That was an pretty amazing match it might be better than last night. I still have to give HBK/Taker another look. But from initial wacthing I'd say the No Way Out match was better... but only just.

The only issue I may have with last night's match was that is was too slow at times but that's just me nit picking what was a tremendous match, when matches are this good its hard to tell between them.

There's more here going than just the match itself, which was phenomenal. The atmosphere brought it up and the fact that I am an absolute mark for both men brings it up a notch. They storyline was good, too, if simplistic.

But I stand by my opinion that this was the greatest modern era match.

And as far as storytelling goes, it does not get too much better than this.
What constitutes modern era? This isn't me trying to argue just curious what you consider the modern era.

Amazing match, instant classic. But the "slow start" was a very slow start. I felt my heart sinking as I started to fear that the match wasn't going to live up to the hype or my expectations.

I'm not even talking 'classic psychology' slow start, I'm talking a match that didn't look like it was actually going to move up that gear it needed to, for a scary while... but man, when it finally did, WHAT A FUCKING MATCH.

I am actually watching the match again as we speak.

If you have a copy and plan to watch it again any time soon... check out Michaels' hair when Taker has him locked in the Hell's Gate early into the match. Time to give up the ghost, HBK... if he shaved that head, he'd reveal what has slowly become a Phil Collins hairline underneath the flowing barnet.

I'm talking his entire crown is now bald, he just has a Collins-like tuft at the front which obviously he grows long and ties back to give the impression of a full head of hair... If some cruel fucker shaved that small tuft at the front of his hairline when he was asleep, he would literally have a brunette Hogan do.

Still can't get over Taker's reaction to the kickout of the Tombstone.

His facial expression is what everyone was thinking.
