I think Jericho should get some votes here as well.

Have to agree about Shawn being Wrestler of the Decade. There are few people out there who can go and have great matches with almost anyone. Hell he took Vince McMahon to a good match at ‘Mania. Only other names I could think for WOTD would be Angle and Samoa Joe. I really want to say Chris Benoit but….fact is I still can’t watch a Benoit match. It’s a shame considering how great an athlete he was, but his legacy is tarnished forever. Anyway, back on topic, Kurt Angle, when he’s on his game, is got to be one of the best of all time. I mean he had great matches with almost every top star of the last 10 years, AJ, Joe, Sting, Taker, Shawn, Benoit, Eddie, the list could go on forever. Just my opinion but it’s a tossup between Shawn or Kurt for WOTD.

Be gentle, may have been watching for over 25 years, but first attempt at writing about it.

I am still in awe at how over Too Cool and Rikishi were for that little period in early-2000.
I think at first they were kind of over as joke wrestler with a one-note gag. Then, at some point (I don’t know when) they crossed over as mega-faces who could team with Rocky and Cactus and be just as over as they were.

Hey, Charlie, your list is much better, and if you are the one that is responsible for it being published, then you should run with your list.

It’s a big project, so be careful when you choose which ones to “lump” together. I think your original list is fine enough—but the list they gave to you DOES feature too many stories about death. It just looks like sensationalism to have 3 or 4 of the top 10 be about that.

Take control!

Don’t forget the HBK-Undertaker match from Ground Zero which was really fun as well and would’ve’ been even better with a proper finish (though it did set up HITC so the ending made sense).

Yeah, I have no idea what he means.

Triple H vs. Cactus is great, but I think I’ve seen it too much. I don’t know, I don’t ever feel the need to watch it. I think their rematch at No Way Out was far more intense.

But let’s take a look at Mick/Orton. You’ve got the barb-wire boards, bats, 2×4s. You’ve got the awesome tac spot, the brawling up stage. Orton being thrown off the stage, the awesome elbow…all of these incredible spots all sewn together with incredible wrestling. It was such an awesome bout, that was all pieced together with the awesome feud between Mick and Orton. Foley doesn’t call this his personal favorite match of all time for nothing.

I don’t know why people jizz all over the three way at WM20. If Benoit hadn’t got the shaft for so long, would people still think it’s that great? No. If you ask me, Eddie vs. Brock was the match of that year. The story that it told was tremendous. Brock playing the unstoppable heel, screaming things like “DIE! EDDIE, DIE!” through out the match. It was all so fantastic.

I think he means capitalize instead of punctuate? Maybe? I don’t know.

Caliber, I liked Orton-Cactus as well, but nowhere near that much. If that’s your style, isn’t the HHH-Cactus street fight the note-perfect example of that style? It’s probably my Match of the Decade, either that or Rock-Austin from WMX7 for the same reasons people stated above.

To each his own, but unless you’re a member of the Orton family, isn’t preferring that match to HHH-Cactus sort of like saying “well, that Michaels-Razor ladder match at WMX was sort of impressive, but I’ve gotta go with Jeff Hardy vs. Edge from Extreme Rules!”?

Other than one misplaced comma, all of that punctuation BELONGS there.

I remember watching with a group of friends and when Too Cools music hit the roof almost blew off the arena. We were all just like “Really? For Too Cool and Rikishi?” But it was just pure fun. The DX/Radicals were just gleefully evil and Mick was such a sympathetic face…. just a great match that showed how much a red hot crowd can add.

“7-HHH/X Pac/Perry Saturn/Dean Malenko/Chris Benoit VS Cactus Jack/Rock/Rikishi/Brian Christopher/Scott Taylor: Raw”

Certainly one of the more underrated matches, esp since it has been almost 10 years now. It goes along with my theory that it is really hard to fuck up a 5 on 5 tag match.
