In Lesnars defense, I fyou have ever sen any of his earlier work like OVW where he sucessfully pulls off the shooting star press it looks freaking amazing to see a guy his size do it. The problem was WWE wanted to save it for a special event like Wrestlemania which was oll and all but they didnt take into ccount the muscle mass he put on durring his WWE run and the fact that since they were saving the big move for mania he didnt get a chance to practise it on house shows and such so he was rusty, and it was just a mis calculation that lead to a really bad memorable botch. Here's a video of Brock pulling the move off succesfully. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r32kaZifKHA

It is pretty damn impressive to see a guy that size doing it. He kinda somersaults, it's unique. It's too bad he botched it at Mania --- if he'd hit it, MAN, that would have been one of the all-time great moments in wrestling.
I really dig Brock. Had a lot of great matches with lots of different talent, and he really came into his own as a great heel during the end of his run. It's unfortunate that he got so much so soon... there wasn't a lot left for him to do after that and his heart clearly wasn't in it.
Of course Flair was 16 time world champion but hey.

D'oh I just remembered another horrid match - Undertaker vs Big Bossman in a Hell in a Cell at Wrestlemania. The all time worst HIAC match ever lol I remember actually gettting up and goign to grab something to eat during this match. Madness. And who can forget Dennis Rodman vs Randy Savage? Oooooh yeah that sucked!

That was freakin' awesome!
Anyway. From a wrestling stand point - Hogan/Warrior at WM VI (I think it was). Half an hour long and about a dozen moves, including a botched military press.
Recent memory, the extreme elimination chamber.
Anything with Jeff Jarrett.
Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe, mainly because it was cut short.
John Cena/Umaga.
What, my memory is like a sieve.

After watching the TNA PPV last night I have to add the following matches to my list.......
Sting vs Abyss vs Christian - While I'm happy Christian is champ again the match was atrocious. Abyss jobbed out in like the first five minutes lol.
LAX vs Team 3D - Without Konnan around LAX seems to be lacking something. However they still remain my favorite tag team. But the match was fugly.

Final Res worth watching or no?
I dunno Hogan/Warrior was pretty great, good atmosphere and one of each man's better match. I can see how it would be boring though.
Undertaker vs Undertaker ranks up there as Worst Main Event Ever. Especially after it followed a ****1/2 star cage match between Bret and Owen. It was like everything right in wrestling followed by everything that was wrong.

Hogan/Yokozuna. Just because they had to take the title off Bret to make it happen, then Hogan never did finish the angle as planned (which gave us "Real American" Lex Luger instead...)
speaking of bad main events:
Luger vs Yokozuna: Luger gets pumped up for months as the next big thing, and then the huge match happens... and Luger wins by DQ?

Count out. DQ would have been less frustrating - you can body slam him, but you can't pick him up and roll his fat ass in the ring?

Luger choked at how many main event title matches again?
Undertaker vs Yokozua. Everytime, specifically the casket match where nine guys beat Taker and then he "rose" from the casket. Ugh. Really anything relating to the eventual UnderFaker.
Kevin Nash vs Goldberg was pretty awful. Nash is the one to end Goldberg's streak. Whoopee doo. Goldberg never recovered, WCW had something special in him (whatever your later opinion is), almost handed to them, and they couldn't capitalize. For a while Goldberg's popularly was rivalling Austin's... then... ffft.
