Bryan has plateaued out after the Cena win. This feud with HHH, Stephanie, and Randy Orton has been the drizzling shits and ultimately, isn't helping ANYBODY.

I'm a huge Daniel Bryan fan...I couldn't give a shit if/when he wins the belt at this point. We've had Dusty finishes, non-finish finishes, interference finishes...I now no longer care about if/when Daniel Bryan wins the damn title. He's now technically won it three times only for it to be taken away. Winning it just won't be special anymore. You can put it in a Hell in a Cell, you can put it in an Elimination Chamber, you can put it in a Ladder Match...you can put it in whatever special match you want...its just not special anymore.

Also, has Big Dave released some buy figures for Night of Champions? The SummerSlam numbers weren't too good.

I'm all for a slow build but this is something that didn't need it him winning the belt from Cena made Bryan. But him dicking around with big nose and Orton does nothing but help those two for when Cena gets back.

And I just caught the Ryback vs Punk match holy fuck that was bad.

?????

Botchamania worthy.

Would have been a cool spot if he could have kept it up though. Its the ol Exorcist backward crawl.

btw - What in the fuck is Wyatt's gimmick in the WWE, anyway? Before he debuted and when he was in NXT, he was a southern cult preacher gimmick. Now he's...I don't even know what he rants about half the time. And, in classic Vince form, he took a likening to "Follow the Buzzards" and all of a sudden its what he says every 2 minutes.

For a mostly shitty PPV, The Rhodes vs Shield tag match was great.

Cody and Dustin should be a regular tag team. Cody needs something to be interesting and Goldust needs something productive. Dustin can be the workhorse while Cody gets some shine. Around WrestleMania time, Dustin turns heel with full Goldust gimmick and you have a Dusty on a Pole match with Cody Rhodes v. Goldust.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Larry is 100% right here.. this is actually perfectly set up for a Goldust/Cody match at Wrestlemania.. not only has the ground work been properly laid but you'd actually be fulfilling a dream for a whole family. It'd be a cool story.

 

[SuperKevin]

I have been saying for awhile that I think they should have had Golddust turn on Cody and side with the Authority early on and force Dusty to choose between his sons

Easily the strongest man in the WWE

Cesaro is not only strong, but athletic. Even Mark Henry, a legit power lifter is in awe of Cesaro in the weight room.

I have no idea what the management doesn't see in him to be a star with the jet pack on him. He's the complete package, IMO. Good look, more than enough skills on the mic with a ton of charisma and a ++ worker.

He's so good.

He's European so therefore Vince doesn't think he'll draw in the US.

He's VERY European.

 

[EmpireWF]

So Bruno's return to WWE TV for the first time in 30 years is spent recapping a segment from their fucking app?

Epic. Fail.

 

[JimLeavy59]

The amount of no selling by eva and jojo is out of control. Keep these cunts off TV and just let them keep the talent "happy".

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Cesaro's push is coming. They think the giant swing is a face spot, and they are setting up a turn.

Vince gets a kick out of it, so prepare to be sick of it very soon.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Somebody is feeling a little jittery considering they are so anxious to bring Cena back so quickly.

Ryback delivered the gayest line in wrestling history tonight.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Speaking of Ryback...

Is there anyone, at all, in say, the past 10-20 years that has been pushed for essentially, a full year in the upper card and even main event like Ryback. The guy legitimately, has no juice at all. None. Yet, he's still at the top of the card in big matches.

Vince has a huge hardon for the guy...he's been wanting to push him for the longest time.

But damn, Ryback's got no juice at all.

 

[FedEx227]

I was taken aback when I realized it was a year ago when we had the awful Ryback/Punk HIAC booked into a corner main event. Amazing as you mentioned that he's been constantly pushed since that point and people STILL can't be bothered to react in anyway.

I just don't understand the idea that Ryback gets the monster push yet Cesaro is relegated to tag team duty.

Just think...they both have a very similar look. Both are bald big men with spotty facial hair. Ryback is a little more swole, but Cesaro is more cut and much stronger (Cesaro is giant swinging Khali while Ryback can't get Paul Heyman up for a Shellshock).

The similarities stop there, as Cesaro is everything Ryback is not.

I take a look at the 2nd October PPV and the impact on buys:
