Grimmas

The thing is they have more options than Reigns. Not to make a huge list, as there are options, but Dean Ambrose is right there. Over the summer who was more over and they shit it away.

Cool. Im guessing its not free for US subscribers as being out for almost a year in the states everyone would have signed up by now. IT'S FREE TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS EVERYWHERE!

That is the best idea if you are the WWE.

Why? It's not like the belt is changing on free TV. Nor should they act like it is going to. Paying to see title fights should be expected, in my opinion. Part of what devalued the titles, at least to me, was WCW & WWF giving away a bunch of stuff for free during the Monday Night Wars because they cared more about winning the ratings in a week instead of keeping their product strong. I agree that Brock was not around enough last year to be WWE Champion. He should have been, at the very least, at every other PPV. But I like him showing up sporadically, as it makes him feel like a bigger deal. If he was there every Monday to wrestle & the belt was with him each week, he would feel like everyone else on the roster: stagnant. When I said on TV I did mean on PPV. That is important to see the title defended at each Months show. This is probably the first time in history the title hasent been defended regulary. But just flat out not mentioning Brock on TV isnt good either. I know people moan about Cena holding the belt but if he had been given the belt at NOC we would have had regular title defenses. During the height of wrestling's popularity in the late 1990's Hulk Hogan barely defended the title in WCW. Also, having Brock lose the title to Cena after a month's reign would be the stupidest booking ever. The streak ends, SummerSlam has this crazy squash booking and then Brock loses the title int he rematch? Seriously?

In contrast Survivor Series 2013, when Bryan was pushed out of the main event. The pay-per-view was the worst-selling edition of Survivor Series since the event's inception in 1987; this has been attributed to a weak buildup.[4][5] It received 179,000 buys, down from 208,000 for the previous year's event; and attracted more than 100,000 fewer orders than the 2011 event, which generated 281,000 buys.[6]

What Bryan buyrates are lower?

If this keeps up Daniel Bryan should win most underrated in the WON Awards for 2015. How crazy is that?

The only fans that are going to cancel is those immature kids on Twitter who sulked over what happened at the Ryumble. Quite frankly I enjoyed the event and to me thats all that matters. Its a huge over reaction because you get thousands of hours of classic footage to watch and thats a great service. Getting the current PPVs is just a bonus and if it bothers them that much buy the PPV from SKY/cable operator. What happens on a PPV shouldnt count for whether you do or dont want the network. Its still a great 24/7 channel. You do realize that the majority of people have the network for the current product and not for old footage otherwise WWE 24/7 would had been a huge success. Yeah Doc, sometimes it seems like you don't accept that you have a minority opinion on things.

Actually no. I thought the whole point of the Network was for people to watch classic WWE stuff and current PPVs is just a bonus. 24/7 was just classic stuff but no idea of what numbers it pulled because it wasent available in the UK. No, the whole point of the Network was ppv business was dying so this is the new way to promote ppvs. The Network will live in and die by current footage. WWE 24/7 died and wasn't promoted on tv after the first few months, so how successful do you think it was?

So, the idea for this is "They won't push us so let's STEAL THE SHOW!"? That's maybe the worst idea for those guys yet. People aren't annoyed that these guys aren't allowed to have good matches, they have good matches all the time. WWE are confusing their crowd for a ROH crowd watching Spanky vs. Jamie Noble. Is anything going to be on the line? Even a number one contender match would work as a way for the match to actually mean something. I think if they aren't going to push him to the main level, at least putting him in a great match with time that steals the show is the next best alternative.

On the PWO-PTBN Facebook page the Match Club is watching Joe Doering & Suwama vs Go Shiozaki & Kento Miyahara (AJPW, January 2, 2015). Anybody have any thoughts on that one?

There could be your WrestleMania opponent for Bryan.

I completely disagree with this. Bryan should be the top act at least until SummerSlam. He is cleared to wrestle, so the neck is fine and there is no way in hell that Roman would be hurt by waiting another year. He's simply not ready. They've already gone through with it. Back peddling on reigns now will make everything ten times worse. Bryan can still be slotted into the main event for summer slam and we know the audience will buy it. Reigns doesn't have that luxury. I've got two words for you, "Injury angle".

This makes me sad - I am sure Grimmas, Kaufman316 and yourself could go and meet up at a SMASH show? I am probably going to be in Toronto for work purposes once a year and if timed correctly would love to go see a SMASH show with some of you guys. Musgrave too! PWO meet up at Smash in February!

Didn't the UK launch just start though? EDIT: 18th of January.

How do you salvage WrestleMania 31 now? If you are stuck with Reigns-Brock you really need Heyman to go with Reigns and Brock to go babyface. Ideally you re-sign Brock and he retains then you build up Reigns as a heel. Where does that leave Bryan? What if Rusev makes Cena submit at Fast Lane and Bryan takes on Rusev at Mania? Seth-Orton, Triple H-Sting are fine. Of course Cena, Dolph, Bray, Ambrose, Cesaro are all out there still. I like the idea of Cena being old and beaten down and not being able to cut it anymore so he wants to face a young gun at Mania to prove he still has it. Someone like Ambrose, Dolph or Cesaro.

WCW had a match (Nash vs Goldberg vs Steiner) where Goldberg refused to go up for a power bomb and do the job so he walked out. Afterwards the announcers had to talk about how unprofessional Goldberg was and now how Nash and Steiner had to improvise and come up with a finish on the fly. That is the worst booking in the history of wrestling and there is no comparison at all.

Hopefully! Its about time Rusev lost. It is so not the time for Rusev to lose and especially to Cena.

