Even if that were true, what about double count-outs/DQ's/'no contests'?

They could have ended this in 45 minutes in a spot that showed BD maybe taunting too much, and then getting rolled up for a quick 1 2 3, like they do with most other rivalries. This could allow BD to self-evaluate, really think about why he lost and come back again. Then again, that would cause BD's record to drop, thus losing his number one ranking.

The term 'wwe brained' gets thrown around a lot, some more justifiable than others. But "this incredible hour long match should have ended with a surprise rollup" is concentrated WWE poisoning :gonk:

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

The heel should go on a journey of self-reflection after the face steals a victory away from him isn't a bad idea in a vacuum, but lol at the idea of a guy "taunting" too much after 45 minutes of wrestling. Like you're just spamming the taunt button in a video game to build up your finisher again.

I haven't seen the match yet but Danielson has totally established a small package as a finisher in the past so in isolation it's not the worst suggestion I've ever heard.

But man. Time limit draws don't prove anything? They prove lots of things if you loving pay attention, like "underdog/local hero can hang with the champion", which clearly elevates someone, see Joe vs Punk I, or probably 90% of NWA World Champion travelling the territories matches in the 70s & 80s. It can simply prove that these two guys are so loving close together in quality that you can't fit a cigarette paper between them, that still proves SOMETHING. And then you can do a rematch down the line & the result is in doubt because holy poo poo they were close together last time! And that can be a match with a stip to ensure there is a finish, like an Iron Man match or No Time Limits like what happened with Joe vs Punk III, where because their previous 2 encounters went the distance the 3rd match had no time limit & it ended up only going 30 minutes.

Wrestling isn't hard. In fact it's the obvious, it's meant to be super easy for dumb loving yokel marks to understand. And yet it seems too complex for modern fans who are apparently "smart" to how the business works.

It's probably just very clunky wording for It having an effect on the stories of the people in the match. Whoever said time limit draws don't "prove" anything is an utter buffoon anyway. On a very surface level it at least proves that you have two tough motherfuckers and if you look at it further it can be so much more. Plus it easily sets up a rematch down the line.

I'd say its probably the OP just struggling with their personal frustration at the lack of a cathartic ending, especially with a match that long and with that much build.

It does "prove" and "set up" stuff. But its lacking that resolution we tend to seek and get from stories.

Danielson has been taunting a lot in his matches so him losing because he was too busy taunting is a good idea. Maybe even right at the start of the match, to show that he was too distracted. Like he's turned to taunt and then comes back around right into someone's finisher.

Maybe he could even lose in 18 seconds

What they should have done is have Danielson's pants fall down, while he shouts "oh no my weewee!" while he pisses himself. Also, Hangman is renamed "Dickfuck" and they trade wins, while looking worse each week.

Also, the commentators need to scream and holler at each other, over super important details like "Bryan Danielson's shoe size" and "the name of Page's horse, if he rode out to the ring on a horse like a cowboy Bikertaker," while ignoring the match.

I don't see how this won't get anyone over.
