I'm not saying this was better than that match (I have that at 10/10 and this at 9.25/10). I just don't understand why people hate this one so much. Yes, you can look at something else they could have done and said "doing it this way probably would have been better" but just because that would have been "better" does not mean that this was in any way bad- or even that it wasn't really darn great.supersonic wrote:Revisit HBK's return match against HHH, which involved non-sanction rules and back injury psychology, then get back to us.
HHH is showing in recent years some really grating stubbornness to adjust his in-ring philosophy. While it worked perfectly with an all-time technical and babyface wizard like Danielson, it didn't benefit Lesnar, Reigns, or Rollins, who needed their matches against him to be spectacles of different flavors with some true peaks-and-valleys like the mentioned classic against HBK.
And I also don't see how you can possibly judge the effect this has had on Rollins less two weeks after the match.
