Top 15 Matches of 2008 (so far)
by willierko on 4/14/08 12:48 AM
1)Ric Flair Vs. Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania *****
Emotional roller coaster for me. It was a ton of fun and nice high spots by HBK. We saw flair do 3 variations of a suplex !! When was the last time we saw Flair put that much effort into a match ! Probably not since he faced Orton at Taboo Tuesday 2004.
2)Austin Aries Vs. Go Shiozaki ROH 6th Anniversary Show ****1/2
This show was a bit disappointing but this match here delivered big time ! Technically speaking it WAS better than Michaels and Flair but due to no real feud or storyline in this match besides it being billed as a dream match it lacks that extra something to amke it a 5 star classic.
3)Samoa Joe Vs. Kurt Angle Lockdown ****1/4
This match was epic. And I heard a lot of the fans complain that Joe should have gotten the title sooner I would have to agree but I am still so glad that Joe has FINNALY won the BIG ONE (in TNA). The MMA style build was just what TNA needed to do to keep Joe's title win important.
4)Edge Vs. The Undertaker Wrestlemania ****1/4
Say what you want about the built to this match, the Payoff was incredible. We got an amazing technically sound match which exceeded my expectations. Edge pulled off moves and counters that I have not seen him do in a very long time. These 2 really brought out the best in each other, and I am so glad this match went on last because it was very very good.
5)Jeff Hardy Vs. Shawn Micheals WWE Raw 2/11 ****1/4
This match here gets TV match of the year honors so far. It was a true spectacle watching these two go toe to toe and Shawn Michaels those what he always does and brings out the best in his opponents. While I can make the argument that Hardy did the same with Michaels, fact of the matter is, is that these 2 truly gave the fans in attendance there money's worth.
6)Kurt Angle Vs. Christian cage Against All Odds ****
While I hated the build of this match because of all the Angle Alliance Crap, This match truly shined on a lack luster card.
7)Kevin Steen Vs. Brent Albright ROH Transform ****
Hard Hiting, Brutal, Stiff Fest. This truly was the battle of the Bulls and I recommend this match to anyone who loves to see what big guys can REALLY do in the ring. BIG Daddy V, Mark henry and Khali need to start watching these behemoths and take some notes on how to put on a very good match.
8)Miz Vs. CM Punk ECW 4/08 ***3/4
This was undoubtedly better then there match at Cyber Sunday alst year, and that match was pretty good. This was just good thats all, if you disagree and say its because the miz sucks..well then you haven't been keeping up with ECW or Samckdown.
9)Money In The Bank Wrestlemania ***2/3
This was just an excellent spot fest . . . .oh and CM Punk won !!
10)Carlito Vs. Shelton Benjamin ECW 3/25 ***1/2
This was a good match. This was full of nice spots, good counter wrestling, and nice ring pshycology. I know that this was Dusty Rhodes last night booking so he mus ahve said to them this : "You lazy bastards have talent, now go out there and go beat the snot out of each other and prove to these people you have some god damn talent."
11)AJ Vs. Christian Vs. Joe TNA 1/17 ***1/2
This was good but I am sure that this could have been soooo Much better if they gave it more time and if Christian didn't win.
12)Jeff hardy Vs. Randy Orton Royal Rumble ***1/2
I loved this match. It should have gone about 10 more minutes. Hardy brought his A Game and Orton did what he can as well.
13)Jeff Hardy Vs Chris Jericho Raw 2/25 ***1/2
Another good TV match. This time on Raw, very fast paced and Jericho proved that he can make anybody look real technically sound, even Hardy who has been ridiculed for his lack of technical skill in the past, not in this amtch.
14)CM Punk Vs. John Morrison Smackdown 3/28 ***1/4
This was not as nearly as good as their match from ECW tv last year from when Punk won the title, but these two In My Opinion have put on the best series of matches the WWE fans have seen since Benoit and Booker T.
15)Erick Stevens Vs. Austin Aries ROH Proving Ground ***1/4
This match had a nice serious build around it, considering that these 2 were former stable mates until Aries disbanded the Resilience, which made the young Stevens furious and was out for redemption to prove to Aries that he should have never disbanded the group. With the story come great hard hitting stiff action, and the announcers Dave Prazak and Lenny Leonard do such a good job of selling the rivalry AND the match. Take some notes Micheal Cole And Coach.
Have a wonderful day, everyone....(I hope you all trip on hornswoggle after reading this awesome blog.

I'd put Punk/Jericho was very good, but not better than any of these matches
Punk/Edge had a screwy ending and was too short in my opinion it was solid, just **1/2 to be completely honest.
But these are all opinions people.

I didn't mean the match they had on RAW. I mean the match they had on Smackdown before the Royal Rumble after Edge screwed Punk.

Thats exactly the match I was thinking of, Like I said i thought it was just good, not very good or great though, they should have had more than 10 minutes, maybe 15-25 minutes, I'm sure if they had that much time it would be a classic.

Joe and Angle is a bit too high it was too slow and boring. How about gail kim vs awesome kong at final resolution? and the triple threat tag match at destination x? and ofcourse you forgot rey and edge at the rumble. TOO many cm punk matches as well. the dude is very overrated
