Newbie (1/14)

  1. This looks like a good show on paper but its been so long since they've done a HIAC match without interference bs.
  2. Bryan was as big of a ratings and buyrates draw as anybody else in 2013-14. Summerslam 2013 and WM30 did really good numbers, and his Raw segments were often the highest rated during this time period. It's just unfortunate that he got injured early in his WWE champion run.
  3. It something the WWE wouldn't consider, but would a Reigns and Ambrose tag title run work right now? Let them run through Show/Kane, New Day and Ascencion to get a title shot. Give them long workrate matches with Cesaro/Kidd, Usos and Lucha Dragons so Reigns can get some smark cred and Ambrose can have focus and win matches again. Feud them with Sheamus/Barrett and Wyatt/Harper. Hell, just call them the Shield again. Then they can drop the titles to an upcoming team like Balor/Itami and be the final 2 in the Rumble, with Reigns winning. Reigns stays away from the world title picture for 10 months and a rematch with Brock or Rollins is completely fresh.
  4. Cesaro isn't a great promo but he is charismatic and had a great connection with the crowd throughout the first 3 months of the year, before they paired him with Heyman. If Vince thinks he lacks charisma and doesn't connect with crowds then maybe he didn't watch Wrestlemania this year.
  5. Nakamura generally does a lot better in CMLL and the British indys than Tanahashi, from what I've seen. More over and also has better matches.
  6. Tier 3 AJ Styles vs Kyle O Reilly ROH 9/13/14 Briscoes vs Young Bucks ROH 9/13/14 Randy Orton vs Chris Jericho WWE 9/21/14 Kushida vs Taguchi NJPW 9/21/14 Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Katsuyori Shibata NJPW9/21/14 Rhodes Brothers vs Usos WWE 9/27/14
  7. Fantastic list. I would just add the Eddie Kingston match from Chikara in 2010, a 2011 Superstars match against Regal and the gauntlet against the Wyatts in 2013 that had a really great portion vs Harper.
  8. Bryan had only been a main event ace for a couple months before he got injured, but you could take out him and Punk and add Austin Aries, Sami Callihan and Sheamus.
  9. When the PTP were together I always thought Darren was the better worker. They had some really good C-Show matches with the Usos in which Darren came off like the better FIP and the better hot tag guy too. Titus is obviously more charismatic and has gotten better now but I can't place him as one of the best in the world because there are plenty of guys in WWE who even have a better track record of short matches than him - Sheamus, Cesaro, Goldust, Bryan, Usos, Big Show, Henry. I do hope he gets to be more than a 2 minute comedy match guy on Raw though.
  10. He hasn't always been portrayed as an underdog in his WWE run. There's the heel run in 2012 and even in 2013-14 he's had a lot of matches where he goes on long stretches of offense - the Bray Wyatt match at Royal Rumble, TV matches with Randy Orton and at Summerslam where he was just going after Cena's arm and KO'd him decisively. There was a Rollins match on Smackdown in which Bryan just ran through his moveset and demolished Seth in like 7 minutes. Compared to most Cena or Rey matches, Bryan definitely tends to get more offense in.
  11. Unfortunately Nakamura was quite boring throughout the 2000s. He's had MOTYCs in the last couple of years but even now he can be hit or miss. The Ishii match from the G1 was dissapointing.

    Kurt Angle

    Probably the dumbest thing I've seen on an Angle match was Shane McMahon one-upping him on the mat in their street fight, but that might not have been Angle's idea. But I always liked him to varying degrees in 2000-06 so I will consider him.

    Mark Henry

    Henry is very very good at the little things, is a great seller and his charisma adds a lot to his matches. I agree that simply having a lot of great long matches isn't the most important criteria, but there are a bunch of wrestlers nominated that do the things Henry does just as well and they do have a longer list of great matches. Let's see how his next 1.5 years play out. I do feel like he's right up there with OMG and Boss Man though.
  14. The last four years really hurt his case and I'm not sure if his 2000-03 and 2008-09 were that great that he warrants serious top 100 all-time consideration.

    CM Punk

    A lot of his indie stuff hasn't aged well, but I'm still a fan of the series with Joe. I agree that he's had plenty of great matches and feuds in WWE to warrant a spot. What were his best two year periods, 2009-10 or 2011-12?
