There’s a funny disconnect between “Brock’s so boringgggg” which is totally understandable and yet at the same time he’s had more than a few truly great matches in this run as well. I’m going to go with the Bryan match just beating out the destruction of Cena (ironic since that would’ve been Bryan if he didn’t get hurt). Seeing Bryan somehow pull off being a plucky underdog AND a complete dick was so much fun. I think it’s Brock’s booking that some fans are a bit burnt out on.

I have two favorites. Brock vs Cena at SummerSlam 2014, and Brock vs Goldberg at Survivor Series 2016.

Didn’t the cena vs Brock match in 2012 get some negative publicity from a parents group over the blood ? I can’t remember the name of the group but I know it get noticed.

Yeah, Brock was an absolute joy to watch during his last run, but I'm just tired of him going after the title every time he returns.

They also just book him to crush and humiliate other wrestlers constantly.

It's criminal that Brock's Extreme Rules match with Cena doesn't get as much praise and attention as the SummerSlam one did. I wholeheartedly agree it was one of John's most iconic moments as a performer/character, winning over that normally hostile Chicago crowd. But it gets overshadowed because of the 2014 one's "LOL, SuperCena got buried, take that!" bullshit that fans want to perpetuate. The SS squash of Cena, much like the streak ending, was completely wasted by them not properly having someone slay Brock until the moment to do so had long passed That’s not really what bothers me about the SummerSlam match. I just don’t like the schadenfreude that some bitter fans get from it.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

I just don’t like the schadenfreude that some bitter fans get from it. I mean, I didn't think it was the bestest thing ever, but I do kinda get why some liked it. I think it would have been better served had it lead to something long term for not only Brock, but more importantly, Cena

Where's the Goldberg option? Their matches at Survivor Series and Wrestlemania were good shit!

Brock vs. Cena at Extreme Rules was amazing and would probably be my favorite if the Punk match never happened. And even though it's not an option on the poll, I also loved the match with Balor. It was a lot of fun, probably because Brock actually got his ass kicked for most of it. Final Boss (who had diverticulitis) vs Guy Who Stomps on Stomachs Definitely was a fun match

Extreme Rules 2012 because that's the only Cena match I've ever watched where I was genuinely worried for his health.
Brock never looked better since that match.

Probably either one of the first two matches with Cena or the Punk one. Maaaybe Balor.
