If they wanted to be in the business of singular big shows, they'd still be on PPV. They are selling subscriptions now, which means they need to give people reasons to tune in every month, not just once. Old guys who will wrestle once and then disappear will not be that reason. It's extremely shortsighted.

Yeah I'm Heavy. I just changed my name. Same avatar, not trying to hide it. I've been posting in wrasslegaf for almost five years.
They can still kick a Cesaro v KO match in time
And as odd as it sounds, Bo NEEDS something so it would not be a bad idea

Daniel Bryan return update
The writing is on the wall: Daniel Bryan will use all of the WWE's resources to promote his book, and then when he doesn't need it anymore, he'll be jumping ship to TNA.

Sounds like he'll be back if he was already "targeting" a date. It doesn't sound like he's done.

Can't wait for the stretcher match between him and Kurt. Those two submission specialists will be put in a clinic

Let me guess, people were disappointed in the finish....that Cena won clean. So what? The match was incredible. It was easily a 4* match.
Umpabaker someone here thought of based on Booker T. Cracked me up first time I read it. :lol
Wait, he was saying we should "move on" like last week and know he is ready to return? What is happening?
Anyway, hopefully he only returns if he is 100 per cent and hopefully they put him in a good angle. Maybe HHH again to finish the autorithy storyline or something.
that "why is cheating such a big deal" thread.... just wow
I wish Sheiky baby would put people like this in their place
Granted we all fuck up and do bad things, but when people don't even realize it....it's worse.

2.5 stars at best. Owens is pretty shit without the smoke and mirrors of his outsider aura.
I know,I'm just saying this again for the non believers.

The first stretcher match where both participants start out on stretchers?

You dream'ing me or do you really think that was 2.5 stars? Come onnnn, that was a solid 4 star WWE match. Idc if NJPCZWBootay promotion has 10* star matches every day. For WWE that was a fantastic match. Even the indie spots from Owens fit into the flow.

Here's what i hope: Taker/Brock is filled with so many botches due to Taker and makes Taker look so old and weak that Taker is forced to retire and won't take a main event spot at WM. I want it to be an awful match with the crowd dead throughout.

It was probably 4 stars, but wasn't even the best match they've had together, and that's not even counting the stupid finish.

This, 100%. They are booking as if the main shows are still on PPV where they can get a huge buyrate. The problem is getting people to return for a month or two at $9.99 is just bad business when you walked away from much more money. With the network, they need to sell the importance of each show.
Also, it's past time for Taker to go away
yes, a bizarro stretcher match, first guy to get off the stretcher and get in the ring wins

I sort of think they where going for the Undertaker v Jeff Hardy finish for the Cena / Owens match but completely botched the tone of the finish and post match so Cena looks strong.
And Summerslam seems real bad this year. Real bad.

The worst part about all of this is that there is a good chance Taker will win at SS, which means they will have wasted Brock's monster run the last 2 years on the fucking Undertaker. I thought the whole point of letting Brock end Taker's streak was so that he can pass the rub on to someone new and put them mega over. It feels like they are just panicking and making everything up week to week as they go along now.
When does TNA reveal it's King of the Stretcher title? I'm guessing it will be a repurposed version of the X Division belt.
It really was.
Have no idea how this match at SummerSlam will be taken seriously by anyone. In no way, shape, or form could Taker take Brock at the pace they've been building Brock up to in the past year.
Ain't just the buildup. Look how Lesnar does his suplexes. Nightmarishly dangerous. A guy like Kofi can take it, but a 50 year old heavyweight? He already received a neck injury from Brock last match.
I was there. Bit late on this reply, but from where I was sitting, biggest pops were for Orton, New Day (they had a lot of heel heat--people were doing the New Day sucks for hours before being let in the building and all up through the preshow--they were more interested in New Day's antics and taunts than the match itself though), Lesnar, Reigns, Wyatt (decent heel heat) and every last thing about Cena-Owens.
If I had to rank a top 5:
1-5) Undertaker
Below that:
6) Cena
7) Lesnar (tie)
7) Owens (tie)
9) Orton
10) New Day

So are we just supposed to forget that the specialness was that Taker had never lost at Wrestlemania? Taker has beaten Lesnar before AND Taker has lost at Summerslam several times. Nothing about this makes sense

The whole point was for Reigns to get that rub, but after the fans shit on him, that wasn't going to happen. So now they don't know what to do with Lesnar.

I'd laugh if UT was like I don't even care about WM, but you hurt my little brother's ankle man! You made it personal man!
Barack Laser would have been pretty brass ring worthy too.

I respectfully disagree. It had shit psychology, featuring a bunch of moves that meant nothing leading to a result that meant nothing. Despite the surprise of the rubes, the outcome was never in doubt--Owens becoming just another guy, especially when he turned coward on last Monday's show, made it clear that he'd be losing.
2.5 stars, and that's charitable. The quality of the match was well behind even Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns.
Okay, seems he had that match and then on Smackdown he had a match against Dean Ambrose that I don't remember which is where he was probably laid out. And a random tag match with Sheamus in 2013.
In all, he's had 3 matches outside of Wrestlemania dating back to Wrestlemania in 2011 against Hunter for the first time.

So the fans were ultimately responsible for this shit. I love it.
2 full years in a row of a product tanked for one guy who didn't even stay healthy for 2 months. Unbelievable. Can't wait for it to happen again next year.
