Good story-telling.










...but seriously, I want some kind of intensity from a match. Obviously I can enjoy matches just on the wrestling alone, but for a match to be great in my eyes, I need to understand the wrestlers characters and I need to buy into their situation. I have always enjoyed personal feuds more than the others, because I think the psychology can be great when you have two guys who hate each other engaging in a no limits brawl. I want to see realistic emotion in matches I guess. A lot of title matches now don't seem that big of a deal because although the belt is on the line, the depth of the feud and the interaction between the stars as characters as well as wrestlers just isn't there.

Also, matches like HBK/Taker really do it for me. Nothing beats surprising and innovative counters, shocking near falls, finishers hit out of nowhere etc. That sort of stuff just has me on the edge of my seat and that match had it in abundance.
