    Yep, those two are literally the worst two options. Having said that, I'd take Rollins over Ziggler.

    That's it for Naito then? Disappointing since he is the most over and, IMO, the best wrestler in the company. But he makes whatever he is given work so I'm not too worried.

    Very interesting match. Slow build but psychology wise it was sound. But then it escalates into a fight as Saito unleashes Inoki's fury. Inoki snapping and pounding a handcuffed Saito into a bloody pulp was quite the finishing stretch. ***1/2

    Really good psychology-based match. Inoki desperately trying to fight Murdoch off only for Murdoch to drag him to the ground by the injured arm was the highlight. The finish was botched but that doesn't take away from the stuff that preceded it. ***3/4

    This was hugely disappointing. The initial portion was really fun and Naito's selling was generally good but the most of the match was just bland. Felt like a generic Ambrose WWE match. **1/4

    The women's tag title change was also sort of out of the blue. It happened on TV 6 days before the #2 event of the year with close to no build after some of the competitors had not been featured for weeks. Their scheduling seems all over the place.

    Minimalist mat clinic with a lot of attention to detail. Way better than the more highly acclaimed match they had the year after. ****3/8

    Aggressive, hateful, bloody brawling and a compact layout. Another great mid-2000s Nagata match. ****

    The build to this feud has been dominating the weeks leading up to Summerslam but the payoff is going to be after Summerslam in all probability. Shouldn't they hold off on this and focus on the stuff happening at Summerslam first?

    Good match with the 3 distinct approaches coming together, cool spots and stiffness. Joe's out of control dive was the highlight. But yeah this was hampered by the usual triple threat layout and some parts were repetitive and aimless. Also they could have taken it home 5-7 minutes earlier. ***1/4

    Fantastic brawl. Aggressive, cheating heel vs. fighting youngster. One of Inoki's best. ****1/8

    I mean, assuming that's true, it's not really your fault if people take your absolute worst traits and build their entire style around them. Also you could say 90s All Japan spawned Bryan so Jumbo (and Tenryu) is really responsible for Rollins/Richards etc. So I don't think that argument holds.
  13. Microstatistics
    For Bryan vs. KENTA, I'd add that match has Bryan playing the vulnerable champion role while retaining some heelish tendencies. Otherwise, great list.
  14. Microstatistics
    This isn't always the case in WWE. For example Cena handpicking Bryan. There have been other cases too that were along the lines of "This guy has impressed me and deserves a title shot".
  15. Microstatistics
    Agree, it is literally the opposite of good metal.
  16. Microstatistics
    I'll be surprised if it's not. Otherwise, I hope it's the usual well done, compact Goldberg sprint, which would atleast make a Dolph Ziggler match watchable.
  17. Microstatistics
    One theory is a Rikishi/HHH vs. Austin type angle with Bryan as Rikishi and Joe as HHH, with Joe's concern being a red herring.
  18. Microstatistics
    Glad someone mentioned this. It's almost impossible to tell the two apart in this match at times, without looking at the tights.
  19. Microstatistics
    Yeah, I remember people in one of these threads having this discussion but I couldn't remember which one. Apologizes for derailing. But I guess dislike for Rollins unites PWO like nothing else.
  20. Microstatistics
    I'm not as high on Ishii as most but his consistency over the years is pretty remarkable.
  21. Microstatistics
    He was a babyface in 2018 too though and a super popular one. All that underdog stuff with the gauntlets, people were all aboard that Rollins train. But yeah the recent social media stuff and the Becky Lynch connection has somehow negated all that.
  22. Microstatistics
    I'd say Yano is MVP so far.
  23. Microstatistics
    Bret > Flair Kawada > Okada Kobashi > Misawa Bryan > Jumbo Taue > Tanahashi

    From what I've read, Shawn critics act like he was worse than Tiger Jeet Singh in this match. One reason I'm assuming is because he did his usual Shawn Michaels flashy stuff rather than fight. But this wasn't a bloodfeud match because the bloodfeud portion of the feud had reached a logical conclusion at Unforgiven. His performance was exactly what it should have been for the kind of match they had here.

    This might already have been discussed but it's amazing how quickly fans on reddit and other places turned on Seth. Just last year, they wanted him as the face of the company and were touting him as WOTY for having amazing match after amazing match. But now suddenly, he hasn't been compelling since the heel run in 2015. I rarely outright dislike a wrestler, but I have to agree with the general PWO consensus here. Something about Seth Rollins' wrestling just feels off on every level. His usual formula might just be the worst possible way to construct a wrestling match.
