The Q
Hoop’s Villain, Reality’s Hero
I know we've got some good old school talk in here before. Figure this could be a fun one.
What is a match that the general public thought was good that you know was overrated?
I'll lead off with HBK/Diesel at WM11.
First of all, it was a terrible card, so the fact that this was the only decent match on the card gave it a nice bump...the comparisons were awful. So it only SEEMED to be that much better.
Two. It was pretty slow paced and showed very little strategy minus a couple of rib shots by HBK after Diesel messed up after the idiot camera guy got in the way.
Three. Too much celebrity stuff and multiple cameramen got in the way of the match.
Four. Ridiculous finish with Sid giving HBK his advantage and then the Hebner getting hurt thing. HBK hitting the mat was also ridiculous.
And the closing argument. The fans were chanting "Sid!" during the world title bout, at a wrestlemania...and Sid was the damn bodyguard.
The crowd was pretty quiet during this one.
And the fact that this got match of the year over Bret/Diesel at 95 survivor series is an abomination. That was a clinic on big/little matchups with no holds barred.
