It's a very good match but I don't think it's the greatest match of all time. That being said, it's definitely better than whatever these drones think is the best match ever (undoubtedly one of those Undertaker vs Michaels matches)

One of the other replies predictably said Hogan/Rock

I don't think Danielson/ZSJ was the best match ever either but it's just so weird to me how these drones only care about hype and window dressing and entrances and pyro and whatever

I think Dave nailed it when he said it's probably not the best match this year but it will be the one people remember.

This dipshit sitting behind us at Collision said "Nobody kicks out of the Stone Cold Stunner, so why doesn't everyone just do Stone Cold Stunners all the time?"

He said a bunch of other dumb things throughout the night and had a bad snarky comment for everything, but that one particularly stood out. His running commentary was a mix of pretending not to understand kayfabe/performance, and thinking he knew a lot about the business when he clearly didn't know poo poo.

i'd ask for a refund if i heard all that. i'd chargeback my card if i heared that mess all night long. why doesn't everybody do the stone cold stunner? i guess the same reason you don't shut the gently caress up. that's what someone could say to that guy.

I was at the show where Jericho faced Ishii and some dipshit behind me was screaming "loving WRESTLE ALREADY" and "THIS ISN'T WRESTLING" when they were slapping the piss out of each other. I don't know what the gently caress they came in expecting.

Amazing title reign is lmao worthy, but Corbin never did recover from being the one guy that Cena refused to put over when he was in his last major run and was putting everyone else over.

I was watching a Varsity Blonds promo back when they were still a thing and I was into the gimmick.

Then BPJ wrestled and I was like "Holy gently caress this guy isn't good."

I keep thinking of that time they gave him a sweetheart hometown angle with MJF where MJF dissed his dead dad and his relatives, and he had the opportunity to really come back at him. It wasn't great.

The fact that WWE had a good long look at Gable Steveson and said "No, I don't think we can afford to have this guy go over BARON CORBIN" is all the evidence you need that he just doesn't loving have it at all.

It's wild that it took like 3 years of hyping this dude up, setting up his own personal performance center, and then literally one match in they were like "whelp this guys washed"

Corbin's whole push, while relentless and long-lasting, was never that much of a push bell to bell. All of his PPV matches up to the Cena job:

Wrestlemania 32: Wins the Andre Battle Royal
Money in the Bank 2016: beats Dolph Ziggler
No Mercy 2016: beats Jack Swagger after an eyepoke
TLC 2106: beats Kalisto in a Chairs Match

Royal Rumble 2017: Eliminates Braun Strowman from the Rumble, gets eliminated by Undertaker
Elimination Chamber 2017: First eliminated from the Chamber match by Dean Ambrose
Wrestlemania 33: loses to Dean Ambrose on pre-show
Backlash 2017: loses to Sami Zayn
Money in the Bank 2017: wins briefcase ladder match
Battleground 2017: loses to Nakamura via DQ after he punches Nakamura in the balls
[on an episode of Smackdown, attacks Cena and WWE champion Jinder Mahal during a non-title match, tries cashing in but gets rolled up immediately]
Summerslam 2017: John Cena beats Baron Corbin

Cena "wouldn't" put him over in 2017, but neither would Randy Orton or AJ Styles or Nakamura or Sami Zayn or Dean Ambrose who also beat Corbin in singles matches in 2017. Tye Dillinger won the blow-off match against Baron Corbin in fall 2017.

Also of note, this particular John Cena run in 2017 where he beat Corbin was not the US title/open challenge one. Cena returned in January 2017 and beat Corbin in his first match back. for the rest of 2017, Cena was 9-2 in singles matches, beating AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Fandango, Jinder Mahal, Jason Jordan, Braun Strowman, and Elias. He lost to Nakamura on an August Smackdown and then Roman Reigns at No Mercy 2017, and got pinned by Bray Wyatt and Kurt Angle in multiman matches.

Cena's US title run in 2015 was the real "putting everyone over" run and even that only involved him losing not-by-DQ to Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Alberto del Rio, the rest were combos of "have a nice long match with Ambrose/Stardust/Sami before pinning them" or "have a long-ish match with Cesaro or Neville or etc. and then no real finish when someone runs in"

If you say the letters B and P out loud (English pronunciation) it sounds like Bee Pee, or Beepie, with -pie being pronounced like pee, not like a key lime pie

I'm sure it started before but I think the death of kayfabe had a big hand in it. Wrestling fans now feel like they're in on the secret, and secrets are usually shared between friends so now you must be friends if you know their secret, right?

Christian and Callis are doing way better heel work than anything in WWE. I guess the top heels over there are Roman Reigns, who is only around like once every 2 months and just looks stoic and has his minions beat people up, and the Judgment Day, who lose all the time have a bunch of infighting.
