The fact that favorite son Triple H isn't the first name in Tier 1 makes this list invalid.

He ran over the top card like there was no tomorrow and the only thing that stopped him was his own body. Bryan's superpower is being able to exceed the physical limits of reality.

Plus, at Extreme Rules Bryan managed to make fucking fire turn against Kane.

Tier 1 - for sure.
Bryan isn't tier 1 for the same reason Rock isn't. He isn't wrestling right now. He was tier 1, but he may no longer be so. We don't know how he'll be treated when he gets back.

He belongs in the ? Tier.

Bryan fucked that up, by not tilting it more. The thing barely changed angles at all.

Everyone involved fucked that up. The person who came up with the spot. Kane. Bryan. Camera men. Announcers. That match, that spot, all of the spots, were boring as fuck. I don't understand how two guys with so much chemistry as partners can have so little chemistry as opponents.

I'm obviously biased, but I liked it. It had wacky spots that may not have done as well as they had hoped, but it was better than what we usually get with guys going off on near finishes and multiple finishers with the announcers yelling, "Can you believe how great this match is?!?!?!"

It's rare to get this kind of match these days.

He is the GODDAMN "GAME" itself with the power to make or break one's career when necessary.

Daniel Bryan defeated the Shield.
HHH destroyed it.

Brock Lesnar conquered the streak.
Ranks as HHH's backup backup plan.

Cena put over Daniel Bryan "clean" with his own bad elbow.
HHH put over Bryan clean with Bryan's own bad shoulder.

The Rock left wrestling to make movies.
HHH stayed with wrestling, now high ranking WWE exec. and simultaneous main eventer.

Tier 1? Tier H.

The UFC has answered back to the Lesnar/Cena video from Raw.

I might like "I will literally kill you." more than "Blood & Urine & Vomit".

The Rock just pulled in a hundred milli these past two years alone.

Triple H is stuck running a neverending carny sideshow.

The Rock stays winnin.

WWE Does have a "You're not allowed to touch the staff who haven't been trained to take bumps" Rule. Cryme Time was fired for performing their finishing move on a ref who wasn't trained to take bumps. Cade and Murdoch decided to pull a rib during a house show and had the ref count them out super fast. Cryme Time reacted by hitting their finisher on the ref then selling his belt to the crowd. They were immediately fired for violating the "no touchy the non bump trained staff" but were hired back when Lashley, Krystal, Booker and Sharmelle all quit/got fired on the same day because "Holy crap, we have no black wrestlers to job anymore".

But Big Show can beat up an unsuspecting WWE.com guy and get away with it because apparently his contract really is iron clad or because he's got more clout somehow or whatever.

Nah. It's fun watching Sports Entertainment fans get worked into a worked-shoot, but Brock was spitting hot fire for like 3 minutes.

This one doesn't even make sense. Zod vs. The Avengers? They're from two different movies. All this shit just depends on what the writers and directors want.

I have learned a lot about comic books from OT thread titles. I now know what a Thanos is, a Zod is, etc.
 

Bonski had to make those private for some reason.

That Marvel thread made me realize I've been unnecessarily harsh on you weirdos for making wrestling threads in OT. I sincerely apologize.
