GunnerY2J Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Lesnar had a game SmackDown here comes the pain named after him in a year from his debut. (Edit : he was also in the cover in his debut year) I don't remember how soon was the Hogan thing but the main thing is Hogan had actually aged a lot (unlike Goldberg) in WWE, and I don't remember any hype for hulk hogan at that time, it had all shifted and it still might have been tough for Hogan fans. (I don't know) Everyone's go to wrestler in video games used to be Goldberg and no longer any of the nwo members. Also, Rollins and Bryan would be mid carders or worse if this was the attitude Era or for some years later of it. Actually Bryan was a jobber for a long time, his yes movement and underdog gimmick (which is amazing) is the reason for his success and not his technical wrestling skills. And again it's not a big thing at all, just sad for me and won't like Goldberg losing to the fiend although that's the more predictable and understandable result.

GunnerY2J Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 :p :p I don't know what's so indigestible. Seth rollins and Daniel bryan standing toe to toe and competing with the likes of the rock, stone cold, peak triple h, peak undertaker, masked Kane and Goldberg and surviving to have a chance at the top ? I am not sure, I always assumed this to be agreeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Do you know guys like Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, HBK, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle? These guys have headlined main events of WM, won championships multiple times. And most of them were vs peak Austin, Rock, Undertaker, Kane etc. Heck they booked Y2J to beat Austin and Rock at same PPV. Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan are comparable to these guys. If one is charismatic, technically gifted and has good promo skills, they can be top guy in WWE. I am pretty sure many were pissed off when Y2J and later on Edge were winning championships, but now they are legends. Similarly years later same will be said for Bryan and Rollins. Every type of wrestler can excel if he has ability and gets a proper push. Kofi is a good example in recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Bryan is already a legend and one of the all time best, if not the best. It is not a joke that he was rated as THE best wrestler of the year for 4-5 years straight by Dave Meltzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are excellent as well. Everyone from Jericho, Benoit, gurrero to hbk, Bret hart and angle. I just named a select few. And everyone is ahead of either Rollins or Bryan. Rollins would never even get a chance to call himself the man in the presence of all of these. Edited February 10, 2020 by GunnerY2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerY2J Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Facts are facts. What's the point of discussing facts : what is there is there. I did state hypothetical stuff and personal opinions which can/should be disapproved. Seth Rollins doesn't have the intensity of Benoit, He doesn't have the charisma of Jericho. He doesn't have the technical skills of angle. The heat of eddie. The mic skills of triple h. He was good as a heel but failed when he turned face. All The above ones are also almost complete as well. Guys like hbk, rock, undertaker, Bret hart, were all in one packages. Daniel Bryan does have a decent combination (lacking in some areas for that time) but I am unsure if he would have been considered at that time. Not to forget that physique and even looks mattered a lot more back then it does today. And Benoit and Guerrero had no less physique and strength. (Possibly because of steroids being more used then) Edit : please don't quote me if you don't want more of it :p Edited February 10, 2020 by GunnerY2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I can say similar stuff about so many greats and Goldberg. But it is pointless. As i said, talking in ifs and buts and judging how successful a particular wrestler will be in another Era is futile. How good a particular wrestler is in terms of different aspects is not hypothetical, success in other eras is.
