Raven vs. William Regal

[1.0] "More of the same and here again with a low match between Raven in name of the ECW and then William Regal who just wasn't the man for someone like Raven, still good to see the Alliance of WCW and ECW gets 2, WWF 3-2 WCW/ECW. 1/10 [1/4*]"

[3.0] "Not completely awful, just sloppy and the finish doesn't help either. These guys are both better than what they put on here and Tazz coming out for the finish and giving Raven the win also isn't very great. *.5"

[2.0] "Raven actually managed to wrestle a match with "boo boo face" in which he actually won. Seriously, WWF didn't know what to do with Raven. At least Bischoff, who admittedly didn't like the character, knew there was an audience for him and tried to make him good. Regal was just Regal."

[4.0] "These two really had an uphill battle. First, there wasn't a strong babyface for fans to get behind. Second, it was obvious these two didn't have much time to prepare for the match. At many points their timing is off and moves end up looking pretty awkward. I think both of these aspects made them lose the fans. However, these two are both true pros, so many mistakes they made they recovered from quickly. The in-ring work was also very well done executed when their timing was on. Regal showed some excellent mat based work, and Raven brought some gritty moves to it. This certainly was not a good match. It definitely felt like a Raw match. But I think when you take everything into account, they did the best they could and it was still a decent showing."

[3.0] "not the best match but i was somewhat enjoying it until taz came outi have no issue with tazz but tome the ref going out to check on raven makes no sense and only went with that which just looked so fake to me personally"

[3.0] "Poor match. I feel Raven is at his best when he does hardcore matches, and Regal is usually involved in better matches than this too."

[2.0] "A bad match, which is very unfortunate considering that Raven and Regal are both great talents. But this was about as forgettable as forgettable gets."

[4.0] "The crowd was absolutely silent in this one. They didn't have anybody to root for and the stuff in the ring wasn't awful, but also didn't set seats on fire. They started going faster when they noticed that the fans didn't care, but the cause was already lost by then."

[2.0] "Nobody seemed to know when to do what, especially take it home. On top of that, some clunky stuff from two workers I generally really like. Less chemistry between performers you will struggle to find. You can bust out the Deadlock certified 10 second skip for this one. Just about anything else from these two is a better use of your time."

[2.0] "Another match that nobody seemed to care about, including the wrestlers. Pretty awful, Raven really doesn't work well without character buildup and Regal isn't a good babyface."

[2.0] "These two both have two very distnict styles, so they just ended up wrestling a weird match where they showcased no chemistry, the only positive was that they wrestled at a decent pace. Oh yeah and Taz makes an intefertence here.*"

[3.0] "Regal starts first with a clothesline then a double arm hook suplex and they battle outside. Back in, he gets 2 then dumps Raven and they brawl again. Raven takes over and a clothesline gets 2 for him back in the ring. Raven is another guy that is supposed to be evil but the fans liked him and Regal is supposed to be a good guy but the fans hate him, so it's kinda meh from the crowd. Regal suplex gets 2. Regal with a high knee but Raven rolls him up for 2. Bulldog gets 2. A sunset flip by Raven is reversed by Regal for 2. Suplex gets 2. Raven effect is blocked and he gets knocked outside, tying up the ref. Tazz sneaks in and t bones Regal so Raven can do the raven effect and get the pin. Kinda sucky."

[2.0] "Pretty shitty match. There just was nothing to see, as Raven, wish i like, and Regal, wish is a proven excellent wrestler, done less than the bare minimum. Taz intervention to end the match was the cherry on the pile of sh*t."

[3.0] "Man, this could've been great, but no one tried. Neither the bookers nor the performers. They clearly just wanted it over with."

[3.0] "Short but half-arsed attempt at making these two very different workers sort out a fast match, without rhythm and with some botches."

[3.0] "Downright awful match. What made this match so bad is that both of these guys were very good wrestlers, but it was a terrible clash of styles. It seemed like Raven wanted to wrestle Regal's technical style, and Regal wanted to be a brawler like Raven, and it made for such a terrible clunky match with a couple starts and stops as if they were trying to remember what they were supposed to do. The only redeeming quality is that it was relatively short."
