    I'm talking about mat work and technical ability nothing to do with twists and turns, these days Taker has great ring presence and work ethic but what I'm telling saying is that wrestlers such as Randy Orton and John Cena are better naturally gifted wrestlers in the ring, that HITC was amazing I remember watching it live and I couldn't believe it when Foley got off the stretcher but surely you can see that it's not a 5 star classic in the wrestling match sense, but in a Sport-Entertainment sense it is an untouchable match in WWE history, although Mick should take a lot of the credit for the risks and bumps he took.

    Good shout, excellent match and psychology throughout the match, with two athletes at the peek of their ability.

    All time classic match that, coupled with the fact that Michaels wasn't supposed to have ended up in that state (he was to bleed but not THAT much!).

    So the undertaker has lost and will be banished from wee, hehe.... Well it turns out the reason he is away is because he is to undergo a couple operations that he`s been needing so as can wrestle for years to come. A year and a half to 2 years is the time scale being given, and obviously by then when he come`s back he will be at his darkest again.

    Taker always takes a couple of months off each year, Khali put him out of action in 2006, Edge put him out last year with the Money in the Bank cash in, I'd say he'll stay until 20 wins at WM when he'll leave with him in the center of the ring, everything going dark and him gone when the lights come back.

    Nostalgia is a beautiful thing. The WWE is as popular now as it ever was and rakes in even more viewers and cash than it ever has done.

    I prefered the 90s as thats when i was young and enjoyed it more, i still have a soft spot for it but as you get older it takes a back seat.

    Undertake Was The Best With His Casket And Big Paul B. Kane Was Better With His Mask. Was Well Better With The Rock, Stone Cold And Mick Foley [Catus Jack, Mankind] Since All The Big Starts Left Its Been *.

    Wrestlemania 25 Texas, Hall of Fame entrant and one final big pay off possibly against the Rock.

    You heard it here first :86:

    That's the hardest part of the deal yip, the only other one's would be the Undertaker whom they wouldn't want to drop his streak or Vince McMahon which wouldn't go down as an instant classic wrestling affair.

    Guys like HHH and Michaels don't have much significant past with Austin.

    McMahon-Austin would be good, the nolstagia alone would make the match enjoyable. I do want to see one more match from Austin and the Rock.

    The draft tonight, hopefully they actually shake things up.

    Anyway as we were talking about the Montreal screwjob the other night I was looking for this video I watched and finally found it. It's a part from Michaels DVD and it has Triple H saying how it was his idea.
