Last WWE match to get 5 stars was punk/cena MITB 2011.

That belt is awesome.
Some interesting mixed views of the PPV (and more specifically the results) on here. For me, that was easily the best WWE PPV of the year, and I'm pretty thrilled with how everything turned out. Not only because both Bryan and Orton are on my fantasy team (lol) but because it really makes Bryan the focal point going forward.
I thought the flying knee to finish off Cena was brutal looking, and was kind of surprised re-watching the gifs to see that people weren't really expecting the 3 count. Maybe the impact came across better on TV than it did live?
Punk and Lesnar was god damned phenomenal. I loved that Punk going after Heyman essentially cost him the match. Both main events lived up to the hype for me.
Current post-Summer Slam fave five!
1. Daniel Bryan
2. Ishii Tomohiro
3. CM Punk
4. Mark Henry
5. Yano Toru

I like this..... great expression
He has had such a goofy look on his face for the past 2 years that I can't help but find endearing.
Mel is getting pumped up so he can be the God Damn Batman in Batman vs Superman. Please. Please let that happen.
Looking at match again he sets up the Flying knee almost like a super kick. His finisher is born.
It's just unusual for WWE wrestlers, particularly Cena, to get pinned by anything but a finisher.

fuckin' called it, man
Oh my god this WWE 2K14 panel is something else.
and it's just JR talking by himself so far.

It's Cena
I never expect a 3 count. Even when one happens I expect a swerve reverse decision and the match will be restarted
I think the point is this is Bryan's new finisher, and that "leading" the Yes! chant was akin to his "tuning up the band"
Abut 70-something in his 30 years of wrestling journalism.
Yeah the Wyatt's aren't really a traditional stable like the shield, Harper & Rowan are just there to support Bray Wyatt.
Hell he only reason the Wyatt family actually became a thing was because Bray couldn't wrestle for 6 months back in 2012 so they needed to give him some muscle to fight for him in order to keep his character from dying out.

I fully expect JR to start singing one of the theme songs at some point.
I think that was the debut of Bryan's new striking finisher. And what better way to put it over as deadly than to beat Cena clean with it?
No way it doesn't become one of his finishers.. he pinned John freaking Cena with it!
Nothing more than a Superstar with multiple finishers
Angle
Punk
Taker
Technically The Rock
Cena
I think Sheamus
Heel Orton

I'd say Lesnar/Punk was better than Bryan/Cena but it's also not a big deal which is better. Both delivered, and Cena did work you haven't seen in ages. So good.

71 since 1983.
31 for AJPW
8 for AJW
8 for WCW
7 for NJPW
6 for WWE
4 for ROH
2 for AAA
2 for NOAH
1 for JWP
1 for TNA
1 for UWF
Meltzer had such a hard-on for AJPW. I know 90's AJPW was the shit, but he severely underrated a lot of New Japan in the mid-90's.

This reminds me of the whole 'HBK got jumped by Marines!' deal way back when
Also, good on Drew for helping a dude out. Sounds like it could've gone bad
We're only human I guess.

Very few of WWE's matches were worth crowing about from then.
There was a whole lot of Brock stuff in 2002/2003 that was absolutely worth talking about. And I find it hard to believe there weren't any Benoit/Rey/Guerrero matches that weren't close to 5 stars for Dave.
Off the top of my head, Bork/Taker HIAC, and Bork/Benoit that ended in the Brock Lock were pretty close to 5 stars. As was Bork/Eddie.
Although there certainly was a dearth of 5ish star matches between 2005-2009ish.

I guess, I remember enjoying plenty.
Stuff like Shane vs Angel might seem like a spot fest but it sure was pretty awesome.

05-09 was indeed a dark period. Ranks up there with 1994 WWE.
I need to closely watch more post-Attitude era matches, 03-05 namely. I know a ton of the Attitude era matches at the height were actually pretty shit.

Didn't see it in here, so I'd like to point everyone to the fantastic adventures of the 24/7 Hardcore Championship

Green Ant is a butthead and a thief. THUNDERFROG WAS GOING TO BUY A CAR D:
Indeed, but we didn't know it was his new finisher ahead of time, hence the surprise.
I'd much rather see Bryan vs Brock than Orton vs Bryan but whatever. I kind of like that Brock's this outsider figure.
if it was AJ, 'That's from Batman and Robin in case you guys didn't know. #Suchanerd!'
yo he namedropped Damien Wayne?

The problem with a new Evolution is that it requires HHH to refer to himself as the "past" component which I don't see his ego permitting. It would be pretty badass although I'm not sure Sandow fits the bill, I could see Big E and AJ as the "future" components, and a few months ago I would've said Ryback as well although I think he's too far gone. Failing that, I say use the entire Shield.
True. For me though, at that point in the match, I felt like any high impact move could've ended it for either guy. I definitely hope that's an alternate finisher for Bryan going forward. I'm not a huge fan of the flying headbutt as a finisher.
Hah, fair enough! For whatever reason the idea of Super Cena has kind of gone away in my mind over the last couple years. I was so into the match I wasn't really thinking about it, I guess!
Brock/Punk was amazing. Best match of the night.
Cena/Bryan didn't work for me personally. So many rest holds, a few botched moves, Cena talking super loud again to Bryan.
Also HHH was staying around way too long, knew something was coming. For a second I almossstt thought he just wanted to share the spotlight a bit, after the confetti and shit. But then I was like really? Why would he stay for that, those are usually the highlight video/pictures WWE likes to replay a million times.
Also in b4 Evolution.

I don't really watch Cena matches anymore because in the back of my mind, I feel like I always know how it's going to end.
A) He wins. This is 95% likely to happen
B) He loses, but gets redemptions and overcomes the odds shortly after

Snake heads and/or RKO.
Or just gets up and pretends like the match didn't happen. (like this one)
No. I'm sure that was planned. They're mad at him for completely hijacking the panel, ruining all the things they had planned for it, saying things like Cena drinks 30 beers in a 5 hour road trip because of him and taking a very awkward and uncalled for dig at Daniel Bryan.
So there was a seperate event outside of the roster reveal? Do you have a link to the video for this cause I can't find it and I watched the full 1 hour roster reveal.
Thank you sir! Wierdly enough I am actually really excited for 2k14. I loved the attitude era mode last year. Lets hope they can build off of that. Of all games you would think story mode would be great in a wrestling game.

Nah he's talking about Dwayne Wade.
What was he supposed to do after this match?
