Little pissed off that Kennedy beat Punk to the briefcase, TBH. Punk got so close.

haha kennedy winning was awesome, hopefully he'll go on to better things now, one of the hottest talents in the WWE.

Michaels/Cena was a better match, TBH, although Michaels not winning was extremely annoying, especially given that he tapped out

Better match? never!! the entire thing was spent with cena receiving a horrible reception from the crowd and kicking out of sweet chin music a few times, taker vs batista would have been a much better way to end the night and send the fans home on a buzz rather than disgrunted at cena now winning at wrestlemania four years in a row.

Haha, I'm too much of a WWE n00b to be able to tell that well, TBH. I only started watching again 'cause I heard 'Taker was still in it, so I assumed I'd be biased.

Cena annoys me. I hope Kennedy takes his title off him, as much as I don't like Kennedy I like Cena less.

Would love 'Taker's next opponent for the Heavyweight Title to be Kane. Kane's arrival in WWF and the subsequent storylines between the two are my favourite WWF/E plots by far.

Have spent pretty much the last few days reliving old wrestling matches on Dailymotion, reminds me of when I was first into WWE. Really getting back into it now.

Have watched countless classic matches - the tag team ladder match from WMX7, Hell In A Cell '97. Royal Rumble '98, 'Taker's WWF debut, Kane's WWF debut, the 'Taker/Big Show v Rock/Mankind Buried Alive match, couple of Casket and Inferno matches, everything.

I really miss the days when the Tag Team division was awesome. Dudleys, Hardys, Edge and Christian, A.P.A and countless others. Those first few TLC matches were some of the most awesome I've ever watched.

I doubt it. You would have noticed that at WM Kane got squashed by a talentless Khali. WWE have been killing Kane for years now.

Wrestlemania X-7. Seriously one of the best TLC matches I have ever ever seen. Bloody awesome.

Yes, the tag team division used to be extremely good. Can't watch it now

was that the one with the Hardy's, Dudleys and Edge & Christian? in the TLC if it was the best match ever imo it was so good i wish i could watch it again and again

Yeah it was and with Spike and Ryno coming in as well. One of the best ever tag team matches

Edges spear off a ladder was incredible

I would have thought that was more due to their bizarre recent obsession with Khali than anything else. At first I thought he was like Big Show, but it turns out he's just bigger and less talented.

Besides, Kane's done alright recently. Watched his Inferno match against MVP the other day, that was pretty quality. At least they didn't book him to lose that one.

I'm not saying Kane can't pull off a match anymore. But the WWE has slowly been killing his gimmick over the past couple years with stupid storylines. Kane used to get huge pops and had main event status but to date has had one 24hr title reign. I used to love Kane, like when he was kicking ass and taking numbers in the 2001 Royal Rumble.

Well that's exactly why I want the 'Taker/Kane storyline back. That's when he was at his best, when he kept turning up and interrupting pretty much every single one of 'Taker's matches, and their feud was what got him to main event status. Would rather see him fighting for 'Taker's belt than Batista, who's just dire.

nah best bit was when Jeff Hardy Swaton Bombed off the 20foot ladder to take out Rhyno and Spike on the tables below

and have to agree Kane should take the belt in one of those old school fued with Taker

 

[Jono]

I haven't watched WWE since the end of 2005, but reading guys talk about old school matches has made me think of some ones that are often forgotten.

- Hart vs. Piper at Wrestlemania 8 for the IC title is one ripper I loved.
- Hart vs. Austin at Survivor Series 94, absolute classic.
- Triple H vs. Foley Street Fight at Rumble 99. The thumbtac pedigree is still one of the best things ever.

hwat about Kurt Angle V Shane O'Mac at King of the Ring 2000 i think it was probally best street match without Mick Foley

 

[Barney Rubble]

Am hoping that the third main event for Backlash is a good one, seeing as the two main events confirmed so far don't seem particularly interesting.

Cena vs Michaels vs Orton vs Edge in a 4-Way match for the WWE Title, and Lashley vs Umaga, Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the ECW Title. It's blatantly obvious that Lashley is going to win the latter, because three men can't simultaneously hold the ECW Title, while the former is gonna go to HBK I reckon.

There's also the Hardys taking on Cade & Murdoch for the Tag Title, who are just dire. Hardys obviously winning that one.

SmackDown! tomorrow night should announce the final main event - I'm gonna go for an Undertaker vs Batista rematch, but with a twist. Perhaps a Casket match or something, who knows. 'Taker to win, though.

2001, but yeah that was kickass.

 

[Pratters]

Have hardly watched much wrestling over the past 12 months as well. Speaking old school..

Who can forget

The two Razor v Shawn Michaels ladder matches
Owen Hart v Bret Hart
The Steiner Brothers
Undertaker v Mankind hey!
Austin era.
Benoit v Angle (my favorite wrestler v such a technical champion Angle was in my favourite style of matchups - technical)

Sigh so many golden memories. I was watching the Bret Hart DVD recently and loved every bit of it. I still like to see any wrestling show no matter how crap because it is great to analyse stuff whenever I can.. Hopefully I will get into it some time again though do not see it happening in the next year or so as am occupied much more now with work etc.

 

[Majin]

Yeah I'm a big fan of the technical matches as well. Last year there were a couple of awesome matches, William Regal vs Finlay, Regal vs Benoit and Benoit vs Finlay were all awesome old school matches. Bret Hart vs Kurt Angle would be my all time dream match.

Backlash is failing to interest me at the moment. It always has a hard time, being the first PPV after 'Mania, but so far the card looks just boring. Don't care about Undertaker/Batista, Batista bores me. Severely over the whole Lashley/McMahon thing and the blatant outcome of every match they book him in. Had enough of crap good guy John Cena, and any main event with Randy Orton in it is always going to make me fall asleep. Don't really care about the Tag match either, with it being blatantly obvious of the outcome.

I'm waiting for the inter-brand rivalry between Hardys and London/Kendrick, I think that would be stellar.

 

[Pratters]

I love Regal. Such a good wrestler. Benoit v Regal wow. Missed it and will try to watch those matches. Who is Finlay? My dream match.. Angle v Benoit always. They have wrestled against each other quite a bit and even though I liked Bret Hart, I rate Benoit higher.

Regal v.s Beniot would be good.Let's face it.
