his match with Cena at SS 13 and his match with Reigns at fastlane 15 were arguably the best matches of the year, respectively.

Ok so he has a clear cut match of the year with morishima and a bunch of debatable ones. Vs cena at summer slam was one of the best ones but not clearly. Him vs reigns was good but nah wasn’t the best of 15

According to who? :pachaha:

And if he has a bunch of debatable ones, that means everyone else has a bunch of debatable ones too, so there's no clear "best wrestler" during those years :mjgrin:

Nah a few other guys had best matches of he year in several years and Bryan really only had one
Like I said he’s had great matches but one match of the year in ten years nikka I can divide
That’s one more then Dean Malenko who was of a very similar in ring ability before Bryan got spot fest-y in wwe

You just said Okada had 2013, so you are opening up the field to japan. If that's the case there's no year you wont find a debatable match of the year :mjgrin:

Before 2013 what japan wrestler was the best in the world? Tanahashi? Maybe but his matches with okada are his clear cut classics

I’m saying what Bryan matches does tsc refer to when they call bryan the best wrestler in the world and what years were those matches the best matches of he year. For as much shyt as people make fun of cena, he has maybe three matches in his career that could be considered match of the year with one definite being vs hbk at mania a few years ago and another being vs punk at mania. Yeah those guys are all time talent but what makes the bryan vs cena match better then those? What makes Bryan match vs punk better then punk vs Jericho that same year? Bryan to me is always around top five ish talents but never the clear cut best wrestler in the world ever. Him only having one match of the year clear cut bout supports that to me

Punk has had more then two, same with hbk, same with aj styles, same with taker, same with macho man, rock, Austin, Bret, Benoit, okada, tanahashi, nakamura, omega

Bryan is like a step shorter then those guys yet has this reputation as he best wrestler in the world even when he wasn’t having the best matches for several years. He’s like around Eddie Guerrero edge etc but I don’t know how people call Bryan the best in the world when he was consistently good but never outstanding when it comes to match quality like others abt their peak. His most memorable matches both came at mania 13 and we’re ok. His best match in Wwe either was with cena or punk but weren’t the best matches those guys had that year. His best match in roh was 07 and was and still is the best work he ever did and most people don’t know it and I was there

In the world nakamura aj styles okada
He was arguably best in Wwe 2014 but nah not 15 he got hurt and has been gone and also got hurt in 14

Seth was good but he wasn’t the best he was great tho. Cena has a hell of a year but nobody wants to give him or Roman credit for match quality so that’s arguable. So Bryan may have been the best in Wwe 2013-14 but nah not even top three best in the world at those years

I mean if you open up this convo to include outside of WWE, everything is debatable and subjective so it's kinda pointless to do this

INSIDE the E, I stopped watching heavily after 2015, but nobody was touching Bryan. I've never gotten the love affair for rollins outside of the 2/3 weeks he was trying to be Jeff Hardy. Cena was on a roll but Bryan was getting TVMOTYC outta Randy on multiple occasions as well as a MOTYC with HHH in 2014

Ok I can make it a bit fair and concede he was the best wrestler in Wwe for maybe a year and a half
I do believe his in ring work got very weak imo when he became very cartoony and no selling which is what many people shyt on a lot of other guys with less skill then Bryan had but nobody makes light of bryan especially when he would spam corner dropkicks or suicide dives and what not

But I don’t get this idea he was the best in the world at all. Nakamura had better matches in nxt then most of bryan best Wwe matches.

:francis:
c'mon breh, Naka best stuff doesnt touch any of bryan's. Those Orton carry jobs alone shyt on all Naka done in the WWE IMO

Also I'm not including 11-13 as I thought Punk was in the E but it's debatable as well for Bryan too
