15-Year-Old Wrestling Thread is STOKED That Shawn Michaels Kicked It in the Face

[TheNextNolan22]

I'll take on an ending like that with Bryan looking strong over him losing cleanly like he did last night.

Triple Threat Match @ Royal Rumble: Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Daniel Bryan

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If anything, Cena looked the worst and he can still handle it. Nice ending to Raw for sure.

 

[The End]

That was amazing!

Bryan seems determined to make every match he's in nothing short of 5 stars and this match in particular was just sooo good.

 

[runawayboulder]

I have a feeling Bryan will always be a Macho Man, to a much lesser extent, type guy. He'll get a small run with the belt and always be kept near the top, but he will never get a lengthy run as the top guy.

Really because as over as he is as a face right now I think he could easily be that go to guy for the company with all the various charities.

If we are looking at a WM30 main event of Orton/Cena/Bryan I wonder if we are looking at a potential co-Rumble winner a la Luger/Bret...?

I still want to see Punk involved for the mother of all Fatal 4-Ways though.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Fantastic match, I'd say it was the best one they have had even with the finish. I also think the finish made sense as Bryan couldn't lose but neither could Orton on his first night as undisputed champion.

I wonder if they are foreshadowing Mania or the Rumble with the triple threat tease.

In fairness to Lance, he made that comment when pointing out what a casual fan said when watching it. I think there is an argument to be made to how he connects with the casual audience versus the devoted WWE fans that attend the shows.

I'm not saying I agree necessary, just that there is another side.

Unfortunately we'll never know since WWE will not give Bryan the ball

One casual fan though, WWE can only go off the merch and crowd responses and he's not just over in the smark towns, it's everywhere that is going crazy for him, so to change that look to a generic one would be a mistake IMO, it's the fact he doesn't have a cookie cutter look that is part of his appeal. Non conformity is Bryan's ally.

I can't imagine Bryan not winning the title in the next few months, WWE can't be stubborn enough to ignore these responses.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Love Triple Threats, Fatal 4-Ways just don't work for me.

 

[The Sage]

That's kinda the problem with him though. He has to rely on others to up his game for him. He's not the kind of guy who raises the game of any of the other wrestlers he faces.

A good chunk of main-eventers have been that way, so it's not a major deal.

I have a feeling Bryan will always be a Macho Man, to a much lesser extent, type guy. He'll get a small run with the belt and always be kept near the top, but he will never get a lengthy run as the top guy.

But what's a lengthy run? 3 months? 6 months? Savage's first reign lasted 371 days.

Orton/Cena rematch at RR while D-Bry wins the Rumble,Orton retains in the Elimination Center similar to Triple in that chamber match with Goldberg then a 3 way at Mania...with hopefully Daniel winning the title

 

[SpideyFan866]

Wrestlemania is definitely looking like this:

WWE World title: Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Daniel Bryan

CM Punk vs Triple H

Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar

How about put Punk in the title match, and leave Hunter off the card.

 

[Superark]

That was amazing!

Bryan seems determined to make every match he's in nothing short of 5 stars and this match in particular was just sooo good.

He is absolutely a special talent. I don't think there is a wrestler today who can touch him in the ring.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Really does look like they're building towards a Triple Threat for the belt at Mania with Orton/Cena/Bryan. You really do get that big match feel to it. Before tonight, I said I didn't want Orton in the main event of WM30, especially with Cena involved. After that performance tonight, I actually wanna see(hypocrite I know ). So the potential 3 main events for WM30 IMO:
Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Daniel Bryan
Triple H vs CM Punk
Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

That's kinda the problem with him though. He has to rely on others to up his game for him. He's not the kind of guy who raises the game of any of the other wrestlers he faces.

I don't find that to be a problem when he's going up against good talent in the main event (except when he's paired with Cena because their pace is pretty slow).

 

[The Sage]

I'm starting to think Bryan is to Orton what CM Punk is to Cena.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

How about put Punk in the title match, and leave Hunter off the card.

I hope that too. Put Punk in that main event. Let's get a four way, especially when you consider that Cena works best with Punk, and Orton has shown to work best with Bryan.

 

[The Sage]

Oh I'd be cool with that too. But no way Hunter won't be on the card.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I'm starting to think Bryan is to Orton what CM Punk is to Cena.

Both pretty much have become that. Bryan brings the best out of Orton the same way Punk brings the best out of Cena.

 

[Specter313]

I hope that too. Put Punk in that main event. Let's get a four way, especially when you consider that Cena works best with Punk, and Orton has shown to work best with Bryan.

It certainly offers interesting possibilities and pairings. Like they have their typical match ups during it like you said, but at some point, Punk and Orton go at it while Bryan and Cena do the same, then at another we have Punk and Bryan going at it which could be a real showstopper part of the match.

As much as I don't want to see Orton/Cena wrestle each other again, this is the only logical way I see this turning out. You can still also have Punk and D-Bry as the last two in the Rumble with Bryan winning and I guess as a "consolation prize" would be to face HHH and that would obviously go to Punk.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Bryan vs Cena vs Orton at the Rumble, Bryan wins the title and Punk wins the Rumble!

I'm starting to think Bryan is to Orton what CM Punk is to Cena.

Good call.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

then at another we have Punk and Bryan going at it which could be a real showstopper part of the match.

Which draws away attention from Cena and Orton.

I could that happening with Trips screwing Punk like distracting him at ringside while Daniel drop kicks him or the ropes

Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar.

Yeah, they're threading needle for the top 2.

I still don't know how I feel about CM Punk vs Triple H. It's Mania worthy of course, but I feel like it's two years late and Punk should get his headlining moment. It doesn't look like they're willing to let both Bryan and Punk occupy that spot at the same time. And you can't be mad at them for not riding Bryan's momentum.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Bryan vs Cena vs Orton at the Rumble, Bryan wins the title and Punk wins the Rumble!

WWE isn't competent enough to do that, sadly.
