No love here for Daniel Bryan.

>> It's time for WWE AL AN episode, and to know more about what's on the WWE network.
Joining me today is WWE superstar Mansoor.
Mansoor, it's always a pleasure to have you with us.
>> The pleasure is mine.
>> Today, I'm gonna ask you, what have you been watching lately on the WWE network?
>> I mean WWE network is what I do when I have my breakfast,
lunch, and dinner, [LAUGH] and sometimes my wife joins me.
The first show that I would recommend to watch is SummerSlam 2013.
This is a stacked card, and actually,
it's kind of the show that inspired me to become a WWE superstar.
The main event is, of course, Daniel Bryan versus John Cena for the WWE Championship.
This is an amazing, epic, long, back and forth contest.
John Cena in the absolute prime of his career.
In my argument, he was never better than this.
Taking it to probably at the time, the best wrestler in the world and
Daniel Bryan.
And arguably, to this day, I mean, these are two of some of
my favorite superstars, and they are just as a superstar myself.
And as someone who aspires to be great and legendary,
it's my chef's kiss, like these two have amazing chemistry.
And then of course, there's a surprise at the end of the show that made me and
my sisters, when we were watching live, freak out.
I mean, this was a crazy twist at the end,
I won't spoil it in case you've never seen it before.
The other match that I'd recommend WrestleMania 22.
This is one of the first WrestleManias that I ever watched,
I think I was maybe 11 years old, or 12 years old.
And in Saudi, I never got to watch pay per view, so
this is like the first pay per view I ever got to watch, and it was crazy.
I mean, I was loving it, I think the match of the night for
me was Edge and Mick Foley in a hardcore match, this match was insane.
I mean, this was the first most brutal hardcore match I've ever seen.
With a flaming table,
Edge spearing Mick Foley out of the ring onto a flaming table.
I mean, that was crazy for me, I was trying to make
that happen in the video game for months after that, it was so incredible.
I think John Cena and Triple H was the main event of that show,
which was a really great match.
And I think one of the first matches that really ushered in John Cena as
a main event superstar, as the guy who would ultimately carry WWE for,
I mean, really over a decade.
Yeah, pretty much a decade, a little bit of change after that.
So it's a really, really great piece of history.
The third show I would recommend, I think would be, this one is way, way back.
I didn't watch it as a kid because I was too young, but
I watched it recently for its historical value.
And I think it would be WCW Halloween Havoc 1997.
I believe it's 97, but it might be 96.
This match, or I'm sorry, the show was really special mostly for
one match, and that was Ray Mysterio versus Eddie Guerrero.
This match blew my mind today, and it was 1997.
I mean, if you took that match in 1997, and
you put it on television on pay per view today, it would still blow people's minds.
That's how amazing it is.
Eddie and Ray do things in this match that I have never seen, and
probably will never see.
Because their chemistry was so amazing, and they were so
incredibly athletic, and creative.
And it still had that intensity, and that violence, and that commitment.
I mean especially from Eddie, I mean, Eddie was really something.
You always hear superstars talk about how amazing Eddie Guerrero was, and
it's for good reason.
I mean, it wasn't just the things he could
do off the top rope, or off any of the ropes.
Just the intensity that he had was amazing combined with that,
you don't always get that.
You don't always get extremely athletic superstars were able to do all this crazy
stuff.
But then when it's time to fight, when it's time to really get down
to business with with just your fists, and your boots, and body slams, and suplexes.
So crisp and so just rugged, You know what I mean?
While Mysterio,
I mean, I can't say anything about Mysterio that hasn't already been said.
One of the greatest of all time, one of the most influential superstars of
all time, the most legendary masked wrestler of all time, I would say.
His influence, and just the value of what he
has done for superstars like me even.
So yeah, those are the three shows that I recommend.
If you're just browsing along the WWE network,
check those out because you won't regret it.
>> Well, you heard them these are Mansoor's recommendations.
So please subscribe to the WWE network to watch all of them that we chose and
much, much more.
I'm Nathalie Mamo, thank you for watching the WWE AL AN.
