Does this conclude the Stacy Keibler pregnancy angle in WCW?

It's a very good match, I don't think a classic but very good, especially for TV. Of course Taker is my favorite wrestler and ladder matches are my favorite gimmick matches so it's hard for me not to like it. Benoit and Jericho had an awesome ladder match at the Royal Rumble the year before that I thought was even better. The Hardy's, Dudley's and E & C ladder matches from 2000-2001 are still some of my favorite matches of all time.

I'm not one of those that believe a match has to be technical and mat based to be good but that particular match i feel was a little overrated.

I can definitely see why. Not that many big spots for that type of match, wasn't particularly fast paced and honestly I never was in doubt that Taker would win. I think if it was a PPV match it wouldn't be as highly regarded.

The last true must see classic match in wrestling to me was Angle vs. HBK at WM21

The thing with that match was more the emotional investment in the characters than the actual spectacle of the match itself. Going in to that match no one though Hardy had any chance of beating Taker. Everyone expected a one sided squash. Yet by the end of it, they sucked you in to where you actually believed Hardy was going to win. That's why that match is remembered so fondly. It was the emotional investment the match brought out, not the technical brilliance. Kind of like Hogan-Andre, just less epic.

TNA:
Sharmel has nice tits.
Karen Angle has nice tits.
Who's tits are bigger, Selena or Traci Brooks?

Velvet Sky is hot, but Angelina Love should have received the title shot.

Get rid of the Super Eric gimmick.
Booker is a better heel than face.

I always thought that match was overrated. HBK-Flair was much better to me. There have been a lot of great matches in the last few years but I'm not sure how many I would call classic. I really enjoyed the Shelton Benjamin-HBK match on Raw in 05 I actually thought Shelton was going to take that match,
