WrestleMania 21 - watched the whole event. couple notes,since I literally have not seen the event since it aired live in 2005:
1) That Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio opener was f#$king GREAT!
2) poor Shelton Benjamin! he always did the great spots in the Money in the Bank matches,yet never got the deserved win.
3) that Trish Stratus/ Christy Hemme match...I forgot how bad that was. If Christy's timing had been any more off...
4) Angle vs HBK,one of the best matches EVER!
5) for those of us who hate Super Cena...it all began here. with Cena getting beatdown by JBL,only to suddenly start no-selling and go ape on Bradshaw,finishing him off quickly.
6) Batista vs HHH I remembered as being better. I mean it wasn't terrible,but nothing memorable outside of it making Batista a star.

Table Dumpster Match from KOTR 2000. The Dudleyz were great around this point.

If you consider how great it was it's actually quite underrated and doesn't get as much praise as it deserves!

If you consider how great it was it's actually quite underrated and doesn't get as much praise as it deserves! yeah,it's overlooked for some reason. likely cause HBK had "higher profile" Mania matches after it ( 22 vs Vince McMahon, 23 vs Cena, 24 he retired Flair, 25 vs Taker,26 vs Taker in his last match).

As much as I loved the matches with Taker it was the story that made them special. From a straight up wrestling standpoint the match with Angle wins it easily

Randy Orton Vs Hardcore Holly Smackdown April 25th 2002
- Orton's first televised match in the WWE. Great to watch now, especially seeing how much he has changed.
Randy Orton Vs Shawn Michaels Unforgiven 2003
- Good match. Still happy Orton got the victory here.
Intercontinental Championship Randy Orton Vs Rob Van Dam Armageddon 2003
- Probably my favorite match out of the ones listed. Great back and forth, in what ended up being the peak night for Evolution.
Evolution (Randy Orton/Batista/Ric Flair) Vs Rock N' Sock Connection (The Rock/Mick Foley) Wrestlemania 20
- Decent match. Loved the finish with Orton hitting the RKO out of nowhere to get the win. The ending with Orton getting emotional was pretty amazing too.

Undertaker vs. Big Show @ No Mercy 2008
Underrated match. Probably the best match (you're going to get) out of these two.
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy WWE Championship @ No Mercy 2008
Another match that goes unnoticed. Great finish with Triple H retaining.

Foley pulled out good old socko to use against Orton and the crowd started going nuts...and then Orton got up, hits the RKO, and gets the win. Great stuff!

Hardcore Holly Vs Orton- Smackdown 02'
Randy's debut. Impressive match! I think the clubbing to the chest Holly gave him is more brutal than when Sheamus does it.
The Dudley's Vs The Rock- Handicap Tables match- Smackdown 00'
Entertaining match.

Hardcore Intercontinental Championship Match
Randy Orton Vs. Mick Foley Backlash 2004
-What a match. Orton going through the thumbtacks, being thrown off the stage through the tables. Just amazing. Definitely something you won't be seeing again during the PG era. I remeber distinctly watching this for the first time when it aired, and afterthis match is when I really began viewing Orton as a top main eventer.
Intercontinental Championship Match
Randy Orton Vs. Edge Vengeance 2004
- Good match. Nothing like the previous I just listed. Very sound, technical match. Amazing how the crowd cheers for Orton, and then he tells them to stop and they immediately start booing him. Good to see Edge win too. It was almost like Orton outgrew the Intercontinental title by this point, he didn't need it anymore.

Back when Randy was entertaining. Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair Loser Leaves town WWF Raw The match was PERFECT (Get it?) and Heenan's reaction was priceless

Orton Vs Taker- Smackdown September 16th 2005
Love this match. Why can't Randy still be this entertaining? The Viper gimmick is so played out. Side note the Taker figure in the casket is creepy as hell!!
Eddie Vs Rey- Smackdown September 9th 2005
This was their cage match. Always a pleasure watching these two. Hard to believe Eddie would be gone so soon after this.

The Great American Bash 2007, It was not as good as I had remembered which is a huge disappointment. I always held Bobby Lashley vs John Cena as one of my favourite matches lol.
This is awesome, never knew of this match happening.
