They easily could have done way better. After Seth hits the Fiend with the sledgehammer, you could have had Seth go for the cover. Fiend kicks out at one. Fiend then does everything he did after the bell rang but then the lights go out and he’s gone, leaving Seth bleeding in the ring but the Fiend is gone

This was probably the lesser of evils considering there should have been no way Bray won the belt BUT he also couldnt really afford to lose the match either. They got enamored with the concept of locking Seth in the HIAC with Bray as the fiend but didnt think it through completely.

Potential concern: if/when FOX eventually pushes Vince over bad ratings, he'll just resort to the same shit he did with USA. "OK, how about I bring back some legends!" "What about a Wild Card rule?"
It's just gonna keep being the same Band-Aid shit. |

So wwe last night pretty much made the case that the fiend was unbeatable having taken over a dozen finishers, chair shots etc. Wonder if they'll remember that in a few months time, kinda doubting it.

Oh, I had no doubt that Vince was thinking “Listen to that reaction! Job well done!”.

It’s about principle. Even if we don’t make much of an impact, we shouldn’t support a horrible product with our finances. Especially not when there are so many better alternatives in the market. While I have some interest in RAW today, I might skip it.

I don’t even think The CyNick could’ve justified that finish.

I had to renew yesterday. My subscription was supposed to run out today but somehow it got cut off without me canceillng it (yes, I'm sure) back in late September. So now, I'm ironically stuck in WWE Network hell until early February.

I was more annoyed with Brock beating Kofi and how that went down than the HIAC match.

I'll watch both Wednesday shows, but I'm off the main rosters, and I'm sure as hell not paying for the shitty performing Network just to see 4 or 5 Takeovers. As great as the Takeovers will surely be, it's not worth supporting that company the way it is run with any of my money. |

Be interesting to see the crowd reaction tonight on raw, be funny if they totally shat on the show just to have old Vinny flipping out backstage.

I knew there was no way Wyatt was winning that match because Vince hates putting over hot characters. Vince loves to take those characters back down to earth before giving them the belt. But yeah how many times have they christened the audience to believe HIAC is the most dangerous and most brutal match in WWE history. and then they stop it with the same gimmick HHH did 400,000 times

Seth hit a toolbox that was on a ladder that was on a chair with a sledgehammer. How they are trying to spin the red stopped it for Brats safety, when Bray was up 2 minutes later destroying Rollins is worse then saying it was a DQ. Once they see Bray is fine, restart the match. Bray was just ok with the match ending, and having a standard post match attack, to the point they did the laugh and him standing at the top of the ramp like he just did a random attack on Mick Foley again?I Seth after the show having a fit because fans booed that shit, and had a Seth isn't cool sign shows he is just as Vince. Like did he actually think that was good? What a fucking joke. |

lol has he done another rant since WWE "clarified" the finish of the match and said it wasn't a DQ?

Probably since the newest episode of Observer Radio was a couple hours ago.
Also at WWE releasing the preview for tonight's RAW and nothing from last night's Hell in a Cell is in it. |

Hahaha, I still cannot believe they did this. Holy shit.
Honestly, while the final say is Vince, I hate every single person involved in this. It’s just so garbage I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I didn’t protest this on principle. |

None of the clips from HIAC have hit a million views on YT on WWE's YT page, even the kick off show
