I stepped out of the room for a second. How did Orton win?

By getting knocked out and having his dead carcass pin Bryan after HBK gave him a Sweet Chin Music.

Seriously a terrible finish. It made all 4 dudes in the ring look like total chumps.

 

[MPW]

And the crowd goes...

Wow talk about ruining everything you had going coming out of SummerSlam in 3 months

are you surprised? i'm not

 

[RiggityRice]

Wondering why I just sat through all that shit. Opening tag match was dope. that is all.

 

[G-Fex]

Bound For Glory was the better PPV

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Cena/Orton.

Unify the titles.

Survivor Series.

#OneCenaNation

Yup, Meltzer said today DBry will likely get the blame for the shitty NoC/Battleground buyrates, and the company is looking to do a title unification match at Survivor Series.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

HBK superkicked the hell out of Bryan's left biceps!

 

[obijkenobi]

Why should they? Four PPVs in a row, same bullshit ending.
What's the point in caring?

Not true! Someone is actually champ now!

 

[Dark Ninja]

So this is going to lead to HBK against HHH at Mania somehow isn't it?

Yep Bryan on the Pre-show

 

[darkside31337]

Bound For Glory was the better PPV

Lets not get ridiculous.

I thought the show was okay to be honest. It was a lot better than the crap from last month but that awful finish basically killed the entire show for me.

Figures.

 

[FallingEdge]

Watch Road to Power Struggle.

Much better show.

#TeamNJPW

 

[SoulPlaya]

Yep Bryan on the Pre-show

With Kane facing. . . . . . who cares, he'll be on the card, though!

 

[Pristine_Condition]

are you surprised? i'm not

I honestly am. Three PPV events in a row is a lot. I mean, either you have contempt for your paying audience, or you think they don't have other entertainment options. And clearly, as the low RAW ratings coming off these screwjob shows indicates, the latter isn't true at all.

 

[slightconfuse]

Punk tried to warn us after he escaped the punk zone

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Bryan should get fired tomorrow and not come back until the Rumble.

 

[toddhunter]

It is all building to Bryan v The Undertaker at Wrestlemania as Bryan tries to prove he is "the one". Give it time, the WWE knows how to build these things up properly.

 

[somedevil]

So the rumors of Bryan winning the rumble are true then.

 

[Ithil]

Not true! Someone is actually champ now!

Someone the audience doesn't give a shit about, who is just a lackey.

WWE is just trying to teach the fans to not cheer for anyone they don't want being over. That's really all there is to it. They've been doing it for years now.

 

[bigosc2k]

Knew the ending was going to be shit glad I wasn't hyped for this shit at all.

 

[darkside31337]

Bryan should get fired tomorrow and not come back until the Rumble.

It's really one of the only ways to salvage this.

 

[Alucard]

Annoying ending. Where does Bryan go from here? Versus HHH or HBK? And what the heck does Big Show have to do with this?

Overbooking 101.

 

[SoulPlaya]

So the rumors of Bryan winning the rumble are true then.

Probably. Who else could do it?

I expect Cena/Bryan at WM. It's the only thing that makes sense after SS, and they want to continue to pimp Total Divas.

 

[Malvingt2]

The PPV was garbage. I don't get it. so many stupid stuff going on

 

[Ripclawe]

The only thing that would make the WWE actually book to make money instead of egos would be someone in a well read business mag or site like Bloomberg or WSJ saying how Vince and his son in law are leaving money on the table.

The only thing

 

[Paracelsus]

Annoying ending. Where does Bryan go from here? Versus HHH or HBK? And what the heck does Big Show have to do with this?

Overbooking 101.

When the title is disputed both partecipants have the right to a rematch in case they get defeated, so another wwe championship match.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Well Punk should be out of the Punkverse now. Bryan will probably be phased/held down by HHH in storyline till he defies the odds and wins the Rumble starting at #1

 

[Valentus]

FUCK YOU HHH I WONT DO IT

*tackle of orton to hbk*

NOOOO MY FACE OF THE COMPANY, LETS ENTER THE CAGE TO SCREW

*knee to the face to hhh*

NOOOO MAH HOMIE HHH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE DANIEL PLSSSSSS

*Superkick to bryan*

YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU, IM GOING BACK TO DEER HUNTING

 

[El Pescado]

Wow... Even I think that main event sucked and I'm the guy who's a super apologist for everything the WWE does. Not only that, but Bryan's "Move That Beat John Cena" and Shawn's Superkick both looked like they missed by a mile. Ugh. Just ugh.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

God, that was the stupidest fucking finish.

