I like blue dot but this whole feud just sucks.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Christian even phoning in his entrance tonight.

 

[Nameless]

The Cap'N

 

[somedevil]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

God, retire already Christian, plz

 

[polyh3dron]

So the two blandest WWE guys facing each other. I am so hyped.

 

[HerbertFish]

The fuck is a memphis street fight

 

[bloodyroarxx]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

Yup, would be nice to see Punk back sooner rather then later but this is good for now.

 

[Brinbe]

They need to be literally fighting in the Memphis Streets. I miss the old 24/7 hardcore fights anywhere/everywhere.

 

[Sblargh]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

His sacrifice will not be in vain!

 

[Shamrock7r]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

The hero we needed. The smarks will hate him, will be mad at him for walking out, but he can take it. The Best in the Word.... the Voice of the Voiceless.... CM PUNK

 

[Ilive1up]

so that last segment was really, really great.

 

[strobogo]

If they go for Christian/Sheamus at WM instead of Sheamus/Cesaro, someone needs to get fired.

 

[Sephzilla]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

Lets be a bit realistic here.

Batista getting booed through most of the shows and Bryan being over as fuck probably helped more.

 

[Gorillaz]

why is there a guitar by the ring

 

[Ithil]

The YES Movement is a little corny, but it is a pretty fine way to build Bryan into what WWE sees as a star. They need to feel there's money in him before they'll base their business on him, this seems like a good way of doing it.

 

[G-Fex]

doesn't the guitar strings snapping out of the guitar hurt?

 

[Deadly Joker]

Jeff Jarrett tribute.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

same here

They probably found a way to kill the CM PUNK chants, at the very least.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Memphis Street Fight and they are in WRESTLING GEAR. Nobody in jeans and motorcycle/cowboy boots? Fail. NO BUYS...

 

[polyh3dron]

What exactly makes a wrestling match a "street fight"?

Oh and I love Cole's calls for a RAW Spanish Announce Table every time they get near him. Some sly trolling there.

 

[Pavaloo]

CM Punk walking out basically is giving Bryan the super push. Thanks Punk.

as if Bryan didn't have the whole crowd 100% behind him by rumble

if anything I think CM Punk shifted Bryan's momentum considerably.

got my fingers crossed

 

[blackaroni]

People keep saying this, but I don't see it. Natalya sucks on the mic. Lesnar sucks on the mic. Kofi sucks on the mic.

Bryan is no Punk, but he's perfectly good at talking.

He's not good at delivering his lines. It comes off cheesy as hell...and not even Cena cheesy. Not really sure of what the word I'm looking for, but he just seems so inauthentic.

 

[Sanjuro]

Has Hogan showed up yet? At a bar. Curious what the announcement was.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Right? This would have been incredible last week. That crowd turned a pretty shitty promo (I want to face you at Mania! No! I want to face you at Mania! No! I want to face you at Mania! No! /endpromo) into something awesome. They would have blown the fucking roof off the place last week if they announced the HHH match/title shot.

Oh well, that was still a great segment.

Eh, I thought Chicago was a little too "CM Punk" centric last week. Even during Wyatt segments they were chanting it IIRC.

What I want is a good crowd that shits on stuff that should be shit on,, but gets hyped for stuff that should be hyped, and responds to stuff that should be responded to. Elimination Chamber was probably one of the weakest PPVs of the last 18 months, but the crowd made it pretty enjoyable. Chicago even copied the Bootista and "This is awesome" pre-wyatts/shield match chants (though they were subdued) last wee.

I may be biased though since I'm in Minneapolis. Just felt like Chicago was trying to shit on everything last week.

 

[The Silver]

Is it bad that a part of me still wanted to see Orton vs Bootista just to see how badly the crowd would shit on it? I was hoping for some WCW/ECW trash in the ring type stuff.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Andre the Giant memorial 30 man battle royal. Last 3 to fight it out for trophy

 

[toddhunter]

There is going to be a battle royale at WM for the Andre the Giant trophy. It'll either have 3, 30 or 33 people in it... he didn't make that exactly clear.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

He's not good at delivering his lines. It comes off cheesy as hell...and not even Cena cheesy. Not really sure of what the word I'm looking for, but he just seems so inauthentic.

He's really stiff in this angle. I think he's perfectly serviceable otherwise though.

 

[Sephzilla]

The Occupy Raw movement would have been legendary last week in Chicago. That Bryan/HHH segment last week really wasn't that good, this promo segment however was fantastic.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Might get that match on the Raw after WrestleMania. That crowd will shit all over it.

 

[G-Fex]

22 people in it

Spoiler

22 OH MAN

 

[krae_man]

Ka Bong!

 

[UberTag]

The Critic deserved more than 23 episodes.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

What are you talking about? Everyone dresses in ring gear at all times in Memphis!

 

[Vylash]

I was just thinking that Bryan got away with not being laid out this week, then I remembered he still has a match tonight

 

[Pavaloo]

it's the one show I want a netflix revival of

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah, we're still going to get a few episodes with HHH standing over Bryan

 

[Ithil]

It's funny that this was completely unplanned, and it's just the new last minute plan they put together after the Rumble, but it still maneuvers into WM XXX having a Triple Threat for the top title ten years after WM XX did.

 

[Sanjuro]

That's awesome. I always loved the battle royal matches.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This week's segment was 100x better than last week's. They were going in circles last week the same way Punk and HHH were in 2011. Talky nonsense. This week had direction and a theme, and didn't make Daniel Bryan out to be a chump who just sits there and takes a verbal beating.

Not too late for him to take a physical beating though. I bet that's coming later tonight...........IN MEMPHA TENAKEY *cheap pop*

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Yes, yes it did.

 

[HerbertFish]

Watch your language Christian

 

[Pristine_Condition]

What are you talking about? Everyone dresses in ring gear at all times in Memphis!

Everyone in El Paso is a masked luchador, so I guess that's reasonable.

 

[Vylash]

JBL implying that Lawler bought off the police is amazing

 

[polyh3dron]

Christian would use a corny fucking kendo stick in a street fight.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Christian's got one of those Memphis kendo sticks!

 

[Ilive1up]

SHUT THE FUCK UP, JBL!

 

[slightconfuse]
