The thing about Final Conflict i dont like is all the "ref keeps one guy from interfering" schtick they do in what the commentators constantly refer to as a No DQ match. normally i love that stuff in tag matches but i cant stand it in a setting like that.

 

also, things start off way too slow for my liking

Yet another vote here for Tully-Magnum. What I like about it, what makes it seem really intense and visceral, is the inclusion of the microphone. Hearing the gasps for breath over the public address and an extra amplification (literally) when someone gets clocked with it, gives it the edge as far as I'm concerned. Such a unique and effective thing to do; I'm surprised it hasn't been copied more.
