soup23 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Finished the year end show, great show like always. I appreciated Dylan spelling out criticisms with the Shield/Hell No-Ryback match. I can certainly see people that adore that match but I had some pretty big severe problems with it that didn't make it resonate for me. Also enjoyed the variety of matches mentioned very much. I was kind of surprised no one mentioned HHH/Taker from Wrestlemania. I know Dylan didn't like that match very much but I figure it to do well in the final observer awards and besides Michael’s junior high acting job, I enjoyed the actual in ring work a good deal.

Dylan Waco Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 When I first saw Taker/HHH I thought it was okay, but needlessly long and Michaels nonsense hurt it. I watched it again not that long ago and was actually shocked at how much I didn't like it. The beginning of it is okay, but as it went along it quickly turned into the worst sort of overacted soap opera match. I still think "Old gay couple deciding whether or not to put down their sick dog" is a valid description of much of the match, though I think the Green Mile comp is better - Taker is a decent Mr. Jingles, HHH is poor as John Coffey and Michaels is terrible as Tom Hanks character.

That's one of my absolute favorite descriptions of a wrestling match I've ever heard. Of anything, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Perhaps when we get older, my partner and I will grow ponytails, start making really sophomoric phallus jokes and debate the future of the Undertaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
