This was like a Wrestlemania flashback. Bryan is massively over and the crowd is having fun. Suddenly the match ends out of nowhere and the crowd stops caring.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

what was that match
over in 2 mins
They had a good opportunity to make a great match for an atomic hot crowd and instead they end in 2 mins

Yup wtf

 

[somedevil]

Love how the treat the guy more over than the Barrett who is from England. Jesus just give Bryan the win or at least a 10 minute match.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

This reminds me of that stretch where WCW went to Australia and the UK in late-2000. They couldn't sell 1,000 tickets for PPVs and sold out 20,000-seat arenas in front of atomic hot crowds.

I'm convinced that this is some long-term rib on Bryan. Thing is, Bryan isn't a backstage crybaby and just takes the shit he's given and somehow makes it gold.

 

[Diablos54]

I bet this will go on longer than Cody/Bryan... It's not like Kane's made for jobbing these days, and Bryan's red hot and people want to see him. Let's have a 2 minutes Bryan match and a 10 minute Kane match! Stupid WWE.

 

[ecurbj]

This crowd with the "YES's" and I want my Sandow T-Shirt. Put it up on WWEShop, WWE!!!

 

[somedevil]

Yes, piss off the crowd more who wanted to see Daniel Bryan by first jobbing him out then taking him away from Kane's corner. Awesome Booking!

 

[Toki767]

Bryan makes watching anything he's involved with fun for kids and adults. Meanwhile over in Cena land, I'm still struggling to think who his storyline is supposed to appeal to.

 

[Kyoufu]

I just yawned.

Kane in 2012 has that effect on me.

 

[Ithil]

I love Kane but this crowd wanted a ten minute Bryan match, not a Kane match. Idiotic booking that as usual ignores what the crowd actually want.

Same here. *YAWN* Next please...

Crowd isn't to excited either.

Classic WWE.

 

[Kyoufu]

Barrett vs Sheamus at Main Event.

I want to see that one.

 

[TheGreatDivide]

Kane's music sure is shitty nowadays.

Nope, they not going to give the crowd something they want god damnit! People want Daniel Bryan in this tag team to have the long matches not kane.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Crowd seemed just fine with Kane to me. The guy has always been over in England, from the footage that I've seen. Yeah, they weren't cheering like they were for Bryan, but they weren't bored.

The correct solution would have been to have a tag team match, not two quick singles matches.

Kane's music sure is shitty nowadays.

It's essentially the same as his debut.

[tm24]

Main event looks like it will be fun. the crowd will hopefully be hot too

 

[Beast Legacy]

I hate being "that guy" but I much prefer The Big Red Machine to The Big Red Monster for Kane.

They sounded dazed, confused and bored as fuck.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Goddamn.

That is one ugly fucking arena.

What were you guys thinking?

Edit: Did Maddox get that vest from the kids section?

Sure, they like Kane, but Bryan got the biggest pop of the night, even more than Wade Barrett. Jobbing him out in 2 minutes and sending him to the back is just dumb.

All the fire in the crowd went out when Bryan just randomly lost AGAIN after two minutes and they turned into a standard RAW crowd for the next match instead of a hot crowd.

 

[tm24]

Did Brad Maddox raid Sheamus' wardrobe?

 

[SoulPlaya]

I hate being "that guy" but I much prefer The Big Red Machine to The Big Red Monster for Kane.

Everyone does, but you can't trademark Big Red Machine. Cincinnati Reds baseball team would challenge it, as it's originally theirs.

Well, of course.

 

[Diablos54]

Lol, quiet 'Thank you Brad' chant!

 

[truly101]

Son of Bischoff?

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

This guy reminds me of Garrett Bichoff too much.

 

[krae_man]

What the fuck is he wearing? Is he a butler?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

 

[SoulPlaya]

They sounded dazed, confused and bored as fuck.

The entire sequence was wayyy too fast and confusing. What happened to Bryan? Why are we having a second match? Why are refs coming out? What's going on? Just badly done by WWE.

 

[Cousteau]

dem curly locks

 

[Phoenixazure]

"Feed me to Layla" Sign.

Nice

 

[Professor Beef]

Hey, it's Garrett Jarrett Bischoff!

 

[B-Dex]

Raw starts in 2 mins for me .

[krae_man]

You Don't Wrestle!

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

The British pronunciation of "can't" threw me off for a moment there.

 

[Beast Legacy]

I didn't know that. That sucks. I'd even settle for Machine for when he's face and Monster for when he's heel.

 

[ecurbj]

Those "What" chants are hilarious. England is hilarious. I love these guys.

 

[TheGreatDivide]

Mad Ox is awesome.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

This guy's pretty good on the mic, I'm for this push.

 

[Diablos54]

'PEOPLE KNOW MY NAME IN ENGLAND!'

'WHO ARE YA? WHO ARE YA? WHO ARE YA?'

Lol.

 

[Ultratech]

Damn, he's really giving off Bishoff vibes...must be the look.

Crowd is awesome though. lol

 

[krae_man]

Ryback goes from Main Event to beating Jobbers again.

 

[somedevil]

I think he is pretty good though his voice gets a bit high pitched sometimes.

 

[trunbuns]

Brad Maddox is the greatest heel of our generation. That was a great promo.


VINCE!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Vince has to have his pop. Surprised HHH isn't out there.

 

[gurudyne]

I think he is pretty good though his voice gets a bit high pitched sometimes.

He really, really reminds me of that kid from season three of Community, the one from the lab partners episode no one wanted to partner with.

 

[ecurbj]

Yes. Maddox. He is going to definitely win next week.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Vince has to have his pop. Surprised HHH isn't out there.

I'm sure if you search hard enough in the spoiler reports you'll uncover something like...
"halfway through the show HHH came out to Pedigree Cesaro, this won't be aired and was just for the live crowd"
