6 years is no way in Hell. Though I'd like a year run on top to a Wresttlemania with Brock or a Cena match where Cena turns heel. I'd eventually like to see him booked like a Jack Brisco type. Push Cesaro and we'd have a modern day Brisco vs Funk jr. rivalry that actually delivers kick ass matches. I'd focus the booking on commentary on his technical skills and striking ability as him growing out of the underdog role . Talk about how he's raising his game as champ.

Triple H just announced that the Ultimate Warrior passed away

This is shocking. -
Just how much of this attitude is WWE needed to educate fans better vs fan stupidity? How can you read that site regularly enough to want to send an email feedback and not know the many ways to watch WWE Network on your TV? They badly need to change the "announcers show off the app" network tutorial to Renee Young backstage at a TV pointing a remote and going through the UI. Even if it's more fan dumbness than anything, WWE needs to educate them. I agree they just need to do infomercials on the website on what a Roku is and show someone using it etc. Until the network was announced I had no idea what a Roku was. If it wasn't for here I'd have no idea. I'm that 40 year old they need for this network to succeed. Once I got the Roku it was easy. If WWE could show how easy it is people my buy one of the other platforms and get it if you don't want to watch on your computer like me.

Part of the numbers not being as strong as they thought are with the other platforms their are still glitches. For example not all the house shows and legends round tables aren't up for VOD. Maybe people canceled and are waiting for all the glitches being worked out. I know I'm a little miffed about the problem.

According to the Observer the # internally wasn't what they were expecting and the stock has dropped over 6 dollars.

Some of the issue is that Mania was the big draw, I think. They also might lose people after the first six months are up. That is a good point. Though with some of the original programming they are offering up, and if they do some of the stuff similar to what they did for Wrestlemania weekend might offset the Mania draw. The other ppv's should keep the people growing as long as they keep the price cheap.

The number is solid, I think I was expecting in the 725,000 range. A million by years end isn't out of the question.

And that wasn't it! I'm kidding. It was great but I think you can have both. They already went over the 45 minute mark. Let it go three more minutes and have the locker room pour out. I'm with Will on this one. Bryan has been on his own the whole time. It was right for him to celebrate on his own. No reason to share the spotlight.

They did those brilliantly. Totally hooked me.

As a spectacle that was awesome. Triple threats are booked to be overbooked.

A Garvin stomp reference is always welcome.

I have a problem with the champ coming out 1st too. It makes 0 sense.
-
I thought the match was okay. Similar in vain of Cena/Wyatt where parts of it worked, but overall missed the mark. The crowd seems dead. Did that 1st segment burn them out?
-
Simply awesome.

Sounds like everyone has a lisp.

Took about 30 secs, but it finally got there. I'm using a Roku.

Boy you called that wrong.I don't know about that. Mr. T going on about his mom, and non-rapist brothers for 30+ tops Warrior's speech where he was all over the place on his agenda for craziest speech of the night. Not really. Mr. T had a great speech, don't get me wrong, Christ and your mother are probably the two most important people in your life so I think dedicating your entire speech to them is great, but I think Warrior handled himself well, said everything he wanted to say, set the record straight on a lot of things, and showed a sense of humor (the humor in T's speech was all the unintentional variety). I can't argue he wasn't all over the place because every acceptance speech is, but I have no clue how you can possibly say he had an agenda for craziest speech of the night. He was the exact opposite of that. People expected him to come out and shoot on everyone, but beyond a few jabs he was pretty professional. If I didn't know better, I'd say you didn't watch Warrior's acceptance speech and posted that response based on what you figured he'd do. Now I know that's not true, but that's how far off your account of it seems to me. When I said agenda I worded it wrong. I was referring more that he had an ax to grind with some things like the DVD, Jerry McDevitt, and Ted Dibiase Sorry for wording it poorly it was late. . I liked Warrior's speech. Going in though a lot of people thought their was a chance of a meltdown. Obviously the 5 year old DVD bothered him. He did rewrite history at times. Him propping up make a wish when their was that story in Bret's book about skipping out on a make a wish kid and family who were waiting on him in the hallway . Again it's who you believe has more credibility. Again a guy who legally changes his name to Warrior you might think he might give a bat shit crazy speech. I liked his speech. Personally I thought Jake's was the most heart felt. So it resonated the most to me. Who had the best speech is all based on opinion. Mr. T's was funny in that crazy sort of way. The fact he did this long ass speech to wrestlers and fans was funny. Other audiences might have shit all over him for content and the fact he wrestled 1 tag match, worked a boxing match, and was a special referee so he might not have earned all that time to give that speech. To me Mr,T's speech was great , but wrapped up in crazy. My point was that Warrior's speech couldn't be as crazy as Mr.T's . It wasn't . Besides some credibility issues ,and most wrestlers have credibility issues Warriors speech was good. I also don't think Warrior intentionally wanted to do a crazy speech . Sometimes I think he can't help himself . Here he did a good job for the most part .

I also loved how Maria M's favorite Jake Robert's memory was when his snake nawed on Randy Savage's arm when he was tied up in the rope.

It was nice that they got the time to do speeches. Sure some stuff dragged, but overall it was entertaining.

I can't believe Jerry McDevitt got his ass kicked by those Wildlife people was line of the night.

This is the most charisma I've ever seen out of Linda McMahon.
