Zack Ryder is a loser. I don't see the appeal.

Doesn't matter. He was over as fuck, and was immediately buried. So unless he did something backstage to deserve that.... it's total bs.

The fact that Zack Rydar was over just shows how dumb fans are sometimes.  That whole "woo woo" chant was the stupidest thing ever.  Sounded like something a 11-year old would come up with.

Because screaming "yes" or "no" over and over is super original?

Stupid or not he made it work for him.

Yeah..... Zack Ryder was so much more than that chant. Long Island Iced Z is how he got so over..... but you already knew that  :angel:

I never saw the appeal of The Rock back in WWF's Attitude era. The People's Elbow looked like the dumbest thing in the world to me. His stupid catch phrases made me want to vomit. Everything about him just seemed ridiculous, not cool at all. I always wondered why he was so over, and I finally concluded that I was not the WWF's target market. My dreams of being the next Chyna shattered, I had no recourse but to go to college, study Latin and become a snobby overeducated curmudgeon.

I never said it was.  Neither Bryan's "YES!" nor Steve Austin's "WHAT?" were original, but both were over as hell already and added a silly, simplistic catchphrase to take advantage of being so over.

Well, it's all in the eye of the beholder, but while I agree that the people's elbow is a dumb-looking finisher, The Rock has the IT factor and just oozes charisma.  When a guy has the IT factor and has that kind of charisma, he can get away with that kind of simple finisher (see: Hogan's leg drop, which didn't look so simple in the 80s).

I'm sure he'll be spoon fed a few equally-green UFC wannabes, but once he goes against anyone with real experience, I expect he'll be in for a major wakeup call.  I'm sure he'll make great bank for the ass-kicking he'll inevitably take though. :lol :lol

Jordan is actually DT's tax advisor. He just happens to do their taxes on stage, that's why he has that iPad there.

Yeah, I can't wait to watch Steen Owen and Balor and Itami!




Can someone explain to me, in kayfabe, why would Seth Rollins care at all about being #1 contender when he has the MitB briefcase?

The whole build up to this PPV (who no one should watch) has been atrocious!

I suppose that Rollins' motivation is not so much to earn a title shot (we all that he already has one) as it is to take a title shot away from Cena. Anyone's kayfabe motivation should be to beat John Cena, especially a character bent on becoming... (I hate to say it) the next big thing.

Well, I mean, he would have two guaranteed title shots.  Granted, if he wins the title as number one contender, MITB would be useless, but if he lost as number one contender, he'd still have MITB to fall back on. 

Actually, that could be a pretty cool scenario.  Lesnar is in the ring celebrating a successful title defense after beating Rollins, then Rollins gets back to his feet, blasts Lesnar from behind with the briefcase, and cashes in.  Curb stomp, new champion. 

I dunno.  Just a thought. 
Sincerely,
Jaffa

Dude that crowd was so hot during the Zayn/Neville match! Especially when Neville brought the belt in and Sami grabbed it and everyone started "NO!! NO!! NO!!" that was awesome!

If you've never saw anything WWE until last night you would think that he's the #1 guy in the company! Also, never a bad thing to have a continuation of the Steen/Generico feud, though there's no way we're getting something as brutal as their Ladder War match.

A better PPV than I was expecting, with some pleasantly surprising match placement, but still many disappointments.

The Ziggler / Harper match was a great way to kick off a PPV, and that was a great match. I'm glad Ziggler won too. Harper did well considering how new he is to singles matches since splitting from Wyatt. He's my favourite of the Wyatts by far.
Mizdow continues to amuse. Shame about the screwy finish. They've done a lot of that lately.
I skipped the Big Show match, but I can only assume it sucked.
John Cena vs Rollins was a good match. I thought the bit with both of them going through the tables was going to be another screwjob finish, but as a mid match bit, it was a good little break. I wish the stooges would stay out of the matches, because Rollins doesn't need them. The double AA through the table was impressive too. Oh and I forgot that Reigns is back. Yay. Because I was really missing seeing his same 3 moves and boring promos every week. He's going to win the rumble and win at Wrestlemania, and it's going to suck.
Nikki Bella vs AJ was a predictable disappointment. Sadly very one sided.
I skipped Kane/Ryback too. See Big Show / Rowan.
The Rusev match was pointless. I didn't see the point of this rematch. It was lazy booking.
I was pleasantly shocked that they put Ambrose/Wyatt on last. Very good overall, but that finish stunk. WTF was that about? If you're going to do a screwy finish, at least have Wyatt involved, and not some random accident.

I was expecting this PPV to be as bad as Survivor Series given how rushed it was, but it wasn't bad.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Ambrose/Wyatt should of ended with Ambrose missing a very big move (elbow drop through the announcer's table, for instance) and Bray hitting the sister abigail in a big way. It was simple, but you can't have simple in WWE at the moment.

That would have made too much sense. It didn't serve any purpose to do it this way, other than possibly prolonging the feud with yet another screwjob finish.
But I think Ambrose is due for a big win, and the reason for them pushing Wyatt so hard continues to elude me.

NXT R Evolution absolutely slayed TLC in every way. Not even close.

Dolph and Luke should have been the main event, all things considered.

Commence Roman Reigns being forced down out throats.

I can count who I considered on the main roster to have "stepped up" after the success of NXT R Evolution on one hand. (Harper, Ziggler, Wyatt and Ambrose.) Rollins got the typical Cena booking shenanigans and everyone else.. didn't get time, we've seen too many times before or are just dog awful.
