10 Absolute Best Matches WWE Can Promote In 2019
2. Daniel Bryan Vs. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is a very, very good pro wrestler.
To write that true greatness eludes him, while a subjective truth, isn’t too far removed from the consensus. Gauging by SquaredCircle threads and critic comments, Seth’s inconsistent knee selling draws derision because he’s not quite in the position of a Ric Flair or a Shawn Michaels. The trajectory of his very life wasn’t altered; he suffered a very serious injury that, while debilitating physically and psychologically, is something other wrestlers have recovered from without selling it. Selective and beyond the reach of true pathos, the knee is either weak or it f*cking isn’t. At his worst, he draws an immersion-breaking exasperation.
Daniel Bryan does not.
A genius of a pro wrestler, at his best, there is no better— certainly in WWE. Hurting his opponents in a manner both fascinating and gruesome, underpinned by a bulletproof logic, his incredible ‘New’ gimmick did however falter at the Royal Rumble. Though incredibly nuanced, and stiff enough for the ghouls, it was too clever for its own good, ultimately.
A meeting between the two would extract the maximum from each, who in markedly different ways are incredible at the craft of pro wrestling.
Combining Seth’s jaw-dropping explosiveness and Bryan’s zealous approach to detail, this is the thinking man’s blockbuster.
