Yes, it's long and it could probably stand to lose the odd thing here or there on balance, but it's just so easy to watch. Perfect balance of enjoyable midcard filler and stunning marquee stuff, hitting every right note in between. <br /><br /><br />If 20 wasn't so swollen (ooh err!) it'd probably give X7 a run for its money and then some. As the show stands, it's just *way* too long, with way too much stuff on it; even matches that would pass for passable crap on another PPV are just brutal to get through. I never, ever sit down to watch the thing now (despite it being home to one of my favourite matches of all time).LiquidDisc37noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-30449659497501832642014-08-27T04:40:27.872-06:002014-08-27T04:40:27.872-06:00Great.

They aren't always the greatest wrestling wise, but the big crowds and high energy level does make the shows more fun. I particularly line the June 9, 1997 show -- the first one they did at the Fleet Center. It has one of those early, very elaborate Sting entrances that the crowd just pops out of their minds for.nwa88noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-86835056738442269262014-08-26T23:53:15.063-06:002014-08-26T23:53:15.063-06:00If only Cena hadn't refused to JOB.If only Cena hadn't refused to JOB.Justin Starknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-85680010008946331342014-08-26T23:52:42.988-06:002014-08-26T23:52:42.988-06:00I think the HBK match did more for him than the Ta...I think the HBK match did more for him than the Taker matches that year.
