ShittyLittleBoots Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 One of the better HIAC matches. This had a fantastic sense of urgency, intensity & hatred between the 2 men. Orton was really good as the vicious heel, and Bryan was absolutely brilliant as the all action, revenge seeking, full of fire babyface. Sure, the finish was shit, but this was still a tremendous match & deserves more love. ****1/4
bradhindsight Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 I think the work here was completely overlooked due to both HBK's involvement and the Authority storyline (which at the time this was supposed to be it for Bryan). They built to this really well from their previous matches as well. Orton hadn't hit the RKO yet on Bryan and also somewhat lost in this story was how strong they kept Bryan. I remember being around **** - ****1/4 also.
