I want to see someone with a WM ticket so pissed off over this that they burn the ticket in a youtube video. The more expensive the ticket the more awesome...

The Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt match was stellar.
The Brock vs. Big Show match did what it had to do. The fans shit all over the Cena vs. Orton match because it deserved it. But in hindsight, it was a decent bout. The Rumble was fucking great until the last 3 people. After that the fans started to shit all over it and I started to shit all over it. No one gives a fuck about Batista returning. I hope they save this at Elimination Chamber. Have Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns added to the main event at WM. The fans are sick of fucking Randy and Cena, and Batista. We want new blood. Keep Cena in a feud with the Duck Dynasty. That's the best way to generate ratings amongst the retarded people you crave as your audience. |

Pair Randy with someone who can deliver like that and Randy is one of the best wrestlers on the roster. Pair him with someone who is milquetoast and people start to shit on him. |
Well I only posted it because of the great chants from the crowd like Go Fuck Cena. Great match yes.

I just realized... Jake Roberts could have easily taken that spot JBL took that served no purpose. What the hell, WWE?

Also, Jake Roberts probably would have been a better choice to win the thing.

Could we end up seeing Punk/Kane and Bryan/HHH at WM 30?

was looking for some reaction to the rumble that would adequately reflect my disgust for the way this was booked. In my search, I found this gif.

This could turn into quite the movement for Daniel Bryan if the WWE play their cards right.
|
I posted this in another thread as well but...
Excluding Hogan because of his age and abilities at this point, if your name is not Austin or Rock, you should never just be able to come in and get a World title shot or win a match or the Rumble to headline a WM. There is even an exception to this rule and this rule is even more true when you have a phenomenon like Daniel Bryan who is as over as he is and getting the reactions he has been getting. |
This was taken by a guy on Twitter. Batista flipped off a fan.

My Live Thoughts:
Both NAO and Rhodes Bros were over. Not sure how long NAO will hold on to the titles going into Mania season but I figured would be about the time Goldy and Cody break up in time for a match at Mania coming up. Good match. Nothing could follow Bryan/Bray. What a match. Early match of the year candidate for sure, although by December may be over looked by then. I understood Bray going over as it leads him to be a bigger threat to Cena and how the match played our Bryan was set up strong, especially if he was going to be in the Rumble later. (We will get to all that) Brock/Big Show was what it was. If Show did have a broken hand, it makes sense how it played out. Also explains the reason the first match got so much time. Builds Brock up for Mania, etc but I was bored. Speaking of boring, Cena-Orton. Going into this I had no desire at all to see it for the billionth time and I was delighted that I was joined by LOTS of people who felt the same way. Our crowd, I hope was a message to WWE that we are tired of the same bullshit, although I'm sure was for naught. I found it hilarious they turned all the lights off around the crowd when we were doing the Wave. Chants were pretty amazing. The We want Angle and This is Awful started in my section and I'm glad to have been apart of that. It's not even Cena and Orton. It's the BOOKING of it. Rumble is my favorite match of the year for a reason. I enjoyed it, as many did till the last few mins. I knew as soon as we got to about 27 there was no chance at Bryan coming out as they aired a Pre video with Big E, Rey, etc, before the match even started. I knew there was going to be a lot of pissed off people. Batista looked slow and old in the ring quite frankly and if WWE thought the reaction was bad for Cena/Orton, wait till you get an even smarkier crowd at Mania for Batista/Orton. Batista came off as a dick as he left after the PPV, as I'm sure he was annoyed by the response, but there is no reason to respond to a fan like that and to pretty much mock an entire crowd after that. Came off pretty unprofessional. Overall, I don't see Pittsburgh getting a PPV for a long time, Smackdowns and House Shows after that Anger tonight lol but at least I can say I went to my Favorite PPV once in my life. |

