The Wrestling Thread's Never Been So Disgusted With a PPV... - Part 139

[Herolee10]

Match of The Night was without a doubt the opener. Great match.

The opening match was the Match of the night? Curious, who was involved in this "match of the night" match?

 

[The Apocalypse]

Too true.

I liked heel Batista....but this comeback is officially worse than The Rock's. At least with him, you understood why they bent over backwards.

It's not even his fault either. That's the worst part. I was actually looking forward to seeing him return and the inevitable title regin. The fact the powers that be just let him waltz back into the company to win their biggest match of the year is like spitting in the face of the people who have busted their ass.

The Second Guy the WWE wants to Erase from History.

Skirting around the real issues by finding the one bright spot of the match I see.

The odd thing is that he is might be more over because of the situation with Batista. I was honestly hoping he'd win after eliminating Sheamus. The crowd rallied behind him as well. That's how bad it is that Batista won.
As for Reigns , mission accomplished.

 

[cabel]

At least I still have Ring of Honor. Please tell me I'm not the only one watching right now.

Apparently WWE TLC's buyrates were no different than they were last year according to WWE's own chart so if they try to act like they really thought Orton vs Cena would draw again then they'd only be fooling themselves. If the Buys take a hit this year for the Rumble then who will they blame?

 

[SuperBatman]

Well wwe better think of going back to Ut vs Bryan because shameus vs Bryan doesn't interest people now and Batista vs Orton will be a horrible main event.

Tries to remember who you're talking about...only to come to this conclusion...

Yeah, I think the ONLY REAL WINNERS from tonight's pay per view was Reigns and Wyatt...two guys that were really allowed to shine, ironically enough as a result of Daniel Bryan's presence or lack of.

They are?,I should delete TNA from it then cause it gets recorded but I haven't actually watched any episodes for months,I just delete them after each Thursday night

I think it only counts if you dvr it and then watch it. I know there's categories of something like DVR+3, DVR+5, etc. where something it watched within three days of a recording, 5 days, up to at least 7 days I think, so if you either don't watch it or watch it much later than at least a week after recording it, it doesn't get counted.

Well, on Twitter, he did say this era is nothing but "B-list players" and was a bigger star than everyone else. I have no sympathy for him.

Sheamus vs Bryan makes no sense. Bryan vs Taker would bring out a very interesting story and would no doubt be the best match on the show. Maybe I'm being a mark, but **** it. A match featuring my favorite wrestler of all time taking on my favorite wrestler of the past 11 years on the biggest stage of them all? #BUYS #BUYS #BUYS

I wonder if the EC buy rates are going to plummet. WWE has time to fix this. It's their move.

It's been the track record of the WWE in recent years. People have been getting cheered and becoming popular IN SPITE of what the WWE wants to happen. Punk became huge after his pipe bomb against the company. Bryan started rising up because they screwed him in the three second match against Sheamus. Ziggler gets cheered because he works his ass off in spite of the horrid booking he's given. And Reigns is cheered because no one wanted Batista to win.

Ah, I didn't know about that. Pretty dickish thing to say. To me, he as always a poor mans Brock Lesnar anyway.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Glad I'm a mark for NJPW. They actually take chances on new guys and give them the ball and run with it.

 

[TheVileOne]

This is TNA levels of self-sabotage.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

As much as I'm loving all these reactions to this PPV, it probably won't wake WWE up.

It's a shame a really entertaining ppv will most likely be remembered for the awful ending. I don't think I've ever been this dissatisfied with a rumble win. Even when Vince won , I knew Austin was still going to main event Wrestlemania.

I dare Batista say that about the Avengers.

Mike Killam @MikeKillam Right now @WWE @VinceMcMahon & @TripleH have a lower approval rating than Congress. #RoyalRumble


Mike Killam @MikeKillam
How out of touch is WWE with what their fans want? An entire arena is ****ting on your product. Unbelievable. #RoyalRumble

 

[TheVileOne]

No one likes Orton vs. Cena! Seriously, their matches are boring. We are sick of that feud.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I dare Batista say that about the Avengers.

I hope so.

 

[Specter313]

I hope they do plummet, because that's one of the only things they'll listen to is how much money they'll bring in. I was actually considering signing up for the WWE Network at some point before WM, but the crap tonight made me change my mind. If it's the only thing they'll listen to, then I hope others will follow suit.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think the reason the decision makes don't like Daniel Bryan is because he reminds them of Benoit. And I believe that now more than ever.
