@Jeff Valley Driver Roxy vs. Davenport was also solid imo. I actually liked it more than the NA Title three way personally. Main event was by far the best match of the night though (not a MOTYC in my book but I digress)

points. nice.

I could see myself enjoying that match more than the threeway, given the quality of workers involved (and triple threats are harder to work smoothly)

watching a pod and curious what people think here

Is Dragunov a top 3 WORKER in WWE? (for reference, said podcaster was naming seth, gunther and dragunov as top 3)

Strictly just in ring?

I don’t think I can say 3.

Seth
Gunther
AJ

Yeah…I did put a few minutes of thought into it. I know AJ hasn’t had the best year but I chalk that to injuries. I still think he’s a phenomenal(pardon the pun) work

I’d probably put Dragunov at 5/6(Depending on if we’re acting as if Orton was healthy)

If not, I’d probably put Drew at 4 and Dragunov at 5

Drew? Interesting, I find him good but pretty bang average. I'd put Sheamus at 4 after Dragunov. I can't say I've seen a ''phenomenal'' Styles match in years. Not that I think he is bad. I feel the same about Zayn and Owens, they just getting old and beat up and they don't really go the same speed they used to

He's top 5 at least I have no doubt about it. Besides who's been mentioned (Gunther, Sheamus, Rollins, AJ when he tries maybe) I don't see much other competition for him, and I probably rate him above AJ at this point. Probably Seth too, who I love but I think he can be spotty/formulaic.

so Gunther is your #1 if I'm reading between the lines here?

How about Bate or Dunne?

cant answer for Hoss, but for me I'd say they are both very good workers who sadly just don't have the catalogue recently of epic one on ones. I do think given the chance though? both top tier workers and Bate is still a baby whos not even in his prime yet.
