In which case HBK-HHH-Benoit was a huge draw, but it wasn't any more of a draw then say Angle-Guerrero or Lesnar-Goldberg, etc

In the ring, I really liked the Mania match, but who didn't? Can I say it was the best of all time, I dont know, it depends on the criteria for what is good, hence the debate.
I was just asking your opinion, do you not have a personal favorite match that you enjoy that doesn't have anything to do with criteria other than your personal tastes

In response to Rob's question about asking 100 people on the street, I'll say this. As I mentioned earlier, their wrestling knowledge will have a huge impact on their thoughts. If it's someone who has watched WWE all their lives, they'll probably say WWE... If it some who's never watched wrestling, it's a toss up. If it is someone who watches RoH, chances are they'll probably say RoH. Then you have to consider the wrestlers... If one match is a hoss match, and the other is a lightweight match, and the person your asking enjoys lightweight matches, he'll probably answer the lightweight one.

And CyNick, maybe individual matches can draw. Once again though, that has nothing to do with the match being good. If anything, a high draw means people think the match has potential to be good.

And once again, I din't say a match that draws is "good" in terms of quality.

But what do you think makes a match "good" in terms of quality?

I liked the match, especially when they started nailing each other's finishers

For me, its so tough to qualify what I like in a match.

I hate to sound like an ass, but I like a good match.

For example, I liked Hogan vs Rock a lot, granted I was there live getting worked by Hogan, but it was far and away the best match Ive ever seen in terms of crowd support.

In the same breath I loved Angle-Benoit from Royal Rumble 2002, but for different reasons from Hogan-Rock, obviously.

I also loved Foley-Rock from Royal Rumble in 1999 (I Quit Match) and Foley vs HHH a year later. Both were brutal bloodbaths that made new stars.

Those are just a few examples of different matches that I enjoyed a great deal. But they are all different from one another, so I dont think I can sit here and say I like x, y and z in a match. I just know when I finish watching a match when its finished I can say "for me that was a good match".

I dont know if that answers anything, but thats the best I can do.
