The Official Night of Champions Thread

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The WWE universe is going with the most known names.

How does that explain Booker T beating Ric Flair?

[slik]

lol @ the whistle.

Titus O'Neil is great.

[slik]

How does that explain Booker T beating Ric Flair?

My only guess is everyone else cancelled eachother out.

[Emperor Smeat]

wow at how Rollins sold that.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Believe in the Shield!

[Cool King]

Aw damn.

[slik]

Good tag match

[Razzamajazz]

not a single title change yet

[KIRA]

lol @ the whistle.

Titus O'Neil is great.

He just runs over Rollins the whole match... lol

[Cool King]

A wild Ryback appears!

[Cool King]

It'll be DX.

[Razzamajazz]

lol dx

[slik]

DX isn't really a tag team. At least not that those two members of DX.

[Cool King]

Oh....I am shocked at the result. :|

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Of course. Everyone remembers the classic tag title reign of Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Greatest tag team champions of all time!

[KIRA]

The tag-team poll is a sham

Edge and Christian The Outlaws,I don't even remember Shawn and HHH's reign
.

[Emperor Smeat]

Makes sense why a few teams weren't included but would have interested in how the split would have been if it was between LoD, DX (NOA or HHH/HBK), Dudleys, Hardys, and Edge/Christian.

[#1-norm-fan]

I bet someone interferes in this "no interference" match.

[slik]

I predict Orton will retain due to shenanigans and Bryan will chase the title for several more ppvs.

[Cool King]

I'm sure us TPWW'ers are all chanting "YES!" in our rooms.

[Cool King]

I bet someone interferes in this "no interference" match.

And "it's best for business" will be used to explain why.

[slik]

Hogan!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hahahah 4 percent for Triple H.

[owenbrown]

Well it's 10:30pm eastern it should be 10:58 before Orton reaches the ring

[Razzamajazz]

wow, hogan

[#1-norm-fan]

Well they got that one right at least.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not really a surprise unless you are shocked they didn't cheat the poll. Hogan should win.

[Cool King]

Well it's 10:30pm eastern it should be 10:58 before Orton reaches the ring

It's 3:30am here.

A part of me wishes I was currently in my bed.

[Razzamajazz]

i thought it would be austin

[Poit]

#DeanAmbroseGuy

I read that as #DeanAmbroseGay and got hopeful for a moment.

[KIRA]

Hahahah 4 percent for Triple H.



That made me smile I'm not the only one who thinks Triple H sucked as champ.

[Cool King]

I haven't seen Mike Chioda refereeing tonight.

I thought that this would be his match.

[Cool King]

I read that as #DeanAmbroseGay and got hopeful for a moment.

lol

[slik]

Hahahah 4 percent for Triple H.

I actually did LOL

[#1-norm-fan]

Need something major to happen here to save this PPV. It has felt insanely "minor".

[slik]

I read that as #DeanAmbroseGay and got hopeful for a moment.

You and me both.

:shifty:

[slik]

Need something major to happen here to save this PPV. It has felt insanely "minor".

The only option I could see outside of interference is Bryan wins and is stripped of the title tomorrow on RAW

[GD]

JBL referring to Randy Orton as a 10-time champion instead of a 7-time WWE Champion (not discounting his reigns as World Heavyweight Champion).

[Poit]

I haven't seen Mike Chioda refereeing tonight.

I thought that this would be his match.

Didn't he referee the Heyman/Axel/Punk match?

[#1-norm-fan]

The only option I could see outside of interference is Bryan wins and is stripped of the title tomorrow on RAW

Or tonight. I can actually kinda see Big Show coming out and not knowing who to punch and then hitting Orton "accidentally", letting Bryan get the pin and then Triple H comes out afterward and strips him because he said "no interference".

[#1-norm-fan]

lol If this PPV just ends with Bryan losing clean...

[slik]

SHENANIGANS

[Cool King]

Ref Bump.

[Poit]

Vintage ref bump!

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, Bryan's gonna win it but Triple H is gonna reverse the decision because it wasn't the official ref or something.

[Poit]

Wait... a new ref comes out before a pin or submission? WTF?

[KIRA]

can't believe DB kicked out of the Bo Dazzler.

