4.5 stars for that match is crazy. I'd say 4 stars at most and even that is super generous. Bryan carried Reigns to the best singles match of his career.
Reading that Meltzer story on Reddit, it's pretty sad that Bryan's whole title run was pretty much set up for him to get demolished at Summer Slam by Brock. Instead, Cena got that spot and I feel like that match will always be remembered (in a positive way). Brock came out of Summer Slam as a huge babyface, though. Definitely would have been a strong heel coming out of it if Bryan took 16 germans and got squashed instead.
I also realized that Ziggler's performance at Survivor Series was 100000000000000% intended for Reigns. Fuck. Way to go somewhere with Ziggler after that, you fucks.

Most of the best matches in the WWE in 2013 were on RAW.

That head tilt was in aggreance too, friend.
Merely "good" does not equal 4.5 stars.

So if Bryan kept the belt until Summerslam, would he have gotten a rematch at Night of Champions where he almost beat Lesnar?
hahahahaha nope
And this is the problem with the Network. If you have the Network, every match in that video should be clickable and should take you to the Network page of the Nitro/Raw/whatever it was on as well as recommend you matches those either superstar was in as well as well as playlists like a 'Bret Hart's biggest opponents' or Macho Man's most underrated matchups' or 'Bill Goldberg's WWE tenure'

Number grades are meaningless. You either liked the match or you didn't.
Not sure how the rematch would be booked. My guess is this would of happened if Bryan was never injured:
May: Kane
June: Kane
July: ?
August: Brock
Sept: Brock
Then Royal Rumble would be Cena and Wrestlemania would be Reigns.
Really looking forward to watching it now. Thanks for the rundown. Even if people aren't replying, I'm sure a lot of them are reading. Appreciate the LU representation.

You'd have had the equivalent of this.
Then Cena would've taken up the mantle to avenge his fallen chum.
No one's saying it wasn't a good match. However, rating the match a 9/10 is what people are slightly taken aback by. It's Meltzer's opinion and his perspective, which he's more than entitled to giving, but the fans on this board disagree and think it was an 8/10 at best, and likely more in the 7.5/10 category. I think I stated that it was a good match and around a 3.75/5 for me. But Meltzer has a ton of knowledge that I maybe don't, so whatever.

I would rate Bryan/Reigns 3.40628/5
Bray Wyatt is the product of the fusion dance between Meng and the Barbarian. That's why he is now the Face of Fear.

It was a good match but both the Royal Rumble three way and Tanahashi - Okada from WK9 were only a quarter star higher than Reigns - Bryan. So Meltzer is saying all three are basically of equal quality. Which is crazy.
Undertaker is fucked when Bray pulls out the golden spike he was gifted for his sins.
....I was actually going to follow up my joke with this if you responded. Creepy.

ROH is putting ACH in some big matches. First with Alberto and he's getting AJ at the next PPV. Hopefully they have a plan to eventually have him win one and move to the next level.

It may be over-exposed to the 1% of fans that have watched all of their other matches but pretty much everyone else loved it. Saku - Suzuki was a great change of pace match but it only stood out because of its uniqueness and the people involved. If an org was still doing UWF-style on a regular basis you'd have the same complaints as about the main.
Rock Hogan was the first match that popped into my head.
Flair Hogan happened but It wasn't at mania.
Goldberg Y2J was more of a dream match than Batista but Goldberg was such a douche in WWE.
I feel like its easier to name matched we didn't get than matches we did.

We'll see. ROH has a habit of waiting a bit too long with their talents at times. I've been waiting for them to strap the rocket to Cedric Alexander since his feud with Roderick Strong. Sadly, he hasn't really had much character development. I thought he had something with talking about his family, but they never followed up.

Is Vampiro straight edge? He made a comment about Cage twisting Puma's head off like a beer bottle cap and then quickly added that he didn't drink beer.

Did Striker save Vampiro's life or something? Instead of arguing with him over stupid common sense shit he's agreeing with him and kissing his ass. Maybe someone finally told him to cut the shit.
As a member of the undead, I assume Vampiro only partakes in drinking the blood of mammals.

According to Eddie Guerrero's book, Vampiro is a two-faced a**hole. I don't know what to believe.
