There is not Daniel Bryan or CM. Punk match that would be pointed out in Greatest of All Time threads
 

Bring it! Let me know which one! Prove me wrong.

Give me one and let me know why. I'll prove you wrong!

What about that one Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk match?!!

Not sure what the point is...?

They are too similar. Opposites attract.

I think I agree with what you're trying to say but for the sake of conversation...

CM Punk vs John Cena at Money in the Bank was pretty great.

I think they were each other's best opponents.

Wait... Are we arguing whether a match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan can be called "one of the best matches of all time" or are we arguing about whether or not any match involving one of the two can be called "one of the best matches of all time"?

If it's the former I'm inclined to agree because I honestly can't name a match between the two from memory. If it's the latter however, I'm inclined to disagree.

I'm more interested in hearing what matches you think are the "best of all time" though. A list like that would be pretty hard to compile in my opinion. There are a lot of factors to take into account like the psychology, in-ring action, buildup, atmosphere, stage, etc.

I made that list years ago. It was glorious.

Really? If you find the time I'd love to get a link to it. I'm curious based on your usual attitudes what your top matches would be. I imagine it'd be an interesting read to say the least.

Cena v Punk at mitb was a fucking stellar match
Arguably one of the GOAT.

Meltz gave it 5 star.

As I look back on it now I'm curious why I put certain things where. But there.

Punk/Cena Money in the Bank 2011

Bryan/Sheamus Extreme Rules 2012

Agree with all the MITB match votes, one of the best thrill rides of a match ever with everything going on at the time.

Bryan might not have had that one single GOAT match contender, but he had matches one step lower more consistently than most.

This was a really good match.

Probably my favorite matches from both guys.

MitB is pretty much a given, but Bryan/Sheamus was really insanely good. That's what they should have done at Wrestlemania instead of the whole 18 second thing. It was overshadowed on that very card by the hype machine because of Brock/Cena, and to a lesser extent Jericho and Punk's streetfight, but it was DEFINITELY match of the night and one of my favorites ever. Seriously. Go back and watch it right now. Classic stuff. Easily the best 2 out of 3 falls match ever, if nothing else.

Bryan/Ziggler Bragging Rights 2010. If i remember right, it was tied with Taker/HBK for MOTY.

Always thought that 18 second match should have been set for "Big Show vs Cody Rhodes" since Cody kept saying Big Show was an embarrassment at WrestleMania.

Yeah, that match was tight. The US title match, was it?

Oh yeah, that would have been a good idea. Was that the same show?

Yes :y:

correct it was for the title.

Great match indeed, but I guess that sort of begs the question if a match needs a certain modicum of hype and spectacle to ascertain the prestigious legacy as a GOAT. Bryan/Ziggler at Bragging Rights was certainly more impressive athletically than Hogan/Andre, but...ya know what I mean? What's the criteria for this sort of thing?

I see what you mean, yes it would be a Classic for the Quality of the Match but as far as the lack of story goes it kind of puts it out of the running, now if they would've had say a Hair vs title match it could have made it even better.

Bryan Vs Punk 2012 Money in the bank was fucking fun to watch.

Do you mean Over the Limit?

He means MITB 2012 with AJ as the ref.

Ohhh, I barely remember either of those, honestly.

they were both great. Too much over saturation though since the early 2000s. All matches tend to blend into one.

There was like Punk vs Bryan, Punk vs Bryan 2, and then Punk vs Bryan vs Kane

That entire PPV was booked so methodically well. It felt really old school. I wish they could put that much care into booking every show. Those 3 main matches were just perfect. They even turned an intense "fuck Cena" smark crowd into cheering like mad for him by the end of the match. I don't know what drug the booking team was on that night but I wish they would have kept taking it.

If there ever was some sort of TPWW Greatest Match Ever tournament type thread, have to think both Bryan-Cena at SumemrSlam 2013 and Punk-Cena at MitB 2011 would get included in the bracket.

For direct matches, Punk-Bryan at Over the Limit 2012 was pretty great overall.

Yeah, I rank this towards the top of my all time favorite shows as a whole.

I like this idea...

Bret Hart vs Steve Austin wins every time

That's because they are heavyweights and nobody cares about skinny fat cruisers.

Chicago ppv crowds baby. Yours truly was at both of these shows.

Bryan / HHH @ WM30? No?

No.
