Punk and Jericho. Two of my favourites in the WWE title match at Wrestlemania. :yes:

The Hell in a Cell was awesome though, and I have no problems with it getting the most votes.

Best as far as excitement was no doubt HHH vs Taker. Best as far as a good wrestling match was Punk/Jericho.

Gotta go with Taker and HHH overall because after the SCM/Pedigree combo, I actually thought for a second that the streak was over.

I really wanted to say Punk/Jericho, but Taker/HHH took me for a ride that I haven't been on in a looooooooooong time. Great stuff.

I'm gonna be really unpopular saying this, but I think that HIAC match is extremely overrated. Yes, it was good, but was it GREAT? I don't think it was better than Taker's matches against HBK - I don't even think it's that much better than Taker and Triple H's match at X7.

There was a lot of overblown melodrama in the ring. There was lots of "acting." A lot of it felt very contrived to me. I would have liked a more straight forward match instead of the crap with all the chair shots and HBK's "struggling referee" stuff. It didn't feel dramatic to me - it felt forced and fake. And I guess for me the main thing was that at no point did I think Undertaker was going to lose. Not even after the SCM/Pedigree combo.

Whatever. To each their own.

It's a real shame when professional wrestling feels over-dramatic and fake, isn't it?

Personally i'd rate it better than Taker vs HBK @ WM26 but i'd have to agree that it doesn't hold a candle to WM25's stellar match.

I think Triple H's matches with Undertaker were better than Shawn's.

Austin vs Bret Hart was an incredible match, and it wasn't over-dramatic or "fake" feeling. They put on a great match that told a story, whereas I felt that Undertaker, Triple H and HBK told a story that just happened to be a match. I know that's really abstract, but that's how I feel about the match, and I've watched it a few times since WrestleMania.


And CSL, I love films and TV when they are done right. Chris Nolan took a comic-book story of a billionaire who dresses up like a bat to fight crime and made it into a cinematic masterpiece. Joel Schumaucher took the same story and turned it into Batman & Robin. It's all in the presentation.
