Bragging Rights is going to have record low buys, it should be interesting to see if there is any Vince freakouts as a result.

Yeah, its going to do terrible for a number of reasons. I'm sure Vince will blame the talent, rather than consider the effect of the long-term booking and targeting your product toward children...

 

[FedEx227]

And booking 2 PPVs in a 3 week span.

And going up against (same weekend as) one of the biggest UFC cards ever.

And having a horrible stipulation and gimmick PPV that nobody cares about.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there ANOTHER PPV just a couple weeks before HIAC? Which would make it something like 3 PPVs in a 5-6 week span.

 

[FedEx227]

Mhmm..

Night of Champions
Hell in a Cell
Bragging Rights

all within 6 weeks of one another in an already down PPV market.

W2B, I shall be honest, I haven't seen too many Dolph Ziggler matches, but the one between he and Danielson tonight was pretty damn good for a TV match.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah, not sure if its just Dragon bringing out the best of him but Dolph has really been having some good matches lately.

It was CM Punk as guest commentator.

If I were running Uncle Vince's A-Show, I'd have him commentate when he wasn't in a match.

Eat your heart out, Tetris!

Ziggler is one of those rest hold guys, Jim Ross would even make fun of him all the time, calling him a "master of leverage manuevers".

Havent seen this match, i'll have to catch it later.

I will say this, I can probably name a dozen guys who have had their best match ever against AmDrag. Delirious, Jimmy Rave, Morishima, Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries, etc etc. Aside from maybe only KENTA, there is no other wrestler who gets more out of anyone he works with.

 

[IamMedellin]

It was a very good Ziggy/danielson match, I've heard very good things about the
Their ppv match as well...

And are they setting up a CM Punk/Danielson feud?

Michael Cole is almost unbearably annoying on the mic
Cm punk is classic
"Shawn michaels ? What about William regal ? Give the real
Credit where it's due, all Shawn michaels did was take $3000
from the kid"
Lmao bcuz it's true

Hmm...

So the ending of the Cena/Nexus saga is this:

-If Cena doesn't let Barrett winthe belt at Survivor Series, he's fired.
-If Cena lets Barrett win, he's free from his contract with the Nexus.

Tough choice because Cena will basically be selling out to get his freedom back... pissing off everyone in the locker room that already doesn't hate him.

Look forward to seeing Cena taken out at the PPV and Barrett losing his shit.

 

[FedEx227]

So um... they are already blowing this off when they could actually let it go till Wrestlemania.

Awesome.

 

[krulmichael]

Barrett wins at Survivor Series. After the match Cena beats him up. The Miz comes down and cashes his MITB and becomes the new champion. Calling it.

That was fucking brilliant. CM Punk goes so hard. I get giddy at the thought of a Punk/Daniel feud.

LOL @ two of the worst female wrestlers on the roster being booked as unstoppable for this long. Their segments are funny as hell, but it's beginning to be a fucking joke. Who hasn't LayCool dominated at this point?

:smh: @ Gail Kim being a non-factor in the tag match. A goddamn forearm shot from freaking Layla and she sold it like a deathblow. Just fucking release her and be done with it.

I'm dislike R-Truth and that broad he runs with when he's not wrestling. His new song is fucking jibberish and the dancing is stupid.

 

[EmpireWF]

Kim has been a letdown since she came back, even when she's been given chances to do well.

It's been a long time since Kong/Kim.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The WWE has no time for an ok-looking (by their standards) Asian woman with in-ring talent.

Gail Kim believes in the Christian Cage methodology. Rather be a curtain jerker in the E than a headliner in front of the IMPACT Zone.

I guess you gotta be a guy who saved his money and not want to deal with the E's road schedule to go to TNA.

 

[EmpireWF]

The WWE has no time for an ok-looking (by their standards) Asian woman with in-ring talent.

She's smoking hot.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

She's smoking hot.

I think so, but the WWE has a "type" they promote (big tittied blondes, mostly, the occasional dirty looking brunette, recently, a few latinas)...Asian women and black chicks really aren't in the WWE's vocabulary.
