I mostly wish the people who hate what the WWE is doing right now would just move on. Move on to just watching NXT and/or Lucha Underground and/or NJPW. I would hope that's enough to get people by. The WWE product isn't super great right now, but I'm actually fine with that(crazy as most people would think). It's just that it's gotten to the point where I'm watching a movie and a bunch of snarky teenagers are cheering the bad guy just because they get off on their own echo chamber. Just, y'know, watch something that you genuinely enjoy. Otherwise, what are you doing with your life?

There weren't very many boos tonight I don't think you should expect a repeat of the Rumble at Mania.

Thank you for being a perfect example of my point.

It will be just as bad and even worse at the next night on Raw.

Why do you care more about Daniel Bryan's booking than Daniel Bryan does? I mean, at least CM Punk was actually as big an asshole about his career as his fans were.

Right. The crowd was pretty much split tonight. You even had the dueling Roman / Bryan chants. People want to hear what they want to hear I guess.
Everyone didn't know Reigns was winning. Bryan coming back for the Rumble gave people pause and plenty (like me) thought there was no way they'd screw the Rumble up two years in a row.
Maybe they should think the reason their numbers aren't so great is because people are booing their lungs out.

I don't think you realize that the Rumble crowd is way more representative of the Mania crowd than Memphis.

Clear pin missed. CONTROVERSY. Triple threat at Mania. 4 way when you add Axel.

They did not know Reigns was gonna win they knew he had a good chance to win and hoped he would not but, he won and they booed because of how the match was booked. It is not even about Bryan this year it is more about the WWE being horrible at booking feuds and matches.

I knew Bryan was going to lose but was hoping he would win because I wanted to be happy at the end of WM31 since I'm going there in person. The Reigns v Bryan match was very entertaining, but the end was awful. It's annoying when Reigns kicks out of everything (including a beautifully countered RKO vs Orton last year) so seeing him one spear another talented wrestler was very painful.

the Mania crowd is going to be outdoors in Silicon Valley. If you are expecting a repeat of a hot Philly crowd you are going to be disappointed.

It's funny because it's true, but they'll shrug it off like Batista's draw at Armageddon 03.

All of these legit shooks.
They had the dueling Reigns/Bryan thing going, but he was getting booed pretty much throughout IMO. I just think the WM crowd isn't going to accept Reigns. We'll see. He's got 5 weeks to turn it around.
I think putting him with Bryan was a mistake. It dimmed both of their heat.
edit: FnP on LAW! lol

back to back Legit Shook references on the LAW. What did the other guy say that caused him to get cut off?

I don't. My point is that this entire thread has been Reigns fans tearing down Bryan fans and acting like they "won". And then the Bryan fans answer by attack the Reigns fans. This whole cycle of "salt" and "marks" and "smarks" and all this dumb antagonistic bullshit.

I don't fault the Bellas at all, personally. They're simply putting out the kind of women's wrestling product that Vince wants.
Putting the blame on them for their segments being awful isn't fair.
It's like blaming the actors in Transformers for the movie sucking.
Calling them a cancer is completely uncalled for. We all know who the cancer is.

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Hasn't Cena's run seen WWE's television ratings plummet from the heights of the attitude and rock 'n' wrestling eras? And it isn't that impressive that the most protected wrestler in the history of modern wrestling sells the most merchandise when he has more merchandise than every other WWE "Superstar". And yes, it is the nature of Vince's ego to continue marching his creation to further irrelevancy by spinning crowd reactions and booking in ways that are contrary to the companies most successful periods.
People who improve don't get enough credit but Nikki has improved.
That being said they have gotten way more camera and TV time then most of the talent and have bombed every step of the way.
Sometimes you need to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

the heights of the attitude era are never coming back. That drop would have happened no matter who was the face of the company.

It is hard to say what would happen if they booked a wrestling show like they did in the past if they never try.

Is that sarcasm?
I don't know.
Honestly, the LAW is the worst program out of their family of podcasts. Jason Agnew and Dan Lavranski are terrible hosts compared to the dynamic between Wai Ting and Pollock.

Also ratings, were already down to the 4.0 level by time Cena was the #1 guy. Considering that all of TV have had their ratings drop w/ the advent of the Internet, it's not a shocker that RAW isn't the draw it once was, when you can watch the big segments online the next day.
I'm not saying WWE booking has been fantastic, but a 2-hour RAW w/ good booking would still likely be only doing 3.3 or 3.4's instead of 2.9's.

A lot of people that watched wrestling back then just stopped. It's like Nintendo trying to get the Wii fans back.
blackaroni

It could be sarcasm...or maybe not. We just don't know. We'll find out tomorrow.
Stop trying to make that triple threat match happen.
Triple H's death grip on the world title during the original Evolution run is really where ratings starting going down. Especially when he would start every Raw with a 20 minute promo.

That's what you guys basically are. You're Twilight fans. Take some time and reflect on that.
they stopped because many of those people were WCW fans that tuned in to WWF and saw them look like shit.
Look at Tazz. He was over as fuck and within like a week he was jobbing to HHH.

Yet, the WWE is making more money now than they have than at any other time aside from the very height of the Attitude Era boom.
Then why sign him?
Why let ECW continue to use him for PPVs while he was under contract?
