All the Stampede stuff I've seen has been fairly recently through DVD's, so I really wouldn't say that I was a nostalgia freak, but I'd still rate any of the Bret/Dynamite matches against HHH/Orton at WM25.

HHH/Orton seems worse than it was just because its been done to death and there's no reason to care about it because neither guy is the level of worker that can keep an audience interested.

If anybody here is planning on going to a Randy Orton autograph signing and want to experience some of his IED, maybe you should print this picture and ask him to sign it

That's pretty easy to say since HHH/Orton wasn't good at all. The match they had on RAW yesterday was about 100 times better and even that was mediocre.

I recently bought the Best of the British Bulldogs from Japan. It's amazing to watch them, especially Dynamite back then.

The matches are from 1985 (just before going to WWE) & 1989 (just after leaving the WWE). God watching Dynamite I can't help but compare him to Benoit. It's uncanny how similar trhey are. Too bad we can't talk about Benoit anymore.

But if you can get your hands on any vintage Dynamite stuff, you should.

That's my point Scott. HHH/Orton wasn't very good, but not very much of what the E puts out is.

Is superstars just gonna be matches, or is there storyline elements to it as well?

Thus far its been matches with storyline implications, such as the winner of a Christian-Finlay match getting an ECW title shot, and matches used to further storylines like Taker-Matt Hardy involving Jeff.

Actually, the 'E has been putting on some really fine matches since the latter half of last year. It was down a bit from early-to-mid '08, but since No Mercy, they've been consistently putting out some real quality matches almost every single week.

So again, I have to disagree.
