After watching this week's Raw and the Fatal 4 Way PPV, I have been left wandering why the hell I even what WWE anymore. Maybe I'm turning into one of those people who tell you that music in the 60s was better than it is now, because WWF/E used to put on some awesome matches. Then I think about some of the matches that TNA/ROH/PWG are putting out at the moment, and then I realise I'm not being nostalgic, some of the best matches I've ever seen have happened over the past 5 years, it's just WWE that has gone shit. I think it was the screwjob of Danielson on NXT, and then firing him for working an angle which has pushed WWE over the line for me. Of course, when the kids are chanting 'we love Cena' at any house show they can, when they're the ones buying the merchandise and pestering their mums and dads for them to buy the next PPV, you can see why dumbing down is seen as a good business decision. Shame.Anyway, I'm coming across as one of those bitter people who rant about stuff they haven't a clue about on the internet, and I'm really not. Just to prove it I'm going to share one of my favourite matches. Now if you're a new WWE fan, you might not like it, but this will be because you're not used to watching decent wrestling. Any fan over the age of 25 will have fond memories of wrestling in the 890s, and most of the time it is just nostalgia talking, but Shawn Michaels versus Razor Ramone at Summerslam 95 is awesome, and set the groundwork for pro-wrestling since.
It's weird watching this match again and realizing that Scott Hall didn't always waddle to ring or get out of breath when climbing into the ring. Anyway, enjoy!
Rose-tinted specs or not, this match is awesome
