D.Brine is getting buried out there. He should go to TNA, they'll know what to do with him. They'll put him in a tag with Eric Young and reboot the American Males. They wouldn't care that Young is Canadian.
 
Daniel Bryan
isn't being helping by jobbing every damn smackdown. It's like they give him the briefcase and then have him keep losing, since they feel that he has the briefcase so it is ok. It isn't like you have the commentators putting him over as tough and really stepping up his game standing toe to toe with the main eventers either. Cole will bury him the entire match again like he always does. This makes the crowd and people at home think he is boring, a nerd, and can't win a match.
 
I'm not saying I agree with way he's being booked, though I don't think it's horrible. I'm saying burial is much too strong a word. He's lost three matches, yes, but, presuming the Christian one is the same, they've been hard fought and competitive against formidable opponents. Not to mention they've been hugely entertaining.

Supposedly informed fans can be too quick to overlook the story of a match and place all the emphasis on a W or L.

A win or loss doesn't matter if the commentators put him over and he has a hard fought match. Coming within inches of winning a title multiple times only to lose and finally realizing his dream at Wrestlemania is a great story if the commentators put it over right. Which they are not doing.
 
They're going after what got him over in the first place - Cole whining about him. Whether this is misguided or not remains to seen; I think it probably is.

Otherwise, Booker T is always HUGELY enthusiastic about him.
 
I don't know if this has been posted before.

Adult film company Third Degree Films has released "Official Hogan Knows Best Porn Parody" with an XXX rated sendup of the VH-1 reality show starring Hulk Hogan, his ex-wife Linda and their children.

Didn't everyone bitch when Edge kept constantly losing matches when he had the briefcase back in 2005? He turned out just fine.

Edge beat Benoit, a former world champion..did D.Bryan beat anyone that was former world champion?
 
"For whatever it's worth, on Sky's Formspring account, she responded to a fan question about Hardy commenting, "The only reason he's still alive is because of me." When asked how she felt about the entire situation, Sky wrote, "Hurt / exasperated / exhausted / furious / tired of being lied to / tired of enablers. Just tired."

When asked what she said to Hardy after his accident, Sky responded, "Which one..." and when asked whether Hardy had gone "insane", Sky wrote, "I'm the wrong person to ask..."
"

Wow, this guy needs help.

I say him and Jeff will be dead by the time they're 40. :(

How could RAW get such a lowered rating, when it was one of the best RAW's since June?????
Monday Night Football. Kevin Nash not being a draw in 2011. And you don't know that it's one of the best Raws in months before it actually airs.

I think it more goes "dude, check on Youtube in a bit, Cena and Punk had a hell of a match."

Which does nothing for ratings.
 
If the 'E wants ratings from viewers like us they need to stream on wwe.com every week. I guarantee they'd have atleast 100k viewers right here. Plus there's a whole lot more ad potential. Have commercials at their usual times, and ads on the page = revenue!
 
W:L ratio never matters. An exceptionally gifted wrestler can lose every match in the WWE for a year and still be either loved, hated, cheered or booed. He can still be relevant - it's all in the character.

Come on guys, looking at the past tells you enough - these losses mean nothing.

Also: Ratings are antiquated and dead. The only metric that matters is if people know of it or not - not where they saw it and when. Watching TV on a schedule is dying.

USA would not like that. Loads of channels hate that shows from their network are available online after they air, so simultaneous airing would get exces in a fluster
 
Ratings take a long time to go up. One show will not turn things around. Back in 97 WWE was putting on excellent shows and a much edgier product, but it took over a year for them to overtake WCW in the ratings. If they can put on a show that good on a consistent basis then things might change.
 
How this ratings are being counted? Is it for the 9pm est slot only? or for the total viewers. I mean before I got direct I would have to wait til 9pmpacific to watch it.

I had a dream I was at the GYM with CM Punk once. We were working out on chest. It was awesome. Such a cool guy.
i had a dream the Undertaker was chasing me in this dark Doom-like corridor with the Dead Man Walking Song playing.

They most certainly wouldn't but I'm sure they could come to an agreement where USA gets to put up advertisements for their show and have bumpers reminding them that they can watch it on television on the USA network.

The hell? he self declared himself that?
In WCW Nash would frequently boast that if he had to promo against The Rock he totally bury him and make him look like an idiot. Rock ended up hearing about this so when it did happen Rock destroyed him.
Nash also calls himself the smartest man in the business. Considering how he has managed to keep getting large contracts from companies he may actually have a point.

I truly wonder if what "what" thing will EVER end, lol. For some reason I can't picture it.
Kevin Nash lack of mich skills encouraged it. These 90s wrestlers need to learn how to not always have the predictable pause.