[Cool King]

Bryan will win and Triple H comes out and says "no, you didn't win as the referee that was assigned to this match didn't call the finish."

The match restarts and Orton hits an RKO, pins Bryan and wins.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm... is Scott Armstrong gonna screw Bryan?

[#1-norm-fan]

lol What is going on with this match? I feel like they're writing it as it happens and they still haven't figured out an ending so they're just stalling.

[Razzamajazz]

fast count shenanigans

[Cool King]

That was a fast count!

[dronepool]

!!!!

[Poit]

That was a fast count...

[Razzamajazz]

lol if somehow sandow cashed in on him

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm... is Scott Armstrong gonna screw Bryan... 's opponent, Randy Orton?

[GD]

That was a super fast count. I hope this doesn't end as Jericho's first unrecognized WWE Championship reign.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fast count wouldn't matter. Nobody kicks out from the Knee for Brie.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This will be overturned tomorrow.</font>

[Cool King]

Oh, so it's ending with the fast count?

Well, the fast count will probably be brought up on Raw tomorrow.

[dronepool]

I was waiting for HHH.... holy shit!!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't get what that ref bump was all about/how it will play into things.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Match can't be reversed since the PPV is over and the match can't be restarted. Daniel Bryan is officially WWE Champion!

[#1-norm-fan]

Match can't be reversed since the PPV is over.

I don't know. I'd have to see the rule book on this one...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Isn't that a bottle of jack daniels at HBK's house?

[Emperor Smeat]

<font color=goldenrod>This will be overturned tomorrow.</font>

Yeah already has all the similarities with Jericho's "It Never Happened" moment.

Got the ref bump, the fast count, and Triple H being involved. All that's left is the title being overturned and some sort of punishment for the ref for embarrassing the regime.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think the fast count just might have been cause they were up against the clock or something.

"Hey, Scott! We need to trim 1-2 seconds off this PPV! Count fast!"

[dronepool]

If this gets overturned he still is technically the 2X champ, right?

[Cool King]

I don't get what that ref bump was all about/how it will play into things.

Triple H could probably make an excuse and view John Cone coming out to cover for Scott Armstrong as being "interference" from Cone.

So he has to reverse the decision as it's "good for business".

[Cool King]

That, or the fast count will be brought up.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Scott Armstrong will be fired and Road Dogg will come out and tear Triple H a new asshole in upcoming weeks and get fired too.

[Lock Jaw]

This was probably one of the worst PPVs I have ever seen. The second best match of the night featured the Prime Time Players.

[KIRA]

<font color=goldenrod>This will be overturned tomorrow.</font>

This,and I look foward to the mountain of boos when that happens.

[Lock Jaw]

I like that they keep showing the replay where you can hear Ryback asking Punk if he's ok after putting him through the table.

I thought it was the ref asking Ryback if he was ok. Something seemed off with Ryback for a few moments after he hit it. Thought he had a Goldberg moment and knocked himself out or something.

[Blitz]

This was probably one of the worst PPVs I have ever seen. The second best match of the night featured the Prime Time Players.
You have seen very few PPVs, apparently.

Thought it was a very good show. Anyone who still thinks Bryan has been buried or otherwise diminished by his angle, have a word with yourself. I've been going to wrestling shows for 20 years, and he received one of the single most passionate crowd reactions I've ever seen tonight. He's the top baby in the company right now for fun.

[#1-norm-fan]

This was probably one of the worst PPVs I have ever seen. The second best match of the night featured the Prime Time Players.

I wouldn't say "one of the worst" but yeah, it wasn't very good.

Say what you want about him but Cena brings a "major" feel to PPVs that was missing tonight.

[Lock Jaw]

You have seen very few PPVs, apparently.

No, I just have a terrible terrible memory.


Still a pretty bad show.

[Shisen Kopf]

Curtis Axel is terrible. Worst rassler in the WWE right now.

[#1-norm-fan]

Now that Alex Riley is a commentator, I agree.

[Lock Jaw]

Can't imagine being there live and being forced to see Curtis Axel rassle twice.

[glanville6]

It was a really, really weird show. HHH acting all face and all.

Like, the whole last month was a test for Orton and Bryan.

