========================================================

Many people disagree, but this is very close to what i had. I had Flair/HBK a little higher and Edge/Taker lower. Glad to see someone finally agree's with my ratings.

Let the hating begin

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I agree with them, maybe HBK vs Flair a little higher and one could argue JBL vs Finlay could be a ***, but they are reasonable

 

[Kaedon]

HBK/Flair was only a half star better than Show/Mayweather? Is he on crack? And considering the botches and the tons of downtime in the main event, it was nowhere near better than Flair/HBK. And the womens match a quarter star? Fucking a.

 

[xtremebadass]

HBK and Flair should have been higher than both title matches. lol, he didnt grade the ECW match!

 

[HHHforever]

Those all look a little low to me imo. Flair-HBK was definitely 4 star at the very least. JBL-Finlay was 3 star at least to me. Also his 1/4 star rating of the women's match is a bit ridiculous to me. I mean don't get me wrong it didn't by any means steal the show or anything, but 1/4 of a star? I mean it wasn't like a bunch of blind, handicapped, Blue people wrestling as far as diva matches go I thought it was fairly entertaining..

 

[CenaMark54]

I completely agree with those ratings. Its basically what I had, maybe off by quarter here and a quater of a star there. Although, I though MITB was better than the Triple threat at the time. I'll have to watch them both again.

They are just about perfect and I happen to agree with all of them except the Finlay/Bradshaw one, that was a good old Hardcore style match so he could have given more. However, the Money in the Bank wasn't that great so he should have taken out one star from there.

I see that many people are talking about Flair and Michaels it really wasn't the show stealer or something like that, a little slow paced and nothing too great imo. But then again, the ending was classic and it could have gotten more.

On a second note, where is Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero? :disgust1:

 

[Kaptain KnicKy]

Ill agree with those ratings. I honestly dont think HBK/Flair was that great, and i had a strong feeling it was going to be like HBK's other Mania matches, from the past few years. It was fairly slow, and played to the Flair followers (chops, old school stuff) - the botchiness of it was prolly wat made it 3 1/2 stars, and not 3. Daym, did it look like HBK was hurting after the bad table spot and diving "into" Flair on the outside?

everything else was pretty much spot on, triple threat is nicely rated. maybe it was just me, cause i watched WM24 with spanish commentary. fuck they talk waaaaay to much.

 

[Beer Money Army]

so why is this posted in News Section, shouldn't this been in wrestling reviews......

but on my side of wm 24
-Finlay vs. John Bradshaw Layfield: 4/10
-CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho vs. MVP vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. John Morrison vs. Carlito vs. Shelton Benjamin: 7/10
-Batista vs. Umaga 2/10
-Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels: 8/10
-Ashley & Maria vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina: o/10 Just terrible
-Randy Orton vs. John Cena vs. HHH: 7/10
-Floyd Mayweather vs. Big Show: 5/10
-Edge vs. The Undertaker: 8/10

average wm.. not better than there best one WM 19

 

[HHHforever]

^It'd be much easier if you used the 5 star system, out of 10 makes it confusing. On top of that this isn't the post your WM review here thread, there is a thread for that. This is just a single guys review, who some would call one of the better wrestling analysts out there, so that's why it's in the new section.

 

[the dark knight]

rofl there goes his credibility. fucking idiot...what does that douche base match ratings on? i cant find a pattern...

taker vs edge over rated
floyd vs bigshow ok i agree on that
triple threat i agree on that one too
bunny mania i kinda agree on that too
batista vs umaga over rated
flair vs hbk highly underrated, the match is close to ***** imo.
MITB a bit under rated
jbl vs finlay i agree on that

well, i agree on half of the ratings but i still cant find any reasoning really...they look random.

 

[HHHforever]

^Yea I kind of agree. It doesn't seem like he has any type of pattern or logic with all the ratings, they do seem a bit random to an extent.

 

[CenaMark54]

Flair vs HBK was not a 5 star match.

I don't get why people keep saying it is. Sure there was a lot of emotion and it was Flairs last match for now. Because of those things people are overrating it.

 

[McLovin]

I'd give Finlay/JBl 3 stars just for the head shot that Finlay took.

 

[Kaedon]

a 1/4 star match is recockulous. The guy has his head too far up NJPWs ass to accept a different form of wrestling.
