Just getting through the WWE stuff now. While I've no intention of defending 2003 Raw, I disagree with Dylan about 2004. Perhaps that pre-Mania episode was the exception, because there were loads of lengthy matches throughout the year. Two HBK-Benoit matches, an Edge-Orton one, some 6 man tags with Evolution, the hour long Benoit-HHH immediately spring to mind.
Not all great matches, but I've a lot of fond memories from that time.
