Did the ref say sorry when Ali pinned Bryan?

 

I think that was Ali to Bryan. He landed that 054 knees first to Bryan's upper chest or chin.

 

The great thing is Bryan sees it and reacts.

 

It's so tough to decide, but man, I have a hard time not going with Lesnar.

 

On board with this or no?

 

Jericho had the best one-time debut.

Lesnar had the biggest impact over his first year, followed by Taker and Kane.

 

Sure, but they're only two years too late with it,

 

re: Debuts, for some reason I saw the Undertaker one live - I was 6, and we didn't normally get PPVs, so maybe we were over a family friend's house that ordered them regularly. It was legitimately shocking, because I wasn't a WCW watcher, and I'm not sure if I'd have recognized "Mean Mark" anyway. Also, the Piper era on commentary was short, but Taker's debut was probably a highlight:

Modern era, Jericho slightly edges out Lesnar for me, because of the "cool" factor. Lesnar, he looked like a fucking monster, but plenty of those kind of guys have made surprise returns and debuts over the years.

 

Im going to go with Kanes debut over Jerichos because it was the finish of a 5 sTar match

 

If we're going main-roster debut only, tough to top Paige winning the title in her Raw debut

 

One of the most underwhelming eras in WWE history is over.

Smackdown taped its Christmas night episode this week, after Tuesday's episode. Rusev beat Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States championship. Nakamura held the belt for 156 days, the longest reign since Dean Ambrose had it for nearly a year in 2013-14 and Sheamus followed it up with a 182-day reign.
