WWE was irate and Flair got in big, big trouble for this. He was all set to sign a new deal and they yanked it off the table.

Sami Zayn vs Antonio Cesaro 2 out of 3 falls match

 

[SuperKevin]

Wow that match was great. Call up Zayn NOW!

Most underrated part I think is Alex Riley on commentary. I think he's a keeper

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

The four best workers in WWE right now are Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, El Generico, and Claudio Castagnoli.

Nobody should be surprised, but just let that sink in.

Also, TNA had YEARS to try to get these guys & others like Ambrose, PAC, etc while WWE was dicking off with models & bodybuilders. I know not all of them would have gone to TNA, but by all accounts they never bothered to try. Shit, they DID have Punk and let him slip away.

Warner, I may steal your tweet and write a piece about August 13 being the best wrestling month ever.

Thief!

I need to see the ROH shows, and at that point I will have seen ALL THE MATCHES.

I made THIS POST a month ago...

Would I be off base or out of line to say that the Top 5 workers (in no order) in the WWE right now are...

Daniel Bryan
Antonio Cesaro
Sami Zayn
CM Punk
Dean Ambrose

?

TNA gives no fucks about anyone on the comeup.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I'd swap Christian for Ambrose, but the point remains. Everybody dropped the ball on these guys 7 years ago. They were ready then.

 

[SuperKevin]

I'd place Ziggler on that fringe top 5 as well

I like Ziggler...he's got the ability to be...but he has not been put into a position to do so. He's been working with Del Rio, Big E, Jack Swagger this year...you just aren't getting much out of those guys.

I would have liked to see him work more with Jericho when he was still in town...I would have loved to see Christian beat Del Rio for the title and have a little Ziggler/Christian program...maybe see them get a good 12+ at a pay per view in the mid-card. He's just not putting together the string of match quality that a lot of these guys have...I mean, if you look at the best matches in the WWE this year...odds are good, you will see them involving Bryan, Punk, Cesaro, Zayn, Ambrose, Christian, Cena, Jericho.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Ambrose has cooled off. He'll end up with half a year of great stuff, half a year of mediocre. His US Title run is pretty mediocre. Same boat as Ziggler, as Shield push faded thanks to the other two idiots, so did his match time and card placement.

I don't disagree.

On my LIST...I've got a few Shield matches in there, so, it needs to be stated.

Don't really have a Ziggler match. What was his best one, that Del Rio match at Payback?

Ziggler had some good matches on RAW

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

He's had some good matches, just nothing that stands out. Hence, why you didn't name any...

:truestory:

I like Ziggler...he's just not hot right now and they aren't putting him into a position to be as good as he can be. I just think there are a few guys that are better than Ziggler...the usual obvious ones, and I'll throw Cena ahead of Ziggler until Ziggler has at least one match that would crack a Cena Top 10.

Happened as soon as they put the straps on them. They've essentially stopped defending them. It's happened.......maybe twice for each belt? Same with Curtis Axel. The belt isn't going to keep getting the guys over if they aren't fighting to defend it.

And now they are likely to drop at least one of the belts and be involved in the McMahons/Danielson storyline and definitely face losing all of their steam.

I think Rollins & Reigns have had good matches with The Uso's.

But you are right, Ambrose went right downhill in the match department when he got the belt. And you called it when it happened, so credit to you.

They did, it was a great feud. But that's just one in the months they've held it. Even if they put random guys together like Show and Mark Henry, it's still better then defending nothing.

The funny thing is, I am going to bet that they give the Wyatt family the same treatment. Maybe not Harper and Rowan as tag champs (those would be some awful matches) but I am sure the US title goes to Bray Wyatt.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I'm over The Wyatt's. They suck.
