Spin: WWE in 2013 appreciation thread

[RammerJammer]

13 was great, only regret was the way they handled the Punk and Bryan tag team. I wish they had them teaming with the Rhodes Family going after the Authority instead of that pointless Wyatt family feud.

2013 was handled pretty damn great.

• Rock/Punk/Cena angle
• Team Hell No matches with the Shield
• The Shield was booked flawlessly
• Punk/Taker feud
• Undertaker teaming with Team Hell No against the Shield
• Ziggler/ADR feud
• Henry’s fake retirement
• Both Money in the Bank matches (featuring RVD’s return and final stint with the company)
• All of Summerslam 13: from Punk/Lesnar and Bryan/Cena to ADR/Christian and Cody/Sandow
• HHH and Orton turning heel for the first time in years (HHH had some great promos during the initial stages of the Authority, his promo with Edge immediately comes to mind)
• Rhodes family vs. the Authority
• HBK and Bryan tease
• Punk and Bryan teaming up
• seeds planted for the Shield vs the Wyatts
• Punk vs. the Shield (his match with HHH was being booked perfectly, kinda wish we could have got it)
• Championship Ascention segment
• Belts getting unified

Damn breh I forgot about the Rhodes vs Shield, great match and huge pop when the Rhodes won.

U Stan her

I rarely mention her unless she is brought up

So it makes more sense to you to have Taker lose to a skinny, non athletic Indy wrestler who ended up being a ufc jobber instead of losing to a beast super athletic former ufc heavyweight champion

breh taker's a zombie mortician biker who knows mma for some reason sense or logic doesn't really figure into the character. plus at that time he was a part timer after years of being a main eventer so it's plausible that after years of outright wars with hbk, hhh et al he would finally meet his match in someone who was a wwe champion for over 400 days.

Cripple H vs Lesnar wasnt good at all...it was a nightmare.

 

[R=G]

punk should've ended the streak idc idc

Lol. So he could bytch snd complain about not main eventing wm in all of his media interviews like in 2011.

 

[R=G]

that "arms are too short to box with god" promo

Didnt get over but the Net geeks loved it. The skinny Chicago guy copied Omar Little...ooh... he's cool. Dude bombed hard as champion untill Rock popped up in arenas.

And the story of Bryan proving himself is bigger than anything on these lists...easily. Ending the Kane stuff. Going over face Sheamus..making Blandy tap out in that no dq match before MITB 2013...the Gauntlet match with Cesaro...the gauntlet matches with Shield...schooling Cena.

And Cripple H wasnt the stand out Authority promos..it was the Bryan vs Stephanie dynamic that got red hot. Bryan's pops in Toronto, NY, LA, and Miami were insane for the second half of the year..his return to Seattle during that goofy title promo with Cena/Blandy with everybody in the ring as fans shyttted on it for Bryan. Amazing. 1999 level.

April 2013-August 2013 was a incredible run for the company, I've said in years to come fans will look back extremely fondly on that period. Even alittle after that gets a grace period because we got Bryan's stuff and Mania 30 (GOAT mania IMO) right after. The company fell off for good alittle after Mania tho

Going back to 2013, in terms of actual in ring quality, I put it up there with any other year

Bryan carried Orton to a Raw classic

Migos came out in 2013 and everyone legit thought hip hop could not get any worse....

I liked the fall of 2013 though, there was a lot of moments that shyt on anything the WWE has done since. The PPVS weren’t as good as they were earlier in the year but there was still some great matches during that time period.

Imo that championship ascention segment is the best of this era.

 

[Huda2daf]

that Del Rio ziggler fued was fire.

When del Rio punt kicked that butterfly belt

 

[Metal Face]

2013 was piff especially the Summer

Oh and that small Rhodes family angle they did in the Fall was dope.

Mark's retire angle, that championship segment, Bryan/Cena Miz tv and countless other promos all in that one year

Also Summerslam 2013 is the GOAT ppv IMO
