The crowd begging for Bryan and shitting on the rest of the roster to do it , as great as it is, didn't work 2 years ago so I doubt it will work now. We all know wrestling is a strange business, where things like tradition, nepotism, ego, unwritten rules, etc.. factor into the product in very clear and tangible ways. Look at how much BS booking Punk had to endure before securing his spot(still not main eventing mania). Honestly I think it's as simple as Vince wanting 'his guys' to headline the 30th anniversary of his baby.
Well then he better be ready to have "his baby" be hijacked by the fans, because that's totally going to happen.

When we reached the 28th entrant I was really hoping it was Rey coming in last, I knew what was about to befall the unlucky sod who drew number 30 and did not wish that fate upon Big E Langston.
Plus it's Rey so no of course I don't feel bad.

I hope so. And that fear might be the only thing that saves us from 3 months of Batista/Orton.
The biggest feud in pro wrestling the last 5 years has been WWE vs. fans. First (and still) with Cena hate/love, and now with Daniel Bryan.
Who knew that a company would end up feuding with its fans, who knew that a guy would start to get over by getting beat in 18 seconds at Wrestlemania.
I wonder if the fans will hijack another show at RAW, and who knows what happens at Wrestlemania at this point. What a weird time we live in

Someone on Observer Radio brought up an interesting matchup for WM, wherein Seth Rollins faces Big E for the IC title at EC, and wins the title, leading to a title unification match for the IC and US titles, which would be a triple threat match between Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns at WM.
Obviously Reigns would win that, which would be a good rub in the mid card.

Wasn't Vince trying to sign sapp at this time ?
I've been thinking that was the plan for awhile now -- either Rollins or Reigns grabs the IC belt from Langston, and the Shield implosion culminates at WM in a triple threat unification.
I think one way to do this -- and one way to elevate the IC belt -- is to give the IC belt its own Elimination Chamber. Stick Langston, the whole SHIELD, and two other guys who could use a match (Ziggler, Cesaro, Swagger, etc.) into the Chamber. All of the criticism of having two world titles making one of them "a glorified IC belt" are gone because now it's the actual IC belt, and having 6 guys fight each other in a cage gimmick match over the belt is one way to make it important again, since that's 6 guys who deem it important enough to go for it.

i think so.
That'd be nice. Best way for me would be Rollins V Big E at Elimination Chamber which Rollins wins due to Shield shenanigans, then Rollins V Ambrose in a match that was just booked by the authority, but going in they're all claiming to be buddies still. Rollins turns on Roman to give Ambrose the win and set up the Wrestlemania match.

Might be wrestlemania 2 years ago when Rock beat Cena. At the time that was a bit of a nice shocker.
Since then most PPV's have been Cena over coming odds or when Punk became a cowardly heel for a few months.

They're the ones choosing to leave money on the table. They're the ones not giving the people what they want. They seriously don't have have their fingers on the pulse of what's hot unlike say back when Austin and Rock became phenomenons.
Yeah. I feel bad for him anyway. It is not his fault.
Hahaha, no they would not have.
By saying kind, do you really mean delusional? The only bright side to that match was the Cena mouth gif and Sin Cara botching stumbling backwards.
The obvious ambulance roof spot immediately followed by those arms rocketing in to the air with that OK sign is such a perfect summary of everything I hate about Cena.
I got douche chills just typing that.

Soft bet though, the initial bump is always gonna be bigger.
Nah, it's the night after Rumble. The next couple of weeks after are the real test.

Meltzer called into LAW last night and said (paraphrased) that WWE gave Bryan a chance when he main evented Raw for three weeks, and the ratings were bad. Yet when Batista came back his ratings were huge. If Bryan can't pull in ratings then he will remain a B+ player.

RAW is in some pretty dull sounding towns the next 2 weeks so it will be interesting if things spread to other crowds.
Didnt the Cena / Randy build up to TLC has some shitty ratings as well?
I think the lowest rated raw last year was part of that build.

Ugh. I'm hungover as fuck at work.
In the interest of being positive: Bray looked like a god damn star last night, that was exactly the match that he needed. And Bryan doing the job clean didn't hurt his popularity one ounce, take a note Cena you fucking hack.

If the ratings slide at all, they'll just blame D.Brine. Not anyone else.
And they've got stuff lined up to pop the rating in coming weeks.
Like Hogan.

Never fear. Bray will look like shit again once Cena is through with him.

Where is it tonight because this sounds terrible. Hopefully it's somewhere like Philly so the crowd will be good.
Any chance of Taker showing up?
Cleveland, I don't think they have great crowds.
I wouldn't bet on Taker until after EC.

K-1 DYNAMITE - BOB SAPP vs KINNIKU MANTARO - 2008
i wish i was joking. Kinniku... Mantaro... what the fuck are you doing, Japan? who is this guy? why is he fighting Sapp? it's a dude in a cartoon mask and a FAT kid.
here comes the Beast. never got tired of this entrance.
the anime guy starts off well, get's a good single leg on Sapp.
they scramble on the ground and are eventually stood up. the much smaller masked guy trips Sapp into the ground once again. there's like a 150lb difference here.
the weight difference comes into play as Sapp reverses position and starts hammering on the poor soul.
the best part of any Sapp match. SAPP SMASHES!!!!
what better way to celebrate breaking your opponent's face than doing the robot? HAHAHA, glorious.

The day after the Rumble is normally one of their biggest nights ratings wise. It's NEXT week that's the problem.
If they think Batista is going to be bumping ratings like his hyped up return going forward, they're fools. Even Rock failed to bump ratings much eventually, and Batista is no Rock.

Friend Lambda, I'm putting together Sapp-A-Mania at my home this weekend and I need all the Bob Sapp fit to consume. Where should I go to find it? Is Dailymotion the best pick, or have his bouts been excised from their library?
