Definitely one of your best watchalongs! Great reactions, great surprises, great match!

danielson is imo the best wrestler alive today. him and gunther are neck and neck but i give bryan the edge. although he still has classics in wwe in his catalog, more often than not wwe never let him show his full potential. not just in ring work, but as a superstar in general. like a lot of the comments are saying this is the start of the yes movement which got bryan super over. sadly before this bryan obviously had talent and even won a world championship but they were giving him terrible feuds / straight up burying him. for example losing to sheamus in like 20 seconds at mania 28, and debuting with the nexus and then getting his entire group buried by cena at SS 2010. even tho i would say he was the most over character wise in WWE, i still think his best in ring work comes from the indies / AEW. danielson vs nigel ROH 2006 comes to mind which was a classic. another one of my favorite matches of all time from that era of ROH that i would recommend is samoa joe vs cm punk 2 which was a 60 minute iron man classic. and ofc this AEW run he’s been on is one of the greatest of all time i mean him against ospreay, zack sabre jr, kenny omega. danielson can be argued as the best wrestler of all time. sorry for the long message i just really wanted to give bryan his praise 😭 also i think you should watch maybe a short youtube documentary on the yes movement or maybe watch orton vs batista vs bryan at WM30 with one of the best video packages of all time. it was an awesome time to be a fan, some might say it’s better than the we want cody movement!

Dre Mercy

The start of The Authority!!! Love it

Kam

I remember watching this live. I have never shouted at the tv for so long after a show than I did after this one. Triple H was my 15 year old mortal enemy, I wanted to strangle that man haha

Josh Tiley

Tbh just the hype package in wm 30 is enough to understand the whole storyline. Watching two match is better than documentaries tho

In regard to your comments on the diving headbutt, even the innovator of the move, Harley Race, says that he wishes he never came up with it. Anyone who has used it for a significant amount of time has ended up with concussion and/or spinal issues.

Adam Nelson

At this point HHH was only wrestling a couple of matches a year, one usually being at Wrestlemania.

josh: i love a good superplex me: well you're gonna love this one josh: oh it's a BETTER superplex i popped so hard

. the DANIMAL .

(Saying it was a hot take was a joke. Lol I thought it was well known that he was very strong on the mic)

Dport

Not a hot take, people were upset with the way Cena was forced down our throats and rarely lost. No one ever thought he was bad on the mic. Everyone even his biggest critics at the time knew how good his promos were

David

I would love to see you learn about Danial Bryan yes movement, I was still in high school when that happened , it's just so cool. In case of Cody, he kinda scripted babyface push, when The Rock return, people complain on social media, so Triple H change the plan, but Vince Mcmahon despite fan chant Bryan name, he still refuse to push him. They bring Batista back to become a face to face the WWE champion at Wrestlemania 30, poor man, he's good but the Yes movement just too crazy at that point, for month, people boo Batista, I mean it very awkward honestly to act like a face but being boo.

Tín Phạm

Knew it 😆

Dport

Not gonna lie, that was me 43:30

Christopher Barnes

This is a more typical Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan match than the Anarchy in the Arena match you saw in AEW. Them referring to him as a "young man" in this isn't entirely accurate. He is 4 years younger than Cena, but they both started wrestling in 1999. Bryan just took longer to get to WWE because of Vince's preference for bigger guys.

Adam Nelson

Such a great match between two of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Danielson is imo THE greatest and Cena not far behind.

Dagur Hall

The first time Bryan used the running knee as a finish I think always loved how Cena sold it like he'd been shot great visual I don't think anyone has sold it better.

Nicholas Kramer

Thanks!!

Entity

I would love for him to watch Evolution Vs. Shield matches. Seth was on another level in those matches lol.

Chad

Yep. Thats the whole purpose of Triple H's involvement. To screw the fan favorite babyface and start a heel authority faction with Randy and Stephanie.

Chad

Click the link below mate then ur get to watch the match with cody

Ryan Evans

I know he went head to head with The Rock and won a promo battle and absolutely annihilated Roman on the mic.

Chad

And it was literally 10 years apart.

Chad

This was basically the start of the Yes Movement. Fans chanted "Yes!" before this but this is where the fans got completely behind Daniel Bryan. In hindsight, the We Want Cody Movement was very similar to the Yes Movement. WWE starts a great story with a guy the fans like. The story is obviously supposed to end at Wrestlemania. WWE tries to give that Mania match to a part time Hollywood star. The fans refuse to accept it and WWE is forced to change course back to the obvious plan.

Ryan Redd

For the upcoming summerslam poll. Cmpunk vs Brock from 2013 was Excellent too

Phillyman!!

Thanks!!

Entity

So 2 things about this match it was the 1st time Bryan used the running knee as a finish the submission which you you said looked like a different STF was his finisher called the Label Lock but got renamed the Yes Lock and Orton and HHH were both faces going into it so they both turned heel here leading to The Authority stable which also plays into The Shield's Story if you ever get around to the history of them

Now that you watched it I hope you watches the entire yes movement/authority storyline

Б. Өсөхбаяр

Have I missed something? Why is the matches blurred?

Entity

I almost suggested the Money in the Bank Match that Orton won for the briefcase that he used at the end of this match because it’s a really good one. I so hope you consider doing one more match because my suggestion lost out by like five votes and it did get more than New Years Revolution. I had stopped watching WWE TV week to week by this point and the Network hadn’t started so I missed this show. I had ordered Money in the Bank the month before and I rarely got to order PPVs. I was also in high school at the time and here in Aus the shows are on at 9 or 10am so I was already at school so I couldn’t watch them even if I wanted to. I watched this match for the first time last year and I didn’t think it was all that special. A lot of people say this is a fantastic match and along with Punk vs Brock on the same show (which I also don’t think is that great) make it one of the best SummerSlams ever when that just isn’t true at all imo. I love this cash in though. They do the confetti and everything only for Orton’s music, they do the fake out, Triple H turns heel and then Orton actually cashes in. My favourite part is H saying “Ring the bell now, ring it!” That and all the internet fans getting their knickers in a knot back in 2013.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

And the evil corporate faction known as The Authority was born.

Oscar Islas

Yea cena on the mic is easily one of the best. Can literally go head to head with anyone