Can you IMAGINE a worse fuck-up of Daniel Bryan's run at the "top"?

Even more concerning, who DIDN'T see this coming as soon as HHH got involved.

 

[slightconfuse]

Think in going to treat the WWE like WCW watch the undercard and skip the main event

 

[G-Fex]

People worship Punkverse

Punkverse contains the worst feud around today.

Punkverse ends with Punk beating up old fat man.

 

[Alucard]

When the title is disputed both partecipants have the right to a rematch in case they get defeated, so another wwe championship match.

No way would they do Bryan vs Orton again...would they?

 

[Toki767]

We're probably getting Punk vs Orton for the foreseeable future.

 

[darkside31337]

Also something really bugging me - WWE's production has become total amateur hour the past several months, tonight was a total shitfest from the start with preshow having the Spanish commentary audible in the background for all 30 minutes. So many moves missed because the camera decides to focus on random people in the audience or zoom ins way too far on the guy on the top rope so you can't actually see what hes doing.

Bullshit. I'll take crazy Heyman volcano promos/antics over anything HHH/Orton/Big Show related in the past few months.

 

[amodelmerol]

Vicious circle... Bad booking > bad PPV buy rates > worse booking> worse buy rates > rinse and repeat until your product becomes WCW

 

[G-Fex]

Bullshit. I'll take crazy Heyman volcano promos/antics over anything HHH/Orton/Big Show related in the past few months.

Enjoy Ryback vs. Punk 3 at Survivor Series

I've seen Portia Perez do better superkicks than HBK's tonight.

Spoiler

And even though I'm a fan of Portia Perez, that's not a complement.

 

[somedevil]

I see Mark Henry coming back to face Bryan. The man is close and has the heel hairstyle ready. Punk can feud with Orton.

 

[Brinbe]

So fucking bad. Leave it to this company to dick up a good thing.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Bryan should get fired tomorrow and not come back until the Rumble.

Considering he's going on his honeymoon and such, I think this'll be the best opportunity to get him off the TV for a while.

 

[Alucard]

So does this end with Bryan vs Cena at Mania? HHH can't stand putting Bryan over?

That always happens at pre-shows though since its time they would be testing the tv feed. They always have mess ups on it audio cutting, entrance music randomly playing, open mics, they even sometimes forget to cut the feed and leave in the part where Justin Roberts tells the crowd to get excited as they are about to be on PPV. The camera cuts is inexcusable though that's been a more recent problem

 

[DominoKid]

HBK superkick was

tonight.

WWE is stuck in a spiral of suck right now. Wonder how they'll dig themselves out of it.

 

[Ithil]

So basically, this particular run of Bryan's, is dead in the water thanks to these four screwjob PPV endings in a row. Best bet is to mix it up for the next two months, then have him win the Rumble and take the title at Wrestlemania from whoever, and start a new run at the top there.

Just draw a line under this one. Whatever they were trying to go for, they failed miserable and ruined his enormous momentum.

 

[G-Fex]

So does this end with Bryan vs Cena at Mania? HHH can't stand putting Bryan over?

I better put the young talent over. Ok Orton you're champ now!


So seriously why give the championship for a whole year to the snoozefest that is CM Punk but won't even give a month to Daniel Bryan?

 

[funkystudent]

If WWE seriously think Daniel Bryan was the problem with the last few PPV's....... christ.

WWE should buy TNA and merge the brands because they are made for one another.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Real-life IM I just got from my cousin RE: this PPV.

Blows

I'd rather watch tugboat v joe mirto

LOL

There is no line here. Bryan's time as a main eventer is cooked. He's stuck at midcard status for life now. Maybe they'll put him in a feud with Ambrose for the US Championship.
