I won't set my hopes too high, but I think TLC could have some really good matches. Harper/Ziggler in a ladder match should be good and Wyatt/Ambrose has a lot of potential if it doesn't become too contrived(which I'm almost certain it will).

No. Most people thought OH SHIT THE ROCK WON THE TITLE! ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY. It doesn't degrade Punk at all. Neither does losing to Brock or Taker at WM. I would see his point if he lost to a returning Jericho or RVD. But not to 2 people who transcend wrestling and another who is pretty much the most respected guy ever and getting picked to work with him at all means more than any title or main event.
I'm positive Punk would find a reason to be upset about getting a WM main event because that's the kind of person he is. Everything HAS to be a fight and a struggle to him. That's been bred into him. So if he got his WM main event, he'd be bitching about how it didn't get enough time, or the build sucked, or he didn't like who he was working with, or the finish sucked.

Now that I think about it, I wanted to talk about the parallels between WM20 and WM30. More specifically Bryan/Benoit. Two guys who were pretty similar in both height and move list. Both were in a triple threat main event that they shouldn't have been apart of. HHH and HBK, former friends. Batista and Orton, former friends (and HHH was involved in the same night) I also think HHH put Bryan into a cross face that night if I remember?
I wrote this the night of Mania;
... or am I just crazy?

To be fair, Punk wanted Cena's spot, not the number two spot. He lost to Rock (who Cena beat), Undertaker and Brock (who Cena beat). You can go on about "the rub" of losing to all the part timers if you want but for a guy who wanted the top spot it's not going to do anything for him.
I haven't watched as much wrestling this year as I did last year. My MOTY might actually be that previously linked Sekimoto/Marufuji match. Marufuji can be a top tier wrestler when he feels like it. You can tell he picked up that attitude from Misawa.
Maybe one of the Koji & Fujita tag matches. They've been awesome to watch as a team.

You could throw WM 10 in as well with this comparison. Bret Hart pretty much opened the door for *edit*, eddie, and bryan.
If you have not seen it watch AJ/Suzuki.

I wonder who the vanilla midget that's going to win the title match at WM40 is.
I like LU but I can't in good conscious put it over NJPW. Especially not with so few episodes.

The topic of the thread is bothering me....people know that Z-Paks are pills, right?
Do we know if the WWE's doctors know this?

Really loved,ibushi/ricochet, and isshi/naito
Do you sincerely believe that your smark-ass opinion is the consensus for people "above PG", which I assume means anyone over the age of 13?
Wrestling fans on the internet are as out of touch as Vince.

It's not even real Pro Wrestling.
That'll change once Jomo wins the gold and K dogg gets back in the ring for a retirement match.
Just letting you know, between this and your 2nd response to me on page 76 about the same topic, you're coming across as overly hostile here.

Right now, I've still got the Four Way with Neville / Zayn / Kidd / Breeze. Probably the most logically booked four way I've ever seen, and it told a really good story too. I loved Tyson always making sure to keep an eye on the people outside the ring, and making sure they stayed out. I loved Neville showing just how important the championship was to him, and seeing the (legal in the match) lengths he was willing to go to to keep the belt.
Everyone was really good in that match. Breeze put in a fantastic performance and you barely notice because of how good the other three were.

My moty= Shield vs the Wyatts
This was like a one good feud only type of deal with the WWE when they came up with this match. The setting was perfection, the feud was *kisses fingers* magnificent, and the segments were amazing.
That match alone took me back to wargames 94 with dusty's stable vs arn's stable. Sure the feud was lukewarm around that time compared to sting's squadron vs the dangerous alliance but goddammit it was real to me.

Fun and playful match of,the year was ACH vs Kenny Omega from BOLA NIGHT 2
And the crowd was red hot for this match too. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a "this is awesome" chant start before the match even begins, and the hype for that match felt like it warranted such a thing to happen.

It's still in OT. I still have to constantly see their unfunny, uninspired, boring thread titles.
Hell yeah...
The crowd made that match...plus that staredown o_o. It was like the immovable force meeting the indestructible object
I have to agree with you, though I think Neville / Zayn will top this.

We need a podcast of the year award
Also can punk,vs wwe be feud of the year

And look at the rest of those winners.
Billy Gunn had more to do with the roster that year. And even if it doesn't work out it can fucking help boost someone.
Then again that 2008 KOTR shows how fucking stupid they are
There was no issue with the 2008 one since Regal was about to get a major push and be a fantastic GM on top of that. He just got wellnessd.
It was a bad gimmick in 2013.
Yeah. That match was hype for a few reasons.
1- Both factions were booked pretty well leading up to it, they were both reasonably protected and thus looked unstoppable.
2- Both groups have plenty of talent.
3- It was a fucking heel vs heel feud. We never get those anymore.
Shit like this is why I wish we'd get a Rusev vs Brock feud.
Assuming Zayn beats Neville for the belt, I think Breeze is going to be the guy who takes the belt off of Zayn once Zayn gets the call up to Raw.

Tanahashi vs Ishii was really good as well, but a lot of people forget about it because of Ishii losing, I think. Tanahashi had a great strategy in that match, working over Ishii's neck to make use of his less frequent finishers (the dragon suplex and Twelve Six) and keeping him off balance so he couldn't fucking spike Tanahashi with the Ishii Driver again like he did in 2013.

No, Bryan did not beat Cena clean. John Cena was wrestling with one arm.

I think that's become part of the joke.

Bullet Club is too reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal for you, evidently
They also sell too many t-shirts to be imploding any time soon. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't some member changes though, but I can't see the stable being removed all together.

I vote simplythebest as MVP of the year.
For me, so far, with about 8 more matches left on Bootaay's WWE list (plus whatever happens at the next COTC and TLC):
- HHH/Bryan
- Bray/Bryan
- Sami/Cesaro
- Team Cena vs Team Authority
- Shield/Evolution 2
HHH/Bryan is pretty comfortably number one to me. Sami/Cesaro and Bray/Bryan are pretty much interchangeable. I think I'm still comfortable listing Bryan has WWE performer of the year even having been gone since May. Cesaro would have been it if he hadn't had his fall from grace.
Outside of WWE, my favorite match was AJ/Okada from night 1 of G1. But all the main event guys matches were awesome. AJ/Tanahashi. AJ/Suzuki. Tanahashi/Shibata. Okada/Nak. Last year I for sure had Nakamura as best performer outside of WWE, but I think I'd have to go with Okada this year. But I love that coked up swaggy mother fucker.
I vote myself as most improved WrestleGAF talent of the year
I like this list. I'm kind of surprised Shield/Wyatts isn't on here but I can't complain about any of the choices you have in there.
Team Cena vs Team Authority is probably in my Top 5 as well simply for the rise of Ziggler.
