Who are CWs wrestlers of the year to date?
I'd have Rollins, Cena and Banks as 3 contenders. Hard to pick with New Day, honestly think they are all bringing it. I mean Woods is the worst in ring but he is definitely decent and he is probably the best on mic but both Big E and Kofi have had such epic moments recently. They're consistently stealing the show. Maybe a freebird nomination for New Day as a single entity.

They both came out stronger than they went in
Taker made Brock pass out. Brock made Taker tap.
Can't think of any other way you do it without diminishing rep.
Brock loses fair and square and his ****ing monster run that started with him beating Taker is over
Taker loses any which way and the only way is down.
Excellent booking that for me made absolute sense. I mean if you don't like controversial finishes then pro wrestling probably isn't your thing (general statement rather than aimed at anyone in particular)

It was stupid though.

The finish itself, with the Lesnar flip-off, was perfect. The timekeeper nonsense is what blew.
Since when have timekeepers ever done that? How many times have we seen tap-outs and pinfalls after a ref bump? Hell, Cena pinned Rollins earlier, so why didn't the exact same timekeeper ring the bell then? And of course, they had to do the tap-out on the opposite side of the hard camera, so it had to be at an angle that wasn't even visible to the timekeeper. Stupid all around.
Here's something much simpler they could've done:
- Lesnar feels the tap-out and releases the hold
- Ref says he didn't see it
- Heyman sees it because he was on that side, he gets up on the apron and confronts the ref, distracting him
- Taker low blow, exact same finish

Yeah exactly the timekeeper rubbish was unnecessarily convoluted.

Well yeah there's a leap of faith in the timekeeper ringing the bell but I wouldn't buy Lesnar releasing the hold because he feels a tap out. That would make him look dumb if there's nothing from the ref/bell.
My mate says they should have the timekeeper interviews, have him say that he saw the ref out of position and that he didn't want Brock to break Taker's arm. Brock could then break the timekeeper's arm.
His tongue was firmly in cheek, but you can always allay questions like yours on the next night. Or you can do what they normally do and say nothing about it.

Everything about Big E is amazing. The guy does the best running splash in history after all.
