Good news all around. Keep forgetting there's so many different places to hang out in OT. Will sub this thread and try to come around for RAWs. Hope Batista's comeback is a good one.

You could have the Wyatts instantly face the authority, you could have them look legitimate and ruthless against face team, instead you end up with them treading water which does nothing for anybody and makes Bryan lose a huge amount of momentum.

You do realize this is the entire point of the angle, right? To cut the legs out from Bryan's popularity. There's no other logical reason to book it this way.
They can't have him overshadowing the popularity of the part-timers they're bringing in for WrestleMania.
They have to condition the fans not to cheer for him so they can prop up the other faces.

I loved everything about tonight's show beyond what they're doing to Bryan. I can't comprehend how it's a good idea to make your most over face a member of an over heel faction in a main event only to have his team lose to an Uso roll-up out of nowhere (which shouldn't fucking happen given how good Harper's looked in the last few weeks) and have him bitch about it instead of them crucifying the Usos. You could have the Wyatts instantly face the authority, you could have them look legitimate and ruthless against face team, instead you end up with them treading water which does nothing for anybody and makes Bryan lose a huge amount of momentum.

It seems the angle is going towards he is undercover trying to turn them against each other. They can go real fast and Bray turns on bryan next week knowing what he is up to or the most likely he is going to turn on Bray at the Rumble.

You're confusing this with the booking of John Cena infiltrating the Nexus.
Where it was blatantly obvious what Cena was doing by trying to get Otunga to play out the role of Starscream and usurp Barrett's authority.

I wanted to think positively with what they did last week given there were so many potential placed for it to go and the devoted the entire show the Bryan vs The Wyatts. I honestly didn't expect them to throw Bryan and the Wyatts under the bus as a team who loses to the Usos despite recruiting the one man in all of history who beat Cena clean in a regular match.

Bryan manipulating the faction is a bullshit waste of time unless he does it to win the rumble. Otherwise both parties achieve jack-shit, Bryan wastes his Wrestlemania match on Bryan who would be a man who's accomplished absolutely nothing. Maybe if Bray corrupted Kane there would be a story there, but they didn't do anything with Kane, he turned for no reason what so ever after taking out the people who kidnapped him. The whole reason Bryan joined the faction was to fight against the machine that was keeping him down, what better way to attack it than by competing in scheduled tag matches and losing against mid-card tag team clean?

Jake looks to be in better shape than his 1996 run. Seeing Hall and Jake in a good place and healthy is one of the most satisfying things about being a wrasslin fan in the last year or so.

RIP In Peace Dolph's wrestling career

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2014-01-06/dolph-ziggler-injury-update-26174399

Dolph Ziggler has suffered a concussion during tonight’s taping of “WWE Superstars” while competing in a match against Ryback.

“Unfortunately Dolph sustained a concussion during his match on the clothesline given to him by Ryback,” said WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann. “We were able to evaluate him in the ring; he was having some confusion and disorientation. We took him back to the training room and confirmed a concussion. He’s currently feeling better but we’ll proceed with ImPACT testing and further evaluation to determine when we can get him back in the ring.”

Stay with WWE.com for further updates on Ziggler’s condition.

more like TNA IMPACT testing.

Seriously though the concussion had nothing to do with him getting demoted down the card, it was his awful attitude on social media and the fact that he's terrible on promos.

WWE has no intentions on signing back with Universal before the deadline. They want to see what other networks are willing to put out before they sign with anyone.

WWE could've re-done their contract with Universal before the Comcast merger. Universal was willing to give WWE the Universal HD channel for the WWE Network. That's why you saw the WWE Network shit back in 2012. Talks for whatever reason stalled.
Putting WWE stuff on NBC ain't flying either. WWE gets shitty ratings for their NBC specials, but NBC has to run 2 a year per the current contract.

Fox has the most money and programming blocks to throw around at Vince, but I'm not sure how long that might be on the table because the NBA tv contracts are up for bid and Fox Sports will make an attempt for it.

Fox will throw all the WWE shit on FXX since UFC has moved to FS1.

Regardless of whether or not Bryan is being buried, at least we get to see him in some different match ups. Its nice to see him in a match that isn't against the Wyatts or the Shield.

It was also nice to see him more aggressive than the last few months. The jump suit needs to go, though. It just draws attention to how small he is.

Has anyone in here tried DDP Yoga? Just read a bunch of reviews and testimonials and it seems to work very well if you stick to it. DDP looks phenomenal for former wrestler in his 50's.
