1. John Cena v. Umaga, Last Man Standing, Royal Rumble 2007(10,750 pts.)

HG: Really, there isn?t a lot to be said about this match that hasn?t been said a million times by anyone who knows much about anything related to wrestling. This was pretty much the walk-away winner this year and with good reason.

For such a wild brawl, it?s technically brilliant. The way the violence just escalates and how the story evolves as the match moves along is something you really don?t get to see a lot of in any match, never mind a match like this. There?s clubbering and then a spot that Cena barely escapes being pulvarized. More clubbering, crazier spot, Cena survives. Continue clubbering holy crap crazy spot that Cena finds a way to save his skin yet again. Then the match just leaps away from being what you thought it would be: a predictable WWE title match and more of a guessing game as to how the hell Cena is going to Survive. The title becomes secondary to the story. It?s not about Cena winning. It?s about him surviving.

The last spot wasn?t just dramatic and different, but it just tied in so well with the characters and themes of escalation, frustration and survival. Estrada is fun to watch here because he just is the topping on the cake as you watch him get more and more angry on the outside as Umaga isn?t able to seal the deal. Umaga?s losing his cool and now it ain?t about belts. He can have those whenever he wants them. It?s about putting Cena?s head on a pole, just like any good Samoan savage would want to do. Cena?s just trying to figure out a way to live through it all and he does, as the last and craziest attempt to do him in fails and ends up playing to his advantage. Nice little irony there, too. Cena doesn?t beat Umaga, he has to get lucky and flat kill him to survive.

God, I love this match and really, it?s the best match the WWE?s put out since the JBL-Eddie Guererro blood bath at Judgement Day in 2004. This isn?t just a top match for this year, but it?s probably one of the top five matches the WWE?s had this decade if not in all of wrestling. ****1/2

Benjamin is a next example of wasted talent. There was a point where Shelton was arguably the next great wwe star and no he is nothing but a highlight reel and a joke! Post comments please.

tell me some of your thoughts on no way ot, namely the two EC matches and the cena v orton match. At first it look like they were watering down the signfications of the EC match by having two, but now I like it. Comments would be nice!
