Guessing it's an angle. Wouldn't be surprised if the match happens at Dominion.
-
And Limp Bizkit isn't! Ha!
-
Absolutely.
-
Gotta play a bit of catch-up today but really enjoyed Nak-Rusev.
-
Actually surprised Cena made it to the top 5. I was sort of second-guessing myself after submitting my ballot and might have gone Austin as #1 instead, but happy he finished that high.
-
I did enjoy the match with Hiromu more than others, but him screaming "MY NECK!" was peak Ospreay. I generally find the dude entertaining, but he needs to cut it out.
-
That's certainly fair. I just think the early goings of the Shane feud and the turn on Jericho were enough to keep him off my list.
-
Owens has been a letdown but I think he still had more positive moments than Natalya and Corbin.
-
I liked the match. Other than Ospreay screaming at every small submission move (arm twist, leg crank, etc), he was pretty reigned-in.
-
I think the issue with Reigns being Most Overrated (other than being a great wrestler) is that while he was always near the top of the card, his booking wasn't stellar. He lost pretty much every match with Braun and took the pin at Summerslam. Brock has a better case for Most Overrated than Reigns does. And Cesaro is a case where just because you're a terrific wrestler, it doesn't necessarily mean you should be a main eventer. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Cesaro gold watch world title run and him wrestling regularly in the main event, but his promo and character work is not there. He was made to be a midcard workhorse or tag team specialist. This is like, his third tag team that's been really, really good.
-
I'd go Jinder for Most Overrated (shout-outs to Corbin and Natalya as well) and Becky for Most Underrated (shout-outs to Naomi, Mojo, and Harper).

Thought the Anniversary Show was a very solid top-to-bottom card. Okada/Ospreay and Suzuki/Makabe were definitely the best matches. Makabe was sloppy as hell and had some miscues but Suzuki really turned in a tremendous performance to make it look like an actual, chaotic fight. Ospreay-Okada took a bit too long to get going (especially considering neither guy are great matworkers) but really took off after the first five minutes. Thought Taichi delivered in a big way even if I don't think he'll ever be "really good". SANADA/YOSHI-HASHI was really slow in the first half (and I'm really disappointed they blew a spot for a Skull End count-out attempt) but thought the second half was really good.
-
Yep.

[2002-08-25-WWE-Summerslam] Shawn Michaels vs HHH
Boss Rock replied to Superstar Sleeze's topic in August 2002
This was a perfectly good plunder match. Not great, but it worked. Shawn's selling was bad near the end (particularly when he just pops up after jumping off the ladder), but Haitch did a surprisingly good job heeling. Instead of needing to be an ass-kicker, he instead targeted the injured back. ***1/4-***1/2. -
I didn't have Jericho top 10, but he was definitely in my top 20 based on his longevity and character work. And while he might be overrated as an in-ring worker, I've never thought he was terrible or even bad.
-
The issue with Brock other than the fact that it seems like the dude might be shot physically and is willing to completely eat people alive unless he cares or they actually give it back to him is that he's given the top star treatment while no one else is. He's the only guy who's made to look remotely important besides A.J. and occasionally Braun. It basically becomes a hindrance to the product as a whole.
-
They need to broadcast this or put it on the Network. I'm incredibly fascinated by how this will go.
-
Beth, Michelle, and Trish all looked like they could go on a full schedule again. They were that good.
-
I'm a bit disappointed that Bryan didn't make the top 15, but I understand he didn't quite have the longevity that some may want for that level. But I think what we got was definitely enough. Could wear any hat and deliver in any spot on the card and was easily the biggest non-Cena star since at least Jeff Hardy.
-
I think Rey easily has him beat in terms of versatility and nuance. Put the guy anywhere on the card and he was going to give you something at least pretty good. I did have Trips ranked fairly high because like Dylan said, he's too big a star (although I get why he had him ranked lower). But Rey was definitely a top 10 pick for me. Still, I'm glad he at least made the top 20.
-
I think the list has been pretty spot-on for the most part (although I think Trish was rated too low). And while I had A.J. higher I understand considering he's barely been there for two years.

I would hope that with a shorter season it would be ready by at least spring or summer.
