I think that's a bit revisionist, if you don't mind me saying. Sure he is a very very good worker but he's had just as much **** matches as he has had excellent ones. For the ****, watch (or don't) Summerslam 94. For the excellent, it's Shawn Michaels last year or previous.

Ok ok, let me qualify what I meant there. For the last 7-5 years he has been consistantly good. Everyone has bad matches.

I don't recall who his opponent was for SM 94, was it Giant Gonzales? Undertaker is an absolute beast, and most of WWE have said their best ever matches were against him. True, he's getting old, but he brings out the absolute best in his 'opponents'. Has done for a long time! (just check my avatar & see what I think about Taker)

I'm pretty sure summerslam 94 was Taker against the fake Taker. Or was that 95?

I was talking pure wrestling ability. Triple H cant wrestle that well compared to those guys. He can do it well. But those 4 were the best of the modern era.

alex i agree mostly with what you are sayin and taker does put on good shows but i dont think he has the pure wrestling ability of the others you mention yet i think HHH does have the ability also alot of wrestlers will say HHH not only is that good but goes out of his way to make the other wrestlers look good which is also a skill in itself thats why he is the game....anyway if the rock is back i will start watching again allthough i cant see it ever being the same as when it was the rock ...stone cold... angle..HHH...shawn...taker...jericho....edge&chris tian..etc etc...good times eh

You could very well be right. Sure was a World Cup year, probably didn't see it myself anyway!

It was WrestleMania 9 from the outdoor Caesars palace where taker faced the horrendous Giant Gonzalez.

On the contrary. Triple H does his best to bury ANY talent around him. He's more detestable than Cena in that sense. There was a period around 2004-07 (without the crappy DX ****) where he would just annihilate anything around him. Triple H is not one to make someone else look good. The best in the business currently in putting someone over are Angle, Bryan (he made DiBiase, Ziggler, Miz look terrific) and Jericho (once he returns)

Never say never in wrestling. Sable sued Vince and she still got a job in 2003. If there was one guy they'd take from TNA, it would be him over anyone else. He can deliver an excellent promo and is one of the best workers in the business, providing he lays off the prescriptions. Yeah, I like Christian. Very solid performer and seems to have the crowd in the palm of his hand. Vince has never been convinced on him which is a shame. His best work was with Cena and Jericho before he left in 2004, I think and that was for a title building feud.

Having a wee laugh to myself when I was reading the last couple of posts and remembered papa Shango? And kumala? kumala? Kumala is a wine so I might have got the name wrong.
