What star did you give Cena/Bryan?

[Zany Clowny]

4 stars, Rewatched it, and enjoyed it more the second time. It isn't a bad match if you throw context out the window.

Watching the match, it was clear that it probably went better in practice. A lot of the counters that Daniel Bryan always pulls off so well just didn't happen quick enough. There are points where you see Cena could've gotten out but didn't, such as the point where Bryan puts Cena in the STF.

WHICH begs another question: Why would Bryan do an STF when he was targeting the weakened arm? He could've went for a Yes Lock. It would've made more sense.

Even that counter at the end when Cena goes for another AA and Daniel Bryan does a roll up, watch closely and it's apparent Bryan was supposed to have hooked the legs but didn't catch it quick enough (either that or Cena rolled forward too soon). I was thinking perhaps that's when the end was supposed to have happened? It probably would've been less awkward than the three count after the running kick from Bryan.

Rating? 3.5 out of 5. Technically, not even close to perfect. HOWEVER, it's still one of the more exciting matches I've seen in a long time. And when Bryan won I was literally shocked, which is something that doesn't happen often these days.

I gave it **** , just a bit bigger than Lesnar/Punk.

I'd give it just under four stars,it was good but it felt rushed and it just kindof ended out of the blue.

Preferred Lesnar vs Punk, Cena DB was pretty disappointing imo.

3.5 was much better than I expected.

I think the problem lies with the fact that Bryan is a submission specialist and has no established "devastating" moves or finishers. So it's not quite as exciting and anticipatable when the 3 count comes from something like a running missle drop kick. They sure as hell weren't gonna have Cena "tap".

I'm hoping within the coming weeks, they have Bryan develop another finisher. Something that could be hit quickly and out of nowhere like the Codebreaker or the RKO.

The running knee is fine with me,but, they should've given some sort of build with Bryan using it before Summerslam.

3.5 dont think it was as good as punk v lesnar, which was probably my favourite match of the year so far - although there wasn't much 2 beat

 

[CrayJ Lee]

I'd give it four stars. I thought it was slow at the beginning but it ended with lots of excitement and was an overall great match.

That would've helped. Also the execution was a little lacking.

You expected it to be worse than 3.5?