was definitely pulling for Bryan to be in the Rumble but really for the "romanticism" of it/"the moment". But thinking about it logically for 5 seconds, Bryan wins the Rumble and without hotshotting the belt to somebody at the next PPV/a pretty ho hum ending to everything Orton has done over the last 5-6 months, that sets up one of two main events, Bryan/Orton or Bryan/Cena, both of which have been done recently and decisively. Whether they booked themselves into that position or not, neither of those really work for your Mania main event. So I understand him not winning/being in it (personally would have loved to see him enter at 30 anyway just to see the crowd's reaction to him being eliminated) "the rumours" state that it'll be Bryan/Sheamus at Mania, which is fine, they've shown previously they can tear the house down. That said, for the crowd interaction it would create, the setting, the perfect ending it would give to the "ultimate underdog"/against the odds story etc, Orton/Batista/Bryan would be great. Not gonna happen but still great. |
thought the show was fine also, all the matches were pretty good, Orton/Cena did well with what they had to work with and if the crowd would have just shut the fuck up and gone with it, they probably would have found themselves really enjoying the finish. Brock/Big Show was what it needed to be (Show is a beast for taking that beating, clearly wasn't enjoying it) Bryan/Wyatt was good, Rumble was the Rumble, fun, had a few nice surprises etc. Didn't think for a second Kofi was going to make that jump.

Even though I think he's complete garbage, it was pretty funny hearing the entire room sing his them when he came out. I laughed and then immediately expressed my distaste for him being back.

The real crime here, is no Heath Slater.

Got around to watching the Rumble earlier.
Bit surprised New Age Outlaws actually won. Bray vs Bryan was amazing. Lesnar vs Big Show was meh but not that bad considering its purpose. Orton vs Cena was boring but :lol: at the booing towards Cena and the random chants. No real confidence that Bray vs Cena feud is going to end well. :lol: at the booing towards Batista and the final part of the Rumble. Crazy how dead set the WWE is on not wanting to truly commit to Bryan as their next mega-star nor caring at how much passion the crowd has for him. |

Orton v. Cena wasn't even a bad match, for real.
|
It was probably their best match IMHO
|
yah, match was fine.
lol @ this http://www.wrestlingrumors.net/we-want-bryan/17205/ WRESTLINGFANSSSSSSSS |
ooooooo I'm gonna go check out gamefaqs. Probably some real good stuff over there.
|
Just watching the replay
I really enjoyed the lesnar/big show beating. Told a story. Thought Lesnar sold the knock out punch really well. |
I'm less "pissed off my guy didn't win" and more "perplexed by the booking decisions".
There were enough people on here that realised that keeping Bryan out of the Rumble match would end with some pissed off fans, surely Vince/HHH knew that would happen too. Why put beloved and perennial good guy Rey Mysterio at #30? Why not put a heel in there so they could at least play off the boos? It's not even like DB HAD to win. He could have been #30, the roof would have come off the place - especially with the speculation that he wouldn't be in there - then you have him eliminated in some nefarious way (by Bray/The Wyatts/The Shield/The Outlaws/anyone) and Batista wins anyway. Holding him out of the match was just needless. |

I don't know why people are being so ridiculous about Batista winning. We all pretty much knew he was the likely winner. Sure, I would have liked to see Reigns win but Batista winning last night was not the problem. The Rumble match sucked in my opinion. This year probably had the least amount of people that I cared about. And the surprises? Most of them were a waste. The problem was the misuse of Daniel Bryan and not having him in the Rumble match, not that Batista won it. I really enjoyed the altercation between he and Reigns. I'd love to see them have a one on one match.
Shut up. |
Also, probably worth mentioning that if all the IWC fanboys had put their hands in their pockets and PAID for any of the PPVs during Bryan's run instead of continuing to stream, maybe Vince would have a little more faith in him.
Unfortunately massive crowd reactions don't put any money in the WWE's bank account. |

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that he won't be main eventing Mania.

Tonight will speak volumes
|
I'm willing to believe all this support for DB is headed somewhere huge and that the WWE is just feeding the flames until the right time.I mean they just can't be that oblivious to the insane amount of support this guy has.
|
It's a bit like that time I got too drunk to go home with a girl and vomitted over myself in the taxi home. All just feeding the flames of lust. I did eventually get there in the end.
|
Just remembered that Cole said Kane had been in 15 straight Rumble matches. Didn't he miss the one where he headlined with Cena?
Unless he meant 15 straight Rumble events. |
Ya, tonight will be key for me.

