WWE Bragging Rights 2010: Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
This felt like two younger promising, hungry mid-card talents going out there & wanting to put on a showstealing match. They ended up doing that successfully; it's an absolute banger of a bout, and both guys looked like million bucks against one another -- Bryan's offense is always killer, but it got that extra sauce to it here w/ Ziggler being in his peak bumping & selling form. Ziggler also delivered in the control segments of his own, and I liked the little story they got going early on with his amateur wrestling past coming out & wanting to challenge the world-renowned pro-wrestling technician Bryan on the mat. ****
WWE RAW 10/25/10: Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
They had that fantastic match at Bragging Rights the night before, and this sure was an extremely nice follow-up to that one. I absolutely LOVED the beginning stuff w/ Ziggler taking Bryan to the mat, Bryan getting out of his control by picking limbs any chance he got, and then ultimately getting tired of Ziggler sitting there & stomping his face. That was some absolutely awesome stuff, and the rest of it rules as well w/ exciting action all the way through. ***1/2
WWE Survivor Series 2010: Daniel Bryan vs. Ted DiBiase Jr.
The match follows the classic structure of heel working on top & the babyface making comebacks, and ultimately getting the win of course. The disappointing part is that Ted Jr. wasn't very compelling at all working the heat; his control periods were just extremely basic stuff, and he showed no charisma or swagger in any of his "stuff". Bryan was wonderful as always, bringing the energy up big time every time he chained them comeback bursts together, making this a good, easy-to-watch match overall for sure. It's not like DiBiase was straight-up BAD, but he just offered nothing of note to the table. Easily the weakest PPV singles match that Bryan had in his 2010 WWE run. ***
