The PG era was the era of the B+ player. Guys like Cena Batista and Orton headed up a sub-par era where virtually nothing truely memorable ever happened beyond ratings dropping and wondering why nobody was allowed to replace them

Batista never had a classic match.
Orton has the match with Cactus.

>good match
Do you mean meltzer logic where that means a generic main event title match template with x amount of near falls, x amount of spots and a reference to a previous match that is just the same spot that is in every match?
Then all of his title matches ever.

For some reason, Lesnar's name pops up all the time but I think he is consistently great.

Brock has more good matches/ memorable moments in a year than RKO does in his career, no hyperbole. And hes only part time.

>The PG era was the era of the B+ player. Guys like Cena
Cena gave us plenty of matches and memories. I bet you can ask a Orton fan what there favorite Orton moments/matches are and they would be stumped. The dude is only a finisher.

OP here and even though I'm kinda burying the guy, I have to commend him as a carny. Getting a lot of guys wish they could get as over as him with just a finisher.
