No winners, we are just having a laugh. So this weekUKFFer's In FilmsSo basically, come up with an existing film title, modify it to relate it to a ukffer abd the post the picture, featuring said UKFFer if you must. Hopefully should be a bit of fun.Enjoy :/

    Bret Hart or Kurt Angle

    I'd have to go with Angle.He is more entertaining, plain and symple. Brets character seemed very one dimensional, although he was good on the mic his interviews and promos were really always very similar and based along the same line everytime. Though this may not be his fault, it still affects the character for me and character wise Angle takes it.The in Ring stuff of Angle also constantly keeps me entertained where as sometimes Brets stuff dragged a little. Again this may be because I was a lot younger when I watched Brets good stuff where as Angle is more recent to me.Controversial comment time: I am also yet to see Kurt Angle refuse to job to anyone!

    HBK: 'From the Vault'

    I haven't actually seen the DVD, but I agree with almost all of the comments on the matches. Only thing I disagreed with was the comment about the Bret/Shawn Iron Man match not being a patch on the Rock/Triple H Iron Man match. I was definitely let down by the Bret/Shawn match after all the build up, but I found the Rock/Trips one to be really dull and to this day is the only PPV main event I've nodded off during (albeit it only for 5-10 minutes). That's just opinion though.

    Could that be because of the one hour time limit as apposed to the action though.The Rock/HHH benifited more from the fact that each guy was willing to put the other over. If indeed it was the case that neither Michaels or Bret would not give the other a fall then that is bad on both of their parts. This was probibally the biggest match up until that point and it would probibally be considered the better of the two if indeed there had been a few falls here and there to break it up.

    His matches were invariably excellent, he had charisma in abundance and had mic skills to rival the best talkers around

    huh? Michaels was never that good on the mic.

    there is no escaping that HBK was the 'Showstopper' and the one man who was guranteed to have a good match everytime he stepped into a wrestling ring.

    That's just wrong.

    There was some psychology and the story telling was logical with both men working over the body parts on the mat early on

    Yeah, but the problem was that the body part work went nowhere, and neither guy sold it.

    This match was more of a testament to Michaels ability than anything else, as he entered a typically flawless performance en route to carrying Diesel to the best match of his career

    Yet you only rated it ** (although that rating isn't too far from the truth). At Survivor Series 95 Bret Hart got a better, smarter match out of Nash than Shawn ever did.

    Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker Hell in a Cell****1/2

    That match is not that good. It's basically a squash for 30 minutes. Taker sells nothing, not even Shawn's finisher. Michaels ridiculously oversells every move Taker does to him, and the finish is absurd. It's a fun match, but it wasn't a MOTYC.

    Shawn Michaels vs Triple Hwith the focus being on the rivalry and history between the two men, as well as Michaels' back, with HHH working it over effectively for a large portion of the contest.

    Yep, and Shawn no-selling it, thus rendering it pointless.

    ****1/2

    No way. It was really dull in spots when it seemed like nothing was happening. Then HHH worked the back which gave the match some direction then Shawn kip-ups, no-sells and it's superman comeback time. It's OK, but it's not great.
    And i suppose Vince and Shawn screwd Bret?That is a perfect review and again its honest, the Iron Man match wasn't that hot but the ending was great, it says that in the review. I agree with pretty much everything thats been said in that review but is there really rumours of a second one?
