Apparently the reason was the show was advertised as Orton vs Reigns main eventing, but Reigns is in Australia for the tour, so they slotted Ziggler into the spot, and it's the rule of thumb for the babyface to win in a house show main event.

Have they finally pulled the trigger on Ziggy's push? Is it safe for me to drop my guard? I don't want to get hurt. I can't get hurt again.

Yall are forgetting the #2 rule of wrestling
If it ain't on TV, it don't matter
Cena lost at some house show on Poughkeepsie? Doesn't count. Nice try, Poughkeepsie. Maybe next time your show will be on TV, scrubs

2a. If it's on ScyFi, it also doesn't matter.

Is the #1 rule that even if it IS on TV it doesn't matter?

Rented the Heyman DVD on iTunes. Gotta admit - I thought there was a lot of fluff in the documentary.was probably the most interesting part, I think.Heyman's personal lifeThe Heyman Hustle part - especially where Heyman's using all bs marketing terms - felt like a David Brent scene. Almost think it was done on purpose. "Ok, Paul - point at your laptop screen and make it look like you're talking about something important."
Lots felt like spin, which I guess is to be expected. Also, though it's not mentioned on the DVD, I believe Heymanwas fired from WCW for expensing personal items on the road and claiming they were for business.
I'd rather rent it for free.
Well, at least he has a sense of humor.
I can't even afford the WWE Network. What makes you think I'd even be able to afford this at $4?

Are you a poor? What's the problem with $4?

#1: Cena wins. Sure, the occasional match may be lost, or even feud, but eventually he'll stand tall. They all fall sooner or later.

Bryan's looking good these days. Nice to see some of the older guys from my childhood get a happy ending

That's nice for Summerslam co-main event Brie Bella's husband to show up with her. What's his name again? Bryan Daniel? Daniel Wyatt? Eh, who cares.
Am I seeing this right? You can now dress up your virtual animal abuse?Pokemon just got even better!

This Bret Hart 92 Timeline is horrible. He's a fucking prick. He hates bodybuilders and thinks it takes no effort. What a worthless fuck.

Yeah. I can't believe how dismissive he was about Flair. Usually people will correct themselves to be a little more...tactful saying things like that, but he just was a douche about it.
Keep cryin' Bret.

Goddamn it Duncan
I will say that I respect his 30 point system, even if he doesn't know how to score.

Hey, I'm calling you out and you're just going to ignore me? That ain't right. You spoiled MGS for me, frickface.
Now how are we going to right this wrong?

If it's in the promotional material, then it's fair game.
Also, I don't believe for a second that you play video games, let alone Metal Gear.

Horse feathers! I managed to avoid all MGS media since Snake Eater because when I eventually play the rest of the series, I want to go in fresh. Now I have to find out in a wrestling thread? After all this time? Gone just like that. You stole that from me, you fat frick!
You guys talk about omerta? OK, we'll handle this right here. Now I want some darn justice.
Make this right.

Is this a new unexpected angle we have here now?
Just like when the Wyatts attacked Bryan backstage for no reason after taking out Shawn?

I'm just going to be blunt, and I'm gonna mention before I do that what I'm about to say is a spoiler: I just do not agree with Kong being drizzled with bullets and falling off the skyscraper. They could have handled the situation better, and by God they should have handled it better. Unreal, and I'm disgusted. Merian C. Cooper, you go to hell! This is Sweeney Tom signing off. Straight to hell.

OK, you guys all talk about omerta this, omerta that; well I got some omerta for you. This is how we're going to make this right:
I want you to type up a 300 word summary of the MGS series from Sons Of Liberty until this robot arm that you spoiled, in your own words. No copy/paste jobs, I'll know the difference. I want pics. I want gifs. Post it with no spoiler tags, if I got spoiled so will everyone else. You have until 11 PM PST.
If you fail to produce this report then we'll let the mods decide a more appropriate punishment for you.
