So do a lot of the people who vote in Observer polls. There were people who had those two matches pegged as the best of the night long before the matches actually happened and would have still voted that way if the two matches were god awful and Roman vs Braun (who finished 1 & 2 for most overrated in the year end awards) had been a 5* classic. Roman I get as his case has been talked about countless times. But I'm shocked about Braun. I know he didn't really reach full awesomeness till this year but even by November he was clearly getting better and showing signs he was very good and worth a push.

I agree that it's pretty much the only metric we have left now that PPV buys and house show numbers mean pretty much nothing - unless, in the case of live events, attendance numbers drop or spike a significant amount - but I'm with CapitalTruth in the sense that it is given too much weight and comes off as a weak tool to ends a discussion in terms of drawing. Nowadays I'm more inclined to think we just don't know who is a real draw or not (unless, as I said before, numbers are undeniable better or worse than before). When the n°1 merch seller on the active roster is not the top seller in the entire company, I'm not sure how much of a feather in his cap that is or if it's worth a discussion about his "drawing power".

Saw that moment in the match and just started clapping. The guy just gets pro wrestling and I legitimately feel bad for him considering all this hate he gets. Someone of this talent deserves far more respect than he gets. Truly one of the best in-ring storytellers of our time and he has years to only get better. What did it for me was him not being able to scream "UAH!". He did the pose, a portion of the crowd screamed, and he sounded like his throat and lungs were fucking destroyed. It was brilliant.

Nah. It took Roman 5-7 minutes to mount his comeback and get the spear, but it wasn't enough, so he ended up getting destroyed. Super Cena ended matches in 1 minute or less spurts, this was anything but that.

That was as well done of a match as the angle that set it up. These two needs to be career long rivals

To add to everything already said. NOAH didn't help matters when they didn't have tryouts for like a decade. And when they finally had one it was already too late. The roster was way too thin in terms of up and comers, and the midcard was filled with people that didn't really matter or Jr Heavyweights.

My god the fuckery!

Why did they chose a picture where Anderson looks like he's taking a shit?

RAW has Braun, Roman and nothing else.

It's probably gonna be Dana.

SD gets Charlotte Owens New Day Enzo & Cass or Sheamus/Cesaro Sami or Rusev Jinder?

Braun should've been driving the ambulance. That would've been comedy gold.

They go to serious voices every time something important happens, that thing has lost all meaning.

bu bu bu bu but they burying Braun!

lmao did Roman get another wellness violation?

Braun is so fucking awesome

Either that or the wellness policy got his pick.

I'd be fine with Rusev, Cesaro and Sheamus.

Man with all these people going to RAW, Rusev better fucking go to SD.

I think that would've been bigger news considering Punk outsold Cena when Cena was still by far the n°1 merch seller in the company. Like, if AJ is drawing to that level I feel it would've had more impact, no? Then again he got a Mcmahon match and is moving to RAW so that kinda makes sense... SD need Rusev and Rusev needs SD. We all win.

Man I hope the "superstar shakeup" has Rusev going to SD.

Oh shit!

Surprised at how mild the crowd is for Brock.

Yeah, comedy Kurt is awesome.

I wonder why Vince didn't call it a draft.
