To build up hype for G1, one of the best G1 matches ever: Keiji Mutoh vs Vader Downside is that it wasn't televised so everything is fancam. Still well worth a watch for the match alone.

I agree but the Sting vs Triple H should be over 3 stars. The crowd was really into the match.

Nope. Nothing about getting themselves over.
Emphasis on the bolded. Bryan is absolutely getting away with what Reigns is being castigated for. Reigns had the Rock endorse him, Bryan had Roddy Piper, Bob Backlund, Ricky Steamboat, and Ric Flair endorse him.

I'm not on the Lucha Underground hype train, but
Meanwhile in WWE
TNA has been booking Lashley, MVP, and Kenny King well for about the last year or so too. Not overly familiar with ROH outside of their TV show off and on for the past few months but guys like Lethal and ACH seem like stars. WWE is the only televised wrestling company in America where this is a problem.
You want a guy fresh back from neck surgery to do dangerous ladder spots?
Yeah I knew he was overstating how good the show was... Dat being there live bias.
4 1/2 stars for Lesnar just wrecking Reigns for 20 minutes. I approve.

Only that Bryan has already proven himself as an excellent wrestler and top tier performer, before the endorsment, while Reigns is the total opposite. Roman is just starting to prove himself.
And he was NCAA champion too. Grand slam!Brock is the only real modern day triple crown champion.

How does the crowd being into a match equate to it being a better match?
How does a match having more, to quote jesse, movez make it a better match?
He recovering from neck problems and you want to do a crazy bump?
Plus the difference between Reigns and Bryan is he got over for his match quality. Bryan's run with the Shield putting on great matches got him onto the next level while Reigns never did that.

This is an example of what happens when you forget that wrestling is supposed to be entertaining
Every crowd don't make those chants while nearly every plsr RR cowed has booed roman. It not getting themselves over.

It has two hats!
Really? This threads anti-hype continues.
Sting vs Triple H was basically a version of Rock vs Hogan. Both matches don't have great wrestling but the crowd going crazy makes the match tons more better.
Matches where the crowds really into it will always beat very good matches when the crowd is sitting on there hands.

Nobody is making sure Reigns doesn't do something to aggravate his hernia injury
Double standards everywhere. Shameful display of hate for non-whites.

Hogan trained, bitch.
I forget. Was Roman in any of those great matches?

I'm going to miss Sheamus' old theme. I like his Jericho-like entrance with the FELLA.
He was in the 6 man tags but what got him over was he hot tags and his working with Rollins. His matches with Rollins were also great.
Okay. Roman is the only person not credited in those great 6 man and tag team matches. How strange.
I'm still not clear on what a 'fella' is.
The fact that he ended up being the weakest singles wrestler out of all of them retroactively took some of his credit away. He did his part fine in those matches, it's just that The Shield as a whole was masking his flaws.
After Reigns became a singles wrestler he should have gotten the Goldberg push that Ryback got at first. Have Reigns just murder people in 2 minutes, have very limited mic time, and have him run his way through the lower tier belts before winning the Rumble. Immediately pushing him to the top after The Shield broke up was always a huge mistake.

You're a fella, I'm a fella, everyone is a FELLA fella.
Unless you're female, I believe fella is male only, ladies can be lasses I suppose.
That makes no sense at all besides some convenient retroactive we actually hated him all along reasoning. Roman was a significant part of those matches. Both 6 man and standard tag team. How he was in singles matches has no bearing on those matches. No one is going to say, "Well, Bobby Eaton/Rick Steiner/Scott Steiner/Ricky Morton/Arn Anderson" weren't as good in singles as they were in tags, so their tag matches aren't as good now". Shield was also masking Dean's flaws and Seth's flaws. That's the point of stables. To hide the flaws and be able to accentuate the positives. Dean hasn't had a big list of great matches as a solo guy, in or out of Shield. I don't think he has anything worth watching besides with Seth or Cena.
Seth is the one, true stand out of Shield.
I don't agree with it either, I was just trying to explain what I thought their point of view was. Roman was awesome as part of The Shield and I have no issues with saying that. As a singles talent he needs a lot of work and is kind of boring.
Yep. I'll eat crow on this one - I thought he had the least potential out of the three. Right now he's the only one who really turned into a true main event talent. That being said, Roman and Dean can still both get there.
He gets credit but your missing the point. The team was masking his flaws and when he went to a single wrestler his flaws were exposed. He needed another year to build him up but they shoved him into the spot lot to soon.

I watched a lot of those 6 man matches leading up to this WM and there's a reason for that. He mostly didn't do shit. Took a few hits, did a move or two, then tagged out for the rest of the match (or did a spear at the end to set up a win).
main event of raw had big show and Kane and they just gave Big Show a huge win on TV.
This DDP/Bret match is good as hell. Back and back without no punches pulled.
On another note with Mania 31 being out of the way. Did it truly surpassed 30 or it was just a good Mania?
I still feel as though Mania 30 was the best one yet because of the atmosphere, the matches, and the fact that it felt like a new beginning. WM 31 was good despite the card looking like shit and the worst buildup since WM9. However, it just didn't hit me as hard as last years.

Big Show and Kane are Seth's lackeys though, they're going to be featured heavily on TV as long as he's champ, but go nowhere because they're only stooges.
Deal with it.
Again, Seth and Dean's flaws were hidden in the group as well. Seth is the only member of the group to have overcome and improved upon his flaws since the break up, and that took him a solid 6 months of intensive promo work on every show. Dean has proven himself to be very limited in the ring and delivered a lot of goofy/bad promos like Roman. So what is the difference between Dean and Roman?
1. Dean was on the indies, so he's automatically better
2. Dean wasn't marked as the next top guy
3. Dean is white
Which one is it?
