HM: Lex Luger vs Hulk Hogan from 4/8 would go MOTY but Hogan took too much of the match IMO.

I'll go with MOTY for Luger/Hogan because while Hogan took control too much, it was worth it to set up the incredible false finish.

Just watched it. Got to what I thought was the finish and then went "eh, it's an HM at best." But that wasn't the finish. It kept going. And it went into holy poo poo territory.

MOTYC indeed.

ehh, I think the first match was more memorable. I do understand what you're saying with the storytelling in the match.Kidd was trying to do absolutely anything to win the match but his wife getting in the way for the sake of his morale. But I think that and the false finish hurt the match IMO. Still a fun match worth the watch though.

I'll third it. I liked it better than the first match between them and quite liked the storytelling, it made good use of a valet which is rare. Psychology was lacking, but it's two flippy fuckers, who cares about psychology. Bunch of nice spots too.

I'd just give an HM to the triple threat out of Slammiversary. I actually enjoyed the show a lot overall, though.
