Welcome, you won't regret this. Btw, I really like your avatar, since I enjoy Top Gear and is that avatar from an actual episode?

And, I will make sure to watch Steen/Richards, since I keep hearing great things about Steen, as a character/wrestler and that Richards is a solid wrestler.

my avatar is from the episode where The Stig and James May play top trumps with (I believe) a BMW M5 and an Audi R8

It is a great match. Everyone like Davey Richards, but I'm a big fan of Steen,especially his Mic work.

I watch WWE, TNA, and Catch the ROH iPPVs. I also enjoy, and starting to participate, in the local promotions around here.

Re: What match are you currently watching atm?

Just finished Austin vs Benoit - RAW 5/28/01. This incredible match is a week after Benoit and Jericho beat HHH/Austin for the titles in probably the best raw match ever and a few days after Benoit/Jericho where in TLC III on SD! in another 5* classic.

About to watch the rematch. Austin vs Benoit - SD! 5/31/01 .

An astonishing year for both wrestlers.

F that, I can go ahead and say Benoit's name in this here forum unless they personally tell me to stop, and they better give me a good incentive to stop.

I got to watch that Austin/Benoit match, I keep hearing great raves about it, but I just could not find the opportunity to watch it.

Anywho, as of now, I'm going to watch Wild Pegasus (which is Benoit) vs Black Tiger (which is Eddie Guerrero in this one) Super J Cup 1994.

Re: What match are you currently watching atm?

I think that you're failing to get that the jokes are being made about the people censoring him and the practices that they engage in, not about people who actually prop up Benoit's body of work.

100% agree. One of the best matches of all time was Benoit/Angle from 03 Rumble. I think it is horrible that a man that gave so much to this business has to be wiped away due to one bad mistake at the end of his life,especially when it was shown that he had lost his faculties due to taking all those bumps.

There was a WM 20 pic going around that I thought was really funny with him shopped out of the main event. but for the life of me I can not find it.

Re: What match are you currently watching atm?

Watched the War Games from 92 which got 5* from Meltzer. It's very enjoyable but I don't see what makes it such a great match. I'd give it like 3.5-4.

Also watched Angle vs Austin from SSlam 01 which is an intense brawl with a great ending. Saw people on another forum pimping Hansen vs Andre from 9/23/81 and that is a very good match/fight. Vader vs Sting in a Strap match from SuperBrawl 93 was f'n awesome as well.

I liked the concept of War games, but That match doesn't really hit all my ***** requirements. If I remember, i think I gave it 4* when i was debating it.

Angle austin was great, never saw Vader vs sting.

I'd go back and check out every Shane McMahon PPV match, it is surprising what kinds of spots he did.

Re: What match are you currently watching atm?

I remember watching his match vs Test live from some SummerSlam and thought it was amazing. Still haven't seen his KotR match vs Angle but will probably check it out tonight since I'm reminded now .
