Ah see that was before I jumped back in. Was that the really bad main event at WM30?

 

All I'm saying is WWE are hell bent on him being the top guy. It's frustrating that Brock is never there and we have PPVs where the Universal title isn't even there. Let's just crack on and get that belt on to Reigns now.

30 was the one Bryan headlined in a triple threat, that's probably the best build up to a 'mania ever and the match was pretty good.

Tbh Reigns first headlined 'mania with Brock was his best one and they have gotten worse and worse, although his opponent have got to take some of the blame for that.

The Rock is rumoured for a return btw!

 

Really hope it happens.

That would explain the Elias segment on RAW this week then... (other than them being in Miami).

Thought it was rather odd.

Was it 32 with Trips?

Mentioned by Usos too on SDL. That was in Tampa I think.

Sounds like a retirement tweet.

Better than Hogan V Andre, Hogan V Savage, HBK V Austin and Austin V Rock??? Thats without putting much thought. If I had to choose I would go for Hogan V Savage which was pretty much a year build.

Imo yeah, Bryan's build up was better than those.

Agreed and by a mile.

Is that just because you like him? I know it's all opinions, but I struggle to see how a 2 month build can beat a 12 month build. People still talk about Hogan/Savage today. I can't see Bryan/Batista/orton being remembered  in 20 years. I struggle to remember the match or build myself!

Agreed when I thought of the other candidates everything is fighting for second.

It was probably the only time I've really liked him, before and after there's at least 5 other wrestlers I'd preferred.

You can make the case it started building up fron Summerslam but if we are using lengths of build up to quantify quality then you'll have to put Cena-Rock ahead of it. As a feud I completely agree Hogan-Savage was better, although I never really got into the Mega Powers as a team but for me Bryan was the very rare occasion where the audience actually meant something and genuinely felt like the everyman won against the odds.

Bryan’s WM30 build started from Summerslam so that’s a solid 7/8 month build. For me that was the greatest Mania moment of all time. I was so invested in it and when he won I have never felt emotion like that in all my years of watching wrestling. It was just incredible.

They didn’t have the mania event planned until a couple of months before. Why I choose hogan v Savage is they knew that match more than 12 months before. Also easier to build in those days as less tv.

RIP Jim neidhart. I wasn't watching when he was at his peak, but I loved the new hart foundation angle in 1997.

[DareToDibble]

For all the crap going on in WWE at the moment Paul Heyman continues to be awesome. The man cuts one hell of a promo.

I won't spoil it in case anyone is still watching weekly and hasn't seen it yet but I thoroughly enjoyed this weeks return on RAW too!

Ambrose looks monstrous. Really glad he is back.

Yeah I thought he looked bigger as well. The short hair makes him look a big more badass too!

Just finished SummerSlam. In general enjoyed it. Favorite match being Joe v styles. Nothing was terrible, but 3 squash matched was too much for me. Also usual issues with being too long and too much kicking out of finishes.

My favourite match of weekend was the tag title match of NXT takeover. I preferred that show overall to SummerSlam.

Soooo... are The Shield heels?

I would guess so but still can’t see that they’ll really get booed. It was amazing to see them back last night!

This might actually be the way to get Roman over...

It would have been amazing if they hadn’t had that botched reunion last year. And getting Roman over is all it’s for.

Rollins is a terrible as a heel. My guess is that they are planning an Ambrose turn and going for Reigns v Ambrose.
