What's the best match of whatever this decade is called? I was about to have a snowflake (of the Meltz variety) binge before realising I can't think of that many stand out matches from the past 4/5 years. Doesn't matter which promotion/style/country.

 

All I can think of is Lesnar vs Cena from Summerslam, that Tanahashi vs Okada match, some of The Undertaker's Wrestlemania matches, and maybe a few Cena vs Punk matches too. Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan was awesome at (I think) last year's Royal Rumble. There's been some really good Elimination Chambers too but looking back I'm struggling to distinguish one from any of the others.

I'd say the DX vs. Legacy tag matches easily qualify. I personally preferred the Summerslam match, but all their matches were all-out wars and were a load of drama and fun.

 

Also, The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family was brilliant.

Yeah, the Wyatts/Shield from Elimination Chamber is a belter. They also had a great match on Main Event, think it was around the end of March.

Bryan/HHH from Wrestlemania is great. Punk/Cena from Money In The Bank is great and the crowd pop at the end is fantastic. Personally, I really enjoyed their match from Night of Champions 2012 which was only let down by a daft draw finish

The Shield vs Wyatt Family match on Main Event was the Tuesday after Wrestlemania, it's in my top 10 WWE matches of the year easily

Cena vs Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012

Undertaker vs Triple H at WrestleMania 27 and 28

Shield vs Wyatts at Elimination Chamber 2014

Cena vs Bryan, SummerSlam 2013

Cena vs Punk, Money in the Bank 2011

Sheamus vs Bryan, WrestleMania 28 (although you really need forum threads from the time to enjoy that one to its fullest)

There were loads of absolutely great six man tags with The Shield.

 

WWE.com have handily compiled a list of ten of the best here... http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/the-shields-10-best-six-man-tag-team-matches

 

They went undefeated for ages then ended up losing to Randy, Bryan and Kane (Team Hell No) on an episode of SmackDown in June last year. It's number nine on that list but one of my favourites for the finishing sequence and the electric pop that it got.

 

Poor quality video, but you can watch it here:

The trouble with all those fifteen-minute Shield matches is that they did the same thing so many times due to lazy WWE writing, they all blurred into one murk of nothing. WWE's current curse is good action that nobody could possibly care about. Apart from their debut TLC match and the one with the Wyatts, then the two with Evolution, I don't remember many specific Shield six-man matches at all. The one at WrestleMania this year as well, because it was quick. The one where Bryan beat them on Smackdown I suppose, but even then, I can't really remember the match and I'm not 100% sure I even remember Bryan's partners -- I think it was Kane and Orton.

What offices did Vince run things from before Titan Tower? Did he just work out of his big house, or did they rent in NY or work on entirely on the road or what? And are there any pics out there of the first WWE home base before then? Cheers.

I'm almost sure I read that Wolff was trying to force Vince out and get his showbiz crew (MTV execs) into running the WWF. Wolff was actively recruiting people behind Vince's back too. It's why the Freebirds came in. Can't have went down well with Vince.

That's where Titan Towers is now, Rick.

 

I'm guessing that's been updated since, as it refers specifically to WWE, too. I'm sure the Entertainment suffix wasn't even dreamt of back in 83.