Fueling the flames |
Watched this just before. Solidified my decision to swerve wrestling. It's just all so boring now. New Age Outlaws are the most charismatic wrestlers in WWE in 2014. That probably shouldn't be the case. Was there supposed to be some kind of drama with CM Punk? Is he anti-corporation? Cause that all fell pretty flat.
|
I was thinking that the bad decision in all of this came back in August when the decision to put Daniel Bryan in the World Title picture first came up. It set up an expectation that WWE actually wanted to push a guy like Bryan as "the man" and that's where this all started. They could have kept him away from the title but still involved in stuff like the Wyatt angle and he'd still get the same reactions but it wouldn't fuck up other matches because the crowds wouldn't have been given the idea that he can be a WrestleMania main event caliber guy. They would have been content with him just being on the card doing awesome stuff like they were before.

Trying to figure out how a Daniel Bryan championship makes more $$ for WWE. Honestly have no idea. Making people angry over him chasing it gets more buzz.
Someone said it above: Yes! chants don't generate cash. |
Exactly. People who are THAT obsessed with Daniel Bryan are gonna watch the show, buy his merchandise (Maybe even MORE so) and chant loudly because they're mostly just huge wrestling nerds. Meanwhile WWE can reap the benefits while looking for way to bring in more fans.
|
Quote:
|
Austin was a guy who could and did bring in a shitload of new wrestling fans. If they didn't think he had the ability to make the company bigger, they would have kept the title off of him, reaped the benefits of the rabid crowd for him that already exists, and focused on someone they thought could bring in a new audience to push as their champion.
|
So Bryan is not a cash cow, but Batista will be? :roll:
|
... No. lol
Bryan DOES make money and is gonna make the company money regardless. He's not gonna sell any more shirts or get louder pops with a belt around his waist and people aren't likely to tune in in droves to see the homeless midget with the generic sounding name that they've never heard of before hold a title. And I mentioned nothing about Batista. I'm not a fan and having him go for the title at WrestleMania seems like a shit idea as well. So pretty much the exact opposite of what you just said. |
Its hilarious how they are doing everything in their power to not give the fans what they want. I guess they welcome the Bryan chants in any main event he's not participating in.
|
actively encouraging the chants in the opening segment of your flagship TV show knowing full well they could continue throughout is not "doing everything in their power to not give the fans what they want"
|
lol Deadspin posted the video of the guy spazzing out that Batista won the Rumble

Well that's one.
Unfortunately the buy rates were down on year for all of the shows headlined by DB. Granted the booking leading to some of those shows was a bit iffy, but the long and short of it is that DB going for the title didn't draw people in. |

DB also Main Evented in the "Down Time" of the year. It wasn't like he crapped the Mania Buy Rate or something. Those PPVs always get lower numbers then say Rumble or Chamber.
|
Quote:
Had the buys been up, more likely Randy would have been given more credit either because he was the champion and/or because the WWE views him as more important. Since they weren't, Bryan took the full blame while the horrible booking and Randy didn't. Bryan's case is almost the same as Punk in the sense it took the WWE a long time to finally realize how popular he was and only did it because Punk managed one of the best ever years for merchandise sales for a wrestler. |

Watched this PPV. The D-Bry/Wyatt match was incredibly awesome.
The Lesnar/Show "match" served its purpose of making Lesnar look like a beast. The crowd was more entertaining than the Cena/Orton match. The Rumble was better than last year's, but you could just feel how the life was sucked out of the fans with no Daniel Bryan. I'm hoping that they have big plans for Daniel Bryan at Mania. Such as wrestling and defeating The Undertaker. Does seem incredibly dumb to have your fanbase going so crazy over a dude and not give him a main spot on your biggest card. I'd even put a hypothetical Bryan/Taker match on after the title match since it would be "the highlight of the night". |
I've liked the idea of having one world title for a while but now they've actually done it, this is one of the few times they could have legitimately done with still having 2 around
