HBK/Shelton's match on Raw
This match was the greatest singles match I've ever seen on Cable TV.
I think it shows that 1.) HBK is still one of the best and 2.) When Shelton's ready, he'll be able to main event the big shows. ![]() The Franchise |

Absolutely.
These two both put on a hell of a show. Hell, even Hebner was getting pounded. Anybody else notice that? |

Now that I think of it, I'd say that this is in the top 3 of my fav matches with Bret/HBK Iron man and RVD/Lynn @ Living Dangerously 99.

HBK is amazing. HBK over the years has lost a lot of steps in the ring, but he makes up for it with his wrestling knowledge. HBK may be the best ever.
Also Shelton is Fucking awsome |

Yet that's the hour one main event so Hunter can take the last slot for his match with (probably) Benoit.

I still prefer the Bulldog/Owen match in Germany for the euro title on Raw.
That was greatness. |

Agreed. Excellent match. I was jumping out of my seat. That SCM spot was played out perfectly.
Got Benjamin over and maintained HBKs top spot. |

HBK may get a bad rap for helping hold people down in his Kliq days, but the man sells like a maniac. He just helped Shelton's career a whole lot tonight, even though he pinned him. Shelton looked like a legit main eventer tonight.

I just love the way they're booking Shelty as the young guy with infinite reserves of energy.
That kip up spot was gold. HBK is just like "What the? But.... only I do that!!" |

I agree. This match was insanely entertaining and also helped establish Benjamin as a future main eventer. I see Benjamin main-eventing by Wrestlemania 22 or sooner.... HBK has had many matches since his return, but, this was perhaps his best. One of the few times that RAW actually provided something worthwhile and entertaining. Glad to see the storytelling aspect of wrestling hasn't been forgotten. |

Holy crap, the last time I've been this excited for a RAW is when people were talking about how good Muhammad Hassan's debut was. But people are saying this HBK/Shelton match is one of the best ever, one of the greatest in RAW's history at least.
I am pumped, and it's a shame I still have to wait some 24 hours for RAW. |

I dont know, it was very good, but it wasn't even the bet match Ive seen in the past 30 days, so I cant get overly excited about it.
I would like to see them do a PPV match though, hopefully with a different outcome. |

I hate Shelton Benjamins character but I think he is one of the best in the ring. He really impressed me in his first Raw match when he faced Triple H. And week after week he has proved that he can run with the big dogs. I think everyone knew that Benjamin Vs HBK would be a great match and now we all know.

Triple H, Jericho, HBK, this guy is hooking up with a lot of great talent.

Shelton sure comes off as a legit guy. He's been booked really well in his entire WWE career so far.

^Doesn't it get replayed in the US, LC?If it does, then watch it no matter what.We get it repeated twice in the week plus aload of highlight shows which arent worth watching really.

Shelton could be huge one day, but not if they don't let him work on his mic skills. Sure, he's atrocious right now, but I think he has alot of untapped charisma, it's just that they don't let him work the mic, I guess out of fear that he'll do terrible.

I said a while ago that Shelton is the hidden gem. His mic skills are actually good, but they write his crap for him, so he can't really be himself

I have not seen this match yet although I just saw the finish which was quality. I must admit that I was a doubter of Benjamin and his ability to make the step up but his performances since Wrestlemanin 21 have convinced me that this guy has what it takes to make that step up to the main event. If the writing team keep it up, then they could have a real star on their hands.

My previous pick for best Raw match saw HHH vs. oh guess who Shelton Benjamin.
The super-kick at the end, just holy shit. That's all I could think of, just holy shit. |
