Nonetheless, why is it so hard for Vince to see that his audience is not only crying for a change in direction but a changing of the guard as well?

He doesn't believe in it. Remember what happened with Bret and Shawn? The period after Austin and Rock were finally gone? We have been moving on from Triple H for nearly a decade now. It is insane.
 
It's crazy to think Triple H has been on WWE TV close to 15, pushing 20 years if you include his Blue Blood era, now.

Time to move on.

That and I think it's his ego. The fact is, the WWE and Vince had essentially NOTHING to do with Bryan getting over with the fans like he is today.

He doesn't fit the mold of what Vince considers to be an ideal superstar. He's neither the height, nor has the physique or great good looking looks that Vince normally goes for, and that's probably eating him up inside.

The ONLY reason why Rey Mysterio got a chance at the WM Main Event back in 06 was because of Vince shamefully riding off Eddie Guerrero's death and wanting to capitalize on it.

Heck, notice on how John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, and Triple H are like the only ones to have consistently maintained their high positions within the last 10 years.

Everyone else has had their momentum either disrupted or never really got the chance that they deserved.
 
Actually close to 15, pushing 20 years now with Triple H.
While the early days of the brand split were horrible with HHH (SD was awesome until they decided they had to ruin it), it wasn't really until WM XX that we started the "moving past" Triple H. And then it just kept going, and going, and going...
 
i don't like to toot my own horn but i called bryan getting mysterioed back after summerslam. And ironically that's who came out to dash everyone's dreams

Then he comes back…and comes back…and comes back…it's so strange.

Vince's ideals haven't worked since Hogan. They all flame out in a few years. It is those that buck his trend that have had lasting appeal.

It is insane. I stopped watch for the most part for a few years (I took the Eddie and Benoit thing hard), only checking in every once in a while. And when I came back a bit more hardcore... there was Triple H in the main event still. :funny:
 
I've said this before but Batista winning the Rumble is seriously about as disgusting as Hogan/Bret/Yoko from Wrestlemania IX.

It's going to take a LOT to get me even remotely interested in WMXXX.
 
Dewey Foley just buried WWE on Facebook. specifically Trilple H and Steph.
 
@ sweetre15

I'd also put Del Rio on that list. The company gave him all these accolades, but never gave him a fair shake as a serious champion which infuriates me being one of his few supporters.
 
Yeah, then Del Rio kinda gets dropped even though he didn't do anything wrong.

Nothing has ever been that disgusting, though this is close.
 
The biggest crime is that in WWE's choice to ignore its audience, it turns around to say they're waiting on the "next big star" to take over from Cena.

Bryan, Punk, and any member of the Shield say hi.
 
As I said, Cena vs Orton last year did the same numbers as TLC 2012 with Ziggler yet Orton's still holding the title and getting the overpush while younger guys are getting screwed over?

Do you guys think there is a chance that their might be some meddling going on backstage to make the younger guys look like they don't draw so they can justify shoving the same crap down our throats?
 
WWE:

"The result of this poll as voted for by you, the WWE universe, the most important part of WWE......"

"The WWE Network is about our fans"


Fans (unanimously): "DANIEL BRYAN."

WWE: "Look everyone, your Royal Rumble winner, BATISTA!!!"

Truly annoyed. Am glad Foley told it like it is.

The ironic thing is that those 3 guys are largely responsible for the downward spiral in popularity that started 10 years ago. Fans didn't buy them as successors to Angle, Benoit, and Guerrero, and the ratings began to plummet. Yet, despite having two guys who are almost universally loved in Punk and Bryan, WWE is heading into yet another WM relying on the guys who fans didn't want as main eventers a decade ago.
 
Guys guys guys guys.......no one is allowed to call WWE out on this. We're supposed to smile and take it. WWE doesn't care who's the most popular and what fans want, but we're wrooooooong. We're badddd boys. God forbid the WWE actually puts over the top babyface instead a 44 year old guy who got this spot because he's working with Marvel. WWE could outdraw any Batista match with Cena vs Undertaker, who work WrestleMania every year, but we're so wrooooooong.

Just rewatched the Rumble.
Rusev looks to be a big pile of nothing really. He seems too green and doesn't know how to make his moves look as impressive as they should be.
 
I didn't know who Rusev was at all. I just called him 'NO Shoes Man'
 
Trying to recall PPV endings that made me visibly upset in the past 10 years:

New Year's Revolution 2005
Unforgiven 2006
Wrestlemania 25
Survivor Series 2010
Wrestlemania 27
Royal Rumble 2012
 
I feel bad for Roman Reigns too. This could've been his moment as well at RR.
 
- WrestleMania XXX headliner Batista tweeted the following about his Royal Rumble win last night:

“Awesome night! And @VinceMcMahon walked away from my Royal Rumble win healthy and happy.. Love me or hate me thanks to everyone who watched.”

“By the way if anyone finds my head please return. I believe @WWESheamus kicked it into the front row somewhere.”

I wonder what would happen to the Main Event Scene if Batista, by some dumb luck, sustained a injury that would side line him until After WM?lol