I don't know. I HATED the fast count, I love that Bryan won, but don't think that I'm gonna like what happens tomorrow.

[Lock Jaw]

[Juan]

I don't know what's gonna happen on Raw tomorrow, but for now I will enjoy this. Please join me

[Juan]

It's been reported for weeks now that this Bryan/Orton angle is gonna go on for a few more PPV's so even if the decision is overturned, there's still a chance for Bryan to get his revenge so I'm not too worried about it

[Shadrick]

As of right now, Daniel Bryan is the WWE Champion. I'm going to bask in this.

[glanville6]

Its so hard to be excited, though. If he loses tomorrow, that sucks, but fine. But if he's stripped or "it never happened"...that will bug me.

Remind myself... its not real. Its not real.

Its still real to me, damnit!

[#1-norm-fan]

Why would you prefer him losing it to him getting stripped of it?

[Volare]

Holy fuck tag team wrestling was on a ppv! And Ziggler lost clean...let the doghouse references continue.

[Lock Jaw]

Imagine if Daniel Bryan wins the WWE Title every month, only to repeatedly be stripped of it by Triple H or otherwise have the decision overruled. IWC would just quit.

[ortonisawful]

that overrated jobber Orqueer ends up on her back like she belongs..all is right with the world.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol This guy.

[Shadrick]

uh oh fan we got a badass here

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Need GayForOrton123 to balance things out here

[Bad News Gertner]

Have a feeling the bait and switch with 3MB not being on the ppv is REALLY going to hurt Raw's numbers tonight.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Don't really understand putting the belt on him already, hope there is a fuckjob. I love DB and want him to be champion, but if this is legit, it's a total hot shot move.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Allegedly, the ref that made the count at the end was someone who was going to speak out against Triple H on the WWE app one commercial break during Raw. Can't find it anywhere, so not sure how accurate it is.

[Savio]

I wish they replaced Ryback with Big E, but who knows might save that for later.

[Savio]

After getting his ass kicked 8 shows in a row he needed the win.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ryback should just show up and sqaush the shit out of Bryan.

[Cool King]

The PPV was good, but it just didn't have that "PPV feel" to it. It just felt like a very special episode of Raw.

The Tag Team Turmoil match was good along with the title match. Curtis/Kofi was quite good and actually surprising as I thought Curtis was going to lose. The Diva's title match was alright but the outcome was stupid, and I'm not just saying that because of my dislike of AJ. It actually was stupid in my opinion.

The World Title match was another good match that at the time, I didn't like that it ended via DQ, but thinking about it now, we're most likely to see a No DQ rematch, most probably at Battlefield, so I look forward to that. Miz/Fandango was your expected non-title match at NoC. To be honest, I wasn't actually that interested during the match.

Axel & Heyman/Punk was pretty good too and I was somewhat surprised that Axel was doing double duty and having two matches, but I do actually enjoy watching Curtis Axel, but like the majority of people, I think he needs to stay away from the mic, or at least practice with it more. The ending was unexpected and it does look like that Ryback is the new "Heyman Guy", which I can't help but think that it means that Axel's time with Heyman is now over and he'll slowly be distanced from Heyman now. On the other hand, we could see a tag team of Lesnar and Ryback which is interesting but somewhat of a longshot.

Ambrose/Ziggler was enjoyable but it was pretty obvious that Ziggler wasn't going to win, but even though it was obvious, the match was still enjoyable. The WWE Title match was again, good but like everyone else, the "talking point" seems to be, and rightfully so, is the fast count. Did I like the fast count? Not really, but I'm pretty sure the decision will be reversed tonight on Raw.

Overall, it was a good PPV that furthered storylines, created new ones and produced some good matches. So no disappointment here. :y:

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

After getting his ass kicked 8 shows in a row he needed the win.

I guess this is the wrestling world we're living in, but come on, it was a friggin month! He had JUST pinned John Cena clean. I'm just saying it's all a little anti climactic. If you're going to give a guy a big build and a big storyline, make it all mean something. Not a hotshot win on a b pay per view.

And I've been in support of the storyline the whole way through until now. They could have held off until survivor series but instead they're going to play hot potato with the title belt it seems.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Paul Heyman just has the best facial expressions of anyone in wrestling.

