against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 21. One of the best matches in Wrestlemania history for me, unreal!

Yeah I forgot all about this match. It had a similar finish with Rude coming down to taunt Warrior with Savage winning by count out. Savage holding up both belts post match thinking he won was a glorious sight A glorious sight, indeed... šš¤©š This is what ā89 wouldāve looked like had I been booker. š

Just revisited this...belter. right up there with Angle vs Rey as an opener from SSlam02 Those are my two favourite openings of all time, both absolutely brilliant matches. I always slightly favour Storm/Edge, but damn both were utterly fantastic!

Undertaker v Shawn Michaels Hell in a Cell Badd Blood.
Even in a year that saw the famous Bret v Stone Cold match at WM13, this still takes match of the year for me! Also the last PPV match with Vince in the booth.
The bumping and blade job HBK did was unreal and the introduction of Kane was brilliant. I found it hilarious at the end when Triple H and China were helping Shawn out and were doing crotch chops while Shawn was āunconsciousā.
Any one know who the camera man that Shawn attacked was?

Hogan vs Flair @ Halloween Havoc 1994. Great stuff in fairness from both men.
Hogan vs The Butcher from Starrcade 1994. Good God what were they thinking š¤£š¤£š¤£

The Heath Slater and Rhyno segment from the Backlash 2016 kickoff show has a major Impact feel to it. Wasn't overproduced, really felt like they were trying to corpse each other.
And of course Jerry Lawler sh*ts all over it.
Finishing up with the event, it's really bothersome how little offense Dean Ambrose (the World Champion at the time) gets in. Tell me you have no faith in Dean without saying you have no faith in Dean.
And I know people praised Miz's run, myself included, but the IC match was hard to get thru. Couldn't care for Ziggler at all and Miz was just abusing cheap heat against Daniel Bryan. His infamous Talking Smack promo was only possible because Bryan was being held out by management. People are smart enough now to be aware of no-contact orders and criminal liabilities. Antagonizing people who can't legally fight back then painting them as cowards needs to be done with.
Bray def could have done without a random Kane match, much less a dang loss.

Just watched this again, great match. Still my favorite Hell in the Cell (though, I haven't seen them all). I still gotta go with Austin/Bret as the match of the year for 1997. From a pure wrestling standpoint, I think the match of Austin/Bret was just a smidge better than Taker/Shawn in this match. But both were tremendous, some of the best ever. And man, that chair shot that Taker gives Shawn at the end was vicious. I remember watching this when it happened. A girl who lived on my street was over at the house watching it with me and my friends. She wasn't a fan of wrestling and didn't know too much about it. I just remember her being so upset that Shawn was getting pummeled by Taker (she thought Shawn was hot, so she was rooting for him). I tried to see who the guy was but did not recognize him. I thought it might be 2 Cold Scorpio in a wig, but it was probably some indie guy they used - similar to how they do this with the "cops" or "security" that gets beat up by stars.

Joined the bandwagon and I watched it again today. Unbelievable match, Shawns bump off the cage was really good and Undertaker just throwing him about the outside after it was so well done that it looked like Shawn was legit done. Chair shot was wild, the blood added so much to the match throughout and the ending shot was the "Shawn's dead and buried" shot. Kane's debut is Classic and I love watching it back. I wish I could have been a bit older back then and watching so I got the real experience of it, but still a story that will never be beat for me in WWE.

Love the story about the girl from your street. It must be quite the experience watching especially violent matches if youāve no idea of the workings of pro wrestling. And those chair shots were something else!

Warrior vs DiBiase on the Main Event
Warrior's best TV match IMO

Warrior vs DiBiase on the Main Event Warrior's best TV match IMO If you mean non-PPV match, then I agree with you. That was a fantastic match. I was planning on watching it again soon. I would say that match is in my top five or six favorites of his with both Savage PPV matches, vs Hogan at WM6, and both Summer Slam matches with Rick Rude. I know a lot of people don't like Warrior's in ring work, but these were all fantastic matches. Also, in my opinion, the promo/interview before the DiBiase match was his best. He was under control during it and his ramblings actually made sense. It was a nice touch throwing in DiBiase's character about being able to buy anything, it was really good.

I watched a fun little match thatās just that, a fun little match. The Un-Americans vs Kane/Booker/Goldust/Bubba. One of my favourites to start a PPV.
