Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Probably a contraversal one, but how about Canadian Stampede. Great Main event tag, but the rest wasn't great.  Taker/Vader was so, so.  The Taka match wasn't really my Bag of Rice.  And the Helmesly/Mankind match was only ever a set-up to their awesome cage match at Sumerslam.  There was also a dark match with the Godwinns and Blackjacks which was below par. Canadian Stampede is in the top 2 PPV's they've ever produced. Taker/Vader is excellent, the cruiser match is arguably the best in the company's history, Mankind/Hunter is a very good match and the main event is phenomonal. If you like snowflakes, the average for the PPV is about 4****, which is simply astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingersplash Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 For me, a show that will always go down as being remembered for one thing and thing only, I'll have to say Armageddon 2006, I even had to go back and check the card as aside from the Tag team 4 way ladder match I couldn't remember a single other match on the show. I am not saying the rest of the card was terrible (as I can't remember if it was or not) but this has one match show written all over it. I did think of this, that Ladder Match was so good. I remember the Kane/MVP Inferno Match that kicked off the show being good as well though. Â yeah i agree, armageddon 2006 started with that inferno match, then had the 4 way ladder bout and then i think they had the boogeyman vs miz and it went downhill from there. the main event if i recall correctly was finlay and booker t vs cena and batista and was a tv or even house show type match and nobody expected any other result than a cena/batista win. Â but the show had 2 good bouts so it cant count. but it was close i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like snowflakes, the average for the PPV is about 4****, which is simply astounding.  I continue to be amazed at the love this event gets, i've mentioned it a few times but it always gets brought up as being wonderful. I thought the 3 undercard matches were very good and here's where I differ in that i thought the main event was just good, it's been a while so I might like it more 2nd time round but I just remember it being a pretty standard multi-man tag match with a hot crowd. Also and again I may be alone I find it hard to call a 4 match card the greatest anything. It just doesn't seem right personally, I'm funny with amounts of matches on a card though, I like more rather than less, obviously not too many so nothing gets any time.  I think there are many events down the years where if you picked 4 matches out and chopped out the rest it would seem as brilliant and equally if there had been other matches on here that weren't so great it may not have been viewed as it is. What i'm basically saying is that it doesn't seem a full event. Having said all this I think it's one of those where i'll always be confused at the love it gets and people will of course still love it as much as they do.   Also Armageddon 2006 had a very good last ride match and a good cruiser match I thought as well as the other matches mentioned. A top event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since I've seen them but I remember liking the Hair match and the Lion's Den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted February 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 That main event was a massive disappointment compared to what it could and should have been. A brilliant, long, and episodic build and a match that didn't do it justice. The build and angle is one of my favourite things in wrestling but the match was nothing special. It was probably severely hurt by Austin getting knocked loopy in the early moments. There's an interview with Austin after the event and it's clear as day he's not happy with the match.