WrestleMania 31 1. Stardust beats Goldust. They make up post match. After Fast Lane there issues keep up and they settle them here. 2. The Usos successfully defend their titles against Harper & Kidd. Backstage Harper is confronted by Paul Heyman leaving Kidd alone. 3. Charlotte defeats Natayla. Proving divas are inferior. She is the future of wrestling. 4. Sting/Randy Orton/Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns defeat Triple H/Sheamus/Seth Rollins/Big Show in a crazy brawl. All of these guys on Sting's team are tormented by the Authority leading to Mania. Roman is very focused on taking out Triple H, but they are all looking for revenge. Post match Seth flips out on Triple H for being pinned and attacks him. Roman joins in and it looks like a Shield reunion, however Dean just walks away. Double team power bomb Triple H through the table, he is stretchered out. 5. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in their final match up to retain the IC Title. 6. Rusev defeats John Cena by submission to retain the US Title. After weeks of hounding, Cena agrees to come back after Rusev takes out a member of the US Army. Post match Cena is out and looks to be taken out by a stretcher when Harper appears on the ramp. He comes to ringside when the lights go out and Bray Wyatt returns in his chair (there was cryptic promos leading up to the show). The two of them corner Cena when the Shield's music hits. Roman & Seth both come to the ring to stop Harper and Bray. They do a stare down and then turn to all stare at Cena and completely annihilate him. Heyman then makes an appearance about how Cena let down himself, the WWE universe and America. These four men are the future of the WWE, but to be the future you have to kill the past. Menaing John Cena. 7. Andre the Giant battle royal won by Cesaro who gets a title shot at Extreme Rules. Cesaro is now a babyface after Fast Lane. 8. Daniel Bryan with The Undertaker in his corner defeats Brock Lesnar. Leading up to this match Heyman keeps trying to interfere, so Bryan goes to Taker for help. They train together and Taker agrees to be in his corner to keep his eye on Heyman and get revenge for last year. There you go, fuck the WWE and their shitty Royal Rumble mine was way better!

WWE Fast Lane, 2/22 from Memphis, TN Jerry Lawler returns as the WWE President. 1. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in a sprint match with a roll up. 2. The Usos destroy The Ascension. 3. Rusev comes out for his match they pull John Cena's name from a hat, he is not there. Rusev and Lana declare victory. Lawler interrupts and says he has an official list of competitors who are here and pulls out Goldust's name. A great match, which Stardust costs Goldust the win in the end. 4. Charlotte and Natayla beat The Bellas. Triple H and Stephanie call out Sting and make a challenge for Mania. A Street Fight Triple H brings the Authority and Sting brings his crew. He knows he is out of a job, but if he is out then he is taking Sting and company with him! 5. Luke Harper & Tyson Kidd defeat Ambrose & Reigns when Seth Rollins and Sheamus distract the referee leading to a Big Show KO punch on Roman. 6. Daniel Bryan defeats Cesaro after Heyman who was commentating at ringside tries to interfere by Cesaro stops him because he wants to do it on his own. 7. Randy Orton defeats Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match after a miscue by the Stooges.

Build up to Fast Lane. The Authority. The share holders hold a hearing on the WWE Network with many witnesses. It is confirmed they abused power and are removed from power. The legends committee will be the match makers and will be overseen by a new WWE President to be announced at Fast Lane. Triple H and Steph blame Sting and the babyfaces and demand Sting shows up at Fast Lane. The tournament wages on and looks like this coming into the show: New Age Outlaws_ | Sami Zayn & Dolph Ziggler______ |_Double Z___ | Double Z__| | The Miz & Damien Mizdow______| | |Kidd/Harper_ Los Matadores_______________ | | | Matadores__ | | The Vaudevillians_____________| | | | |Kidd/Harper_| | Jack Swagger & Justin Gabriel____ | | |Kidd/Harper__| | Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper_______| | |__WINNER The Shield___________________ | |Shield _____ | Curtis Axel & Titus O'Neill________| | | |_Shield_____ | A New Day___________________ | | | |Dust Bros___| | | Goldust & Stardust_____________| | | |_Shield_____| Adam Rose & The Bunny________ | |Authority____ | Seth Rollins & Sheamus_________| | | |_Authority___| The Lucha Dragons_| During the tournament Orton is dragged out by security in every Authority match to not interfere. Finally he gets in a shot against The Shield costing Rollins the match. Also Roman seems to have a single focus on taking out The Authority now. The Bellas are pissed about the interference in their rematches and they go to the committee and get a tag match for Fast Lane. If Natayla/Charlotte win nothing changes, if Bellas win they face each other for Divas Title at Mania. Cena doesn't show up on TV after walking out. Lana says that Rusev will pull a name out of a hat and face that person at Fast Lane. He continues to dominate. After Ziggler/Zayn are taken out of the tournament they agree to a rematch for the IC Title on Smackdown. The match goes to an hour draw, and a rematch is signed for Fast Lane. It is set with no time limit. So, Fast Lane Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins (Falls Count Anywhere) Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro (If Cesaro wins, he is the first challenger if Bryan wins the title) Natayla & Charlotte vs The Bellas (If Bellas win, winner of fall gets Divas Title and other Bella is #1 Contender) Rusev vs name drawn from hat (US Title) The Ascension vs The Usos (Tag Titles) Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns vs Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper (Lou Albano Tournament Finals) Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn (IC Title)

Rusev-Cena is the only good thing on the show. Yuck.

I think the Rumble killed everything. Tonight I will post what my plan was and give up on this idea altogether.

They couldn't wait one year with Reigns? Why the rush? Give Bryan is actually run and then next year give it to Reigns. He's young and has room to grow, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!
