| KBG29 said: Just finished watching. It was a good match, even with me not knowing Kenny Omega going into it. Might have had a bigger impact on me if I had more context. I would give it a 4/5 on todays WWE scale, but compaired to the Attitude Era its just a bit run of the mill. My favorite Jericho match is still the Sone Cold & HHH vs Jericho & Benoit on Raw when HHH tore his quad. Only about 18 minutes long, but it was non stop action. I think the best match of all time is Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon at King of the Ring 2001. |
I'm watching the Attitude era right now, and the matches are kind of shitty, to be honest. They are definitely NOT the main attraction of the show. It's the soap-opera stuff revolving around the McMahon family.
In fact, the RAW/Smackdown crowds seem to genuinely hate it when matches go beyond the 4-minute mark without any interruptions with story development stuff. In the last show I watched, Kurt Angle actually got a "boring" chant when his match ran a little long, and he's pretty much the best wrestler on the show right now (it's between him, Jericho, E&C, and the Hardys - the Rock has the flashiest/most entertaining style, but not as skillful as these guys).
Also, the main event slot for the last bit has been story segments for the most part; not matches.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
