Bryan vs. Starks Death Match Discussion

[Lizuka #BLM]

I knew Bryan was acclaimed as a chain wrestler but goddamn.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

starks should go out next week not with a neck brace like roddy but in the full body cast like that spongebob episode

[HMARK Center]

This is all to get Starks back to being a babyface, and it's going to work very well, because god damn these two just made two matches feel like an epic year-long feud.

I know "Star making loss" is overused but Starks has had back to back ones, and if this leads to him going back face, it was an amazing way to do it

That dude needs a world title

What was the finish? I wasn’t able to watch

Danielson essentially murdered Starks to keep him down. Choked him out, Flying knee'd a chair into his face, and then flying knee'd him in the head with a chain wrapped around his knee. Brutally fantastic.

I love when a BCC member is like "I know Punk just f***ed you over so let's rehab that by beating the absolute shit out of each other." It's only happened twice but still.

Moxley is going to ask for a program with Starks as soon as he gets cleared I reckon. The sort of style Starks is learning and thriving in is right up Moxley's street.

Bryan vs Starks feels like one of the best Plan B moves ever. Like, do I think Punk vs Starks would have made for some good matches further? Sure. Would they have been this good? Absolutely goddamn not.

Danielson really is a Plan B Player.

[Clutchhausen]

That ruled. So much fun. Danielson is the best wrestler in the world.

I caught a good chunk of the match and it was a very good match. They beat the heck out of each other the entire match and the finishing sequence with Danielson kicking the crap out of Starks and then using the knee with the chain wrapped around it to finally finish him off was really well done.

Plan B+ Player, even.

That's a nice little spot for him!

CM Punk punching air rn.

I know 50/50 booking sucks, but I really think Starks should have won one of these matches. He looked good in defeat but I don't really see the point in doing two hardcore gimmick matches only to have Starks lose both.

[Soultastic]

I don't care what order, Bryan and Starks should be the next two world champions.

Normally I would agree, but during his AEW run, Danielson has lost every time when the chips were down, dude really needed those wins after he lost to MJF and failed to avenge Regal. Dude needed the wins a lot more than Starks did.

I think it depends on what the plans for Starks are. IMO, pushing a newer guy like Starks is more important than pushing someone who's already made like Danielson is, but that's probably something a lot of people would disagree with me over.
