I’m just saying give it time. Not every judgment has to be immediate :manny:


these teams have been out for years and aside from SCU, theyre all either in their prime or havnt peaked yet.

nothing immediate about it.

The New Day versus The Usos feud in 2017 is better than The Young Bucks versus The Lucha Bros feud.

Don't get me wrong, Young Bucks versus Lucha Bros was dope but I'm not a fan of spotfests. New Day and Usos brought something different every match. Their HIAC match is arguably one of the best in the last decade, even tho that's not saying much.


HELL NO.

put the new day/usos hell in a cell match in a different promotion, and nobody will care. it wouldn't be brought up after 2 months, let alone being bought up 2 years later as some sort of benchmark.

not better than lucha/bucks, don't even get me started on the lucha/LAX series.

watching that hell in a cell match right now.

Big E's ass-cheek softly bumping the cage is being sold as some sort of brutal spot.

the crowd is going crazy like its the greatest thing ever, before anything noteworthy even happens.

prime example of a standout WWE match being elevated into a monumental match simply because it occurred in a WWE ring.

WWE has the better talent but shytty booking, writing, etc.. I really like the USO's both as a singles and a tag and they may be the best thing about wrestling in the past 5 years imho. But the E has them so we won't see superb wrestling til all those contracts are up.

WWE's tag division is great, even tho the WWE doesn't know what to do with it. AEW's is cool but not GOAT tier at all. Give it time. We need to see how they handle it, and how they break up and form teams. WWE a couple years ago had a pretty great tag team scene. They hit The Bar out of the park. Usos and New Day carried SD Live for a hot minute. Hardy Boyz was in the mix. American Alpha was giving us fire technical wrestling with scrappy matches. Seth and Dean for a little while. Gallows And Anderson couldn't catch a break but they were still regarded as a good team and did their fair share of work. Slater and Rhyno brought the fukkery. Breezango was GOATing with the Fashion Files.

In a different promotion, blood is probably involved. That would boost the match even more.

There's been like four tag team Hell in a Cell matches -- held during a time where you could go further with the blood/violence aspect of it -- yet the Usos/New Day HIAC is the only one that ever gets mentioned around here.

You're wasting your time. I ain't got back and forth with dude because he's obviously anti WWE and no matter what you say, dude acts like his opinion is how everyone should think.
