Feud of the Year

[Aids Johnson]

Cena/Bryan, Patronizing Cena promos? Fuck that. The feud was fantastic, the promos were some of the best I have seen from both men and they topped it off with a great match, Bryan getting put over and Cena passing the torch the next night.

agreed, Cena might have won mark out of the moment in that aftermath promo, one of the best i've ever seen.

 

[Aids Johnson]

I'll have to go with Punk/Rock, and Punk/Lesnar. Both were well booked from start to end, and a couple of very well matches/promos came out of both feuds.

not to be confused with punk/axel or punk/ryback, where Punk cut similar dogshit promo's, and went SuperCena nearly every week.

His promos were different for those two compared to the rock feud especially.

i agree, but his promo's haven't changed one bit since then. His HHH anti-establishment stuff has just been atrocious IMO. Years from now, all the punk marks will 100% ignore the "backstage influence" CM Punk seems to be riding so hard.

HIs material has been terrible for a while, his delivery though is still excellent. He's like Cena in that way both get given shit and make it passable - good every week.

Cena, for me, has been great weekly because he has been putting on great matches. I know i'm an ant-punk fanboy, but seeing him get shoved into the angle because nothing is going on, is almost as bad as Ryback/Axel still teaming together. It's filler shit.

Punk/Lesnar is the only one that really stands out-- at least in terms of being booked well from start to finish.

Ziggler/Del Rio would have been great if the sympathetic babyface eventually overcame the odds like he fucking should have.

Wasn't Rio face during that feud?

Prepayback yep.

They did the double turn at Payback and ended the feud at MITB.

Ok, I remember now. For some reason I remembered it as Ziggler being heel the entire time, and the crowd just cheering him regardless.

Lol, understandable.

I don't remember them being that great, hit me up with some videos of the promos.

Only one I could find, Will keep looking.

Not really into it so far, Bryan randomly screaming to call Cena a parody felt misplaced. Cena has a strong moment talking about believing but it does feel typical Cena, his delivery of it is very good.

It's not a bad promo but it's far from mind blowing to me personally although I can see why people were into it.

Just for reference this is the kind of promo I'd call excellent



Around 5 minutes in when Wade comes out.

I was into it and really enjoyed it among with the other moments in the feud for example the corporate segment was awesome, His mini feud with Barrett etc. I enjoyed the promo partially because of how far Bryan's mic skills have come since debuting with little of them.

That promo was excellent and the aftermath attacks told a good story, I completely missed and forgot about that promo and can understand what you mean.
