I love the fact Bryan has so many finishers, really adds a tension to everything he does and you're not sitting there waiting for the first finisher kickout for the match to shift into another gear.

Fantastic match. Hard to say which of the two I like better, since they were both amazing and showcased how versatile both guys are.
They really had me believing Danielson might win, so it was that much sweeter when Page got the pin.

It really just shows why Danielson is the GOAT. Anyone could do this, it's not hard, and yet the average wrestler kills any tension in 70% of their match by only ever ending things with their finisher. Moxley also varies up his match endings.

Great match. Danielson is the GOAT.
As for who’s next for Hangman, I’m guessing either Cole or Moxley.

I’d wait on Moxley for a bit, only because when he comes back, most likely he is gonna be a big babyface. Especially coming back from rehab. But those two would be great challengers. Miro would be a good one too when he comes back.

What I love about heel Danielson is that the guy is basically best booked like a monster heel, which is absurd on the surface but it just works

Miro would be a good one too when he comes back. Yeah my guess for Revolution is Cole-Page. Cole was number 2 in the rankings before the Bryan match. They can do Bryan-Moxley at Revolution if he’s back by then. To go along with MJF-Punk and I assume Bucks-ReDragon and Jericho-Kingston. Throw in Cody defending the TNT title (squashed by Keith Lee would be my choice). Should be a really stacked card.

You know, I heard em say this on a Fightful podcast but given his recent AEW run, we might need to say it. Like, we've said it before but let's talk about it in detail.
Is Bryan in the discussion as being a GOAT? Man's had his ROH career, man had his WWE career including that WM win, man's now doing his AEW run and he's putting on classic after classic after classic. That's 3 different companies all giving you the emotion, storylines, all around greatness along with top notch wrestling, all through it. I cannot for the life of me think of someone who's done this in 3 different companies quite to this level. He'll probably do this for at least 5 more years but I think wherever he is, he can be discussed as being in that GOAT category. Forreal.
Like, Bryan's in that Jericho territory if you ask me from a wrestling talent perspective. He's got moments, matches, skill, promos, longevity, different characters, like, he's really doing it.

Both of those are possible and you also have whoever comes out of the Punk/MJF feud. Not sure how long this reign will last but they've got a great lineup of challengers for him.

Yep and if he can carry on being this good and do the same in a NJPW run then it'll be increasingly hard to argue against him.

I think I liked the first match a bit more, but this one had some cool spots.
- Hangman doing the jumping jacks covered in blood - Hangman turning the ring post attack against Bryan - The headbutt battle - Bryan doing the Lebell Lock whilst digging into Hangman's head and looking like he's trying to scalp him - The Buckshot to win it
Okay maybe this was better

I liked the first one a lot more, but an incredible match in its own right.
To be honest I feel like the two together make one, super long, jaw dropping match.

Yeah, I don't think there's a guy in his generation at least that's adapted more to the climates he's in than Danielson. You could put him in the biggest arenas of the biggest promotions and not get the same match which isn't something anyone can pull off, never mind do it seamlessly. His story isn't even something comparable to anyone else. Even outside the circumstances of the screwjob, could you imagine if Bret Hart lost in a dignified manner by putting over someone and then went to WCW to face Savage in a classic on his first match in the company? That was just unthinkable. Jim Neidhart got a more dignified exit from the WWF and he was Jim Neidhart! But Vince had so much respect for the guy, he let him have a classic with Roman Reigns, let him leave on his own terms and his first match in a new company was against Kenny Omega. Like, what? How?!

I liked Bryan playing to the judges. Good heel work there.

On a slightly different front. Between this, and the two Wrestle Kingdom matches, I DESPERATELY want AEW and NJPW to make Danielson vs. Okada happen. Shibata has to be first for Bryan from New Japan. There’s a good story to tell there with Bryan’s move set targeting the head.

I'll be honest : at first, it bugged me that while Bryan was working Page's arm for a while, and the commentary was selling it as "Bryan's doing this to weaken the arm and the Buckshot lariat", Hangman basically was ignoring it all when on the offense, hitting clotheslines, chops, diving clotheslines, springboard clotheslines left and right, and so on, with the exact same arm.
But then they forgot all about it, went into bloody mode, and it was fine.
(Hangman Page still doesn't quite work for me as a main eventer/champion, though, I'm not sure why)

Absolutely. I think his closest historical comparison is Terry Funk. If the pandemic ever ends, his run in Japan should only cement that.