I would have agreed with you on holding off the title win for Byran, I think he should have beaten HHH at this PPV, then orton at HIAC. But if he didn't win tonight after 8 straight beat down it would be hard to keep me interested.

[Poit]

After getting his ass kicked 8 shows in a row he needed the win.

More accurately, Orton kicked Bryan's ass 7 shows in a row, then Bryan kicked Orton's ass 2 shows in a row.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Well there could always have been a cheap finish after Bryan had gained the upper hand. This was a "C" pay per view essentially, a cheap finish wouldn't have mattered that much. Something as simple as Bryan was kicking Orton's ass and Orton hoofed him in the balls in front of the ref. Maybe have Bryan recover and beat the fuck out of him, tear Orton's shoulder up in a yes lock after he snaps. Get the Fans going nuts for him, but keep the title off of him until Survivor Series. HHH could suspend him etc.

But I agree he shouldn't have got the match against Orton immediately... maybe not have fought HHH because I feel like HHH does not give guys that great of a rub (minus Jeff Hardy during Jeff's big push). Could have even had him beat Big Show or something along those lines. Hotshotting the title onto him (if they don't make a change tonight) is just so anti-climactic.

[Savio]

did anyone Mention Alicia fox's 23rd face turn tonight?

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm hoping this doesn't just end up with Triple H saying tonight "There were shenanigans, so we'll have a rematch at Battleground" and then just ending Raw with a beatdown of the new champion. This feud feels like it's losing heat fast. Bryan getting stripped would at least throw some drama back into it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Like if they were just going to put the belt back on Bryan the ppv after summerslam, legit no point in doing the whole angle. Let it simmer for a few much til it reaches full boil.

[Corndad]

My guess is he gets Stripped ala Jericho style tonight at start of Raw.

If not, it's not a bad thing either. Rebellious Champion. Could make him defend every show, Handicap Title matches, etc. Ala Austin

Now that, I couldn't predict.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

[Lock Jaw]

I think I said it before, possibly in this thread, but Swagger looks so much better with longer hair and five o'clock shadow. When he returned before Mania, he looked kinda like a badass. Now he is back to looking like a goof.

[The Rogerer]

Where is James Steel to tell him that Triple H's return is a joke and has killed a pretty good run of shows. Now if any lapsed fans return they'll have to enjoy these turgid shows and switch off the same old shite. NoC started with a fucking 15 minute (count them) promo. What a load of shite.

[The Rogerer]

Not content is he to make the show entirely about him once again, with a level of charisma and talent that is nowhere near a McMahon, he also has to suck the air out of the start of a PPV with a segment where he decides to suck a load of face heat out of the Heyman feud. I thought a small mercy was that we'd get a match out of the promo, meaning it was actually relevant for a change, and then bloody Kofi Kingston

[Bad News Gertner]

I'd like to have a word with you.

[KIRA]

Good god Triple H sucks...I mean the man not the character,hell even WWE universe recognizes that he sucked based on that NOC poll.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah... Let's not take those polls into account for anything. BOOKA T.

[Tommy Gunn]

Just watched the PPV, pretty much could tell that they were gonna take the belt from Bryan again to milk another month out of this feud.

If Raw is just another 3 weeks of Shield / Orton beating up Bryan, and Big Show punching people cause he's got no money, then I'm gonna continue to lose interest.

[Juan]

This feud feels like it's losing heat fast.

Losing heat with who exactly?

[Juan]

Bryan is on the same boat with guys like Punk and Jericho. They can lose every match they're in but they are still gonna be over. If anything, it's on Orton (and to a lesser extent, HHH) to help keep this angle fresh.

[Juan]

When Bryan was getting beat down after every Raw, he'd be just as over (if not more) the very next week. The only people the angle "lost heat" with, was the IWC.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does Daniel Bryan turn heel at Survivor Series like the Rock did in 1998?

[Shadrick]

so no one is gonna comment on how swagged out and kinda weird Cesaro looks stripping the cape off on his run to the ring?

[Tommy Gunn]

The Real Americans should be kings of the tag division, as soon as a face team takes the belts from The Shield, it'll be time for the WE THE PEOPLE power era.
