Punk takes forever to hit his elbow.
Yeah I'm sure the guy who's gotten everything a person could ever want out of the business cares about what a bunch of basement-dwelling virgins think of him. I'm sure the guy who intentionally hitched his trailer to the least popular bunch of guys in the WWF locker room went into the business only caring about being loved.
I think he does, god knows they've tried their damnedest to make that point multiple times despite fans going "meh" whenever he's involved.

Yeah kinda glad I didn't pay for a ticket and stayed home today.
When Kane vs Taker in 98 went to a no contest at least Austin got "fired" that same night

They could have had that match on Raw if that's what they were planning.

Maybe "Battleground"'s PPV "theme" is that on a battleground there are no winners.

Nobody is saying that a non-ending has never happened before, but I'm sure if we gathered some statistics, actual endings happen a LOTTTTTTTTTTTT more frequently than what we saw tonight. You don't have to be a condescending cock nose about it.

In fact a Bray Wyatt crab walk encore would have been a better ending.

Kofi/Bray was actually pretty good. I didn't really know what to expect. None of the actual matches were AWFUL. Even the Khali match had a mark out moment.

Clearly. A defined ending is far more frequent. The notion that the lack of one is something to be outraged over is very silly though.

It would be awesome if shows just started ending with him crab-walking out and then leaving.
Ok seriously though, this was a good way to end it. Bryan getting the title for a third PPV in a row would have been stale. Orton getting it would have been bad for Bryan as a top guy. Since there is a Hell in a Cell PPV next, this is good booking for that match.

No contest finish or not, I think the problem is more that it was a finish more suited for a free episode of Raw and not something you pay $50 for. Seems logical that the free shows would be what sets up the resolution that you pay a shitload of money to see. BUT I DUNNO.
To be honest, for a 3-week-build PPV that's just filler between Night of Champions and Hell in a Cell, the no contest finish was fine.
Anybody Thrilla

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. That was definitely a Raw ending. PPVs are traditionally meant for resolution of some sort, rather than continuation.
At the same time, I do agree with Tedious about neither Bryan or Orton needing that win tonight.

I have to disagree with this. Feuds often last more than one PPV, especially in the main event.

But usually there's a decision in the match. I'm not saying it has to be a clean one or anything...but a decision.
Certainly. But the story usually continues.

I feel like a selling point was that there was going to be a new WWE champion, and that just didn't deliver.
Overall though, I still enjoyed the show, and I think Raw will be interesting.

I just think a $50 PPV should never feel remotely close to a free Raw. It's crazy. I understand there's a shitload of PPVs now but there's gotta be some sort of peak at every PPV to make it more special that what you get for free. I don't get why anyone would happily pay that much money to basically see an episode of Raw.

He brings the "big fight atmosphere". Everything feels like decidedly less of a big deal without him. Also, it will be interesting when he comes back to see him fit into this new corporation angle.

Cena really does feel like the only real main eventer.
Punk, Daniel Bryan, HHH, Lesnar, Rock, Undertaker all feel like Main-Eventers to me.

I love Punk and Bryan, and MAYBE a case can be made for Punk, but Bryan still doesn't really feel like THE man just yet.

that could be because there can only be one guy who is THE man and that's Cena but there can be more than one main eventer

Cena is a guy you can put against pretty much anyone in the main event of WrestleMania and it FEELS like a WrestleMania main event because it features Cena. I don't think you could say the same for anyone else on the roster. That's an example of what I mean by him bringing that "major" feel.

I'm just saying I would be pretty mad if I paid 50$ to see this, if it was only like a 20$ PPV then fine but @ 50$ I would want some closure to send me home happy, They should ended with a different match if they wanted to do that finish.
Also, John Cena needs to hurry back.No no no no no he was in the main storyline for like 5 years straight.

Cesaro is amazing. Thats the type of thing they NEED to do again on Raw, then Turn him face against Zeb and Swagger. Or Turn them against Zeb and make them Face Real Americans. Cesaro as a face pulling off amazing feats of strength every week would just be unreal over.
