The Undertaker vs The Big Show - Last Man Standing - Cyber Sunday 2008

Cyber Sunday was a PPV I only saw parts of because I was channel hopping, and I liked this but didn´t think it was anything special. But watching it now in full.... God, I LOVED this match so much. One of the best slugfests I´ve ever seen, so much brutality, personality and incredible selling. I am convinced Show is the best big man worker ever, show me another 500lb guy who takes a rolling DDT bump full-on on the neck. This was a great exercise in less-is-more, Show only went down twice before the finish and both times it felt like the most important turning point in Undertaker´s life. Taker was off the charts here, just selling to a ridiculous level and making Show look like a world beater. Soooo many great moments and highlights throughout, like Taker rope running to put more force behind his punches, Taker sitting on his ass with his fists raised telling Show to bring it on, Show calming watching Taker get up for an epic near fall to then have the expression of "time for you to die old man" and calmly grabbing a chair, and I could go on. Favourite part was probably Taker on his knees, totally out of it, wildly jabbing at Show´s jaw only for Show to angrily yell "NO" at him and headbutt him back down to the groud. Finish was also PERFECT and great on many levels. I won´t be afraid to say this is my second favourite WWE match from last year. Incredible stuff.

I must of saw a different Taker/Show match because the one I saw was boring as hell and had horrible timing issues.

We probably have different tastes and views on whats "boring".

The only timing issue I can recall was Taker getting up a little slow for one count on the outside.

A little slow? The ref had to keep slowing his count every time Taker was down. It became a comedy match.

It happened once and it wasn't really that noticable. It didn't kill the heat or momentum or anything so it was pretty minor.

Did you like their other matches? I can't remember how many they had exactly but there was at least one more on PPV.

It made me find the match even more horrible than it already was up to that point. Personally, I preferred Kane vs Rey Mysterio to this match.

Yeah Tom, I liked their No Mercy match a lot and they had a match on Smackdown this year that was short but good.

Jim, what didn't you like about it? The fact it was mostly punches?

They also had a casket match at Survivor Series, but I only recall the finish.

I hated it because it bored me, didn't have any real drama and was too obviously preplanned. I don't have any problem with a match being mainly all punches as long as the drama is there. Jerry Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich from Superclash 3 was mainly punches, yet I was glued to my screen.
