WrestleMania X other than Bret-Owen and the ladder match,this was kind of a sh#tty Mania,I must say! Bigelow/Luna vs Doink and Dink - not good at all. even the comedy aspects of a midget vs a woman fell flat.
Women's Title match - not much effort put into this thankfully short affair. Tag Title match - Quebecers tried their best, but MoM were just too big an sloppy. Yoko vs Luger - Christ,I forgot how many rest holds were in this! and it was nice to see the Luger vs Perfect setup that seemed to be the end purpose of this match went nowhere. Adam Bomb vs Earthquake - anytime your match is upstaged by The Fink vs Harvey Whipleman, you know you're in trouble! 8-Man Tag match - never even took place til Raw the next night! Yoko vs Hart - alright,but for the "real" Mania main event,it was lacking, especially considering Hart just purely brawled in this one. My favourite part of that is when Dink doesnt roll out of the way enough of Lunas splash so Luna pushes him out from under him and then acts like she missed him. Brilliant. yeah,the whole matched looked sloppy as hell,with a few botches and a lot of pratfall's, planned and otherwise. poor Bam Bam.

Hey guys, just a heads up; Walmart has every Wrestlemania dvd for 9.95. WM 23 is actually 5 bucks for some reason. I just watched it On Demand last night though.

Eddie Guererro vs JBL Judgment day 2004,
Eddie bleeds bad in this one, up there with Taker,Vince, Cena (a year later, also vs JBL) and Joey Mercury for most blood lost in the last 10 years or so. Enjoyable match.
Benoit vs Orton SS04, pretty good match.
Edge vs HBK Street fight Raw 2005, great match just like their other street fight match a few years later
HBK vs HHH RR04 Last man standing. Really good match from these two as expected.
Orton vs Foley and Benoit vs HHH vs HBK, both matches from backlash 2004.
Loved the Foley vs Orton match, one of my favorite matches ever. The ending to the Benoit match with Nancy and Daniel in the crowd celebrating made me feel weird but was an excellent rematch from their WM20 contest.
Also watched a few IYH PPV matches:
HBK vs Double J HBK vs Owen Hart Bret Hart vs Bulldog Bret Hart vs Hakushi Bret Hart vs Jean-Pierre Lafitte

Picked up Unforgiven from 2008 on sale yesterday. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels is one of the most underrated matches of that year with both guys just beating the unholy hell out of one another. Jericho is bruised, battered and bloodied while Michaels shows a side of himself we hadn't seen in quite some time. Good stuff all around.

WCW Starrcade 1996: "I'm a midget! Sky LowLow! Me! Right here!" - Piper
Match of the Night: Dean Malenko vs. Ultimo Dragon: Really good wrestling match between these two that had the crowd standing. No shocker Malenko steals the show.
Worst Match of the Night: Hogan vs. Piper: What can be said about this that hasn't been said. Between the bait and switch on the title match, to the somewhat botched finish, to the actual wrestling/poking/gouging/slapping/scratiching, it was awful. Not even the atmosphere could save this atrocity.
Highlights: - Outsiders vs. Faces of Fear: Never thought I'd put this here, but these four had a really good match. Really surprising to me - Sting: As always, the guy got so much with so little
Low Points: None
Middle of the Road: - Medusa vs. Hokuto: Sloppy, but it wasn't bad. I see where Trish Stratus got a lot of her move set from - Liger vs. Mysterio: Good, but it felt like an extended squash. Nothing spectacular or even great, but its not terrible - Benoit vs. Jarrett: No DQ match that only used the stip for the finish. Good match, but again, forgettable - DDP vs. Eddie: Solid match between the two. Eddie hated working with DDP, but he got good matches out of him. Another solid match for DDP in 1996 that ultimately was his launching point. - Giant vs. Luger: Surprisingly good, but the Sting run in was the highlight. Luger really was over big here and it started the dissention with the Giant/NWO
Show Rating: 5/10. This show, if nothing else, has a bunch of really good wrestling on it if you take out the main event. However, not a single thing is memorable in a positive way in the long term, nor is there a really great match on it, which is why it is right in the middle. Ultimately this is a completely forgettable show. Watch it or skip it? Skip it.

WrestleMania XII - whole event.
can't really say more than what Voc said in his review. but I will say this : it felt like a step in the right direction. not perfect by a long-shot, but after 2 extremely crappy Mania's in a row (some would say 3), it felt like WrestleMania MEANT something again.
Royal Rumble 1992.
just the Rumble match itself. still great,and still an amazing performance by Flair.

Finally finished the Best of Nitro vol 2 (or 'dos' as DDP puts it)
Last match was Booker T VS Scott Steiner, good match for what it's worth.

Watched Halloween Havoc and WW3, agree with what Mr. Orange said about the PPVs a couple pages back.
Its amazing how many average PPVs WCW had in 1996 considering the low point 1995 was for WWF, you'd think they would try and put on great shows to upstage WWF but it didnt really happen for me. I would prefer to watch WWF PPVs in 96 than WCW personally. If it werent for NWO and Sting, I dont think WCW would be that memorable in 96 although they had some great feuds like Savage/Flair, Benoit/Taskmaster and a stack of tag teams that seemed to all be pushed aside so NWO could look cool and have TV time.
WW3 match is strange to me, I dont get the love for the multi-rings, it makes its hard to focus on whats happening, whos doing what and how the match is going.
